The developers of hit PS5 exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 say Miles Morales is the “main” Spider-Man from now on, which has caused some fans to speculate about what Insomniac may do with the inevitable Spider-Man 3.

    Genuine question for the homies who have played Spider-Man 2: did they write Miles to be any more interesting? I liked Spider-Man 1 Peter’s dialogue and jokes, like, a lot. I enjoyed playing as Miles in his own game, but I thought the character was boring, just, so so boring. Especially in contrast to Spiderverse’s version of Miles. I haven’t bought 2 yet, is Miles more fun to listen to this time? Could I enjoy Spider-Man 3 as a full Miles game if I thought that the Spider-Man: Miles Morales game had a disappointing protagonist?

      I’m currently playing Spider man 2 and trying to explain it without spoilers is a bit tough.

      They done a decent job combining Peter and Miles story but their story isn’t the main one. Main one is Venom, second is Peter and then Miles.

      Miles isn’t per se more interesting within the game unfortunately. Still the same Miles that’s trying to learn from Peter. However Miles abilities are much more interesting in my opinion.

      I hope if and when Spider man 3 comes, the story will be more about Miles about his past and how he develops as Spider man.

      I really enjoy the character of miles he is just such a nice wholesome kid . I really enjoyed him in spiderman 2 but his story wasn’t that deep . With the end of spiderman 2 I don’t think there is much more they can do with Peter . So there is lots of room to expand on miles .

      I’m not finished with the game yet, but I’m a decent chunk into it.

      They have really focused on his development more. In a way they’re copying the normal Spiderman story (how to cope with balancing being a super hero versus having a regular life) but they’re changing it a little bit by having him deal with emotions and plot points from the Miles Morales spin-off. And he’s also balancing Pete who is going through the classic symbiote stuff.

      I’d consider him a more interesting Spider-Man than the last game, but his regular life development isn’t any more interesting. But I’m probably about half to 2/3 through the game so that could change.

    Being older I’ve really only known Parker as Spider-Man, don’t even think I’ve watched any animated with Morales yet. The Miles Morales game kinda felt like a Gen-Z Parker to me, in the way they updated to a younger character but almost all of his dialogue felt like it could come from Parker though of course their personal situation and known people are different. I was a bit hesitant on the change at first (harder to take change sometimes heh) but at about halfway through Miles Morales game now I feel quite satisfied with how the cutscenes and story have played out, he feels like a good successor to the hero. I’m sure many people have had similar reactions over the years, especially between gold-silver age comic choices. I’ve always known multiple Flash characters (once I started watching more animated shows) so this isn’t much different.

    Don’t care who the main character is in the game, both are fun to play.

    It is a game, if it keeps me interest. That’s good and that’s all that matters

    I already seen someone meltdown over this in discord and honestly why care so much? Its their spiderman story. I’m just waiting for a squad spiderverse game where you get to customize your spiderperson.

      Infamous was sucker punch, not insomniac. Insomniac made ratchet and clank as well as resistance fall of man.

    I haven’t played that one yet but he seemed like a more interesting character and the typical peter Parker is so boring and dated.

    Of course they are. Peter Parker is a straight white male, and that is not an acceptable protagonist in 2023. I could see the writing on the wall when the first game came out.
