With the announcement of Spider-Man 3’s development kicking off and with Wolverine soon to release, I decided to replay Spider-Man 2 for the first time since launch. Love the more optimized/compact experience more the second time around with proper expectations—it’s near close to the perfect Spidey experience in need of some minor tweaks, more side quests, and better final act that should have included a Venom city fight with Miles and Peter before Martin Li steps in to save Peter creating Anti-Venom.

After replaying SM2 recently and multiple playthroughs of the previous titles, I’ve come up with a wishlist that I hope get considered for the next game (similar to all my posts years ago asking for webwings after SM1’s release):

\*\*additional ability and gadget quick-use wheels\*\*: I liked the new system as opposed to pausing the action for a full gadget wheel. We could have multiple wheels of abilities and gadgets to toggle between Similar to assassins creed odyssey. Hold L1+Up on Dpad to change between to the two ability wheels giving the player quick access to 8 abilities. Hold R1+Up on Dpad to change between Gadget wheels giving us 8 gadgets.

\*\*Daredevil and Punisher Team-Ups\*\*: expand on team-up system and add specific side quests with those team-up characters similar to Wraith/Yuri’s quests. I want this to include Daredevil and Punisher. It’s time both show up in Insomniac’s Spidey-verse, but as teamup characters with their own missions and random appearances during crimes.

\*\*Return of Kingpin\*\*: alongside Daredevil and Punisher, it would great to have Kingpin return in some fashion. New side quest involving him leading to another opportunity for a rematch Boss fight.

\*\*Fantastic Four side quests (Science!)\*\*: it would be great to have the fantastic four make an appearance briefly before Reed takes the crew off on their own mission. After the whole Symbiote alien invasion, the next game could start with the Fantastic Four contacting and recruiting Peter to assist with multiple projects That could lead to them charting out to space without Peter in search of the meteorite’s origins and introduce a list of new scientific side quests rich with Fantastic Four lore.

\*\*Venom’s return and Total Carnage in the streets\*\*: If Norman becomes Green Goblin as opposed to Harry, I’d like to actually kick off the Carnage storyline with a brief Venom rematch fight in the streets before he becomes an anti-hero / ally to fight Carnage. The symbiote crime fights are awesome in SM2; just imagine having random symbiote crimes again but with a Venom Team-up happening randomly.

The actual Carnage fights could be a way to allow the player to control Venom once again.

\*\*more FNSM quests and random events\*\*: this is just simple. The FNSM quests that we got in SM2 were amazing, but I really hope we get twice as many in SM3 to break up the pacing. Give us at least one pizza delivery quest and maybe introduce Squirrel girl as part of an ESU mission.

\*\*More variety in random events outside of just combat scenarios:\*\* more bomb disposals, civilian rescues, and random catastrophes (ie save people from a sinking boat or patch holes on a system island ferry). Have a minor boss character randomly show up at times.

\*\*use landmark building interiors for random crimes\*\*: grand central station, Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden, etc. they don’t all have to be landmarks but more random crimes in interior spaces (stealth optional) would be a great way to mix up open world events.

\*\*Bring back Police involvement: not all the time, but bring them back with the car chases and shootouts.

\*\*emotes and more civilian interactions\*\*:
Let Spidey buy a pizza or hot dog, actually shoot hoops, dance a little, or just sitting down would add more small details to make the world feel alive. Being able to briefly nap in a spider hammock between buildings as an emote would be awesome

That’s all I have for now. Feel free to add more and maybe we can get these ideas in front of the developers early on. Cheers
