Personally I think the Anti-Venom suit is a great resolution. Not every difficult choice a hero has to make should be a net neutral at best. Sometimes it’s nice to see a character make a choice that seemingly weakens them come back to help them in the end. Anti Venom is the culmination of all of Peters actions as Spider-Man. From giving second chances, to teaching miles, and of course leaving the Symbiote behind, and even that needed the other two to even happen. Let this Spider-Man be his own Spider-Man. OP Anti Venom powers and all. Getting rid of it would completely invalidate this entire game from a gameplay perspective. He got the arms from Ock, he gets the Symbiote from Venom. A key aspect of this Peter his him learning and becoming stronger as a direct result of his villains.

[@BatarangTV]

I agree

[@Sam.el-mexicano_5]

[@prons_gaming5083]

I agree. Also, from a gameplay perspective, he needs something to separate him from miles, and the arms just aren't enough. I prefer this peter as a character over this miles, his voice, his jokes, his style. But before he gets the symbiote, i much prefer playing as miles because he's just more fun. Once pete gets the symbiote, though, he's much more fun to play as than miles imo

[@daanyaalmohammed4300]

Agreed! Some people would argue having Peter keep the the Anti-Venom suit and powers it would make him OP. But really, it wouldn’t make sense to have him get rid of it because this suit helps distinguish himself from Miles a lot more and makes more of his protégé’ sequel in terms of power and abilities. Plus it would also be a waste to not use these abilities again in the future games as many people, (myself included) believe these are the BEST ones to use in the game. P.S I don’t think Insomniac would just forget about the Anti-Venom suit or it’s powers anyway, because they care about consistency and always delivering the best to they’re fans whenever they can.

I see the Anti Venom suit as the culmination of Peter’s journey. The Venom symbiote brought all of Peter’s trauma that he was trying to hide to the surface. He wasn’t properly healing and it was only with the help of Peter’s support system that he was able to finally start healing himself before he could heal his friend. It also symbolizes that after the pain Peter went through he won’t have to go through that again. P.S. The idea of more creative web attacks would be cool but it’s pretty clear they’re saving that for Silk. Peter keeping Anti Venom from a gameplay perspective helps distinguish him and it doesn’t take away the pain he had to go through to get to this point.

"Forced & sloppy justification for new symbiote powers" -- My brother in spandex tights, Mister Negative was the one who enabled Brock's Anti-Venom powers to begin with in its first appearance in the comics. We saw both the symbiote & Mister Negative make an appearance in the first game in 2018. That is neither forced nor sloppy, that is five whole years' worth of foreshadowing. As far as the mechanical spider arms not being as strong as the symbiote or the bio-electricity goes, have you considered that you just didn't give them as much of a chance? Especially since you confessed that you immediately dumped all your points into symbiote skills and didn't touch the mechanical arms side of the skill tree? For example, I greatly prefer Spider Rush over Symbiote Strike. Both abilities have Peter dash forward & scoop enemies up, and both web enemies to the wall instantly downing them if the move gets them close enough, however, at the end of each move, Symbiote Strike pops enemies up into the air vertically, while Spider Rush flings enemies incredibly far forwards, making it wildly more effective at instantly incapacitating enemies. And this whole mentality about "returning to the status quo" you keep going on about? That kind of thinking is what drove the current comics into the terrible spot they're in today.

[@shealupkes]

there was so much they could have done with the arms too, and it was so annoying how they felt the need to have either all of them come out or none of them come out, like the backflip kick peter does, they could have countered his momentum by crawling towards peter's target during the flip allowing peter to remain on the offensive, restrained people to keep them rom hurting him, grabbed people's guns, crawled for him while he's fighting on walls and ceilings, employing exactly the amount of arms that are needed for a given task, showing peter's experience enabling advanced improvisation and multitasking, how did no way home of all things do the arms more justice than this entire game?

[@aaronvasseur6559]

The fact Peter has a anti venom symbiote forever is amazing he overcame the original black suit and venom and is able to make anti venom part the best parts of the symbiote but he is in total control that alone makes this story ark amazing to me the fact he can keep the power of the black suit but not have to worry about loosing himself that is a finished story the explanation is just obvious we don’t need them to tell us the details we just use common sense

[@ziriyt989]

The reason why the black suit storyline works well is because it reflects real life addiction. Peter starts to become addicted to the black suit because it makes him feel stronger and better, and he feels like hes nothing without it. But the suit is making him angrier and more aggressive to his friends and family. When peter removes the black suit its such a powerfull moment because it symbolises overcoming addiction, but when you add anti venom it doesnt work because it removes the real life side of it, its the same as giving an ex meth addict this "new" meth that has all the positives and no negatives, its lazy writing and it undermines the conclusion of the black suit.

