Spider-Man 2 Cut Suits From The First Game Because They Weren't "PS5 Sized"

thegamer.com:

Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has explained why the sequel is missing so many costumes from the first game and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, noting that it wasn't as simple as just porting them from one to the other.

Although Spider-Man 2 has seen a ton of praise from critics and fans since its release last month, it's also seen its fair share of criticism. Players have expressed disappointment in the final boss battle against Venom, Miles Morales' awful new suit, and the lack of suit powers, but there's one part of the game that has drawn more ire than the rest - the selection of Spider suits and how many have been cut from previous games.

Spider-Man 2 might be missing some iconic Spidey suits, but it also added unargaubly the best Spider-Man costume ever - The Amazing Spider-Man 2 suit. That's a good enough trade for me.

Before launch, most Spider-Man players assumed that every suit from the original game and Spider-Man: Miles Morales would simply get ported over to the sequel and give us the biggest roster of suits in any Spider-Man game, but that isn't what ended up happening. Although Spider-Man 2 does add to the suit collection with some awesome new costumes and colour options for nearly every suit, it also cut a ton of popular choices.

All of these changes and cuts have been met with a pretty mixed reception (with particular annoyance going towards how many MCU suits there are) from fans assuming that every suit would make it in by default, but Spider-Man 2's director, Bryan Intihar, has explained in a recent interview with IGN that it isn't quite as simple as that.

While speaking to IGN in a spoilercast for Spider-Man 2, Intihar is asked about the cuts that have been made to the suit selection. Intihar
