9 Video Game Plot Details EVERYONE Missed

9. You Can See Doc Ock's Transformation Over Time - Spider-Man (2018)

Providing you didn't cotton onto this by manually checking out Doctor Octavius' notes yourself across the game, one of the best realisations in 2018 comes from Ock materialising in front of your eyes, without you consciously knowing.

Brilliantly, Insomniac knew going in that we'd all be expecting the obvious from Otto, and the game opens on his robotic arms malfunctioning, only to return to normal straight after.

However, the white board behind Octavius does change across the game - both in the background of main story cutscenes, and if you check back into your office by visiting during the open-world.

Keep an eye on this board and you can literally chart Otto's descent into madness; the amount of forward planning he was doing for the game's big jailbreak sequence, and how he was "always" Doc Ock underneath this friendly facade, Peter - and you - just hadn't realised yet.
