Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Features 65 Suits, Symbiote Suit Can Be “Felt” via DualSense, Parry Feature Confirmed & More Gameplay Details

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Preload

If you don’t want to swing around the game with the traditional Spider-Man suit for Peter Parker or Miles Morales in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you don’t have to, as the game features a whopping 65 suits to use! Alongside this a ton of gameplay details have also surfaced online.

Thanks to various hands-on previews of the game now being shared by content creators worldwide, we have a ton of info for the upcoming Sony PS5 exclusive.

In terms of suits, it’s been mentioned that the symbiote suit is hypersensitive to sound, and this translates to it being “felt” by the player through the DualSense’s haptic feedback. Thankfully, the symbiote is alternative costume for Spidey, so this means you can use its powers even when using one of the other suits (if you somehow want the look of another suit but want the symbiote powers).

Another new addition to the game is being able to parry, which can be done by pressing L1 on the controller.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Gameplay Details From Previews:

  • ▪️30, 40, 60FPS modes, all with ray-tracing and 120Hz (VRR support)
  • ▪️Much more destructible interactivity with the environment
  • ▪️Over 65 spider suits to choose from (comics, films, original designs)
  • ▪️Some quests will be story specific to either Peter Parker or Miles Morales
  • ▪️Map nearly double in size compared to first game with Queens + Brooklyn
  • ▪️Points of interest represented by more immersive visual cues out in the open world that grab your attention
  • ▪️Peter’s mechanized Spider-Arms are available by default now (story reasons)
  • ▪️”Web Grabber” ability fires webs in all directions and grabs enemies and anything else to pull them in for a powerful AOE attack (sewer drain cover for example launch into the group like a missile)
  • ▪️Symbiote’s L3+R3 “Symbiote Surge” is a savage grab-and-slam special attack
  • ▪️Peter’s symbiote Black Suit is hypersensitive to sound, felt through the DualSense
  • ▪️On top of dodging, parrying attacks is now an option with L1
  • ▪️The game is darker themed, but there is “tons of humor and funny remarks” throughout

  • A special collab with EARTHGANG (feat. Benji) to bring you “Swing,” a new music track featured in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Listen to it first in our DDE trailer above!
  • A parry feature has been introduced.
  • Symbiote Surge, filled via landing successful attacks, it amplifies his damage output and abilities until the meter drains, encouraging players to unleash hell until it does.

  • Boss fights feels much more intimate and strategic than the boss fights of the previous entries.
  • Progression is shared between Peter and Miles. This way, neither will be left behind if you prefer to stick with one Spider-Man.
  • No shortage of side missions
  • Awe inspiring amount of traffic
  • “Spider-Man 2 is in the same ball-park as the first game in terms of overall play time,”
  • Gwen isn’t part of Insomniac’s Narrative.
  • Miles or Peter could join you during the open world crime fights.
  • You can Loop de Loop while diving and executing a swing – just don’t let go! You can also do a Corner Tether to make immediate quick turns.
  • Symbiote suit is an alternative suit, so the the symbiote abilities can be used with other suits.

Alongside the info dump, there’s new gameplay as well! Watch 13 minutes of it that features various parts of the game. We see the symbiote suit in action, as well as traversal elements, and even a boss fight too.

I have to admit, the game is looking insanely good so far. Fortunately for us, the wait is almost over, as Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 swings out on the PS5 this October 20.

Thanks, Shinobi, ResetEra. IGN

I love the wide variety of suits available and side missions, im glad the overall playtime is about the same length as the 1st Spiderman game.
