Naturally, I’ve played the game, too, and Manhattan is a lot of fun to swing around (there’s the occasional aerial assault drone from Kingpin’s Task Force trying to swat you out of the sky, but it’s still easier than getting across Midtown at rush hour).
Times have changed since then, but Spider-Man has always been who he is because of the person beneath the mask, and I appreciate that the developers recognized that you can’t tell a proper story with half a character. When I first pitched the idea of a teenage superhero who has to deal with problems in his personal life, people told me I was crazy. I’ll admit a lot of that is because I get to act opposite him… but there’s more to it than that! That level of characterization - for the good guys and the bad guys - is what makes Marvel stories so different.īut like I said in the video, I’m most excited about Peter Parker himself being in the game and having an important part to play. Kingpin and Kraven are treated as more than just adversaries for Spider-Man - they’re foils to his very philosophy, challenging everything he believes in. They’ve got Electro, Kingpin, Kraven, Black Cat, the Green Goblin… and I really enjoyed what they did with the characters who don’t appear in the movie. I love the story Beenox is delivering this time around, and the fact that it’s able to cover some of the same narrative and emotional ground as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 film, while still going in its own unique direction (meaning you can experience one without spoiling the other). I think there are certain timeless qualities to ol’ Spidey that have made him so enduringly popular, and I was happy to see those traits on display as I worked on my scenes for the game.
