But will Spider-Man PS4 become Spider-Man PC. If Spider-Man is your thing then this is an essential purchase. Spider-Man is out now on PS4, and by all accounts is a great game worthy of the hero. It’s remarkably well realised in terms of its world, design, and even technically, with short loading times and a rock solid framerate even on the base PlayStation 4. From swinging through the city at high speed to fighting off legions of enemies by zipping between them and pulling them into the air, its gameplay looks like a scene from the films. Marvel’s Spider-Man does a spectacular job of making you feel like the ultimate Spider-Man. The game was one of our highest rated titles of 2018. Similarly Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier (briefly) poo-pooed the idea on Twitter. In our opinions, it was likely a bit too early for a Spider-Man 2 to be coming, the first Insomniac web-slinging adventure coming at the end of 2018. There was a lot of speculation as to what Insomniac were working on in the run up to the event. It’s not the only game that Insomniac are working on for the PlayStation 5, with the reveal of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart also announced for the next-gen console. Highly-detailed character models and enhanced visuals across the game intensify the story of Miles Morales as he faces great, new challenges while learning to be his own Spider-Man. With PS5’s ultra-fast SSD, players can near-instantaneously fast-travel across Marvel’s New York City, or feel the tension of each one of Miles’s web-swings, punches, web shots, and venom blasts with the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback. Players will experience the rise of Miles Morales as he masters new powers to become his own Spider-Man. The latest adventure in the Spider-Man universe will build on and expand Marvel’s Spider-Man through an all-new story. It’s already up and running on the system, so why not create a new story in that game engine, and enhanced it for the new console?
Still, it makes sense, when the game has been used to showcase the capabilities of the PlayStation 5’s SSD. The 2018 Spider-Man was a huge hit for Sony – it remains Sony’s fastest-selling first party game of all time – but to see a sequel or spin-off so soon is somewhat surprising.
