6 Costumes I Want in the New Spider-Man Games
I am currently swinging my way through the new Spider-Man 2 video game on Playstation 5, having a grand old time fighting bad guys, thwipping webs and fighting Venoms. When I beat the game, I’ll do a round-up List of Six (maybe next week?), but today I wanted to touch upon a specific aspect of the game series: the costumes! I love alternate costumes, even if I don’t use them very often, and even after three games in this series, there are more I want to see.
I’m a sucker for maintaining story accurate costumes in these games. No matter how well these alternate costumes are incorporated into the animation and gameplay, I’m still usually wearing Peter or Miles’s game canon costume for the story missions. I can’t help myself. But I’ve loved having the alternate costume option since all the way back to the Spider-Man Playstation 1 games. Spidey has so many costumes, it’s a hoot to have them available. And I definitely indulge when it comes to side quests or mini-games, or just swinging around the city in new duds.
So when we get some DLC or even Spider-Man 3 or Spider-Man: Miles Morales 2, these are the costumes I still want to see in this game series.

The day is finally here! After waiting many years, after waiting all day this week, after waiting the hours of my work day, it’s finally time to play and enjoy Spider-Man 2! Granted, I’m posting this in the morning and won’t be able to play until I get out of work later…but still, let’s be happy!
Here’s the launch trailer. Looks great.
This game is gonna be a blast! The last game, and the Miles Morales spin-off, were amazing. And I’ve got a 3-day weekend ahead of me, so I plan to play all weekend long. Gonna swing and web to my heart’s content! I hope everyone else is having just as much fun.

6 Things I Want to See in Beyond the Spider-Verse
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out on digital download and whatever else people use to watch movies at home these days. It’s one of the best movies of the year, and a hugely awesome experience. I loved the movie, as if that was in question. And I’m very much looking forward to the announced sequel: Beyond the Spider-Verse.
Sadly, the plan to release Beyond the Spider-Verse next year probably isn’t going to happen. I thought they were making these two movies back-to-back, but I guess that’s not the case, and work has barely begun on the threequel. Oh well. I’m a patient man, and I’ll see it when I see it. I once did a list of what I wanted to see in Across the Spider-Verse, and some of it actually came true! So if I do this list of what I want to see in Beyond, maybe some of those will come true as well.
Join me after the jump for six things I hope to see in the threequel/trilogy conclusion. And feel free to share your own hopes and dreams in the comments below!

Another Comic-Con trailer we got last week was a story trailer for the upcoming Spider-Man 2 video game. This is going to be one heck of a game and I’m very excited to dive in. The first game and the Miles Morales games were perfect, and I have no doubt that this game will be great too.
And it all looks great! The story looks like a classic Peter in the black suit story, with all sorts of added elements. And Venom looks great. We still don’t know if we’ll get to play as Venom, but surely that will be an option, right? Even if it’s only temporary? We’ll find out.
Also, that bear-dressed Kraven henchman has to be Grizzly, right? He’s clearly more than just a standard goon. He seems to me to be Kraven’s lieutenant. And if Kraven’s lieutenant is gonna wear a prominent bear costume…he damn well better be name-checked as Grizzly! Again, we’ll find out.
Spider-Man 2 comes to Playstation 5 — which I do now own! — on Oct. 20.

Kraven The Hunter Knows Nothing
Welp, Sony continues to churn out these non-Spider-Man Spider-Man films. They didn’t learn their lesson with Morbius. They learned the wrong lessons with the successes of the Venom films. So let’s go with Kraven The Hunter. Because nothing will stop them!
Also, it’s a red band trailer, so go watch it on YouTube and the come back here to leave a comment. Don’t give YouTube all your good comments!
It’s just Morbius all over again. Seemingly ordinary fella gets some kind of magic animal injection, now he’s got similar powers. What are Kraven’s new animal senses if not just Morbius’s bat senses? And he can control animals now? So he’s not even comic book Kraven the Hunter? And that’s definitely now how comic book Rhino works.
How many failures does Sony need before they stop this?!
Anyway, I’ll definitely see it when it comes to theaters in October.