AV is extremely strong in comics, and acts basically the same way. Near unkillable unless something very extreme happens, can’t be shared, can’t really be removed, and most importantly can heal which is very important assuming this becomes Pete’s “Thing” for the rest of the series which I hope it does. I think he still has it and personally I like that, Pete needs something to make him stand out in 3 especially if silk comes along and this is a really fun way to cap off the symbiote arc in a way that’s really never been done before. Pete always looses the symbiote and now we finally have a story where he keeps it. I get how in the context of the game this doesn’t feel right but for the character as a whole this is basically Independence Day for symbiote spidey/Antivenom fans (remember- AV keeps getting killed off in comics so it’s barely around). Personally I’m in the boat that Pete should keep this for the long run, it can get expanded upon in dlc and the third and it’s a nice thing to make him stand out in the wider spiderverse

Edit: Regarding Peter's spider arms (thx again substitute zero), there isn't anything implying that Peter is using the intra-cranial nerual (can't believe I remember that) network like Otto did for his arms, so I think it does make sense that it wouldn't have drawbacks.

From what I remember, the problem with the arms was that Otto over engineered the arms just before he attacked the raft. The arms were working in a functional level after the arm test that they juggled some balls. Anything after that point was work on the neural link which Otto ask you to check out a magazine where you tell him about a gallium inter-cranial link and told him you don’t think it is a good idea before Otto gets excited and dismisses Peter’s discomfort, using one anyway when he shows Peter the octopus arms. I believe Peter just scaled down the arms and just made a different less invasive link for the arms that is just in the suit and works well enough to maneuver the arms. (Since he is a genius)

See, This video had me intrigued until the reasoning behind it was revealed which I disagree with Peter with Anti Venom is a natural progression for all characters related to the event, Peter’s growth in feeling helpless and wanting the power to sanction his lack of success, like his inability to handle Sandman like before, nearly forced to watch someone die despite all his best efforts and getting his ass kicked by Kraven as if he was a joke, which is why he put the Symbiote on, to feel more powerful, to be more effective, to be less a problem, more a solution, him taking it off after Miles snapped him out of painful mindset to then get slapped by Venom and almost turned back into a Symbiote, all while in the background he learns his own lesson in finding a balance between everything in his life, Miles and Li’s help in getting all the Symbiotic parts and his buried pain and his realization that balance requires time, effort and dedication, something Spider-Man as a job never gave him, until he finally uses the Anti Venom to gain the power he needs to no longer be a burden while simultaneously being a positive force to everyone around him is what Peter needed and his growth in his old dualism to balance between both sides. Li’s much needed development in granting positive and negative energy to anyone he chooses to work with, making up for his wrongdoings by helping Peter and Miles save the city, to not die as the revengeful man he once was, granting all his energy to Peter, freeing him from the power so it can be used in better hands, for Peter and Miles is excellent. Miles progressing from being a great Spider-Man AND a better Miles Morales by helping not Spider-Man, but Peter Parker, is something Miles needed to move on from the hatred he carried, the fear, the pain, reaffirming his belief in not only his enemies but himself, helping Li with freeing Peter.

idk if you missed this in the first game but Martin Li does know who spider man is, in the mission where you are trying to uncover Martin Li's secret according to your suspicion's he exits the room is gets caught by Martin Li who says "Hello Peter, did you find what you were looking for?" in a menacing tone before they get interrupted by Aunt May signaling us that he knows or has some idea of Peter's Identity.

[@GottiGzz24]

Sorry for the long typing… My “logical” explanation for it is that Anti venom is a non-symbiote goo that goes into the white blood cells instead of the mind and consciousness, so unlike normal symbiotes its pretty much permanent and can’t be detached or transferred to another host although another host can still get anti venom by having the symbiote on but Martin Li going in and removing the symbiotes negative effect on the host but Li may have lost his powers when doing it to Peter Maybe if anti venom has any weaknesses that I’m unaware of Insomniac can use that plot to get it off him when defeating Carnage if he shows up for an upcoming DLC

[@biominatti7523]

not everything has to come up in the story, its a game based on the comic books. the anti-venom is created when the venom symbiote left inside him is charged by Mr. Negatives energy and is basically revived in Peter and bonds to his white blood cells. Unlike the black suit, the Anti-Venom symbiote has no mind of its own, it has all the upsides of a regular symbiotes, enhanced even and none of the downsides. The Anti-Venom symbiote is essentially a cure to symbiotes so thats why its stronger against the symbiotes.

[@KaizoCPFC]

[@xyannail4678]

Short answer to the video: Yes, Peter will have/keep the symbiote.

[@jackbeavis]

I also don't get that he can do all of those cool abilities as Venom because the suit "knows what he wants to do", whereas for Anti-Venom he can still do those same ablities. Is it still conscious? Is he manually controlling the induvidual strands of it?

