“We understand that the expectations for the Symbiote are really high and we wanted it to feel different than what you would normally see,” adds Intihar. It definitely has that aggression, that addictive elements to it that you can see changing personality. And so that’s something that lets you shift gears in Spider-Man combat… It’s something we didn’t have before that we could bring with the Symbiote,” says Smith. “The Symbiote punch is gonna really impact a single target stick them to walls, whereas the Symbiote strike launches a bunch of enemies up in the air. The difference between how Peter plays in his normal suit versus the Symbiote suit will be immediately noticeable and there will be gameplay abilities that weren’t available to players before that will be now. “What really powerful moves can we imagine? How can we imagine them working with the Symbiote tentacles, and really changing the gameplay feel.”
“I think for us the Symbiote in-gameplay is about power and transformation,” says director Ryan Smith. In the past, from other video games, the Symbiote suit has mostly been cosmetic, but Insomniac’s version of the suit comes with unique, aggressive abilities.
And most recently, we saw Peter fighting with the Symbiote suit on.
When Spider-Man 2 was announced, Peter and Miles Morales are seen fighting Venom. So Insomniac planted the seed at the end of the first game, with Harry Osborne covered in the Venom Symbiote. “I was surprised people didn’t get as mad as I thought they would, that it wasn’t in the first game,” Intihar laughs. The team believed the Symbiote suit needed its own game and Insomniac made the conscious decision to not include the suit in the first Spider-Man at all, and instead hold onto the concept for the sequel where it can could the spotlight to itself. And of course, as you’d probably imagine, the black suit - the Symbiote suit - came up and we kind of decided, are we gonna just give it as a visual thing, or are we actually gonna go bigger with it?” “When we were deep in production of Spider-Man 1, we talked about what suits we were gonna feature. According to Intihar, at the time of Spider-Man 1 development, the team was debating whether to include the suit or not. If you played Insomniac’s first Spider-Man game, you might have wondered why the Symbiote suit wasn’t one of the unlockable costumes in that game.
