00:21bell to get notified about our latest videos hero ads ultimate spider-man
00:34the world of ultimate spider-man overflows with easter eggs referencing other characters
00:39some of them are obvious and in your face like billboards that advertise fisk enterprises or
00:45recruit for shield and an in-universe craven the hunter tv show
00:53there are others though that are a bit more hidden or obscure like a poster for a movie called the
00:58ultimates hanging up in a movie theater or graffiti that reads geldof rules referencing a mutant who
01:04debuted in the ultimate universe was brought over to the main comic universe but was killed off a few
01:10years after this game came out
01:18the man without fear marvel's spider-man series yeah a blind guy gave me his card in case spider-man
01:25ever
01:25needs a lawyer you can find nods to various other heroes throughout insomniac's games first up daredevil
01:32in marvel spider-man one of the collectible backpacks holds a business card for the law offices of nelson and
01:38murdoch if he's blind how did he know i was spider-man you can also find their plaque on a
01:43building in
01:44hell's kitchen other important locations for the character include fogwell's gym josey's bar and the
01:50clinton mission shelter insomniac seemingly took it a step further in spider-man 2 in the upper west side
01:56you can find a hidden room blocked off inside a bookshop the room holds various weapons armaments
02:02occultist symbols and a skull sitting on the table leading many to believe this a reference to the
02:08hand the secretive antagonistic force daredevil is constantly at war with
02:18the costa family marvel's spider-man the old crime families were all but wiped out until fisk went away
02:24and they started filling the void at the very beginning of the city that never sleeps dlc
02:30mj narrates over an evidence board featuring various new york crime families one name in particular
02:36might stand out to old school comic fans the costa family
02:46though they aren't important to the end game story and are only name dropped later they're a vital piece
02:52to the backstory of frank castle aka the punisher although the people responsible for the deaths of
02:57his family have been altered between numerous retellings the costa family were the ones responsible
03:02in the original comics if insomniac ever brings the punisher into their universe the seed has been
03:08planted for a more classic adaptation marvel's first family
03:26since spider-man has such a strong tie to the fantastic four in the comics several games have
03:32included references to them on top of racing the human torch and ultimate spider-man you can find
03:37their headquarters the baxter building as well as the reed richards science center and the latverian
03:42embassy you got enough lighter fluid wow that was a lame comeback it's the altitude insomniac has also
03:50naturally included a reference to the group in its world in marvel's spider-man 2 you'll also
03:54find the baxter building at the very top you'll find the team's trademark emblem painted across
03:59the roof and you can also find one of the collectible spider bots here themed after spidey's time with the
04:05future
04:05foundation you're living in the future coney island rides marvel's spider-man 2
04:13all right here's the plan tonight is the greatest hits album of our childhood and the top three singles
04:20each of our favorite attractions during a calmer bit in spider-man 2's story peter mj and harry enjoy
04:27a night out at coney island and while you explore the many games and rides you might notice the place
04:32is littered with easter eggs there's the octo ride with its octopus mascot wearing an old-timey doctor's
04:38headlamp there are attractions named after obscure spidey characters like speed demon hydroman king
04:44crab rocket racer and big wheel i guess this really was the year harry that was something else
04:54there are also references to characters outside spidey's mythos there's the flying mantis a reference
05:00to mantis of guardians of the galaxy dazzlers dance stage a nod to the x-men character and the whack
05:06-a-mole
05:07like hydra heads nice the original marvel's spider-man series spider suit ideas gotta make sure mom
05:20doesn't see this spider-man debuted in 1962's amazing fantasy number 15 which has one of the most famous
05:30covers in comic history spider-man swinging through the city with a civilian in tow insomniac's games have
05:36included small nods to the cover in miles morales's solo adventure you can find a copy on a shelf in
05:42his room the easter egg makes a more blatant appearance in spider-man 2 replicated as a picture
05:47that peter took for the daily bugle and displayed in his room trophies marvel's spider-man 2
06:03is this the best you can do craven's whole purpose in spider-man 2 is finding an opponent worthy of
06:10killing him and he takes out a whole lot of spidey's villains in his hunt while you see him dispose
06:16of
06:16scorpion you get confirmation of others in a later mission with mj as she attempts to rescue dr connor's
06:23you can find vulture's wings shocker's gauntlets and electro's vest the one who's missing is rhino
06:29but after launch some players found that if you glitch through the overworld map you can find
06:35craven's throne room seemingly cut from the game mounted on a wall behind the throne is rhino's head