[@evilsohn]

But Anti-Venom was established in the comic years ago... tbh the only thing about it that caught me by surprise was the fact that Peter got it. I was completely prepared for Miles to get the Anti-Venom as soon as the story started to go back to Martin Li. If not before Across the Spiderverse, then after watching it and seeing that Sony's Spider-Man is officially it's own universe within the Spiderverse, I don't mind at all that a lot of things are different from OG Comic Books, like the omission of Eddie Brock, etc.

Think about it this way: Miles arc with Mr Negative gives him something to gain, by seeing his mentor get some power to defeat this army of symbiote. and, imagine if it was another ability doing something completely different. Would you still be complaining. And, I think that the anti venom suit is apart of his blood since he already got the symbiote so its not technically a venom symbiote.

I would have honestly loved to see a big form of anti venom vs Harry’s venom and just see 2 big dudes fight but either way the introduction of anti venom was important to end the story in a way that didn’t feel like oh yeah spider man just strong cuz emotional

[@wesselvanharrewijn3082]

anti-venom is literally just a brainless symbiote with no downsides, no mood swings, nothing. its anti-venom, its the opposite of what a symbiote does, instead of taking over the body and taking it for a joy ride, corrupting the wearer slowly until they are nothing but a husk of their former selves, the anti-venom is controlled by peter, only peter, and it doesnt mess with the user. the venom symbiote controls peter. peter controls the anti-venom. you can't even really call it a symbiote anymore because its not a thinking living creature, its just an extention of the wearer. in the comics, from what i know i never read them, eddie brock gets the anti-venom symbiote and he is the sole user of it when it was still bonded to him, he sacrificed it to get rid of a massive virus outbreak. but he like peter in insomniac's story is the one controlling the symbiote, the only thing the symbiote does is detect illnesses and heal them. other symbiotes are typically seen as illnesses. though in the comics samples the anti-venom symbiote and the carnage symbiote are combined in an experiment by alchemax and becomes the misery symbiote, wich does seem to have a personality but its most likely because it combines the two polar opposite symbiotes together into one.

[@Jozombies115]

When I first played the game, and Peter took the symbiote off, I was thinking, "Yes. All that power isn't worth it. This is so inspiring. He's giving it all up because his love for MJ and everyone else is stronger than his desire to feel unstoppable. He's going to have it much harder in life now, but he'll be fighting for the right reasons." And then my jaw dropped when they just gave him another symbiote, and MJ, who witnessed firsthand what the first one did to him, just went along with it unquestionably when he said he had another one. The whole story prior suddenly became worse, because it was no longer about how power corrupts, but about how there is always a way to get around that and have the power anyway.

[@shxie]

Nobody gave him another Symbiote. Mr. Negative just purified the Symbiote which remained in him after he ripped it away. So that said, the Symbiote never left his body in any way.

The thing with the arms is a weird point because its not like he just used his arms, he used the reasearch to make something similar, and in the first game peter was on his way to perfecting the arms, otto just didn’t give him the time. So it makes sense he could make a nerfed version of ottos arms, connect them to his suit instead of straight to his brain, and have it not affect him. Especially since otto had a mental disease that made him vulnerable when peter dosent

[@Twekion]

There's 2 Ways they coulda made this feel better narratively and gameplay-wise: 1: Peter DOES lose the Symbiote narratively, but we can still use it in the open-world and for side-missions, only disabling it in main missions (This wouldn't happen in New Game Plus though, you'd be able to use the Symbiote abilities even in the main missions there). 2: If they made the story longer, so that when Peter does gain the Symbiote back, it doesn't feel like it invalidates him losing it in the first place.

[@jacobcenter7374]

I too would have preferred that Peter just got abilities to show off his superior skill to Miles. Like yeah, Miles has experience now, but Peter still has about 9 years on him (assuming Miles started field training around a year after the first game). Give him some insanely flashy combo moves, or make him physically stronger and faster than Miles to balance with Miles's extra powers. Then they symbiote is a huge boost that lasts for a while then goes away permanently. My biggest gripe with the game is that in the final mission neither Peter nor Miles look like themselves. Peter is in an admittedly cool suit but it would be better if he was just him, and Miles looks like toothpaste with Adidas on

[@isaiahthomas4444]

Hey. Using a symbiote in Spider-Man 3 is gonna be lit

i don’t see an issue with the anti venom symbiote. it levels peter and miles in the same ball park. and it’s still a symbiote , except it can heal anything, destroy other symbiotes easily , and it doesn’t have the negative side effects he had while in possession of venom. plus miles has new powers which were said to be more volitive, so it evens out the playing field

[@lonestarwolfentertainment7184]

Exactly!

[@boldone66]

My main gripe with it is that narratively, Peter now owning Anti Venom just confirms that ultimately, he needed that power to actually keep up with Miles as Spider-Man. His arc in this game seems to be, at least in part, about the fear of not being enough of a hero to really save as many people as he wants to. While that's a good arc for him to have after everything that's happened in the first game, the fact that they actually did give him this power proves his fears right at the end. Not only that, but it's also absolutely unearned. Peter gets beat up, Miles and Lee attempt to help him, and manage to pull a hidden symbiote out of him and make it better. What this does ultimately is prove everyone right. Peter's strengths stop being his fortitude, fight spirit, experience and intelligence, and are now replaced with extra goo powers that just prove he was as weak as the cutscenes were suggesting prior to the black suit. Quick reminder that Peter used these strengths during the first game to actually defeat Otto, using his knowledge to create the anti ock suit, and his fight spirit to keep going regardless of how beat up he was and how many broken bones he had to deal with. The symbiote story usually represents the addiction for this devilish power that will consume the user. A drug too strong to give up. And now we're stuck with a version of Peter that gave the power up just to eventually lose yet again and be proven that he did need an external power to actually be useful. Pathetic ending for his arc.

[@The_Story_Of_Us]

I mean he can still actively choose how to use the Anti-Venom Symbiote thanks to Mr Negative, so like he can pack it away whenever he wants and now he has a more effective weapon against future symbiote enemies like Carnage (for all the good it'll do if Carnage has accurate comic book power scaling to Venom in this game, I don't think they'll go that route because he'd be fucking unstoppable, but still. Peter being Anti-Venom AND Spider-Man is fine. They're already kind of setting up the idea of him hanging up the webs with Miles capable enough to succeed him while he moves on to bigger projects like literally ending world hunger and shit.

[@mayday2237]

Honestly to me the best way to handle this would have been for Peter and the remains of the symbiote in him to have a parallel arc to Miles and Li. Within peter, under all that baggage is the part of the suit that just genuinely wanted to heal and be together. Peter and that remains reach an understanding, mr negatives powers give them a boost, and the anti venom suit is more a side grade to peter that gives him a new super mode and is especially effective on symbiotes. Power scale closer to Gwen's symbiote rather the stuff we saw the black suit do here.

[@papabear6611]

Well the good news is that the suit doesn’t seem to powerful anyway and is only really super effective against symbiotes. Despite combat moves being added the symbiote doesn’t feel any stronger which actually kinda pissed me off for story purposes but I get it. It’s hard to make things look worth it while not dogging on others

[@writer_man5318]

What I think works is that the Symbiote IS stronger in rage mode compared to Miles who just has a powerful AOE attack. The Rage mode is when Peter starts holding back less which is why the game has us enter that mode in two story missions where he's really pissed off. The Black Symbiote Rage Mode gives off an "out of control vibe" to it.

[@Monkeylighthouse]

Dude the symbiote is so much stronger, you literally have an I win button that charges quickly enough to be used in almost every fight, not to mention how good the venom abilities are, just because the suit doesn't let you be in rage mode 24/7 doesn't mean it's not stronger.

[@simonvpc8886]

When Peter saw Harry was dying again after the defeat of Venom, he should have given the Anti Venom Symbiote to him. It would act as a good ending, a way for the symbiote to leave the story and be a mirror of when Harry gave Peter venom

[@sunsetvibe1063]

I feel like the the abilities Peter have pre & post symbiote time could’ve easily been changed to just be acrobatic movesets. L1+Square could’ve just been the web bomb to compare with his anti venom bomb later on in the game. L1+Triangle he could still have slingshotted himself towards an enemy just take out the stupid hurricane effect that would no doubt slice the enemies in half rather than just blow them back. L1+Circle is a simple taser web, have it be the same ability just have be from his web shooters. And L1+X could still have Peter pull & push a guy upwards & create a shockwave, just don’t have him lean on the arms. Looking at them now, the arms are more cosmetic than I thought. Most of those moves, Spidey could already do without the arms. Or at the very least have the option to toggle the arms off for the abilities so they don’t look out of place on the suits that don’t have arms in at all. Like NWH final swing suit.

[@infamousplayer8772]

Honestly, I'm just glad they did something different with this arc for once. Sure, it wasn't perfect and everything about Anti Venom and how Peter acquired it could've been fleshed out better (kinda like everything about Anti Venom in the comics) but really, what is so wrong with trying to do something different? Having Peter keep the Symbiote and master it to use it for good has never been done before, and it works perfectly for a video game where the other option is to just take away all your fun, so why not just try and tell stories with that? About how Peter doesn't really feel comfortable having Anti Venom on him and would remove it if he could but can't, because it's not only impossible, but a tiny part of him still feels like he needs it. About how using it too much might awaken the symbiote's dormant violence and turn it into a more comic accurate Anti Venom look and he has to be careful to keep the balance. Peter's in control now, but there's still black in the white, just like how there was white in the black. It's being controlled doesn't mean it's harmless. The Anti Venom suit staying only poses a real problem if you think about it like one, so why not think about the good stuff it can bring too?

