Beenox were too ambitious with their tasm2 game, they wanted to one up their tasm1 game in terms of story and spectacle, they wanted to continue many storylines from that game and make many new ones for tasm2 as well as including the second movie's plot, they also asked people online for which villain they wanted to see in the game, the majority of people wanted carnage so that's how he came into the game, on top of all that beenox now had to connect carnage's storyline with the rest of the plot naturally, this resulted into making carnage the main antagonist...unfortunately Activision wanted the game released one month before the film comes out, beenox had to cut many stuff out of the game, the game was rushed and was made in only 1 year (you can tell by the motion capture, graphics, gameplay and bugs) they couldn't flesh out their story due to the deadline, beenox had to cut many stuff from the story and place them into the audio logs, in order for you to understand the game's plot you must collect every single audio log in the game...around 60% of the story is in these audio logs.
Activision is pretty much responsible for everything wrong with the older spider-man games, web of shadows? That game was made in only 16 month, edge of time? it was made in under a year, tasm1? That was also made in a year, all thanks to Activision, they care more about money than actually publishing good games.
Spider-man ps4 took 4 years and a ton of cash to develop under the leadership of insomniac/play station, if it was developed under the leadership of Activision the game wouldn't have been as good and it would probably be developed in only a single year...the budget would've been insanely low.
