Doing a fakeout where all of the prerelease material suggests one protagonist, then the game surprises you with another protagonist.

You remember when MGS2 did it and everyone liked it and the new protagonist.

Is the new Spider-Man game going to be like Metal Gear Solid 2 where the real main character of the game was someone different than expected so instead of Peter Parker we'll actually play as Miles Morales for most of the game?

So do we know yet if they’re MGS2’ing this thing? It would make sense in a learning the ropes/mechanics stylee.

It doesn't seem like it. They've said that there are sections you play as Peter out of costume too, and the white spider logo costume is one he designs.

But there seems like a good chance that we might play as Miles too.

I definitely don't think they're including Miles just as a background character. Not after closing the announcement trailer with his appearance.

Peter will only be in mini games where he delivers pizza, in homage to SM2.

I'd really love if they did something with him but considering it sounds like there's also a couple MJ levels where you're just kinda loving around as her and never do it again I'd be shocked if the best Miles could hope for was beyond a level or two of 'now you're Miles, take some pictures of this cool thing...ok go back to Spider-Man for the rest of the game again now'.

I'd love it if they went full Ultimate and Miles replaced Peter half way in or something, though.

I always thought it was dumb when they put Miles in the 616 they didn't use the 8 month jump post Secret Wars to not put Peter in a hospital for a month or two, then a month or two of him without his powers for a mysterious reason, giving a time frame that you didn't have to show in detail where Miles could get his powers and fill the gap of the missing Spider-Man, but then by the time the comics catch up Peter is healthy and mentoring him. The month or two without Spider-Powers is to explain how Peter suddenly owns a company big enough to rival Stark (he just needs to loving apply himself).

Why the hell would anyone think a Sony product would do something that risky.

This is like those people who not only believe Jar Jar is a sith lord but actually think he will show up in episode 9 as the guy behind everything.

Metal Gear Solid 2 was a playstation exclusive.

But it is a completely insane idea given the amount of advertising around the game, and especially all the alternate costumes, the fact that it would leek, if not before anyone played it, within hours of the the first person able to play it, playing it. I can't imagine any triple A game trying something like that today

Is the Spider-Punk costume pre-order exclusive? I might have to pre order depending on what my bank account looks like after I pay rent.

Googling tells me none are exclusive, but but pre ordering gets you Spider-Punk (and two other ones that I would never wear because they aren't Spider-Punk) immediately instead of having to unlock it. So now I'm wavering, but slightly leaning towards pre-order.

to be fair that's exactly what they are. Like I don't know if he explicitly was proper 'organized crime' but I'm pretty sure in the comics they're just mooks from his old gang he gave a massive magic infusion to and dumb masks.