06:50goblin's lair spider-man 3
07:00you can find a few nods to spidey's villains in the spider-man 3 video game such as the meteorite
07:06that
07:06the symbiote arrived on sitting in an alley but a much cooler one can be found inside one of the
07:11city's apartments specifically norman osborne's yes you can enter the green goblin's home and more
07:18interestingly break through a mirror behind which sits his secret lair inside you'll find his glider
07:24and the mask as well as a variety of gadgets and weapons and it was pretty cool for the devs
07:29to
07:29include this for players to stumble on roxon's associates marvel's spider-man miles morales
07:40notes about roxon independent contractors we need an outside partner to track tinker and spider-man for
07:46us the mission tinker taylor soldier spy sees miles escaping from a roxon facility and along the way he
07:53can take a look at what they've been up to in the back of one of the rooms among the
07:57other computer
07:58screens you can see a silhouetted list of known criminals roxon considered hiring first is black cat
08:04who appeared in the first game's dlc second is tombstone who was also in the first game and
08:10third is prowler who of course plays a huge role throughout this game's story that can't be
08:17no no way tune of shadows marvel's spider-man 2 you never cared to hear me play but surely you
08:25remember
08:25this i'm afraid insomniac's spider-man games are far from the first to feature venom and the devs chose to
08:32pay homage to an earlier adventure that also featured the character through a pretty cool easter
08:36egg while on a mission tracking someone you think is one of craven's targets a voice recording makes
08:41comments as you investigate different objects in the apartment if you interact with the piano the
08:46voice claims you'll surely recognize this refrain as beethoven's moonlight sonata begins to play
08:59this same piece of music was used during the prologue of 2008's web of shadows which also focused on the
09:05symbiote invasion in new york just like the final third of this game the sanctum sanctorum
09:18we've seen evidence that many heroes exist in spider-man's adventures even if they themselves
09:23don't actually appear another important hero linked to new york is the sorcerer supreme dr strange in
09:30ultimate spider-man you can find his sanctum sanctorum with its recognizable window making it stand out
09:35amongst the other buildings unfortunately you can't go inside to check out strange's curiosities
09:48neither can you and marvel's spider-man where the sanctorum also appears as an easter egg
09:53however strange's home does play an important role in the sequel during a mission where miles helps
09:59out black cat oh that's a first little spider wants to play huh familiar voices spider-man shattered
10:11dimensions yeah sorry about that guess they don't make tablets like they used to huh spider-man has
10:16had several great multiversal stories in recent memory but shattered dimension deserves the credit for
10:21leading that charge it follows four versions of the hero from alternate dimensions each with unique
10:26mechanics and each voiced by a different actor all of them had voiced peter parker in previous animated
10:32appearances the black suit what am i doing in the black suit i hate this thing neil patrick harris the
10:39amazing spider-man voiced him in 2003's spider-man the new animated series christopher daniel barnes
10:46spider-man noir voiced him in the 90s animated series dan gilvizan spider-man 2099 voiced him in the 80s
10:54spider-man spider-man spider-man spider-man new york city whoever put this here must know my habits
11:02awfully well and finally josh keaton ultimate spider-man voiced him in the spectacular spider-man which aired in
11:09the late 2000s only one thing missing it's my last night before school starts and i can really use some
11:17action hidden stash spider-man
11:27for spider-man's first ever 3d adventure neversoft knocked it out of the park it was super fun for the
11:33time and featured some of spidey's most notorious enemies as boss fights like venom and doc ock green
11:39goblin one of his most infamous villains did not appear but you could find a pretty neat easter egg that
11:45hinted towards his existence in the level where peter is being chased by police helicopters you can
11:55spot a crane with the word bomb spray painted on the side next to a jack-o-lantern if you
12:00go inside the
12:01cabin you'll find an alternate costume as well as some pumpkin bombs which will prompt peter to slyly
12:07say gee i wonder who those pumpkin bombs go on to future arch nemesis marvel's spider-man
12:16schematics for a prototype combat mask looks like it can reveal structural weaknesses insomniac's opening
12:23title had a neat reference to norman osborn's future villainy during mary jane's stealth section inside his
12:28penthouse she could find a prototype of the green goblin's helmet it can reveal structural weaknesses a very
12:35dangerous feature for a villain to have and shows a glider icon in its hud when mj puts it on
12:41whoa this mask is incredible she'll also find prototype hand grenades that resemble his pumpkin
12:48bombs venom and craven the hunter took up the main villain spots in the sequel but we have a pretty
12:53good feeling we'll see osborn's turn to villainy whenever we inevitably get marvel's spider-man 3.