[@notryan9233]

IMO they should have done a lot more to make the black suit feel stronger. Maybe recharge is half the time on abilities and you do a fraction more damage than usual which when he got anti venom could have made it normal speed that way you get the fun parts but it’s not as powerful and it’s not like the black suit in that way TLDR : making anti venom weaker since it’s only a little bit left of the original symbiote

[@DB-Fighter-Carson]

But it's Martin Lees powers added in, in the comics its just a zap of Martin Lees powers to a cancer treatment Eddie Brock and he gets Antivenom which is all the power and more from a symbiote without it having any personality its just your white blood cells mixed with symbiote and Lee powers doesn't make much sense in the slightest but Insomniacs not only has more stakes pays off narrative wise it has all of Lees power which he loses for putting into Pete.

[@Jozombies115]

Really all the black suit amounts to is a different slightly better set of special moves and the rage meter. It's decent but you certainly don't feel like symbiote Spider-Man should. For example, I was fighting Yuri with the black suit the other day and she brought me from full health to dead in 3 fucking hits. That shit would never fly in any other symbiote storyline. I feel like they should have made you more powerful in a number of ways, especially in the health department.

Here is what I think he gives anti venom to Harry in the third game and also I agree that you should have had a more in depth mission with Peter earning the suit maybe he has to be the one to destroy that core or whatever but I think they should have said the suit was weaker than Venom but there is one thing I disagree with and it is because anti venom is immune to sound in the comics so that isn’t a stretch

I kinda wish they never did the Anti-Venom suit because I liked how it let you feel the power of the symbiote and then took it away. A big reason why Peter always struggles with letting the symbiote go even when it's changing him is because he knows it makes him stronger and able to save more people. I think having you be significantly weaker throughout the rest of the game would've driven home that point so much harder because it wouldn't just be Peter having to struggle with that problem, you as a player would actively be grappling with having to rely on your own strength instead of the symbiote's. Not that I have a problem with the way they handled it,, it just felt like a missed opportunity

[@monke1419]

This is such a dumbass complaint 💀 literally half of the game is about Mr. Negative. Miles’ progression through losing himself to revenge is paralleled by Peter’s loss to the symbiote. Miles overcomes this and helps Peter do the same as Peter rips off the suit at the end of their fight. Peter still having parts of the symbiote inside him is like it is in the comics like you mentioned, and miles’ whole arc with Mr. Negative has the climax of entering peters mind where both miles and peter both put down their leftover spite and insecurities brought on throughout the story by miles making peace with Mr. Negative and Peter forgiving himself for his failures. The symbiote used those insecurities to twist Peter’s mind to justify doing things against his philosophies, and equally badly miles’ evolved venom blast powers were repeatedly described as volatile and every time their used early in the game it emphasizes miles losing control of his emotions, forgetting his core principles as Spider-Man and by proxy nearly putting innocents in danger. In this journey with Mr. Negative into Peter’s mind, miles reaches his peak in the game with his evolved venom powers when making peace with Mr. Negative despite the previous descriptions and showings of this power being bad or unhealthy. In the same way, the symbiote powers aren’t bad lol. The effects the symbiote previously had on Peter’s behavior were, and peter overcomes these faults symbolically while strengthening his powers physically in the same way miles does. The symbiote powers for Peter follow the same story that the evolved venom powers do for miles, they both reach character progression character progression and power milestones nearly simultaneously throughout the story, and if anything I’d be disappointed if he loses the anti venom suit in the dlc with carnage. Miles’ evolved venom powers and Peter’s symbiote powers aren’t bad, the influence they initially had over their actions were bad, and both of them achieving a greater sense of maturity and emotional control with their abilities balances out the boost in power that these new abilities give. All of this potentially (very likely) leading back to the core lesson of this game being “balance”, as aunt may tried to teach Peter back when his life was once again out of balance. When he first gained the initial boost in power from his spider abilities and the responsibilities that came with it that he struggled to balance along side his personal life, he ended up lashing out in frustration. Notice how as he does keep the suit, he also simultaneously ends the game taking a temporary break from spider-man so he can finally find a sense of balance in his life, his relationship with MJ, and with the foundation literally named partially after aunt may, which he is now currently the only founder of. Narratively the idea of the suit isn’t weak and keeping the suit isn’t even weird either. Plus it’s cool. Even on a more superficial level, he doesn’t even need to keep that suit over his body all the time clearly since you can wear any suit and they added the detail of having the anti venom/venom suit crawling over Peter’s body whenever he goes into surge mode. So canonically he can probably just spider-man around normally as like his “base form” and just go into anti venom mode whenever he wants to get serious. I mean unless he does lose the anti venom suit in the dlc for some reason, Peter was in the across the spiderverse movie (which is clearly canon to the insomniac universe and just takes place after Spider-Man 2) and he clearly wasn’t wearing the suit (mostly cuz it’d be a spoiler, but still). So it’s not even like him keeping the suit from now on makes him “not Spider-Man enough” cuz he doesn’t have to have it on all the time. They obviously just wanted to shake things up by giving him the anti venom suit at all and letting him keep it, and yes it does work gameplay wise as to not throw away half of Peter’s gameplay mechanics for the end of the game, but it wasn’t just thrown into the story in a way that doesn’t make sense like you were trying very hard to imply in this video. Even the suit burning away at other symbiotes isn’t something thrown in out of nowhere for gameplay mechanics only. It was obviously something very significantly given spotlight for anti venom in the comics and in the game it serves a narrative purpose of peter being able to potentially symbolically purge Harry of the same things I mentioned were plaguing peter emotionally while also literally purging the venom symbiote on Harry. Which is why miles’ evolved venom powers are implied to do a similar thing to a notably less significant extent. I’m not gonna say this game is the single best written Spider-Man story of all time or anything, but complaints like this feel more like fake justifications for superficial things that bothered you in the game rather than anything significant.

