Starting today, players have the opportunity to get acquainted with Spider-Man 2, but we can be sure that Insomniac Games has plans for further adventures. Jon Paquette suggested a surprising spin-off that would surely be warmly welcomed by many players.
The ending of Spider-Man 2 is very open, and the creators have the option to prepare a large, story expansion, an adventure similar to Spider-Man Miles Morales or even a full-fledged sequel. Jon Paquette, however, suggested that the developers may develop a completely different spin-off.
Insomniac Games’ senior narrative director spoke to Insider about the release of Spider-Man 2, and the developer mentioned that he wanted the debut adventure to provide players with “one of the best Venom stories.”
I want this to be one of the best Venom stories you’ve ever experienced. We’ll see what the reviewers say.
During the conversation, a representative of Insomniac Games suggested that Venom could receive his own story – currently, the creators are focusing on Spider-Man 2 and his adventure, but… the studio is waiting for the community’s opinions.
So, here’s what we do. We are focusing on “Spider-Man 2”, and what [next – note] [ed.] we do, we’ll wait to see how the fans react. We’re going to listen to the fans and ask ourselves, ‘Okay, what do the fans really want? We will talk about various things when we all have time to rest and vacation.
Jon Paquette added that in the case of Venom, the developers first checked all the comics and then… added the hero to their series. The studio did not want to create a “classic” version of the character, which, in my opinion, was presented in the game in an excellent way.
There’s such a rich universe there and there’s a lot of things that comics have done. We tried to take all of that into account and then forget about it and think about what would be best for our characters and our series.
I don’t want to go into details too far, but Venom has a very special place in the adventure of Spider-Man 2 and reading Jon Paquetta’s words, I have the impression that the developers made several decisions on purpose to be able to see what the players would think about such a spin-off
