19-inches of Venom. He said the thing. That’s a true fan of character right there.
Ayo? 🤨📸
Pray tell, what did he mean by that
@@RohanKumar-ci9sl Well he meant the statue but in reality he is referring to venom's balls
@@Keiwa_Sakurainot Balls
@@Some_guy-on-the-internet well his D 😉
The character design, especially the bigger lizard and venom, the story setup and the sheer attachment it creates with the characters, a beauty of a game.
Indeed, I wished there were more characters tho, but its a very good story nonetheless.
@@AndreySpidey i think it was the perfect amount of characters. Perfectly setting up Yuri and carnage and how their relationship will go on in the later game, Connors, the Lizard and what happened between his family, Norman, Harry and more. All of it was was handled phenomenally and is now my favourite game of all time.
They need a new designer for the outfits and suits ngl
i thought Kraven's design was great as well
@@mrr_corleonethe suits were fine design wise. The coloring was terrible and some variations were better than the actual base suit.
HE KNOWS THE 19-INCHES VENOM
The story of Spider-Man 2 was so good, especially the Peter/Harry dynamic which was the heart of the game’s story
I thought the story was the weakest element but the presentation of it was stunning. The game is incredible but I'd like to see more fights in the open-world which aren't nailed to a rooftop or alley.
What other landscapes are in newyork?@@johnnydi2203
Respectfully, MJ was annoying. Put him with Felicia or Gwen
@@johnnydi2203facts dude like it was a missed opportunity for them not having Miles fight Peter throughout the city. I was expecting boss fights across the city after Sandman and following the hunter drones
@_MRB_ Respectfully, this made me laugh 🤣
It's my dream to become a creative director at a game studio but I've always been demotivated when I attempt code writing, art drawing and modelling. Hearing Brian's journey is super inspiring. Well done man
That's a big dream boy :). Hopefully u will do it !
Rooting for you!
Shia LaBeouf:dont let your dreams be dreams JUST DO IT MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE JUST DO IT
Good luck bro! Don't forget us!
Good luck, dude! Don't forget to come back and tell us when you make it! 😬
I just got the platinum. Someone give this guy a round of applause because the game is unbelievably good
I’m a little mad *SPOILERS BELOW*…
That they wanted till the end (last act) to introduce Venom. I was saying to myself, “Really?” Because you really only have a handful of story missions left: I wanted to spend a substantial about of time with him as Pete and Miles 🫤
@@RedMisfitshu up please
@@RedMisfityeah they could’ve extended the last act or the mid to end of the second act easily
@@Dudejustworkdid he force you to click? No? Go cry in a corner then
@@Dudejustworkhow about you shut up instead stop shutting my down criticisms
IF they should choose to make a Venom spin-off I hope they go with Eddie Brock, but for this story using Harry was an excellent decision. Really pulled on my heartstrings towards the end.
My ideal Venom spin-off would have Flash Thompson as Agent Venom with the Anti Venom symbiote and Eddie Brock as the hulking Venom with a surviving but weakened og symbiote. And it would take place in San Francisco.
might be waiting quite a while with that one boys
You know not everyone has gotten that far in the game yet or has figured that out yet. But hey, that's ok just go ahead and spoil that for everyone there buddy!
@@bizzleblue38 Harry as Venom was cartain if you've played the 1st one till the end credits
@@bizzleblue38there’s no way you didn’t know by now that Harry would be Venom. It’s been teased since the 2018 game, and all the story trailers leading up 💀💀
If you really don’t want spoilers then play the game and stay off videos like this, especially the comment sections where you know people have already beaten it and are gonna be talking about it.
He knows the 19-inches joke LMFAOOOO
😭😭😭
W brayn
I love this guy. You can tell he’s so passionate his job and the character and world of Spider-Man. These games are my favorite Spider-Man media out there and just might be the best representation of the character. Thanks Brian!

@@levanceland bout to upgrade to the deluxe with the check
I just find it hard to believe how the avengers haven't shown up yet in these massive events
That thought crossed my mind multiple times
Maybe it's just an easter egg
I didn’t really think about that in the first game, but you’d think the events of the second game would make them come out
Because it's not an avengers game but a Spider-Man game,
They might tease them at the end of the third game to expand the universe... But I think that might be a Sony issue to get the license for all those characters.
