It will take 17 – 20 hours to beat Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s main story and see the credits roll. Additionally, it will take 25 – 30 hours to complete all of the main and side content. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the same length as the first game in the series, Marvel’s Spider-Man. However, it is longer than Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

This has been confirmed by Insomniac Games’ Senior Game Director, Ryan Smith, in an interview with VG247. In that interview, Smith explained that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 would be “in the same ball-park as the first game in terms of overall playtime” and that they weren’t looking to make it an epic “80-100 hour game.”

While fans looking for a lengthy Spider-Man adventure may be disappointed, there will still be plenty of collectibles and things to do outside of the main story. You’ll also have a much larger open world to explore, with even more districts than the previous 2 Marvel’s Spider-Man games.

[Zuzu]

That's a good length. I'm happy with that. Hopefully the open world content outside the main story will be mostly interesting.

 

[A.Romero]

It took me a bit more to finish the first one, I think. Can't remember exactly.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Perfect length honestly.

Would rather get SM2 in 2-3 years (vs. Ratcher or Miles, depending on perspective) than having to wait 5 years for a bloated Horizon/God of War that could have used an editor or narrower scope. Neither of those two titles needed to take 5 years and probably would have been better for it without so much bloat.

 

[Chuck Berry]

…for some people yes. For some people it’ll be less. For some people it’ll take 3x as long.

Stop with these baity, bullshit objective opinion threads. Jesus

 

[Crayon]

Why does it take me 50% longer than everyone else to beat games?!?!

I like these kind of threads because my time to play video games is very limited, I usually check how long to beat when choosing something new from my backlog, so this information is useful to me.

This. I cant believe devs have to now apologize for creating 30 hour long games. absolutely fucking ridiculous.

 

[Topher]

That's awesome. Not long now.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Good length. Not too long, not too short. Fucking hype!

 

[VeganElduderino]

I'm ready like

 

[Kilau]

That's a good length.

Perfect length honestly.

Good length.

19 inches baby!

 

[rofif]

That's ok.
20 for main, 30 for main+side is good. if it's longer to plat, that's also fine but I dont do that.

 

[gothmog]

Nice to see people not bitching about the length. I just want to enjoy the game in it's entirety. I already have a job.

Not the way I see it at all. These threads are made to be console war shit slingers for all the kids. Nothing good comes out of them.

Guarantee we see a poll in an hour asking which game length we prefer: Spiderman 2 (even though no one’s fucking played it) or Starfield

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Some people here probably wish it was just five or six hours. har har

 

[adamsapple]

19 inches baby!

Take an extra inch for every hour.

 

[zeldaring]

Why does it take me 50% longer than everyone else to beat games?!?!

Same lol

 

[Kilau]

Take an extra inch for every hour.

 

[adamsapple]

When you're trying to explain why there's a 19 inch venom in your room

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Lines up with what I posted earlier today then

So a friend said he already got the platinum on this game so not sure if people want to know how long it took him or not so guess will spoiler it

27 hours

 

[Magic Carpet]

And a week later a 25 min done quick run will be shown to the developers.

But seriously, I welcome a nice long 30 hour single player Spiderman game.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

This. I cant believe devs have to now apologize for creating 30 hour long games. absolutely fucking ridiculous.

RE4:R was a masterful 20 hours

Probably my GOTY this year

 

[IFireflyl]

I'm good with the length, but if it has a larger world with more districts then the original, I would have expected it to take longer than the original.

 

[ReBurn]

That's like 4 years the way I play

 

[ckaneo]

I'm good with the length, but if it has a larger world with more districts then the original, I would have expected it to take longer than the original.

You move way faster in this game

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Marketing has begun just saw a commercial on Monday Night Football

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Good. I'm tired of wasting 100 hours in useless filler. I like to finish those big blockbuster games but they are making very hard with artificially extended lenght. I cannot play every game I'd like to for this shitty practice. But I also hate to drop games.
Developers should be more respectful of people time

 

[Arsic]

I’m all for it as long as I don’t play as MJ once, or have to deal with the game shitting out 70% more side quests in the last stretch of the game.

The first game was on track for excellent pacing and how much content it had then went off rails to throw way too much repeat content out the whazoo with the annoying snipers on roof tops all over New York.

Miles Morales was a better game because it had none of these issues and respected my time. I enjoyed the story in the first game more even though I find Miles far more interesting than Peter these days.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Was the original main story that long? I remember it being kinda short, at ten hours maybe?

17-ish hours according to...

[OGM_Madness]

Perfect. I'd much rather drink a glass of wine than a gallon of tap water.

 

[3liteDragon]

That's a good length. I'm happy with that. Hopefully the open world content outside the main story will be mostly interesting.

Yea this is what I'm mainly hoping for.

 

[M.W.]

Should be $49.99 then. K, thanks.

 

[Sub_Level]

Boss battles now have health bars.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I completely (100%) played through the first game twice, second time on hardest difficulty, so this is perfect for me.

Very happy it’s not short like Miles was.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Hope it’s a good 25-30 to complete everything. First game was the definition of Ubiclone checklist, outside of the main story.

 

[mckmas8808]

This. I cant believe devs have to now apologize for creating 30 hour long games. absolutely fucking ridiculous.

It's insane! Especially when it's a perfect-length game. A game like Spiderman shouldn't need to take 60 hours to beat.

 

[AtomicStarving]

Quite weird that even with the game being practically the same size as the previous one, Sony sent the game so early to the media. Someone already got the platinum, apparently.

They could have easily sent the game on the 5th, with the embargo on the 18th. The Internet will be flooded with leaks in the coming days.

 

[ManaByte]

It's insane! Especially when it's a perfect-length game. A game like Spiderman shouldn't need to take 60 hours to beat.

If UbiSoft made it they'd bloat it to 80 hours.

 

[simpatico]

I could believe that. I checked my Steam and I got 41hrs out of the first game.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Should be $49.99 then. K, thanks.

But how are they going to recover the $100 mil+ spent on advertising?!

 

[mckmas8808]

If UbiSoft made it they'd bloat it to 80 hours.

LOL! You're right. And it's why Ubisoft is struggling.

As of now, you’re technically the only one here manifesting this behavior and mentioning other games. Most people here seem content with the length due to having limited free time.

 

[Pimpbaa]

30 hours was enough for the first game. It really didn’t have a diverse enough side quest activities to make it any longer. I’m not expecting the sequel to be that different from the first game and Miles Morales. It’s not like an open world rpg or open world adventure (like Zelda BOTW/TOTK) where I expect it to be much longer due to a vast range of things to do.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Yeah, because I pointed it out. Thanks

 

[poodaddy]

Perfect length of time and perfect length of Venom.

 

[Laieon]

20-30 hours is my preferred game length and while I thought the 1st game ended a bit too abruptly (and that's more of a writing issue), by that point I saw what I wanted to see and played what I wanted to play. Glad to hear they're still making the series short and sweet compared to other big name titles.

Was the original main story that long? I remember it being kinda short, at ten hours maybe?

I just replayed it and beat it in around 18 hours (while doing the occasional side mission, but not going out of my way to do them). Miles Morales was about 10-12 hours.

 

[Larxia]

This doesn't really mean anything, because it includes achievements and all, so it's not so much in the end.
I thought the first one was way too short, everytime I did a story mission and looked at my save, there was like 15% more progression.

 

[Rendered Tangent]

I guess I've got a week to finish Starfield.
