Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Only Used 10% of Recorded Venom Dialogue in the Final Game

The voice actor for Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 confirms he recorded plenty of in-game dialogue that was left on the cutting room floor.

UnderTheHood788 shared a thrilling video on Reddit, showcasing the newfound method to play as Venom in Spider-Man 2. The glitch involves a strategic unplug of the PS5 during a specific cutscene transition. After unplugging and replugging, when players load the save, they should get the "Don't be scared" mission, but with no objective. Once they load as Peter, they have to go to an unidentified target mission or a Talon drone mission and wait a bit. Eventually, it should switch them to Venom. If not, UnderTheHood788 advises preloading and trying again.

According to the player, it's relatively easy to use the glitch, but the only challenging part is the timing on the force crash/unplug. This new method is considered better than the previous glitch that allowed players to roam as Venom in Spider-Man 2. The glitch not only lets players control Venom but also grants them access to symbiote abilities, enhancing the gaming experience.

This glitch isn't the first time players have yearned to embody the character. Insomniac Games previously patched a glitch that allowed Spider-Man 2 players to play as Venom. Despite the excitement of fans about this new discovery, some comments on the Reddit post also highlighted the problems that might arise from unplugging the PS5 too many times. However, UnderTheHood788 assured that if players use a different save than the main ones, there is no damage to be afraid of.

The continued enthusiasm for playing as this villain highlights the connection players forge with their favorite characters in the Spider-Man universe. As players swing through the city as Venom, the glitch adds a new layer of excitement to Spider-Man 2's already captivating gameplay. Whether Insomniac Games will patch this glitch remains to be seen, but for now, players revel in the unique experience of embodying Venom.
