Was the decision to go with a symbiote invasion prompted by Venom’s appearance in “Spider-Man 3”?
We actually came to the story by thinking about how we wanted to make a Spider-Man game, but one where we really blow out the fighting, and the story just came naturally from that. But we were also really inspired by the movie “They Live.” That was hugely influential. In the first half of the game, you know something is going on, but then there’s this “They Live” moment where you suddenly find out that New York has been invaded by aliens. Is the game, like the ones based on the movies, set in an open world with random crimes as well as story-driven missions? It is, but we’ve really tightened the game to focus on combat, so there are fewer of the random crimes, and we’ve substituted them with more story-related missions. Though you can also just sit back and watch as things happen in the city. One thing you added is the ability to switch between Spider-Man’s regular red and blue suit and his black symbiote suit. Is this just a fashion choice or do they give you different abilities? Agai
