Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 director, Bryan Intihar, has an answer for why the sequel\u2019s take on Venom isn\u2019t weak to fire like his comic book counterpart.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For reference, in the comics that inspired Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, Venom has a couple of distinct weaknesses like high-frequency sounds and fire.<\/p>\n

However, the gamers observed that in Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, the villain is completely invulnerable to fire. According to an IGN interview, this isn\u2019t a mistake but a deliberate design choice aimed to enhance gameplay.<\/p>\n

In his interview, the director of Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2, Bryan Intihar, explained that the \u201cFire doesn\u2019t harm the Symbiote and Venom in this game, did you notice that?\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally, there were about five different weaknesses of the Symbiote, and we were concerned about how to communicate all these different elements,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For those think that the Insomniac Games is covering up their error, there are audio and visual cues within Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 that confirm the design choice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were like, \u2018you know what, for our universe, we\u2019re just going to keep it to high-frequency sound,\u201d Intihar added. \u201cSomeone was like, \u2018Why is Harry not getting hurt by the fire?\u2019 and it\u2019s like, if you noticed, in the rescue Tombstone mission, Pete purposefully says, \u2018Is the fire bothering you?\u2019 and he goes, \u2018no, I don\u2019t feel anything\u2019, just so I can make sure that we cover our bases.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this slight deviation from the comics, both critics and players unanimously agree that the game is a resounding triumph of an open-world superhero game.<\/p>\n

Insomniac\u2019s take on Venom in particular has been praised, with GamesRadar\u2019s Joe Donnelly hailing it as the best version of the Symbiote since the 1995 16-bit Spider-Man.<\/p>\n

Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man 2 has such a vibrant open world that Joe wants Insomniac to build a GTA 6-rivaling crime sim.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
