The International trailer (below) for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 features some bits not found in the trailer released last week, including a funnier side of Spider-Man.

It’s not uncommon for a studio to release different trailers for different audiences. This trailer, featuring Dutch subtitles, shows a slightly different side to Spider-Man than the trailer we recently scoured for hints. Mostly the difference is in the tone.

From the music to the dialogue, the most notable difference between the two trailers is that Peter Parker/Spider-Man is funnier and seems to enjoy being Spider-Man more. It starts with Spidey crowing that he loves being Spider-Man, includes a gag with Aunt May, and then goes on to show New York City expressing its love for Spidey, including a cute little kid in a Spidey costume. It also shows Peter and Gwen in an adorable fight.

Beyond that though, there is one important piece of dialogue from Chris Cooper, who plays Norman Osborn, claiming that “we” have plans for Peter Parker. There is also more of a hint that Electro is working with others, as he tells someone “let’s go catch a spider.” No real surprise there, but new dialogue nonetheless.

The rest of the trailer shows new sides of the same scenes as before. We saw Electro and Spidey fighting in Times Square, but the new clip offers a few different glimpses of that brawl, including a new nickname Spidey gives Electro.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters on May 2, 2014. It was also recently confirmed that the series will spin off a handful of other movies, possibly beginning with Venom and then The Sinister Six.

What is the code to the Lizard’s lab in Spider-Man 2?

Dr. Connors, aka The Lizard, is forced back into his reptile state after Kraven injects him with his old serum in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. This would be bad enough, but he's also the only one who knows the truth about the symbiote and how to potentially get it off of Peter. Before that can happen, you need to track him down and inject him with the cure, and your search begins at his home in Queens. While exploring Connors' home, you discover that he had his own laboratory built underneath it for his experiments. Naturally, he wanted to keep this secret and put a passcode on the entrance. There's a small puzzle to uncover the code, and this isn't a puzzle you can skip. Here's how to open the lab.
How to open the Lizard's lab

After exploring Connors' home and finding the panel to the lab, you will see a screen with four colored panels with one to four dots on each in order. Each one plays a tone, so the code is asking you to find the right musical tone. The clue here is the sticker of the barn on the upper right. If you visited the baby's room on the upper floor, you will have heard the Old MacDonald song when interacting with a toy in the room. That's the tone you need to recreate. The correct order to press the keys is 4,4,4,1.

How to run the bases at Big Apple Ballers Stadium in Spider-Man 2
Peter and Miles leap in the air in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is bigger, bolder, and better in nearly every way compared to its two predecessors, offering new and expansive sections of New York City to explore during your quest for 100% completion. But if you're also looking to earn every trophy the game has to offer to earn the coveted Platinum, you've probably noticed a bronze trophy called "Home Run!" that asks you to run the bases at Big Apple Ballers Stadium. You don't have to hit a homer to score this trophy, but you do need to take a lap around the bases, so we'll tell you where to find Big Apple Ballers Stadium below so you can start living out your baseball legend dreams.
Where to find Big Apple Ballers Stadium
Big Apple Ballers Stadium is located in Downtown Brooklyn, which can be found at the very bottom of the southeast portion of the map. While it's a little difficult to make out the stadium on the map, you'll definitely be able to recognize it in-game as you swing closer, as it's quite a large stadium located not too far from the amusement park you visit as part of the story.

Of course, finding the stadium is only part of the equation for getting the Home Run! trophy. Once you reach the stadium, make your way to home plate and then run the bases in a counter-clockwise fashion (home, first, second, third, home) as if you'd just hit a home run.

How to change suits in Spider-Man 2
Spider-Man soars through the air in a biomechanical suit in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

Everyone knows the iconic Spider-Man suit. The red-and-blue spandex uniform has been iterated on and altered hundreds of times over the course of decades, leading to some similar and some very different designs. Spider-Man 2 introduces Venom and the symbiote suit to the mix as a plot point, but there are almost 70 total suits from various comics, shows, and movies to unlock and wear between Peter pParker and Miles Morales. Unlocking them is one thing, but changing between them, and their new styles, is another. With this guide, you will be able to change your spider style as fast as our heroes when duty calls.
How to change suits

Once you've snagged your first additional suit and used some Tokens to unlock it, changing between them is a breeze. Simply open your menu, go to the Suits tab, and highlight the one you want to wear. If you want to switch between Peter and Miles, simply hit L2 or R2 to cycle between the Spider-Men since each has their own unique set of suit options. Press X on the suit you want to wear and -- bam! -- your Spider-Man is now decked out in a new style. However, that's not all. Many suits have additional styles you can unlock by spending some Tech Parts. These give you three additional color options for that specific suit to further customize your look.
