I mean, the white spider is based on a paper by MOONSTONE of all people. It's not exactly got the best pedigree even in-universe.

Black bodysuit, red spider logo across the torso on both sides, red eyes on the mask.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the initial proposal for the black costume had a red spider, o that'd be a deep cut. Actually, just did a google and found an image of it. That one actually white eyes. Might it be one of the Big Time suits? I seem to recall that had a 'red' setting.

Not me. That’ll always be my favorite Spider-Man toy.

Would it be a spoiler to talk about what suits aren’t in the game? I can think of six off the top of my head that are major exclusions.

Black suit, Ben Reilly as Spidey, Future Foundation, Bagman, comic Iron Spider, and cosmic Spider-Man.

Black suit's probably for a sequel, non hoodie Ben Reilly costume is super generic, no excuse for no Bagman or iron spider, not enough processing power for cosmic glutes

Black Cat gives you a black suit that’s pretty similar to the real one, which I thought was a nice little tribute to her sewing up Peter a cloth version of the symbiote way back in the day.

Which leads to one of the more violent scenes in the comics when Black Cat thinks she's found Spiderman wearing her costume but runs into Venom for the first time.

Black feels like prime DLC material. On that note, I laughed at a one off line Spidey has in one of the sidequests. There's an impostor Spider-Man going on and while Spidey is investigating he's relieved because the guy is taking down thugs without killing them. "Good to see he's not a lethal protector.

I still don't like the combat, but this game is so nice.

Now that the game's out, I can talk about my favorite moment in the game, which is very late in story mode:

Upon being informed about an industrial accident that happened in 1986, eight years before he was born, and which has heavily influenced much of what's happened in the game, Peter's immediate reaction is, "It's all my fault."

It is the most Peter Parker goddamn thing I have ever heard.

Maybe the devs thought the bigger spider emblem would upstage their costume.

The Negative Costume is cool but I would have preferred Future Foundation for a white costume.

Yeah the big brutes are annoying as poo poo. I get it in like a batman game, and i get that they can't make Spidey TOO powerful, but come on, if I punch and kick a dude and he's just blocking with elbows, that's a problem. Took me a while to get used to webbing them up, hitting a few times, rinse, repeat.

You can also use web shooters on brutes to "stun" them for a second and land your basic ground combos. If you can punt a webbed brute into a wall, he'll stick if you've done enough damage beforehand.

They're a huge pain in the rear end early on, but in the mid- to late game, they tended to get shut down before I realized they were brutes, just by virtue of swinging objects at them or setting off web bombs in the middle of crowds.

I think Arkham experience works against you in Spider-Man because the combat is just similar enough but the buttons are different which makes it really easy to muscle memory the wrong button.

Just want to echo this - having sunk hundreds of hours across multiple Arkham games, I’m still consistently thrown off by this. If they weren’t going to adopt the same button layout from the game that pioneered this, at least provide an option to.

This, but unironically. Those big guys get on my nerves and all I wanna do is throw a thing, but you gotta hold the buttons down and also NOBODY CAN DO ANYTHING for like 2 seconds or whoops there goes my combo.
