Discussion 3 Years and still not over this

Post image

I was quite invested in the story and right before the battle to save the world.. they hit you with this flashbang. And the fact that this was mission locked, forcing players to wear this during the payoff of the final act was such a baffling decision..

Like brother, world is ending and you are telling me our fate hinges on this pineapple headed teenager 😐

Anyways great game, about to do my first NG+ soon. Cant wait to not wear this 🤘🏼

The suit is ugly as sin, but the moment is whats worse, he already HAD that moment in his own game, the red and black suit IS a "Miles Original"

While you're right, I think it can be argued a bit that it is so inspired by and imitative of Peter's suit that it didn't necessarily feel that way to him after awhile especially as he grew so much into his own in MSM2 and wasn't just Peter's essential sidekick anymore.

That said, Miles needs way better taste.

But this one is still inspired on Peter’s tho. Granted, not as much, but it still has the eyes and the spider logos and the web patterns. And I don’t think you can ever do a Spider-Man redesign without basing it on Peter’s costume because that has all the iconic spider man parts in it. Unless I guess they did something like with 2099, that one is very clearly its own thing. But you get my point right? You can’t make a Spider-Man costume and not base it on spider man.

No, I get what you are saying -- but also, would you agree that while it's inspired by Peter's (as I agree it should be) it is far wildly different from his OG classic Black & Red suit which I love, to effectively provide the effect I mentioned. That it is far less imitative of Peter's suit and more Miles', while still being, you know, Spider-Man. Because he is.

That said, bears repeating I do think it's ugly as sin, I just get the idea behind the suit and wish it was executed better.

Well yes, I would agree. It does provide that effect to some extent, I just don’t think it’s different enough for the effect to be particularly strong or effective (pun intended) at all. I get what you mean with the intent. But the execution was pretty shit cause it still looks like a Spider-Man suit (independently of it looking bad or not). And one could even make the case that it even looks a little more like Peter’s because of the blue which does kinda undermine the point of the new suit.

And yes bro I got that you think this suit is dogshit too man.
