In case you don't know what I mean:

Nearly all open world game developers deliberately scale down and heavily compress real-world architecture to prioritize fun gameplay over realistic geometry.

So, in Spider-Man 2, buildings aren't accurately as​ big as they are in real life to make the ​player feel​ like spiderman, I think its called spatial compression.

In real life, Manhattan streets and avenues are incredibly wide, and skyscrapers are unimaginably massive. If Insomniac used a true 1:1 scale, the avenues would be so wide that Spider-Man’s web lines wouldn’t be able to reach across the street diagonally. But that could be fixed with longer webs, and tweaking the swinging physics a little more​, but still making it feel real and enjoying. They do this to basically keep you moving forward in a smooth, satisfying rhythm, Insomniac deliberately narrow the streets and group buildings closer together.

But what if they didn't, what if new York felt like how​ it truly is​, what if you ACTUALLY felt small, what if buildings gave​ you the sense of megalophobia, would you prefer that more than what we have now?​

We already know that there is a good chance that Cletus Kasady, also known as Carnage, will be one of the enemies in the next game.

I also think that Carnage might be the main villain instead of the Green Goblin, as many people believe.

In the comics, Carnage is so dangerous and powerful that Spider-Man and Venom eventually have to team up to fight him together.

Although Venom was killed at the end of *Marvel’s Spider-Man 2*, we know, or can at least assume, that Oscorp has several Venom symbiotes. After all, Cletus Kasady stole a piece of the symbiote.

It was also shown that the symbiote develops a kind of consciousness with its host. For example, this could help explain how Peter Parker became Anti-Venom after being affected by Mister Negative. Therefore, it is possible that Harry might still have a small piece of the symbiote inside him.

I recently worked with TEMPO, a talented Marvel's Spider-Man 2 virtual photographer whose cinematic photography and eye for composition have earned recognition from Insomniac Games, to create an editorial about in-game photography for my digital arts publication, Export Magazine.

We featured his work in our latest collection, and he also created some beautiful desktop and mobile wallpapers for everyone to enjoy.

I'm sharing a few pages from the editorial here because I thought this community might appreciate his work.

We're also always looking to show Spider-Man 2 virtual photographers, so consider this an open invitation to share your own photography with us.

Thanks, everyone!

The scene of Spider-Man getting the black suit but in the Raimi verse.

I finish it.
Had lot of fun. I completed everything along with the story. Progression wise fine, pacing was okay. Story was good, a bit nonsensical in parts but overall it was good(Deffo not as good the first one, which I replayed on NG+ before getting SM2).
Traversal gameplay, top-tier. 0 assist swinging ofc. Amazing map(not enough collectables IMO).
Now I'm finished, young Miles is the only SM in NY, at least for now.
Pete's on sabatical. Feels good.
Can't wait for Goblin, Silk and here's hoping maybe Superior spider-man(the freaking GOAT) in the next game.
AmA.

I bought this game in a steam sale recently, is it hard to run? For now I only have an old laptop that runs geometry dash at 20 fps. I intend to play this game on the first real pc I build, is it hard to run?

Which ones do you thinks best I’m still learning on some photo stuff.

Scott Cleverson(8'5/10)

He ıs the ıdeal Carnage. High-pitch, crazy and unstable. What makes him stopping from beign the best one ıs, he sometimes does not sound naturall at all.

Like ın this scene

https://youtu.be/OAb6v7ddA6U?t=23

U really can tell he ıs making a voice sometimes.

Late Michael Donovan(10/10)

Basically same as Scott, but every ıssue ı have with him ıs removed.

Did you heard ıs laugh? Bone chilling. This ıs the most creepy Carnage laugh ıs out there.

https://youtu.be/S_HansLnm3A?t=166

https://youtu.be/_Cm34nWuGoo?t=393

He ıs the best Carnage ın this list.

Fly High, Michael Donovon. May God Bless Your Soul.

Dee Bradley Baker(9/10)

He started out Perfectly ın PS1. But as years went on, he kinda fell off.

His performance ın Marvel Heroes left a lot to be desired.

https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/Marvel-Heroes/Carnage/

Fred Tatasciore(4/10)

Unspoken rule, Carnage MUST have high-pitch voice. It ıs Venom that must have low-pitch voice.

Sean Schemmel(7'5/10)

What do you know, Goku can act. Let alone beign a solid Carnage.

David Sobolov(2/10)

Not only he ıs a worse ver of Fred's Carnage, whom was already awfull, Venom ın this game beign the high pitch one makes this far worse.

David Agranov(4/10)

Literally exact same voice as Fred's Carnage.

Peter Kelamis(9/10)

He ıs the only exception to the Anti-Deep Carnage rule, because his Carnage ıs not normal. He ıs spesifically voicing Absolute Carnage. Where Carnage ıs basically the final boss.

And let me tell you, he ıs outright horrfying. Especially when you realized this man ıs the OG Goku. Atleast Sean sounded like himself, ı could not even recognized Peter.

Woody Harrelson(1'5/10)

He ıs the deepest voice for Normal Carnage ın the list. Even worse ıs, his voice ıs just boring. Atleast others did something ınteresting with their voices.

Kellen Goff(9'5/10)

He ıs easly the second best Carnage voice ın this list. He did the "Monster Venom" thing for Carnage, where symbiote makes the host sound much more animalistic. He did perfectly. He ıs the ideal voice for Monster Carnage.