[@GoldLight73]

For me, I think the issue is that Miles is fundamentally just a better Spider-man. He has all the same powers as Peter, plus bioelectricity and cloaking. They COULD have used tech to help Peter stand out a bit more, were it not for the fact that this series thinks every teen is a super genius who can create advanced sci-fi tech and software from the comfort of their bedroom (Miles is out here making a “hack anything” app on his phone well before he even gets powers.) If they’re really going to bring in Silk, yeah, Peter needs his own gimmick to stand out.

[@writer_man5318]

Plus it would kind of be a dick move on Peter's part to not give certain tech to Miles just so he can "keep up" as it were. There's a reason that other than arms - which were prototypes - Miles and Pete use the same gadgets.

[@agrilsunil1]

Peter can never get rid of his space drug.

[@The1stGiant]

I’m gonna be honest this really just sounds like a Well thought out and fully expand upon nitpick. For one, I actually totally believe Peter would potentially be able to take dark ox technology and improve upon it for his own use. In fact, that’s not really are you surprised to me considering in the first game, Peter’s character is set up and shown to be very and fully capable of doing such a thing, as well as he also showed major interested in potentially assisting Otto with making his technology safe for use, and in fact, it seemed like he very much wanted to would have, and could have done exactly that if not for Otto going on a rampage as doctor octopus. In fact, I would say it’s generally kind of just good writing to show us that as an example of parallel line, plot points, and scenarios to subtly bookend the game. if you really want to get married anything I’d say it’s the fact that from narrative perspective, it seems like it doesn’t make sense that you would be able to still play Peter after the game is completed based on how the story ended. I’d say that’s more of a gameplay convenience than the anti-venom suit.

[@billygregory1547]

Here’s some things i personally didn’t like about Spider-Man 2. Lmk if u agree 1. Miles’s blue electricity shouldn’t come from Martin Li. It makes perfect sense for his powers to be altered due to absorbing all that Nuform. That makes sense. But no they didn’t do that. 2. I don’t like how Peter’s arms just come out of nowhere. They had potential to have Peter go to the Raft and have a conversation between him and Doc Ock so Peter gets inspired to succeed where Doc Ock has failed. Also they coulda done a little thing where Peter gets a call from Miles and he’s like “Hey Miles what’s up?” and then he’s like “on my way” so that Doc Ock knows or at least guesses that Miles is the other Spider-Man. Cuz how would Doc Ock know Miles is Spider-Man when Norman asks him if he knows who they are. It makes sense. But back to the arms for a second. It would’ve been cool to see Peter unlock the arms in the story. Just like how he unlocks the white spider suit from Doc Ock’s influence. And as a bonus there’s a nice parallel between both games. Peter gets an upgrade from Doc’s influence. Same thing for the web wings. They should’ve been something that u unlock and not just pull out of ur ass like it’s nothing 3. I don’t like how Peter basically dies and then immediately gets the symbiote. Like why did they do that? It’s pretty obvious Peter wasn’t gonna die cuz he hasn’t gotten the symbiote yet. So that whole scene just felt off to me. Also anyone who’s seen the trailers would also know and be like “nah Peter won’t die cuz we only just now got the symbiote.” Idk man like i get it they r trying to tease Peter’s inevitable death cuz they did that in Miles Morales too. Like they r really teasing Peter’s death cuz he almost got killed by Sandman till miles saved him. 4. There should’ve been cameos from other heroes. Venom taking over Manhattan is definitely an Avengers level threat. Or at least have another hero show up to help. Like apparently there’s a Daredevil game that’s in the works. It woulda been cool to see a cameo from him. Nothing too big just something small and quick. Or maybe even a Wolverine cameo cuz his game is gonna be in the same universe as Peter so there ya go. Like they teased Doctor Strange and Wong but we didn’t even see them. That was lame as hell. Or maybe we coulda seen them in the later portion of the game fighting symbiotes or something idk. 5. They should’ve gave Peter a super ability with the iron arms. Like how for Miles u press both circle pads and he makes a huge shockwave. We coulda had a thing for Peter where if u equip the ability to be spider arms instead of symbiote powers, he’ll unleash his arms and u can fight with the arms out instead of them only appearing for a second when u use the simple abilities. Cuz in the first game when u pull out the arms u can actually use them in combat when ur punching and kicking or whatever but we only see the arms for a short amount of time when he uses his abilities when in reality if i had iron arms i’d use that shit for more than 3 seconds. Like god damn this game had potential and all that hype around nothing. Anyway i’m done. If u actually read all this 👏 👏. Thx for reading all i have to say

