E3 2016: 9 Things To Expect From Spider-Man On PS4

2. If Sucker Punch Is Involved, It's Bound To Look Gorgeous

Spider-Man's most dedicated true believers are dead set that Sucker Punch - the developers behind the inFamous franchise - have been entrusted in bringing the wall-crawler to the current gen. Whether or not that's the case, if the studio are behind such a title we can be guaranteed of at least one thing: it's going to look beautiful.

It's something of a cliche these days to big-up PlayStation exclusives as graphical titans, but I'd be lying if I said they weren't. Both inFamous: Second Son and Uncharted 4 showcased the power of the PS4 immaculately, and as Sucker Punch are yet to make a misstep with their visual displays so far, Spider-Man could be about to receive the best graphical treatment he's been given yet.

This goes double for the incredible environmental effects the Sony studio have created in the past, and with the Marvel Universe already having such a vast array of powered characters in the first place, the potential for some truly jaw-dropping visuals is extremely high.

Going one step further and giving fans some dynamic weather would be particularly impressive, especially since past Spider-Man games have never really stretched beyond a dry New York setting.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
