Spider-Man PS4: 11 Fan Demands That Must Happen
3. Out-Of-Suit Sections Need To Be Good
With that said, while focusing on Peter Parker could provide a great story twist, out-of-suit gameplay sections could end up being a total disaster if they're not done well. In previous titles, players have been put in control of the hero in regular environments but it's never been compelling, acting as more of a distraction rather than a substantial addition to the experience.
It was cool that they flirted around with RPG elements in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, letting players choose dialogue options and solve environmental puzzles, but nothing that you were allowed to do ever substantially effected the game itself. Going forward Insomniac could benefit from expanding on these RPG systems, perhaps even making your choices change the relationship Peter has with the people around him.
Deciding on conversation routes while talking to Aunt May or MJ, which then results in their future interactions with you being altered depending on the approach you take, could heighten the Peter Parker drama that has been severely absent from the series so far.
