Spider-Man 2 - 10 Essential Fan Demands It Must Include
10. Interiors That Aren't Just Warehouses
Sony Interactive Entertainment
Look, we get it - shady stuff goes down in warehouses. It's both a cliche and a reality of the criminal underworld (at least if fiction has taught us anything), and so it was unsurprising to see most of the optional hideouts in Spider-Man PS4 be in the various warehouses of NYC.
However, just because that is the case doesn't mean it has to be next time.
Back during the first trailer for Spider-Man, Insomniac showcased Peter jumping through a street cafe in what looks to be some sort of chase sequences. Granted there are technical limitations, but would it not be great to see more active interiors in the open world?
Make it so that Spidey can swing through the occasional building, or even go down into the sewers for some Lizard-based mission. Either way, just make sure the next game has more compelling interiors than the previous one.
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.