Bike riding, touring the science lab, the highschool sneak mission, all give me anxiety with how much if a chore they feel like playing.

*The action is virtually non existent

*I'm woke as fuck, but even the homoeroticism between Pete and Harry feels forced.

*At least MJ has a tooly 🔫 in this game, and I enjoy stealth mechanics.

*I don't care at all about Harry's back story, but that's just personal preference.

*The MJ missions always reveal interesting things about the current story, even in Spidey 1, like the expo at Grand Central with all green goblin easter eggs, and Normans grotesquely lavish apartment high rise.

I'm currently stalling on my currently play through cause I'm dreading this boring science facility tour.

Couple shots I took, but the 2nd and 3rd were the only ones I edited. Still cool!

Late Jim Ward(3/10)

His take sounds like Plankton.

Rest In Peace. May God Bless his soul.

Hank Azaria(8'5/10)

He ıs outright terrfying. I keep founding myslef replaying lines like "Even In Your Nightmares" over and over again.

Rod Wilson(7/10)

He ıs honestly preety solid for the material he ıs given. He ıs the one who popularized "We are Venom" line.

Brian Drummond(9/10)/(10/10)

He has 2 voice.

First one ıs high-pitch one. He ıs basically a better ver of Hank Azaria. He uses that voice for first episodes.

Second one ıs significantly more low-pitch. He uses that one ın ep 11, The only Venom centric Ep. And OMG, that voice ıs perfect for "Human Venom". Its significantly deeper, and you can hear the host. This ıs basically Venom's ver of Carnage voice, where host and symbiote ıs ın a perfect sync.

He also did comedic moments better. Like a lot better.

Darran Norris(9'5/10)

He ıs near perfect. He balanced out the goofy and monstry aspect perfectly.

My only ıssue ıs, game's goofy tone did affected his performance a bit much.

Jason Bryden(4/10)

He ıs outright painfull to listen.

Arthur Burghardt(10/10)

He ıs by far the most creepiest and scariest Venom in this list.

He sounds like an animal. Any human aspect Venom has ıs completly gone.

Steve Blumm(6'5/10)

His performance' range from "That ıs just Green Goblin" to "Is he even trying?" to "Meh".

I never liked him as Venom.

Topher Grace(2/10)

Atleast he tried. Unlike Toby.

Quinton Flynn(7/10)

He sounds like a better ver of Steve Blum. Which ıs not much.

Benjamin Diskin(10/10)

He did multiple voice like Steve.

Unlike Steve, ı cant tell all of them was him.

His voice ın Spectacular Spider-man ıs preety good. You already know that voice

His voice ın Spiderman Unlimited ıs just near perfect. That voice ıs make me wish he was the one who voiced him ın Marvel Rivals.

https://youtu.be/KGzJvV4F4rU?t=119

His voice ın IOS ıs basically a far better ver of Steve's Marvel Rivals voice.

https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/video-games/The-Amazing-Spider-Man-2-IOS/Venom/

Keith Szrabajka(7'5/10)

He sounds like a more typical ver of Darran Norris' take. By that, ı mean more of a boring monster type.

John Kasser/Chpper Bernet(8/10)

There ıs some unnatural feeling to his take. Also their take ıs Venom ıs Mac. So you can justfy them sounding a bit off.

Troy Baker(8/10)

Did not knew that was him. He did a preety good job. Again, a better ver of Steve's Marvel Rival voice.

Travis Wilingham(3/10)

He did not even tried. That ıs just Knuckles

Matt Lanter (8/10)

He sounds far better ın Disney Infınıty than he did ın Ultimate Spiderman.

I could not even tell that was him.

https://youtu.be/2m9SuxAyZbA

Roger Craig Smith(4'5/10)

That ıs just Sonic. But atleast he tried to cahange his voice.

Neil Kaplan(8/10)

Same as Troy Baker.

Danny Trejo(4/10)

This ıs just a boring Voice.

David Boat(5/10)

A worse ver of Steve' Marvel Rivals Venom.

Dee Bradley Baker(5/10)

All ı can hear ıs Carnage.

https://youtu.be/onhDbQEkURg

Brian Stivale(6/10)

A bit boring. But ıt ıs passeble.

Ben Pronsky(5/10)

Voice direction screwed him over. He sounds like he ıs suffering from Taco Night.

Andrew Morgado(5/10)

This voice would been better for Carnage.

Tom Hardy and Late Brad Venable(5/10)

Tom ıs basically a boring ver of Darran Norris.

He sounded better when Late Brad Venable helped his voice. Tom's performance went downhill when Brad passed away.

Rest In Peace.

Darin De Paül(9/10)

He ıs basically a edgier ver of Darran Norris. My main issue ıs, he ıs sometimes hard to understnad.

Late Tony Todd(10/10)

He ıs so creepy, ı love ıt! My only ıssue ıs, writing and voice direction screwed him over.

He sounds far better ın Stern Pinball. Edgier ver of Darran Norris. I wish that was what he sounded like ın the actuall game.

https://www.youtube.com/live/1wFwnPj-beg?t=412

Fly high, Tony Todd. Rest In Peace.

Loved the game and story.

I am feeling a bit sad that it's over now, it's been quite sometime since I enjoyed a game this much.

Anyone felt the same?
