E3 2018: Everything We Learned From Sony's Spider-Man Demo

3. There's A Weapon (Gadget?) Wheel

Much like Batman, Spider-Man is a superhero who loves his gadgets. He may not have the same budget as the Dark Knight, but every weapon in his arsenal is designed to pack a punch and a purpose, with all manners of web bombs, traps and bullets forming the first three of what looks to be a possible eight gadgets to choose from.

Like Arkham (again), the gadgets look to be usable both in open confrontation and during stealth sections, making this particular wall-crawler the most versatile the medium's ever seen. It also makes for a refreshing chance for the character's gaming self, with previous pixelled depictions of the web-slinger having largely neglected Peter Parker's scientific nous.

It's yet another aspect of the project that helps players inhabit the character even further, and one that Spidey fans bored of past gaming interpretations are sure to appreciate - especially with the focus coinciding with the hero's science-y onscreen self in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
