What kinda irritates me about Spidey’s voice the most is also the pitching up, not just because it generally sounds weird, but because.. well, if I’m being honest, its a weird decision based on WHO’S voicing him. Sean Chiplock’s normal voice already kinda sounds like Spidey. A little *too* deep, ever so slightly, but still believable as a wisecracking young adult. Heck, you could just probably take the lines he did as say, Mista in JJBA, and put them over Spidey’s in-game scenes and theyd sound more natural.

[@aryandairshad]

I didn't know who he is prior to this so I looked up some performances and dude has range! And you're right, If he wasn't so high pitched his voice would lend really well for Spidey.

[@NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

While I'm a simp for giant Chad body 90s cartoon spiderman, I do think the best middleground would be slimmer, really defined and acrobatic looking. Type of build if an Olympic gymnast never ever stopped exercising lol And also yeah, video of this game really emphasizes how they've just badly copy and pasted animations from the insomniac game.

[@NobodyC13]

Yep, Spider-man is superhuman with the strength to match, but his power set excels at speed, agility, and stealth. So it makes sense that he's lean like a trained dancer and acrobat than a body builder (it's one of my pet peeves that Spider-Man costumes always feature fake muscles). In fact, in the early comics, Steve Ditko always rendered Spider-Man as scrawny to reinforce that he's a teenager but to also incorporate the uncanny poses he make that give the character a subtle creepiness. But did Square Enix really need to add those out of breath sound fx when he's wall-crawling at normal speed when Insomniac could have you sprint him up a sky scraper at 30+ mph?

The segmented sleeves in the Insomniac Spider-Man game are the only ones that haven’t bugged me. It took me ages to even notice it and even knowing it’s there it doesn’t jump out and grab your eyes to scream “look! Something’s missing here and you can never unsee it.”

[@stanfordfeynman2796]

And that segment in the sleeve at least makes sense with the fact that the red shoulder is a separate piece that sits on top of the blue, which is why there’s a segment on the trapezius area as well as the sleeve. Quite ironically, for the new sequel coming out, they removed the segment on the sleeve but kept the trapezius segment, which now makes it look like his suit has blue bra straps….

[@cityescape2031]

@Rangeet Ch.Lahiri because they crafted a different origin story with 3 movies so that we care about the other characters in the franchise while teaching the same lesson without making it boring. The difference is he became Spider-Man first, but the true responsibility thing was taught after a few years because as he grew up Peter did have a selfish side and in NWH Aunt May completely wiped out his selfishness to selflessness. That's why the cup he brought back had written "we are happy to serve you" that became is mantra for future as the Spider-Man.

[@cityescape2031]

@Rangeet Ch.Lahiri would it be fun to see the same story? I believe the most OP power spidersense was nerfed so that Peter learns it's importance shown in no way home. And a gradually growing Spider-Man instead of all at once was pretty good since Peter mentioned that his senses were dialed to 11 and he uses the mask to filter it. He told that to Tony. I hate the concept of Ironman making him a suit even though it looked really good and gave great concepts only if it was made by Peter I would've been happy but I'd say that would've been unrealistic as he is a genius but he is 15 and MCU was literally ruled by Ironman, you can blame the Winter Soldier for this, people were angry why Nick fury didn't call the Avengers in a Captain America movie, so they gave a brief Ironman in Spider-Man and people were still mad and through all that they made a great story where Spider-Man really grew up. Tbh Raimi trilogy had same storylines 3 times the only growth he did was when Ben died and when he regained his powers. Sam Raimi didn't make him do nerdy stuff even though he was nerdy, NWH redeemed all three Spider-Man in one movie and I believe that deserves an applause.

Yeah, I'm sure some info will be released after the game eventually gets the plug pulled. Another KZbinr by the name of Evan Filarca heavily believes that Avengers wasn't intended to be a Live-Service game, but Square Enix forced Crystal into making it one, because making it Live-Service was believed to be the option that would make them more money, but due to the game's poor launch resulting in a $63M loss, that was a decision that only shot them in the foot. I would not be surprised at all if this turns out to be true, Live-Service games should be designed with said model in mind, but with Avengers, the Live-Service aspects felt like an after-thought since updates don't release all that consistently and there was no build-up to any of the Wakanda stuff at all other than a throwaway line from Kate Bishop saying something like "are we going somewhere exotic, like Wakanda?" before one of the missions in her DLC. Like there was no mention of Monica hiring Ulysses Klaw and building an army, or her wanting something from Wakanda beforehand it just... happens. And the Avengers are just randomly already there as if they knew AIM was planning an attack on Wakanda or something.

I understand removing the sleeves when their meant to be gloves he can take off, so the whole suit isn't one piece. There removing them serves some purpose as it's where the invisible seam would go, versus when it's just a pointless redesign for no reason.

