Insomniac's Spider-Man

That sounds like business than anything else, but I digress

I don't recall the Arkham putting so much emphasis on combat.

I'd say the Arkham games are half combat, half stealth. Or, in Knight's case, a third combat, a third stealth, and a third shooty-shooty bang-bang car chasing.

Arkham put A LOT of its emphasis on combat. Freeflow was everything in those games, and Predator was second.

Spider-Man has shown off combat and stealth but it’s main focus is clearly traversal.

Predator, as in that PS 2 game back in the day? Had no idea it was that good.

No, they're referring to the stealth sections of the Arkham games which are officially called Predator stealth.

I wouldn't really compare Keaton to Conroy, since while the latter does do some guest roles (John Grayson, Thomas Wayne, the Phantom Stranger, etc.), he still gets cast as Batman on other projects, while Keaton hasn't voiced Spidey in years.

Granted, I'm not actually upset about it, since while I do miss his Spider-Man, and I do think Marvel in general doesn't show The Spectacular Spider-Man (or any cartoons from the past) the respect it deserves like DC does with B:TAS, I do like that they keep putting him in related roles in newer Spider-Man projects. His voice acting career has also blown up A LOT since Spectacular, so I get to hear him in tons of other cartoons and games.

Now, depriving us of Steve Blum's delicious Goblin voice is the REAL crime here, and deserves far more outrage and protest.

But Steve Blum already has Wolverine, he doesn't need to be the most popular voice of another Marvel character.

Bring back Tutorial Guy

Well I feel stupid.

Who's said he was the equivalent to Conroy?

I think we see him fighting Fisk in the old costume in one clip.

Seemed like it. And I'm assuming that Stormin' Norman is the guy who hired Sable.

So that makes the antagonists Mr. Negative, Kingpin, Shocker, Electro, Rhino, Scorpion, Vulture, and Silver Sable so far?

News from SDCC mentioning grave dust also strongly hints at Tombstone.

Whelp, time to brush on Spidey's lore again.

What the hell is a gravedust?

It’s a street drug that is turning people grey and hardening their skin. It may have been created for the game? It’s in an article in the official website’s latest edition of the Daily Bugle.

Going by its effects (gray paleness and hardened skin) plus the name of gravedust, I'm guessing it's something directly related to Tombstone (you know, the spidey villain with gray/white skin and hardened skin who usually gains his superpowers via odd chemical processes)

It could alternatively be a vague distant counterpart to MGH (Mutant Growth Hormone) the go-to "mass-produced drug that gives people some superpowers at a incredibly terrible cost".

Looks like this will be the third adaptation to make Silver Sable a villain.

It would be TOO cool if they added in a Black Cat, Prowler, Miles Morales, Spider-Ham and Venom as dlc. They don't need to have their own unique story just their own combat/play style, weapons/gadgets and finishers as a test run for future installments. I can already see Venom suffocating and eating mooks brains (probably off camera anyway).

Sable is normally antagonistic anyway. She is a Mercenary.

Yeah but she's usually hunting war criminals. She isn't just any mercenary.

Yes but she is frequently an enemy of Spiderman due to her being a mercenary. She has worked with him in the comics, but she opposes him a lot too. Every single animated adaption has had her as a villain as well.

Not that frequent an enemy actually. Only a few times in her early appearances at most. Yeah I know she's been a villain in the shows but she isn't a villain in the comics.

But she has been is my point.

Okay, before I respond to that do you mean she's been a villain in the shows or a villain in the comics?

Both, really, but you're correct in that she's sometimes played as anti-hero or even a potential love interest for Spidey (What If Spidey Got Married to the Black Cat? and the Ends of the Earth, irrc).

Anyways, thoughts on the "Velocity Suit"?