[@TheScarletWing2490]

We need to treat this Spider-Man as a video game character, not his comic book superhero counterpart.

Also, and I know I'm in the minority here, but I've been literally begging for Marvel to give us a Universe where Peter and the Symbiote get along and he keeps it forever, so this is literally what I've been asking for.

Thirdly since the anti venom seems to be the same as it is in the comics then Peter should be able to cure Harry’s unknown illness as in the comics the anti venom symbiote can cure its host and others not just heal.

My hope is that SM2 is themed heavily on the symbiotes and that by the end of the DLC there will be some way it will be removed, like I don't know giving it to Harry so he can be Anti-venom? I mean there is even a gadget in this game that is symbiote specific. I just hope the third game we get a more tech friendly peter like in the first game

[@xr9790]

Going off the books, he isn’t supposed to be able to take it off. He just has it until something very extreme happens to kill the suit. But the good thing is that AV can heal basically any disease so I can see him using it to heal Harry, or assuming it has some negative powers maybe activate Harry’s remnants and make him into AV

[@MAXHALO369]

Honesty i think the Anti Venom Symbiote will sacrifice itself to kill Carnage in the (hopefully) inevitable DLC. The game sets up Carnage for DLC expansion so hard I'll be shocked and honestly a little disappointed if they choose to keep him back for Spiderman 3. Peter even makes a comment about how there are still Symbiotes in the city after main story meaning there is obviously still a very real threat that needs dealing with and so it makes sense to wrap up the Symbiote storyline in a DLC. Also it would make sense from a product standpoint too, Hammerhead was a pretty underwhelming DLC villain in the first game so having Carnage as the DLC villain for Spiderman 2 is much more likely to entice people to buy it.

I honestly disagree that "nothing" about the Anti Venom suit works because Miles is the one who gives it to him because Peter mentored Miles and showed him how to be a hero Miles saved Li inspite of his hate when Peter failed to truly save Li in Spider-Man 1 and because of that good Peter created in the world they came back around and saved him in turn. Peter "earned" the powers through mentoring Miles and helping mold a hero who would surpass him in many ways.

[@G.S.I_Labs]

It would make sense, would be a good replacement for the arms from this game that everyone used for only five seconds, and it puts Peter on par with Miles’s venom ability, making the gameplay feel the same for both so you don’t have to learn 2 play styles. I personally don’t have a huge issue with this, as we get to keep some badass abilities.

[@smol-man]

Gonna be honest. This video is just extreme exaggerations and saying anti venom shouldn't have been added is probably one of the dumbest things I've heard about this game. It's introduction and the build up to getting it was really well done and getting to see miles and lee help peter overcome his guilt about losing may was heartwarming

[@boredbitch666]

because miles punched him hard enough in the boss fight. srsly tho martin killed his dad and peter's aunt and a billion others.

[@Arsene0X]

Complaining that the Anti-Venom symbiote doesn't corrupt Peter is a bit silly considering that it's not supposed to. In the comics with Eddie, he was only crazy because he considered the suit to be a blessing from God making him some messiah due to the healing abilities the suit gave him. It shouldn't do anything to another user, just like it didn't do anything with Flash when he was Anti-Venom for a little bit. It's a suit that purifies things, and thats why it can deal more damage against symbiotes like in the comics. It shouldn't really have a weakness towards sound in the first place. Yes, it's still a symbiote, but not a natural one.

title: "So... does Peter have a *SPOILER* forever? Proceeds to show anti-venom in the thumbnail.