This is why I like insomniac they care about Spider-Man and they care about the suits they’re in the game for free and when adding new suits to the game they were still free just play the (frustratingly hard) missions in the dlc and you get a suit and the rest of them are added as a free updates Raimi suit added as a free update for Christmas The fantastic four suits added as a free update for the Disney and fox deal being finalized The far from home and the no way home suits added as a free update just because the movies were releasing (even if the movie no way home suits were ps5 only) And just because a remastered version was coming to ps5 if you were ps4 owner you still got 3 incredible suits including the amazing movie suit as a free update Yet I’m seeing people go crazy about avengers Spider-Man’s costumes and I didn’t even care or like them because I knew they were just there for money plus I thought insomniac did costume designs better I had already sold my copy of avengers prior to this coming out in the summertime for a Ben 10 dvd As much as phin pisses me off in the miles Morales because she’s downright stupid at least there’s a villain to fight there’s nothing here for Spider-Man to fight other than robot number 46,853 This may be a bold statement but I’m sticking to it and I’m gonna say it right here right now this game is the superhero equivalent to battlefront 2 a game just there to collect money and the development team doesn’t give a shit I’ll admit I tried to give this game a chance at first but even when playing it I screamed out of frustration at the endless waves of robots while standing in a circle and i just wanted to play Spider-Man while playing it there’s nothing special about this game in fact I owe guardians of the galaxy an apology it actually tried and I’m looking forward to insomniac giving us Spider-Man 2 And they’re take on wolverine

I think they often divide the arm sleeves in an attempt to contour the shoulder muscle?

[@LochNessHamster]

I actually really like the Iconic Suit in this game. I love the shades of bright red and dark blue that they used, and I really like how it's segmented. Barring a few eyesores like the design of the symbol and the excessive panel lining, I'd say it's my favorite Spider-Man suit. I do agree that the insistence on constantly redesigning the classic suit is infuriating. I hate that superheroes aren't allowed to just look like superheroes anymore. I hate seeing Batman wearing mostly neutral gray suits that don't have the trunks. It looks like he's wearing a boiler suit. I just like how, at least at a distance, the Iconic Suit is very minimalist and clean, and again, I really like the color choice. I've noticed I tend to like Spider-Man suit designs that are like 10-20% more Nightwing than the classic suit is. Miles, Superior Spider-Man, the Alex Ross movie suit, the Upgraded Suit from Far From Home. They just look clean and sexy to me.

[@slat1202]

I’ll give the iconic suit one thing, it chose between sleeves or no sleeves. I personally like no sleeves as I feel it makes the arms look constistent with how the legs have no sleeves either so I’m fine it. But while I can tolerate flat sleeves, segmented designs like the insomniac one where it just has little broken lines in the arms infuriate me to no end because it’s just small little details that only confuse the design further. (Kinda similar to how the belt on the iconic suit seems like it’s supposed to be there but isn’t.) So yeah, that and if the spider logo wasn’t so ugly I would like the back part more because I personally hate the tick that’s on his back in every iteration of the classic design but the logo is bad so i honestly just prefer the tick. So that’s all I like (and to an extent, kind of disagree with GM over). Everything else is just weird and convoluted.

[@LochNessHamster]

@@slat1202 I just don't like the way the suit design is trying so hard to look like a futuristic tech suit while also trying to be an iteration of the classic suit. It makes it seem insecure. I had the same feeling with the first Andrew Garfield Amazing Spider-Man suit. I really liked the way that suit was colored and textured, but it was just trying too hard and it feels disingenuine. It didn't seem like something Peter would've designed as his first suit. Every good designer needs to know when to have restraint.

[@Zeromaru42]

@@LochNessHamster To be honest I like the PS4 rendition of the classic suit the most just because it's clean and just like the comics while still seeming realistic due to Peter's experience. When the Advanced suit happens it feels like a step up but a logical one that breathes new life into the design. When I look at this version I suddenly feel very sad and angry because they could have just made a version of that rendition or pay Sony the extra Money for the Advanced Suit. He was already gonna be Playstation exclusive why they didn't go the extra mile is beyond me, but it shows that this game is beyond shadow of a doubt dead. This version just looks wrong anyone else think the Logo on the front is both too small and undetailed? The MCU ones show you don't have to make it super big to get the point across just make it a cool centerpiece. This is what identifies him as Spider-Man this version just doesn't look right. I would have rather them do a spin on the MCU Original suit then doing this to the classic Spidey.

2 things I can always rely on Xavier for are highly entertaining comic book related content, and introducing me to kick ass new music used in said content. I also agree with Sean Chiplock not being the best choice to voice Spider-Man. Guy's a killer voice actor (I particularly love him as Shin in Dorohedoro) but the direction he was given for this role was far from reflective of his best traits in his respective profession. Maybe if they let him speak in a lower register it would've sounded more in line with what we would've expected. By the way, congrats on your marriage man.
