heads up hey where you going New York web slinging crime-fighting this is insomniac games spider-man and the rest of the game lives up to our preview we're looking at another contender for game of the year but this isn't just any Spidey you've seen before this is a new Peter Parker not based off a single comic or movie and designed specifically by insomniac for this game the characters no matter where they are they always like pop off the screen so in terms of what's classic about spider-man obviously the red and the blue I looked at did Co suit which is very classic very clean and I especially loved the web patterning that you see on the classic classic suit where again there's a lot of room to breathe characters very graphic on screen if you're super spider-man fan you'll know that spider-man doesn't only come in red and blue he comes in a bunch of different colors so it's really cool to just get that super wide variety there are a lot of suits and you will not be disappointed my time was with the first few hours of the game and in that time I got to swing through the city beat up bad guys and sling webs every way I could we didn't want to do an exact one-to-one replication of the city we wanted to make Peter Parker's New York City we want to make spider-man's New York City and at this point of the game spider-man has been spider-man for eight years so he's been protecting to say the entire time and they all know him so the city of Shu reacts to spider-man as the game evolves and the story evolves and I think that's one of the cooler things about our city is that it really does reflect the narrative there's a lot going on in the city and swinging Spidey around town takes a little bit of getting used to but once you have a feel for the controls you'll be launching between skyscrapers with ease I don't want to give too much story away but you'll definitely see some familiar faces as for combat insomniac says it wanted an improvisational feel and it seems to have succeeded you have a pile of abilities at your disposal during fights from melee juggling to your web slinger x' to gadgets and you'll also be able to use the surrounding environment to your advantage if you're wondering about collectibles it looks like spider-man is full of them I caught six different kinds of tokens for Peter to snag including tokens for finding his old backpack strewn around town and if you're hoping for good Easter eggs come on this is insomniac we're talking about there's time Easter eggs new game there's tons for Marvel fans there a ton for insomnia fans and they're just a ton of Easter eggs just in general for gamers spider-man swings onto PlayStation 4 on September 7th