@@tateandrew4644 If you played Spider-Man 2 their is a Big tease of a certain character who exists in that world and is referenced but doesn't Show up
I cried seeing the first interaction with Pete and Harry. I have been waiting for a proper friendship moment between those 2 for a long time. At the end, I didn't even want to fight Harry. Also the moment where peter just sits with grandpa Earl on the side missions really brings out who spider man is, and who peter is. Just that breif moment was so beautiful, because spiderman is not a symbol of vengeance, but he is a symbol of hope and friendship.
I like the whole "awkward friends" dynamic they had in many other iterations.
But man is it awesome seeing the two act like genuine life long bros. There's something so heartwarming about it after seeing many other iterations make the two characters rather awkward due to how different their lives and background are.
Having another Howard side mission was a good addition, too. Especially with the small nuances of Miles' reaction vs. Peter's history with him in the dialogue was also really cool.
Well, Howard's mission was cool until it was really sad
I’m glad I played as Peter for that mission. The history between them, and Peter’s genuine care for Howard after all the years of helping him and his pigeons was enough to make me tear up when it was over.
wait you can play as miles in that mission? they should of made it a peter exclusive
Yeah
I'm glad I kept that for the final mission. When you swing with the pigeons around and then the background song kicks off, it just unexplainably make you feel joy. And it's definitely needed after quite the heavy main story (until the end of the mission of course..)
That was so beautiful
Obviously this is a man who loves his job so much.
who wouldn’t? he has the dream job or any marvel geek
11:54 What a heartwarming answer, Bryan. Kudos to you and the entire Insomniac Games team
Till you find out what he said about MJ missions to fans complaining about it.
Nowhere is that "heartwarming".
I love his response to the last question. Video games helped me through a really rough time in my life. Thank god for great games to help us escape.
5:11 OMG IM IN THE VIDEO!!!!! THANK U BRIAN FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTION!!
That’s not you lie fool
Bryan Intihar seems like such a genuine and down to earth guy, love that he’s in the role that he is. This guy really cares. Kudos brother
More like this please, love the behind the scenes stuff
I used to listen to Bryan way back on the 1up podcasts and now he's making these incredible games. You've come a long way, Bryan!!
Your team has set the bar REALLLY high, the game is incredible. Thank You 🙏🏻
I've already finished the game, it's a great sequel, 10/10
Yes its the perfect amount of time to 100% it imo. Not too long and not too short
ALOT of people have it's mainly cutscenes and short fights lol
I got Plat within 2 days
@@fofecoggames you definitely lying post it or it's cap
@@ohfire2565he’s not lying my friend is super cocky and he also platinumed it in 2 days and posted it on his story however I’m still not even finished and taking my time
This was the best Spiderman game and best depictions of it's characters. To see actual murder and killing, plus accurate sizing of the characters is awesome! I hope to see Carnage as a main villain, with a team up with Spiderman and Venom to defeat an overpowered Carnage. Then expand to include Knull!
probably wont happen, would be cool though
@@darkluck4510well if you played one of the side missions it actually has good chance of something like that happening
@@darkluck4510Spider-Man and Venom have teamed up multiple times to defeat Carnage and are actually on good terms now in comics.
Carnage is def gonna be dlc because it’s related to spider-man 2 and could easily be an expansion of spider-man 2
the flame side mission already confirmed carnage is coming. I think the dlc's will focus around him
Spider-Man 2 is some of the best content I have ever witnessed in my life. As a die-hard Spider-Man fan, this game checked all the boxes for what makes a great Spider-Man game and story. Insomniac NAILED the Symbiote Spider-Man portrayal and made Kraven and Venom some of the greatest versions of Spider-Man villains in any medium. There were plenty of surprises, and I can't wait to see what comes next for the Spider-Man franchise!
idk man, kind of fell flat for me. Seems like you’re a major fanboy
@@themanstan0785what’s wrong with that
@@thwipmedia616 like you’re ignoring clear and obvious flaws with the game because of the fanboyism
@@themanstan0785 ok? or people could enjoy things that they like and have their own opinions...
This man is a treasure and needs to be head of creative for all Marvel Games IMO. Thank you for giving us these masterpieces of a game.
You did a great job, the entire staff needs a raise 🙌🙌🙌
Bryan seems like such a genuinely good and passionate guy, both about games in general and very much about Spider-Man. I’m the biggest Spider-Man fan that I know, and I could not be happier that he’s the one overlooking this version of Spider-Man
Thank you Bryan, thank you so much for being a part of giving us these incredible games!! You guys are the best in the business, by far.
