Insomniac's Spider-Man for PS4 releases on September 7th

[Frontier]

In Norman's case, I think they just assumed that audiences going in already know what Norman is like, and that they didn't need to focus as much on it, especially with him (presumably) being a main villain in future games where he will likely be a main villain. It's fair to say that as Peter's opinion of Norman goes, it doesn't seem to be positive or even neutral, and the same goes for MJ.

Also, to be fair, Spidey does take down Fisk and was established to have been trying to do that for 8 years since he first became Spider-Man.

I was kind of surprised how little Peter and Norman actually interacted in the game to be honest.

Didn't MJ expose everything Norman and OsCorp did? That was really all they could've done in that situation.

I feel that's important to remember since Fisk in this universe was the top corporate criminal in Manhattan, especially with so many other corporate tycoons from the comics missing in the Insomniacverse.

Fair points there.

Same. You'd think the game would build up their relationship, however antagonistic, more before the (presumably) inevitable transformation of Norman Osborn into the Green Goblin in a future game.

How often do YOU interact with your best friend’s parents?

Given other Spider-Man media, you'd be surprised .

Precisely how you know something is fictional.

To be fair, Norman isn't the Goblin (yet) and Harry isn't around. Take those two away and Peter doesn't have much reason to interact with Norman much, especially out of costume.

Scott Porter (Harry) has announced he won't be returning for the sequel, though no word on who will replace him...

I wasn't, Norman's a busy guy, he doesn't have time for the little people! Fisk/Osborn 2024!

Aww...that sucks.

I heard. Real shame.

Could play it out like the 90s animated series, where Fisk bailed out Oscorp and used that as leverage over Norman until Norman got fed up and tried to have Fisk assassinated by the Hobgoblin, then snapped two seasons later and became the Green Goblin himself to take revenge on Fisk. Would be interesting to see how that setup could be twisted in the Insomniac Games Spider-Man Universe.

Well, I just hope it wouldn't end with Mary Jane being tossed off the Queensboro Bridge and dying because Peter didn't do this:

Or this:

Or this:

I know mo-cap is seen as such a big deal and part of the animation process for games, but considering how they treated Peters' face I don't really see what's the big deal of Scott Porter remaining the voice.

But I'm also someone who prefers vocal consistency.
