Fixing Crimes in Spider-Man 2

Not having jetski or boat chase crimes like in the lizard mission was kind of a missed opportunity, wouldve spiced things up a little.

Heres my ideas 1.Saving people from burning building 2.Helicopter chase 3. Some mf hijack a bus 4. Literally saving a kitten from a tree 5. Pizza delivery 6. Deadlock situations (like tasm 2 game) 7. having to chase a purse snatcher into the subway before he gets on a train and gets away 8. Criminal hideouts in subways, sewers, or abandoned buildings 9. Helping old lady cross the street 10. Retrieving kids balloon

There's another crime you missed: the yellow chest trap. Hunters put out a yellow chest and ambush you.

Ultimate Spider-Man had a rare crime where Shocker and Boomerang could be fought in the open world. It sucks no developer after that has tried to replicate supervillain activity in the open world. Seriously not every fight with a super villain needs to be a part of the bigger story.

It also sucks that the residential areas in the game seem to have no smaller-scale crimes like vandalism or breaking and entering. It would be hilarious for Spidey to tell some neighborhood kids off for spray painting something

I think it would be cool if there was a rare crime where one of Spider-Man's villains broke out of the Raft. Spider-Man would have to track them down, there'll be a boss fight with them, and then he'll send them back to the Raft.

This is something that i loved about Miles Morales' game and why i rank it above Spider Man 2018. All the side missions, feel like something spider man would help out with, finding lost toys, helping a crane worker, helping a building cleaner, helping a car out of the snow, and the crimes were even better, you could help an enemy in a rogue copter, finding enemys who are messing with a board. Plus the pacing in that game is so good.

I have an idea, a division from big crimes and small neighborhood activities. Spidey uses the police scanner for bigger crimes like shootouts and armored vehicles. While the neighborhood app is used for smaller events like in miles morales. For example, helping an a car stuck in ditch.

Random event that could occur while swinging is a civilian calling out to Spiderman to simply ask for a selfie

I like how, despite being a negative video, he doesn't rage or yell about how everything in the game is trash and he just focuses on one problem.

I’d like as you said lower crimes like purse snatching, but does anyone remember in the first game how random npcs from Fisks gang or corrupted students would jump you when you weren’t swinging? I’d love if that was implemented as somebody robbing a store/person and you have to chase them before they escape like the crimes where you had to stop them.

Was sorta mentioned here, but why not just have random races with the other Spider-Man? While swinging, your character will point out either Peter or Miles hanging around nearby, and if you perch next to them, you challenge them to a race to a certain point in the map. It's low stakes, but you can add it pretty much anywhere on the map and lets you interact with the other spidey outside of just crimes. Maybe during the story theres a rare event where you couldve challenged Harry to a race when he had the symbiote

love small channels like these great vid

I actually love a lot of these ideas for random crimes and events. Especially the balloon idea like imagine every time you return a balloon there’s a small cutscene where Spider-Man signs the balloon or draws something on it. And there could be a few different designs and words he could draw on there each encounter.

Lesser-villain subplots. Series of villain themed crimes that build to a one off boss fight with some wacky back-catalog villain.

Imagine Having to stop a Prison break at Rykers or Raft as a crime activity

I haven’t finished the video yet but here’s some ideas I have for random villain encounters that could pop up: Have various encounters with trapster that require you to use logical thinking skills in a fun way (like Riddler from the Arkham Games but less annoying) Have captain boomerang randomly appear robbing banks Have various fun chase sequences with big wheel that have him crashing into buildings, cars and almost running over civilians and you have to prevent him from causing too much damage before you catch up to him, and if you miss a few accidents you will have to help clean them up after you catch him. Have molten man burning buildings randomly throughout the game—as the in game story progresses have him burn bigger buildings and you have less time to save everybody. Have hydroman utilize the vast aquatic areas of New York, throwing boats and destroying bridges There’s so much potential and since there may be 3 spider people in the next game then we need bigger threats that would require a companion system. Spider-Man doesn’t need to help stop robbery but he might need help stopping hydroman

I know it's probably just an example, but finding howard's pigeons and bringing them back home isn't possible anymore, because howard died in this game, and peter set his pigeons free. As for the car chases: It'd be cool to see insomniac use the adaptive triggers on the dualsense controller, maybe to pull the tires out from under the car or something to make it stop

Be dope if we get a crime update and suit tech or new moves

Something I personally wish the games included is non-Spider-Man activities. Taking examples from my favourite games. GTA San Andreas would let you play basketball in a basketball court if you interacted with a ball. Yakuza games allowed the characters to go out and do Karaoke or play Shogi. San Andreas also had a dance floor that you could go to and dance. Some thing else I wish the developers added is multiple crimes happening at the same time with a time limit but you've mentioned that already. It'd be nice to see Spider-Men do non-Spider-Man stuff to pass the time when they're not saving the world and are just on patrol. Interacting with civillians would also be fun aside from a simple emote or a high five there could be more things to do with civilians like taking selfies with them. The game has two school buildings available to it I'm surprised they haven't had tiny events like stoping bullying or anything like that. Great video!
