RELATED: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Devs Were Worried Symbiote Might Be Too Strong The game’s creative director Bryan Intihar and director Ryan Smith comment on this change in tone, explaining how and why they reached it. Insomniac’s showcase immediately makes it apparent that Peter has been using the Venom symbiote for some time now, with him becoming a more aggressive and frustrated person, as opposed to the amicable and quippy neighborhood hero. Throughout the years when Peter Parker has gotten the infamous Black Suit, it is usually followed by the character’s personality becoming steadily corrupted. One thing fans were discussing after the initial gameplay reveal was the possibility of the darker tones it could take. This includes the ability to switch between the two playable Spider-Men, Peter Parker once again coming into contact with the insidious Venom symbiote, and a showcase of the various mechanics in the game.

The game was shown at the May PlayStation Showcase, where fans received ten full minutes of Spider-Man 2 gameplay, which confirmed a number of things that gamers had theorized.

The developers of the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 have discussed how they managed to balance the sequel’s darker tone.