I love how the 19 inches of venom meme is just a running joke now its great
That last question and response was so deep, I am glad to have someone like him directing Spider-Man 2.
Ahh it all makes sense now... He used to be a game journalist...
I'm starting to see my people 🥹, always hated this guy.
@@zionharris9432Why(out of curiosity)
Something I havnt seen much talk about is how much the impressive haptic feedback of the ps5 controller adds to the swinging and just in general.
I went back to MM and couldn’t figure out why the swinging felt so different and less impressive until it dawned on me. The controllers features being fully utilized in 2 adds so much.
They really doubling down on the “19 inches of Venom” thing 😭😭
honestly this made me way more excited for the future than i already was, spiderman 2 was phenomenal and now i’m even more impatient for wolverine and (i assume) miles morales 2
I’m so glad he mentioned accessibility! As a blind gamer, I had no problem playing Spiderman 2.
With my lack of hands, I swung through the city with finesse, flying made it WAYYYYY easier.
This guy is my hero, thank you for the love and passion you put to the characters and the story Bryan, you guys are really doing something special! ❤️
11:10 "if you like villain you will be rewarded" *proceeds to let Kraven kill all villains*
Just wanna give a big thank you to the entire team at INSOMNIAC. You guys really delivered the definitive Spidey experience. ❤🙏
Paid comment.
Ayy, what a nice man that has made a wonderful game. I liked what he said at the end. W Director.
Bryan is truly for the people. Nothing but respect ✊🏽
Except for Hispanics. They made sure to make the Spanish gender neutral.
I bow to him and everyone at Insomniac. They made Venom truly scary in this game.
I just want DLC already. Insomniac is just a team of absolute superstars. Bryan is a legend.
The symbiote abilities are so satisfying to use.
What an awesome dude. One of the best wired guests yet! I’m not a superhero gamer but listening to Brian Intihar speak and answer honestly and with passion I just bought Insomniacs SpiderMan trilogy.
I just knew when someone talked about Venom's design, that 19 inches was gonna be referenced.
The ONLY gripe I have is that it's not long enough, I wanted so much more content, already finished it twice while taking my time 😂 I love it, just want more
It just barely came out!
Second question and second response is perfect. Motivating for me because I’m not sure what I want to completely do yet. Whether it be making a film, or producing a game, or starting a business.
11:57 He sounded so much like Peter Parker 🥹
He works really hard 🤝🏿 salute well deserved congrats on the Game
they need to fix the symbiote abilities to have a black color like the black suit and not just white color for anti venom(and as a parry switch the symbiote with the tech arms)
yeah i just want it as a cosmetic option
Classic symbiote suit makes it black
@@EpicMinecraftFailnot the abilities, just webs every black suit still has white anti venom abilities
@@EpicMinecraftFail play the game no it doesn’t
You’re amazing Bryan. Thanks for helping create this awesome masterpiece of a game for us.
It’s so interesting to learn this stuff
You guys did an amazing job on the game loved every second symbiote spider man is one my favourite stories. Since I already had a ps5 I only got the controller but it’s awesome with the game but it’s awesome 😁
I get the sense that Sony had a lot of pull with the suits because the number of movie suits having their own slots without palette swaps (Raimi suits could have just been palette swaps, as could the MCU suits). Really limited the number of returning suits and potential new ones like the Ben Reilly, Blood Spider, Captain Universe, and Unlimited suits.
first question is such a banger I always love knowing stuff like that
I love this guy ! ❤️ thank you for this awesome journey
Bro I love Venom!! This game was fantastic! Nice plot twists btw 😂
This guy is an absolute legend! Hope we get an expansion for Spider-Man 2!
Bryan Intihar is the goat him and his team at insomniac really take the time to listen to the fans and see what kind of things they want in the game. Not a lot of game developers do that.
Loved that we got side missions this time around that are actually relevant by introducing new villains, problem that they are all left on cliffhangers, I just hope we get some conclusion to those storylines in future DLC expansions instead of having to wait much more until the next game.
Love seeing people in the gaming industry take the spotlight more in pop culture. To accomplish a like Spiderman 2, you must have to be a genius!
bryan's the best director man hands down
I don’t know if this will make it to the team but if so THANK YOU. I appreciate you providing this type of experience for a second time. Games like this & God of War are why I purchased this system.
