10 Reasons Spider-Man PS4 Is The PERFECT Spider-Man Movie
5. Full Of Fan Service And Love-letters To The Comics
Spider-Man has been on quite a journey since his inception in 1962. Over the last fifty years, there have been several comic book franchises each portraying the character in a different setting and context.
The Amazing Spider-Man, Ultimate Spider-Man and Into the Spider-Verse are just a few renditions that have kept up the superhero's popularity over the years. In addition, he's also had just as many crossovers with Daredevil, the Avengers and countless other Marvel characters. When developing their game for PS4, Insomniac saw fit to include a heap of references, classic material and variation woven into the core design.
This mainly shows through the many different suits Spider-Man can wear; from the Iron Spider suit seen in Avengers: Endgame all the way down to the classic vintage suit, these unlockables offer both a nostalgic spin on the game's aesthetic, while also drastically varying up the combat with their varying abilities.
But it doesn't stop there; initially you can swing around and find various backpacks, which include countless references to key moments in Peter Parker's life. Listening to the character reminisce on his past deeds allows the player to fill in the gaps without having to sit through any recaps, and the game is all the better for it.
