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

8. New, Original Costume Designs

Spider-Man pS4 Miles Morales
Insomniac

While Peter Parker's super-threads have been chopped and changed in all sorts of ways since Steve Ditko first came up with the design - allowing Insomniac to deliver their own, wonderful take on the outfit in 2018's game - Miles Morales' wardrobe has remained almost static by comparison.

Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Miles' black and red outfit was designed by artist Sara Pichelli and it is near impossible to improve upon. The colour scheme, the placement of the webs and the symbol - all of it works so well together and it's great to see it recreated so faithfully in-game, as it's a testament to how great a design it is.

That being said, Miles hasn't really had too many wardrobe changes since his introduction in 2011. Given alternate costumes were such a beloved aspect of the previous title - and indeed the many other Spider-Man games that came before it - Insomniac may have to get a little creative with the outfits they do put in the game.

Given how great the Advanced Suit redesign was, it'd be pretty exciting to see what more the designers at the studio could come up with. Miles deserves to have as cool a wardrobe as Pete, and while there are alternate outfits to draw from - including stuff from Spider-Verse and the comics - this is a great opportunity for Insomniac to flex their creative muscles.

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.