Now that he mentions it, I am so glad that suit styles are accessed through the suit's main colourway as opposed to being offered in different suit slots. Thank you for not pretending they're different in any way past colour.
Also: Give players a post-story black symbiote powers(?) Anti-Venom clashes with the black suit.
Venom should’ve been in the game longer. Although the story was really good I feel like we didn’t get enough missions
I felt like symbiote spiderman wasn’t in the game long enough. I felt like it was only 3 or 4 missions with the suit. I wanted to see more bully lowenthal cuz that was easily the best part of the game
It’s basically the same as the previous game, Martin li was the majority of the villain and then it turned to doc ock
the game overall felt pretty short
I feel like he's going to get a spin off like Miles did
I feel like the division between Plot A and Plot B, while having to share equal screentime with both Spider-Men resulted in Venom being solely the Act 3 villain. Act 3 is usually the shortest Act in a story.
The only issue i really had with spiderman 2 was that Miles hardly interacted with Harry. Could have replaced any of those stealth sections with the spider bot and MJ and had Miles have mission with Harry. I didn't mind them just wish the two interacted more
The best feeling looking and playing spider man game ever. So stoked. I beat it platinum and need a new game plus asap as well as DLC can’t wait for updates and news
By far my favorite Wired video, he killed it
Such a brilliant man right here. Spider-Man 2 is quite frankly the best Spider-Man game of all time. Thank you for dedicating many many years to your craft and everyone else that has blessed these games.
I just platinumed the game and have platinumed the first two games too. Really such a fun series and can't wait for more.
I really hope they continue adding more traversal elements throughout these new games
Thanks for the valuable insights brian intihar... It will really help many aspiring Game developers like me... Lots of love... Keep on rocking ❤🔥✌🏻
The game is really good! Please release an update bringing new game plus into the game and also the ability to change night and day after finishing the game.. Also please make missions and events replayable
nah fr, got platinum like 3 days in now there’s nun to do😂
I've beaten the game twice, 100% on both, and I gotta say; the game is insanely beautiful. The team at Insomniac knows their stuff. Cant wait for New Game Plus 😁
Very good video. Thank you for making it
Thank you for this incredible gem
I hope in the DLC we get more across the spider verse suits aka the Spider-Man 2099 suit with its added physique like miles across the spider verse suit made him taller lol. Also I know we keep the anti venom power but why can’t we have the black symbiote power when using the symbiote suit?
They really push the game to it's limits, Game of the Year For Sure, Respect To Bryan Intihar for answering questions at Wired!
Wow, I didn’t know he was the director. I remember when he was working. At 1up, I love it when passion for something shines through
The traversal speed is insane compared to the first, going back and playing that feels so slow but it’s still a great game
Started out as a journalist...
*That explains a LOT.*
Is this you admitting to being a pathetic, bigoted snowflake?
@@SilverEye91He's a gaming Karen who constantly cries about his "woke" panic
@@victory7763and u r a woke iddiot who's always triggered of opinion which actually makes sense.
One thing I didnt like ( or rather dont make sense ) is why the symbiote suit is treated like any other skin, rather than a powerup.
And the fact that Symbiote Spiderman isnt hostile to pedestrians, felt like a missed opportunity to me.
Its treated as any other costume, when its more than that.
I mean they literally give you a new set of powers because of the symbiote, they let you switch it out and still have the powers because its a game.
Web of shadows did this better
@@I3roseph its not just about the powers when it comes to the Symbiote suit. Its about the entire personality.
@@Mr.Coffee576 I agree that it would've been nice to further expand the symbiote and venom (third act felt very rushed) but its also like the big reason harry goes bad is because of the way peter acts with the suit, and they have a mission as MJ where hes no longer acting human because the suit is corrupting him.
I just feel that your criticisms are so general and at least on the surface addressed by the game already so it feels like you didn't play it or at least pay attention.
@@I3roseph Im not talking about symbiote personality within the story. I"m talking about free roam gameplay when you select the symbiote skin.
Like being hostile to pedestrians. Or talking about how New York is noisy, because symbiote hates noise.
Or going too far agaisnt random criminals. And being cocky and arrogant about how NY would be nothing without him.
Little details like these can help make a player feel that the symbiote is alive, rather that just treat it as another skin, which we know its not.
