Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 10 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn’t Tell You

9. Avoid Crimes When Listening To Podcasts

One of the highlights of the first Marvel's Spider-Man as well as Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales were the podcasts. Whether it was Just the Facts with J. Jonah Jameson or the Danikacast, these bits of dialogue were humorous, informative story moments that added further context to each game's story.

Both JJ and Danika return in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 - the former now reinstated in his role as the Editor in Chief of the Daily Bugle - but unlike those games where you could access these podcast episodes in the event they were interrupted by a crime or story event, you actually can't catch up on them here.

It's a bit of a frustrating foible with the game, and it means that, if you don't want to miss out on a podcast, your best bet is to hang tight and let it play out.

It's far from an ideal solution, but unless Insomniac revisits the idea of being able to listen to the in-game podcasts from the menu, then it's better to exercise caution.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
