Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 10 Things It MUST Include
2. Miles' Own Unique Combat Style
Marvel
One of the best moments in the announcement trailer only lasted for a second, and it was Miles swinging through the city.
His style wasn't as graceful or as confident as Peter's; more erratic and unsure, which really speaks to where Miles is at in his current career as Spider-Man. You can be sure Insomniac will translate the same approach to combat as well, spotlighting Miles' unique Venom Blast and invisibility powers to contrast with Peter's more gadget-focused move-set.
Miles has to play uniquely, and it certainly looks as though Insomniac are making sure that'll be the case. Both the Venom Blast and the character's trademark invisibility appeared in the trailer, and it's likely that players will get to use them in different ways - either in stealth or in head-to-head combat.
Of course, Peter doesn't have the monopoly and gadgets, and we know for a fact that Miles is an expert tech whizz himself. It'll be great to see how he puts a stamp on his own gadgets in the title, and whether or not Insomniac can nail the nuances in how he plays compared to Peter.
