With Insomniac Games once again bringing Peter Parker and Miles Morales back into the lives of gamers with Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the sequel will entail a variety of improvements and refinements to the established superhero formula. This will include other aspects of living the life of these heroes, such as Peter's passion for photography.
Indeed, the game takes this to another level with a side activity that will take players across New York City in search of opportunities to show everyone else just what the city is all about. For players hoping to grab all the possible Photo Ops in the game, this guide will show the best way of filling up the virtual photo album.
One Marvel's Wolverine Feature Will Likely Be a Lot Less Extensive Than in Spider-Man 2
Time will tell how similar Marvel's Wolverine will be to the Marvel's Spider-Man games, but one feature could be comparatively toned down.
All Photo Ops Locations in Marvel's Spider-Man 2
Once the introductory missions of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 are done, the game will task players with taking some photos as a way for Peter to earn some much-needed cash. This will open up the side activity that is Photo Ops, which can be found across the entire city in different locations. To complete a shot, bring up the Camera app and get the subjects in the frame; once there is a green circle, snap away to get the photo.
These opportunities can be on the streets, up high among buildings, and everything in between. In order for them to show up on the map, players will have to get reasonably near. Rather than rely on guesswork, here are all 23 locations categorized by the neighborhoods:
