Tyler Fischer of ComicBook.com writes: "As you will know, there is a plethora of villains Insomniac Games could tap for future releases, but here are five who we think it is likely to choose."
Saad from eXputer: "After the rise of Rocksteady and its fall with post-Suicide Squad, I'm worried about Marvel's Spider-Man suffering a similar fate."
Why? According to the well publicized Insomniac leaks they have a slew of plans for Spiderman including its sequel.
The sequel has had rumors that it could be sold piecemeal style or might be GaaS.

This is all coming from the leaks you mentioned. The problem is the industry is not doing well no matter how ill-informed people spin it on here when they see “sold 3 mill.” In those Sony leaks it showed the struggle to get ROI and they spend an insane amount of money to develop, which makes 0 sense to me when there’s not much to show for the increased development costs. Case in point would be Suicide Squad vs Arkham Knight.
I believe we’re in the middle of seeing a drastic change in media and distribution. This goes for movies, but more so for games and the industry is scrambling to figure out how to get more money out of consumers rather than stick to the “buy it once” to play it all.

These are things you need to pay attention to in order to know which direction the wind’s blowing with this sh*t storm. I was almost certain the GaaS initiative was killed when Jim was leaving, but now seeing the success of Helldivers 2… I’m thinking we’re in for a bumpy ride. I just don’t know what that looks like yet, but I don’t think it’s gonna be pretty.
Insomniac still has a good generation left in them before they get cannibalized by investors. It'll probably happen around the mid PS6 gen, when we see the beginning of the fall.
Huh with this article? If Sony and Insomniac want to abandoned the Spider-Man franchise and make a half baked, live service Spider-Man game, and miss the mark with their fans, then God bless’em!!!!
Seems unlikely when they abandoned the GaaS spiderverse game but are still going ahead with single player games like Wolverine and Spider-Man 3.

From the Amazing Spider-Man series to the most recent titles and DLCs, explore which Spider-Man game deserves to be ranked first and why.
Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Ultimate Spider-Man use to be my favorite until Insomniac games took over.
My favorite and still champion Spiderman PS2, followed by Marvels Spiderman2, then Miles Morales, followed by Marvels Spiderman, and finally Ultimate Spiderman.
I need to drag out my PS3 and try Web of Shadows, owned the game for years and years and never played.
Spider-Man (2000), Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro, and Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions were all so good! I have fond memories playing them.
I'd like Norman to make the transition to the Goblin I need the next one. Make him the main baddie and have the Lizard be what Mr Negative was in the first. Have him working for Osborn now and thatbplay into him becoming theizard again. Peter trying to help cure Conner's will play well with the relationship he had with Otto.
Have Harry in the background and that whole situation slowly coming together. Eddie Brock is also in this version because he signed the card Peter got when he left the Bugle. If the want they could have him somehow come into contact with the symbiote I really go with Gargan or Harry.
That will lead to Spidey battling the Lizard and Goblin part two and maybe throw in the Prowler(the Ultimate version who is Miles's uncle) and any other low level baddie to fill out the side stuff.
Have Norman killed or badly beaten and this would lead to part three with Venom as the main bad and maybe Kraven as the second baddie.
I really hope they utilize the villains more in the sequel, when I was doing side missions I expected to see a lesser known villain pop up in the end but the only time that happened was Tombstone and Taskmaster. They had so many opportunities to create side missions including these lesser known characters but didn't and it was just a shame, I mean sure it's nice to have some normal "this guy is missing" or "this girl has been kidnapped" missions but I always expected a surprise twist villain at the end but never got it.
Not to mention for the Sinister Six to be in this I felt like they were quickly dealt with, two being defeated at the same time boss battle wise to save time. Each region on the map should have had a single villain you'd need to defeat.
I pray to god they don't make Harry Venom in this, they could easily have it so at the start of the next game Spiderman is zapped to Earth and he references the Secret Wars he was in, just getting back from it with the Symbiote hitching a ride with him. I want to see it where Norman is trying to make Harry better and accidentally ends up becoming the Green Goblin then in the sequel Harry gets better and tries to avenge his father by becoming the Green Goblin himself or in this Universe the Hobgoblin
Villains I'd want to see...
Meteor Man
Vermin
Chameleon
Jack O'Lantern
The Tinkerer
Shriek
Hammerhead
Dansen Macabre
Calypso
Cold Heart
Man Wolf
The Spot
Hydro-Man
The Beetle
The Spider-Slayers
Molten Man
Morbius the Living Vampire
I expect the Green Goblin in the sequel. I would love to see the symbiotes in some future game: Venom, Carnage, etc.
Love the game but to many side missions for my liking, could of lengthened the story and concentrated on the bosses more. Chasing pigeons, and toxic fumes, finding back packs. Load of nonsense really to flesh out the game. Why not flesh out the story instead of pandering to the trophy whores, oh look I platinumed the game whoopy doo.
