Hmm I can't remember. I think what's there was pretty much what was planned...it was done late in production so we didn't have time to do anything to extravagant

IIRC the original plan was to have wolfpack be basically a bunch of minibosses you would fight through the game...kind of like metal gear

actually, you know what else? anything that needs to transform from one state to another. Like a robot to a car....that's a nightmare to design. So basically Transformers are my art nightmare.

i don't think we ever got that far along. We had one playable level with some desert raptors which were pretty much just a palette swap of the OG raptors.

one of the cooler perks of working on Spiderman was the chance to work on comic cover art. This was a homage to the classic Romita cover:
