Spider-Man: Miles Morales - 10 Things It MUST Include

1. Brooklyn! (And A More Interactive Open World)

This might be a bit of a long shot, given the scale of the title appears to be more in line with Uncharted: Lost Legacy than say an out-and-out sequel, but any Miles Morales game simply HAS to have Brooklyn in there somewhere.

Granted, Peter Parker has starred in plenty of Spider-Man games and Queens has only been featured in one of them (that being 2005's Ultimate Spider-Man), but this is still a follow-up to the 2018 game at the end of the day and improvements should be made to the map. Brooklyn is Miles' home, and it'd be great to see him moving in and out of the borough either while he's commuting to and from school, or to and from being Spider-Man.

One other really important thing Spider-Man's open world needs? A more interactive environment. New York has never looked better in a game than in Insomniac's 2018 hit, but players should be given more opportunities to engage with it instead of just taking photographs and stopping crimes. Let players stop by a local pizza place to replenish their energy after a hard night's patrol, or maybe even a little coffee shop to keep them going between confrontations? It is winter after all, and adding those little interactions would add so much charm to a city already dripping with character.

Basically, give players more interiors and more distractions. Insomniac have such an amazing environment on their hands and it'd be a huge shame if it ever went to waste.

1. Who Voices Peter Parker/Spider-Man?

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.
