There are many reasons why people like the Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise from Insomniac Games. It’s true that thanks to the PS4 and PS5, these games look gorgeous, and they’re only going to get better as they make more titles in the line. Plus, the gameplay is fluid and dynamic, making you feel like the Spider-Men while also having different attacks and abilities for both to use, making each unique. But the real reason that most praise the titles is the stories and portrayals of the characters. Peter Parker, Miles Morales, and others shine within the game in the best ways, and gamers gravitated to that.
While the Spider-Man 4 news has been inconclusive concerning what direction the film will take due to behind-the-scenes disagreements, a new rumor suggests that fans will likely get the long-awaited debut of Miles Morales.
When it comes to big game releases, there are sometimes titles that get the “Oh my gosh, this is amazing!” statement when they first arrive, and then, over time, that feeling changes. Why is that? Well, it’s partially because some people are just so hyped to get the game that they enjoy everything for what it is at first but then slowly realize that some flaws are holding the game back. A certain title from Bethesda in 2023 comes to mind on that front, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is the title we’re talking about right now.
The nominations for this year's Gayming Awards 2024 have been announced, and somewhat predictably, Baldur's Gate 3 has managed five nominations across four categories.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is set to receive its long-awaited New Game Plus mode in a free update on March 7, and in a lengthy update on the PlayStation Blog, Insomniac Games has revealed the finer details on everything else the update will add to the game.
As promised by developer Insomniac Games a couple of weeks ago, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will receive the highly anticipated New Game Plus mode in early March, specifically on Thursday the 7th.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is finally adding its long-awaited New Game Plus mode soon, along with additional costumes and accessibility features. Insomniac finally released Spider-Man 2 on the PlayStation 5 last October to much critical and commercial success, with the game quickly becoming one of the developer's highest-selling titles of all time. As both Peter Parker and Miles Morales, players are tasked with defending New York City from a multitude of classic comic book villains, including Kraven the Hunter and a reimagined version of Venom.
