Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: 7 Best Mods
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a fantastic game, though many players want to be able to customize the adventure to their preference. Here are some mods.
When announced for PC, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 rightfully saw much of the anticipation focused on where the mods could take this game. There are already many changes from the 2018 Spider-Man game to the 2023 sequel, but now you can make some even more exciting ones yourself with these creative mods.

John Bubniak’s Face Over Ben Jordan Face
Mod By CarlosRPG5555
For the PS5 and PC remastered versions, and continuing with the PS5 sequel, Marvel’s Spider-Man changed the face of Peter Parker from the original model, actor John Bubniak, to Ben Jordan. Jordan’s face looks much younger to fit the role of Peter Parker better, but Bubniak’s face was also iconic and led to many players missing his version of Peter.
With this mod, you can restore John Bubniak’s face to Peter as if it never disappeared from the original character model. It’s the continuity you were looking for, and now made possible thanks to CarlosRPG5555.
You can even fully erase Ben Jordan from the game with the John Bubniak PS4 Photo Restoration Mod. This will change Peter’s image in all the photos he may appear in to Bubniak’s face, along with his dialogue box portrait.

100 Percent Save NG Plus, Or New Game Plus Ready
Mod By Gannan308 / Yukentseeme
Some elements that are different in Spider-Man 2 from even the previous titles in the series or other Spider-Man games are the longer and more challenging boss fights, tougher enemies and combat, as well as an overwhelming amount of side missions and collectibles. It can be quite daunting.

Alex Mercer
Mod By Dake / Deatholder 3
Alex Mercer is the cleverest mod created to replace Spider-Man. Since both the Spider-man and Prototype games are set in New York City, and the sequel allows you to have symbiote abilities and attacks, switching the character to Alex Mercer from the Classic Suit only makes sense and allows you to assume the role of the protagonist from the first Prototype game once again.
If you miss the nostalgia of Alex Mercer wreaking havoc with his symbiote-like abilities around New York in Prototype, you can reshape him into a hero and see him web glide, web swing, and web sling in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 courtesy of this mod. It’s the crossover you didn’t know could happen.

Customisable Venom V5
Mod By Puccchi And DHedge
Although Venom already has an excellent villain design in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, maybe you still want to be the comic artist yourself and customize the colors of Venom to your satisfaction. Well, you can with the Customisable Venom V5 by Puccchi and DHedge.
The Customisable Venom mod allows you to choose from a variety of colors to edit his body and features, including the eyes, wings, symbiote tendrils, and tongue. The examples by the modder show more Carnage-like pinks and dark reds to purple, white, and even the Anti-Venom Suit colors.
Maybe you also want to see a Fallen Venom crossover from Marvel’s Midnight Suns, one affected by Lilith’s magic and made even more menacing with green glowing eyes or horns like the devil:

Spider-Man Web Of Shadows Pack
Mod By DHedge
If you’re not happy with the extensive inventory of suits that you can unlock in the game or are feeling nostalgic for 2008’s Spider-Man: Web of Shadows, modder DHedge has you covered. The Spider-Man Web Of Shadows Pack gives Peter the original Web of Shadows Red Suit, Black Suit, and Black Suit without the symbiote texture, replacing the Advanced Suit, Symbiote Suit, and Classic Black Suit, respectively.

Coolest Comic Book References In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
From roof tops to photo ops, they’re all intentional callbacks.
While you may never get a remaster or remake of Web of Shadows, you can certainly don the classic designs as an homage to the game in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. These suits also all fit perfectly story-wise, considering Venom and the symbiote also played a major role in the Web of Shadows storyline.
Mod By AbdAshes
You probably won’t be spending too much time in the main menu screen of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, but now you might want to after implementing this mod by AbdAshes. It replaces the original music, the main theme, Greater Together, composed by John Paesano with Post Malone and Swae Lee’s Sunflower created for the animated Into the Spider-Verse film, which even earned a Grammy nomination.
Sunflower is a catchy and melodic rap track that will elevate the main menu music and give you extra boosts of hype and excitement before heading into the game. And since there are segments in the game that call back to the Spider-Verse films, it only makes sense to have Sunflower also added to the soundtrack.

AbdAshes’ Raimi, TASM, Or MCU Web SFX V2
Mods By AbdAshes
Audio modder AbdAshes implements something even more spectacular than just a change in the menu music, and that is having the actual sound effects from the iconic live-action Spider-Man movies make it into the game. You have the choice of playing around with the SFX from all three major franchises – Raimi’s Spider-Man, 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man, and the MCU films.
Not that Insomniac’s default sound effect isn’t already satisfying with each new swing and combat maneuver, but getting to hear and switch between the distinct web sounds from each of the main films inside the video game is quite a meta experience. The Amazing Spider-Man sound effect would indeed work quite well here, given that the Lizard appears in the game.

Raimi Black Suit Replaces Insomniac Symbiote Suits
Mod By Piqo101
While you can already unlock and own the Webbed Black Suit from Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, this mod will shake things up in a very fun way. Piqo101’s Raimi Black Suit replacement mod will allow you to have the 2007 Raimi suit now become the official Black Suit and Symbiote Suit for Peter instead of the default Insomniac styles.

Spider-Man 2: Best Suit Tech Upgrades
Which suit tech upgrades should you pick in Spider-Man 2? Let’s find out.
If you’re a big fan of the Raimi trilogy, this makes for a more neat and authentic roleplay of Peter Parker from Spider-Man 3 (aka Bully Maguire), especially when seeing yourself transform into this suit from your current one during Symbiote Surge and all the sequences with the bells. Combine it with the Raimi Web SFX mod for the full experience as well.
If you want to have retro and demake Spider-Man vibes with the gorgeous graphics of Spider-Man 2, Pcniado’s PC Spider-Man 2 Over PS5 Raimi will replace the PS5 version of the Raimi Webbed Spider-Man suit with the version from the original PC Spider-Man 2 game that launched in 2004.

Okangel’s Beyond NYC Atmosphere
Mod Created By Okangel
The Beyond NYC Atmosphere mod by okangel lets you upgrade the design of the entire NYC landscape and also remove the unnecessary yellow tint. This one doesn’t just offer a more realistic and natural color to the environment but also changes the weather systems to make it more representative of the real NYC.
The colors and reflections look much sharper and dynamic to boost the city’s overall visuals, with puddles from rainfall remaining on the streets as well. The glare and brightness of sunlight falling on buildings also just looks much better and helps remove some of the fiction from this comic book tale.

Venom As Inventory Slot (Modular)
Mod Created By Okangel
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 delivers on its Venom appearance. However, you don’t get to play as the iconic villain for a long time and can’t leave the mission area, meaning there’s not really much fun to be had as Venom. The best use of a PC mod definitely goes to okangel for allowing you to store the Venom model in place of the Classic Suit.
This means you’ll get to traverse the skies and fight as Venom with this amazing mod. You can even play through the entire game as the mighty symbiote villain if you desire, which is sure to make all the PS5 players jealous.
Going a step further than that, okangel allows you to fully complete your authentic transformation into Spider-Man 2’s Venom by modding out the standard web wings with Venom’s symbiote wings.