That mission when you encounter more of kravens hunts, gives me nostalgia for some reason, the vibe of the mission is dope, the missions are fun af, I imagined spidey classic games like spiderman 2018, and spm2 ps5 when I was younger it was back when I played web of shadows 🔥🔥🔥
Love how transparent he is… mentioning Nintendo numerous of times crediting his roots despite the fact that the game is a PS5 exclusive. What a master piece of a game
My only request for this game would be way to change the time of day post-campaign
I have been enjoying the mission playthroughs by @theradbrad and the creativity and storytelling in the game is awesome! I love how Peter's and Miles's stories are both just as important as their masked alter egos. The side missions are just as cool and interesting as the main plot missions. It really is a joy, so thank you to the entire creative team for the game!
The rad brad is awesome!
I love Spider-Man and so having Lizard and Venom and Kraven throughout the main story was so great and fun, all the stuff with Harry and Peter was also awesome (and sad). But some of my favourite parts of the game weren't to do with any of that, doing the Howard mission with Peter almost made me cry, the cultural museum mission with Miles was so amazing. Playing as Hailey and connecting with the graffiti artist or finding the old man and listening to him tell the story of him and his wife - it waa so nice seeing a different side of the city and doing things that weren't just fighting bad guys or super villains. It was a reminder of *why* the spidermen do what they do, and *who* they do it for
👏👏👏you guys/ladies did a great job on the game!!! Congratulations!!!
things I would like to see in Spider-Man 3:
1. I liked how you added visible rooms and npcs inside scyscraper windows it would be cool if you could randomly initiate different animations where they get freaked out by Spider-Man crawling on the window or get excited and take a selfie with him lol.
2. While we swinging it would be cool if you made a lot more of the bridges and different openings where you can zip line through the small opening. Going across the big bridges there are so many places it would have been cool to web zip through.
3. You really should have more varying swing and take down and combat animations. Animations repeat too much.
4. When trying to web swing climb up a skyscraper it would be nice if there was an ability where if you let the swing hold until the momentum starts to go vertical Spider-Man can like wind up and have a jump boost slingshot vertically up, sort of like he does in the movies.
5. Run on the wall and on the ground while still holding the web line
Bro just dropped his fuckin wishlist and dipped
@@krudvr2837 they listen to the fans lol so if I can get people agreeing and talking about it then maybe it’ll happen. But no I watched the video. I’m watching another video too now with one of the technical directors talking about development. Super interesting
these are all great. hope they're added
I wish this game was longer. I platinumed it within 2 days.
loved this. need a same interview for the batman arkham games
Love you Bryan thank you!
This man and his team delivered us a MASTERPIECE
They need to make an option to change the color of the tendrils according to the symbiote suit you have on ASAP. Huge immersion breaker for late game gameplay
I think the late game is pretty boring. You have no bases, not really that many different crimes, the white venom even with the black suit. Once you 100% the game, you can’t repeat anything. No bases, no missions, what shall I do??
@@dominikheld3330Play one of the other great games that came out this year?
Really really liked how Spider-Mans suit started to look more like the venom suit after wearing it and being corrupted with it for awhile. Such a cool detail. Only critique I have of the game, is that there could have been more to do out in the world like the first game had. More side quests and side villains. Maybe cooler abilities for regular Peter too, the arms didn't do it for me. Loved overall though. Really hoping we get another dlc story like city never sleeps.
You guys made a masterpiece ❤
I wish Insomniac could make a Jak & Daxter game, I still hate Naughty Dog for abandoning one of their great IPs and focusing on TLoU as well as doing a lot of cashgrabs, imo I think Insomniac could make a great Jak & Daxter game since they made so many Ratchet & Clank games in the past, and the fact that Insomniac is very experienced in directing, making music & sounds, make the game fun as possible and so on, makes me think that Insomniac deserves to have the Jak & Daxter IP. To this day I still hope for a new Jak & Daxter!
yeah, even they made models for jax and daxter in rachet and clank rift apart easter eggs
I wanted to thank Insomniac in person for this one, I wanted them to know how loved this game already is.
I don’t know how people still say it’s repetitive or more of the same, that really get into my nerves.
This is not just game of the year, it’s game of the generation. Thank you for making this game real, my inner child has never been so happy and alive. And my adult self too
I'm sorry but Spider-Man 1 hasn't been topped.
Y’all crafted a masterpiece 👌🏾
The last question got so real that I love it sm 😭
Spider-man 2 was Amazing! I'm really hoping that Wolverine is going to be m rated it needs to be gory as possible to feel like you Are truly the Wolverine
