Spider-Man PS4 New Trailer: 12 Things Everybody Missed

Yep, that's definitely the Shocker confirmed.

by Ewan Paterson

Spider-Man PS4 (or Marvel's Spider-Man, whatever it's called these days), got a new trailer yesterday, and it's safe to say it looks spectacular.

Focusing on the story more-so than the upcoming title's gameplay features, Insomniac's ascension to Sony's slice of Paris Games Week was a standout highlight from the conference. Fans have been clamouring for a good Spidey title for years now, and Insomniac - the guys behind everyone's favourite Lombax and his mechanical mate - seem to be the studio destined to deliver.

But what else did we learn from last night's trailer? There wasn't much in the way of gameplay this time around, with Insomniac instead opting to focus on the game's story elements for a change. Fans excited to learn more about the studio's interpretation of the Spidey mythos are bound to be pleased though, especially since they're doing something completely different with the license than what has previously been the case.

Not so much that it'll upset the Spidey faithful, but enough to differentiate their universe from others, much in the same way Rocksteady did with Batman: Arkham.

With easter eggs, villains, gameplay deets and more, last night's Spidey trailer has shown that it's a title every fan of the wall-crawler will want to get behind. Here are the things that slipped beneath the radar.

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.
