Insomniac Game Is Making Sure Your $70 or More Spent on Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Is Justified

With games getting bigger and better, they are also getting more expensive. Now, players looking forward to playing Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are expressing concerns that the game might come with a price that is a little too steep. But, all seems worthwhile when investment is going into some amazing gameplay experience!

The retail price of the Base Edition of the game starts at around $70 and this has many players concerned. But to give the fans an answer, the devs have come forward to explain why the game is worth every penny.

Insomniac assures Spider-Man 2 fans that the game is worth it

Insomniac’s latest game has been highly anticipated in the community. The price tag of $69.99 for the Standard, $79.99 for the Digital Deluxe, and $229.99 for the Collector’s Edition does sound expensive, but Insomniac is coming forth with explaining the value. In a conversation with BBC Newsbeat, the creative director at Insomniac Games, Bryan Intihar spoke about the value players can get from their upcoming game.

During the interview, Bryan acknowledges these concerns and debates on the price. He then emphasizes that his team’s primary focus is delivering the best possible gaming experience. The creative director explains that the goal is to ensure that players feel that the game is worth the investment – “Our job is to make sure that you feel no matter how long it is, it’s worth that money, it’s worth that investment.” He states that it’s not about gameplay hours and that Insomniac aims to provide players with an immersive and engaging experience, one that connects with players on a deeper level.

He continued to say that they estimated the main story mission to take about 15 hours. But with additional side missions and content, they estimate the total gameplay time to be around 40 hours. Other major releases in the gaming industry, which can be played for hundreds of hours, consider this duration shorter. But the way the game feels mechanically, promises players a beautiful world to immerse themself in for hundreds of hours.

What can fans expect from the different editions of Spider-Man 2?

The Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Collector’s Edition is a special, physical package of the game priced at $229.99. It includes everything in the Digital Deluxe Edition. This includes the base game, 10 unique suits, additional Photo Mode content, and 2 extra skill points.

In this edition, players will also receive a steel bookcase for the game, and the highlight is a high-quality 19-inch statue that depicts both Spider-Men engaged in battle with Venom, making it a highly collectible and visually striking addition for fans of the game and the Spider-Man universe. Essentially, it’s the most premium version with added in-game and physical goodies for those who want the ultimate Spider-Man experience.

It seems like the main plan for the devs was not to give players a long game. But to give them an experience they enjoy and never forget. For players that find the game a little too steep, it’s understandable. Considering the game is a PlayStation 5 title, players can expect such a price tag. But for the hardcore dedicated fans of the Spider-verse the Collector’s Edition is a no-brainer.
