Spider-Man 2 Fans Miss The Social Media Feed

thegamer.com:

Insomniac's first Spider-Man game had a social media feed you could view on the map, seeing what everyone in New York City thought of the web-slinging menace. There were people asking if he ever ate his own webs, celebrating Wilson Fisk's downfall, sharing fan fiction, and poking fun at the Daily Bugle. But if you look at the map on Spider-Man 2, you'll notice there's no social media.

Fans aren't too happy it's missing, since it would have provided an interesting glimpse into the public's reaction to the Symbiote suit. We get snippets from the Danikast and J. Jonah Jameson's podcast, but nothing from the people on the ground.

The social media was such a missed opportunity with the Symbiote. Would've loved to see what New Yorkers thought of Bully Lowenthal.

There's also the opportunity to explore the public's reaction to being transformed into mindless Symbiotes, or even to see comments on Miles Morales' new suit. Do they hate it as much as fans, or is it a bonafide hit in-universe?

In the original, Spider-Man even had his own account, with 15.3 million fans. His alias was the "NYCWallCrawler". Think Kick-Ass hosting a Myspace page in the 2010 movie, only without Nicolas Cage doxxing him. It would've been fun to see how he updated his socials with his new suit and attitude. I doubt Symbiote Spidey would have a description like, "Whether it's trying to save the world, or a cat from a tree... I'll be there!"

Aside from the social media feed, fans are calling on Insomniac to add back character bios. In the original, you can read up on anyone you meet throughout the main and side stories. Insomniac could even take things a step further now by crediting the characters' creators and first appearances.
