The latest trailer for the new Marvel’s Spider-Man game reveals that everyone’s✅ favorite arachni⭕d-based hero will be teaming up with an old foe to battle a brand new one.
Shown at the Sony PlayStation Media Showcase at E3, the gave us tons of in⛦fo about the story as well as gameplay.
To start, Spider-Man has a brand new suit that hasn’t been seen in previous games or movies. It’s still clearly Spider-Man, but it’s nice to see a sure sign that Insomniac Games is looking to distance themselves from 2012’s poorly received The Amazing Spider-Man.
The trailer begins with Spider-Man slinging his way through an iconic Newܫ York cityscape before arriving at Fisk Tower still under construction. Speaking in his ear is Captain Yuri Watanabe, a character from the latest iteration of Spider-Man comics. Spidey immediately leaps into what seems like a stealth section of the game, which involves our hero 🐬leaping from iron beams far above the fray and using web-based techniques to incapacitate the bad guys (or at one point just plain ‘ol drop-kicking a dude).
Next up comes the real combat section, where Spider-Man is surrounded by a bunch of goons and has to defend himself. He manages this with the usual insane acrobatics and web-slinging that Spidey is known for, but also with a bullet-time mechanic that slows down combat and allows the player to make decisions on the fly. The trailer made every move look seamless, without the player taking any damage, according🎃 to his health meter. There was also a combo meter, a web meter, and a small radar display that is certain to be his “Spidey Sense”.
It looks like Marvel’s Spider-Man does a fantastic job of weaving 🐻gameplay in with cinematic cutscenes, and also includes some quick-time events as well.
But the story is where things seem to really take off. Spider-Man first comes to the rescue of what appears to be regular construction workers, but are soon revealed to be Wilson Fisk’s hired goons! They’re being attacked by a gang called “The Demons”, who are all under the command of a rival criminal mastermind, Mr. Negative. Spider-Man seems to recognize the villain as Martin Li, and the trailer ends with Spider-Man downing his getawa𒀰y helicopter and rescuing him from a fiery crash, only for Li to lunge at the hero at the very end.
Just a🥂fter the credits role, you see a young man turn toward the camera and his friend call out his name, “Miles”. This references Peter Parker's replacement Ultimate Spider-Man. Could this mean that the latest๊ Spider-Man game will feature Miles Morales as another Spider-Man?
Marvel’s Spider-Man will be coming to Playstation 4 sometime in 2018.
