8 Reasons Spider-Man PS4 Is Already The Best Spider-Man Game Ever
7. The Focus On Spidey's Gadgets
Sony
Though past Spidey titles have endeavoured to get creative with the character's powers, none have really spotlighted Peter's talents as an inventor first and foremost. That looks set to change with the upcoming PS4 exclusive, and with environmental interaction a key focus, the chance to get extra creative with the wall-crawler's web-shooters should get every gamer's spidey-sense tingling.
Highlighting the web-slingers arsenal also seems to have taken some inspiration from the Arkham titles, which gave the Dark Knight a bevy of different gadgets to try out at various points in the story. And though it's true the developers haven't revealed all of what Spidey will be packing this time around, what they've shown off so far - web-grenades, and a gadget that can throw-off incoming rockets - all looks rather exciting.
The buck won't end there however, and with more devices - web-themed or otherwise - set to be included, this particular Spider-Man could yet boast an arsenal that would make the Caped Crusader himself green with envy.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