12:59listen i know i don't say this enough but thank you dad paying tribute marvel's spider-man miles morales
13:13multiple spider-man stories highlight the fact that no matter how powerful you can't save everyone
13:19in the miles centric spin-off insomniac paid tribute to those we've lost both fictional and actual inside the
13:26harlem cemetery you can pay respects and earn a trophy by interacting with the grave of jefferson
13:31davis miles's father who died in the first game with an unstable energy source on the verge of wiping
13:38harlem off the map this youthful spider-man reportedly stepped in and saved lives you can also find the
13:47graves of ben and may parker and insomniac additionally memorialized real-life marvel icons black panther's
13:54chadwick boseman who passed away in 2020 had a street named after him with boseman way as well
14:00as a special message at the end of the credits stan lee who passed in 2018 was given a glorious
14:06statue
14:07outside the restaurant he made a cameo in during the first game wow honey just got made
14:15deadpool's pause rants spider-man shattered dimensions congratulations spider-man you've
14:21ruined my broadcast and you deserve your prize the fragment that won't do if deadpool appears in a
14:28video game he needs to be just as cavalier with zany fourth wall breaks as he always is wade wilson
14:34appeared as a boss for the ultimate spider-man in shattered dimensions in this universe he was anti-mutant
14:40and the host of his own show pain factor which forced mutants to compete to stay alive pain factor
14:48with your host the anti-hero for hire the mask for your task the guy who won't die
14:55that may be more villainous than what we know him for now but at least he still showcased his signature
15:00self-aware humor if you pause during his fight and take too long deadpool will frequently complain about
15:07it and mock you he'll accuse you of having a problem calling you a pause-a-holic and make some
15:13clever
15:13jokes classic wade oh look at the widow baby with the cute widow boys button bruce campbell's hidden line
15:22spider-man 2 well sequel time already huh welcome back i guess i'm sure you miss me more than i
15:29miss you
15:30for the tie-in games for sam raimi's original trilogy bruce campbell narrates the tutorial sections
15:36this itself is an easter egg as campbell made cameos in all three movies and starred in the evil
15:42dead trilogy which was also directed by raimi but there's a hidden line of campbell's in spider-man 2
15:48that should be impossible for most players to hear if you died during the tutorial which you can only do
15:54by hacking the game to make spidey shoot into the sky and come falling back down you'll hear this
16:00anyway things have changed around here since last time so they dragged me back at great expense to
16:05explain what's up it is quite literally a line for game testers though it must have been an
16:11incredibly fun discovery for whatever player came across it well i'm not sure how you managed to die
16:16i mean seriously unless you're a professional game tester there's no reason for you to be dying yet
16:21miles's neighbors marvel's spider-man miles morales and after all that believe it or not a spider bit me
16:30i started to change being the friendly neighborhood spider-man means accepting your neighbors as they
16:37are but miles and his mom may want to think about moving outside of miles's building there are a few
16:43interesting names listed on the intercom one is waldo as in where's waldo while another reads andy and
16:50buzz a nod to toy story those neighbors are all well and good but one tag further down reads cthulhu
16:57with an
16:58adorable squid doodle next to it as if living near a horrific cosmic entity wasn't bad enough the
17:09blood-stained tag at the bottom reads fred and jason referencing freddy krueger and jason vorhees
17:15their apartment number 13f is a nod to the latter's franchise friday the 13th
17:21i'll have to pass that message myself won't i sewer dwelling ken the amazing spider-man
17:37most tie-in games especially superhero ones will expand the narrative by including quests and villains
17:43not seen in the movie for the amazing spider-man one mission has peter tracking vermin a mutated humanoid rat
17:50through the sewers of nyc you can probably already guess where this is going at a certain point
17:56spidey will taunt vermin by asking him if he's off to eat pizza with his adopted turtle sons
18:05with your adopted turtle sons a clear nod to the teenage mutant ninja turtles this reference has another
18:11layer to it sam regal who voices spider-man also appeared across multiple games and animated shows