[@TheImmortalBloodwolf]

From what I know about anti-venom... Separating Peter and Anti-Venom would result in a de-powered Spider-Man... Miles Morales would be forced to replace Peter completely... This is because anti-venom has been shown in ALL previous incarnations to cure any disease, infection, FOREIGN SUBSTANCES!!! Foreign substances as in the same foreign substance that gives Peter his powers!!! In the comics when Eddie Brock was Anti-Venom he tried to cure Spider-Man of spider powers and Spider-Man barely got away... As a result of this encounter comic book Spider-Man found his powers weaker within the presence of anti-venom from then on because progress was made in the de-powering Spider-Man The only logical reason for this version of Spider-Man to still have spider powers post getting the anti-venom symbiote is the fact that the symbiote is replicating the powers he no longer has... Something symbiotes have been known to do... if anti-venom is removed from Peter Parker he will be POWERLESS!!! They should just do a update to fix that one mission to be how you suggested it suggested it because that's the most they CAN do

[@hammer-0]

I see no problem it doesn't effect the stroy negatively, and I don't think any features should be added to where there a consequence for using the anti venom. They need ways to keep Peter fun alongside miles and iron arms just aren't enough for that I just hope in the next game Peter can use his symbiote powers in his normal suit so we won't have a full white and black suit. Also i think the devs just using the symbiote as another abbitle set was right because it is and it doesn't take away how much stronger peter is in symbiote form when miles also has gotten more powerful which likely made him stronger aswell. I don't agree with your iron man take it doesn't effect peter stroy at all in spiderman ps4 peter was constantly showcasing how much smarter he is then otto so if he made his own arms it wouldn't matter because he doesn't have the issue's that otto has plus Peter isn't using doc ock specific arms he could just be using the arms and controlling them is by using his suit or something. About the anti venom it doesn't effect the stroy because that in comics and it's justified for that reason the anti venom was simply a way to keep the gameplay fun but it also was a way to set up venom fight hs needed something to fight venom while miles had blue powers so the devs did think about story before they brought it in and it also helped miles and li get through their problems so it positively impacted the story. One last thing the peter soul mission with miles and li wouldn't have fit to add slme type of emotional part for pete its just not really where his development leads after Peter gets the suit it shows that.

[@adityarawat8090]

5:04 Finally someone accepts this. I swear people debated soo much that Peter is stronger than miles that they would not accept peter needs the symbiote suit to keep up with miles, at least in game

[@comicfan1324]

I’m kind of hoping that they just kept the anti-venom suit so they can fight Carnage later on (hopefully in DLC). Perhaps Peter has to use all of the energy of the sun be able to destroy Carnage? (and then one to throw into free roam, even if you still have access to it, you can just write it off as non-canon uses.) Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t hate it if this suit stuck around, as you could argue it helps make this version of Peter different from other ones in the spider-verse… But it’s way too overpowered. Having something as strong as the Symbiot suit without any consequences means that either, he’s gonna have to be fighting people more powerful than the rhino on a daily basis, or things are just gonna be too easy. And as we all know, if life is too easy for Peter Parker, it’s not a Spider-Man story.

[@justrad7637]

i dont think there are issues at all aside from further story not mentioning it pete gets a symbiote that doesnt mess with his mind and cant take over its literaly the venoms weakness it gives similar power boost as venom so for pete its just a win-win situation his break isnt physical , its mental , its letting himself and people around him breathe , take some time off from all the spiderman stuff for a while

[@pio1483]

>censors the spoiler in the title for people who haven’t played yet >puts the spoiler in the thumbnail

[@czms922]

Ummm what? So 1 the points about Peter really not being able to match up with miles without the symboite is valid I’ll give you that. The part I’m disagreeing with though is that anti Venom was shoehorned in, like no? If anti venom wasn’t there they weren’t gonna take down venom that’s for certain, he had to cleanse harry from venom did you miss that part?

[@ElliotFW]

IMO Peter should have upgraded the iron arms to use nanotech based on the symbiote, and have the nanotech as a reskin of the symbiote ability set. Gameplay wise, there’d be no real sacrifice, but it’d still be better than functionally KEEPING THE SYMBIOTE WITHOUT ANY OF THE DOWNSIDES. Seriously, it irks me that that is the solution they chose! When the game was being teased, I was under the impression that the iron arms would be the replacement for the symbiote in gameplay; that just seemed like the obvious answer of “how do we replace the symbiote in gameplay?”

[@nuabe8285]

I’ve think of something similar in the endgame of SM1, I was expecting the anti-OcK suit to extend in some parts of it like the Doc’s robot arms. That would have been so good if he did that with his iron arms, based on his old job for example.
