Believe it or not, the very first non-mainline episode of Sacred Symbols back in September of 2018 was dedicated to Insomniac's smash-hit PS4-turned-PS5-and-PC game Spider-Man. We were only 10 or so episodes into the main show, Sacred+ didn't even remotely exist yet, and that episode quietly lives here on Patreon still, yes, but buried in the annals of Last Stand past. As such, and in commemoration of Spider-Man 2's imminent launch on PlayStation 5, I (Colin) thought I'd sit down with my brother Dagan -- a newbie to all things Insomniac Spider-Man -- for a trio of episodes of +. This is the first of the bunch, a deep dive into the original game that spawned some meaty DLC packs (which we'll cover in episode two) and an interstitial game that launched alongside PlayStation 5 (which we'll cover in episode three). That makes October a very webby month, which I guess makes some sense, all things considered. So take a trip to NYC with us, where we find a 20-something Peter Parker in yet another sticky situation...

In the anals of Last Stand’s past. Noice.

Jordan Fugate

Looking forward to these.

Michael Mashpotato

Y’all should have made the thumbnail a selfie at uncle Bens grave site.

Austin Clemence

I believe Uncharted 4 was the first to do interstitial dialogue.

Bogey Zero

Kinda wished you finished the story before doing this spoiler cast, as the final fight and ending is the best part of the game and I was looking forward to hear your current day thoughts on it. Hopefully you take some time to talk about them on the next spoiler cast for Miles Morales.

Matthew Guilford

This is a great moment in Sacred Symbols history. Can’t wait to listen to this, especially so close to Spider-man 2!

If you want to see Peter unhinged read Spiderman Civil War. After his identity is exposed, Kingpin sends and assassin to kill him. Aunt Mary gets shot instead and he loses his shit. No jokes just beat downs on anyone involved. He even goes to the prison where Kingpin is and whoops his ass and threatens to kill him and also threatenes every prisoner there to stay away from his family. Spidey snaps sometimes but it's usually only shown in the comics. Also a couple of what ifs he turns evil too. Also, MJ was a super model in the comics for a little while, probably why people are mad.

MJ SKA BOI

There is a Spider-Man story where he accidentally kills someone. He then trains himself to pull his punches and temper his super-strength. He doesn’t really operate at full power when fighting humans. What makes Peter so great is that while he’s fighting these bad guys, he is also trying to help them! Like Dagan says, Peter will not go down to the villains level. In fact, he is trying to pull them out of that dark place in many cases. Edit: and just for clarification- the burglar that Tobey’s Spider-Man attacks in the warehouse… he is afraid of Peter and backs up against an open window. Peter sees the guy is about to trip and he moves to stop him from falling, but the man trips and falls to his death.

Ohhh shit I thought we were getting a Chris mail bag today and as much as I'd like that I'm hype about this!!

Big Ru

Oouuuuuu!

Ok, whether you agree with other people or not on if MJ is hot or not, Dagan, there’s a clear difference between cute and hot. The two are completely different things. You can’t just substitute one for the other.

Col, doc ock takes over peters body and makes him rich / gets his doctorate and then when letter comes back, they rip it all away from him and give him a roommate

Beau!

I loved going indoors and using all my gadgets to fuck dudes up. I think since Colin didn't use gadgets those parts weren't fun for him. Great discussion and recap!

Brandon Soto

Very nostalgic game for me, even if it’s 5 years old. Mac Miller passed the day this game came out.

Kate

The best thing about picking up back this game before the new one is being an awesome spiderman instead of getting used to the controls again.

Joshua Brown

Dagan could have saved himself from the face change whiplash if he played it on PS5

Joshua Brown

MJ’s portrayal over the years has warped thanks to the movies and different interpretations. In the mainline comics, despite MJ’s aunt being a neighbour of Aunt May, Gwen Stacy was always more “The Girl Next Door”. Whereas MJ was the party girl that became a supermodel and actress. That being said the reactions to her interpretation in this game is stupid.

Cormac

I'm only about 30 minutes in but Dagan, my guy, it sounds like you have skipped soooooo much in game content so far!

Connor Staley

Wait... haven't listened to the episode yet. They did a spoilercast and didn't finish the game??

Bogey Zero

Dagan finished it. Colin said since he beat the game before he decided he was gonna save the final mission until after he finished mopping up all the side stuff.

Zachary Abell

Spiderman was such a great 8/10 game, imho. Repetitive combat, uninspired open world, brain dead side content at times, awful spinoff missions, but packaged with a fun game to traverse, great graphics, and a great main story.

NeO JD

Mr. Negative getting away with blackface because he’s Asian is wild. 🤣

brody_low

I love when we get episodes of knockback for ss+

Josh Gamez

Just like whenever y'all do any other Comic related topic on Knockback, I find myself screaming internally about every bit of lore that you guys just vamp on about with no real knowledge/context (I'm saying this with love) lol.

Josh Gamez

I kinda feel like over time (I say this as a big comic guy) Gwen and MJ have kinda warped into one character in a lot of adaptations lol.

Josh Gamez

It's too bad Colin can't get into comics because knowing his preferences I genuinely feel like there are a ton of stories he'd absolutely love.

Oliver Johnson

The first game to do “sorry, what were you saying?” was actually Uncharted 4! With the introduction of the large open areas with the Jeep they had Sam or Sully continue the conversation that way now that Nate could jump out to do side bits along the way.

Brannon H

People's obsession with having every superhero be murderers is so frustrating. It shows an absolute lack of understanding of the character. Anytime a comic makes a character like Batman, or Superman a killer it is so one note and offers nothing of substance.

The Fred Durst Death Hoax

Yuri lowenthal is goated. Voiced like a third of male NPCS & the Male Courier in Fallout New Vegas, Yosuke in Persona 4, and a damn good spiderman.

A Hind D

Gadgets are where it’s at man. Especially on hard

Steve Gray

Loving having Dagan on SS+ episodes, more please!
