With the highly-anticipated release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just around the corner, fans are taking a moment to reflect on the future by comparing the graphics of the game. A recent social media post has sparked a conversation about the evolution of Venom, one of the game’s iconic characters.
The post, originally shared by PlayStation YouTuber MBG, showcases a striking comparison between Venom’s appearance in the PlayStation title Spider-Man from 2000 and how he looks in the upcoming Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, set to launch next month on PlayStation 5.
The difference is truly remarkable. Over the span of 23 years, PlayStation has progressed from the PS1 to the current PS5, and this transformation is evident in Venom’s updated design.
Since his debut in the 2000 game, Venom has made appearances in various other titles, such as Ultimate Spider-Man (2005), Spider-Man 3 (2007), Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (2007), and Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (2009), as well as other Marvel games. However, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 marks his return to a true Spider-Man game after a 14-year absence.
The Reddit thread discussing this comparison was filled with excitement for the new Venom, admiration for the original PS1 version, and appreciation for the advancements in technology. Of course, there was also a playful reference to the recent “19 inches of Venom” meme, which originated from PlayStation’s U.K. Twitter account.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, featuring Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and the impressive new Venom, will be exclusively available on the PS5 starting October 20th. Get ready for an unforgettable gaming experience!
