Timeline
Spider-Man Miles Morales is set in New York City and occurs immediately after the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man.
There’re several pointers from the game’s title and teaser-trailer that Peter Parker will be taking a secondary when it comes to swinging through New York’s skyline.
Miles Morales is rumored to be the main protagonist of this game, as it’s been confirmed he’s the latest to suffer from a radioactive spider bite. From current info, it’s also possible Insomniac Games is planning for more releases with characters other than Peter Parker.
No one can say for sure if Peter Parker will feature as a masked crusader in this late 2020 release. But there’s an indication the main story may not be about him. On the flip side, many gamers would want to see Peter Parker don the webbed mask while swinging from high-rise buildings.
Also, when it comes to villains, there’s no strict timeline adhered to ensure better gameplay and a more immersive plot.
Is the Spider-Man PS5 game a Sequel or Standalone?
A lot of gamers have been mooting for a sequel to the Marvel’s Spider-Man released on PS4. But is the latest spider-man game sequel to its earlier release? Not really.
Prior to Insomniac’s tweet that Spiderman Miles Morales will be a standalone game, Sony’s Simon Rutter gave a conflicting assessment of the game.
After the Insomniac tweet and another input from Jason Schreier, it’s confirmed this Spiderman game will be a standalone installment.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales
Possible Plot
Miles Morales is the central figure in this game after he gets bitten by a radioactive spider in New York. The story follows his acceptance of what he’s become – the new Spiderman.
Although a detailed plot hasn’t been released yet, it’s highly likely Peter Parker will play a role in Miles Morales development. While we eagerly await the plot’s release, let’s go onto what we actually know.
Possible Villains
***SPOILER ALERT***
For gamers yet to complete previous installments in the Spiderman game franchise, this could be a great time to skip this section.
Several villains from the Spiderman universe featured in the 2018 release, with Devil’s Breath and Doc Ock subdued by Peter Parker.
There’s also a possibility of Norman and Harry Osborn taking a swipe at being The Goblin in this latest release. Though there’re several differences from the Osborn family featured in the first movie, anything can happen in the future.
And there’s a pointer to Norman Osborn being found in a secret lab in view of a biological tube. In this post-credits scene of the 2018 release, Harry Osborn is also seen looking at the green tube.
Also, another possibility that Venom could appear in this installment stems from the Osborn post-credit scene. When Norman Osborn touches the bio-tube, it is seen to react in a manner similar to Venom’s symbiote.
It’s certainly the latest Spiderman game will feature a lot of villains that have to be conquered. And it’s so comforting to know that Spiderman will come to the rescue.
Extra Features
Aside from featuring crispier graphics, more detail has focused on Spiderman’s suit, abilities, and environment. A lot of attention is placed on Spiderman’s suit with a darker, better-designed model seen in the trailer.
When it comes to abilities, it seems Spiderman will be sporting several high-tech features similar to the Marvel Spider-Man 2018 release.
Tech-Enhanced Enemies
Several enemies are seen in the Spiderman PS5 trailer to have several enhancements based on tech. These mods equip enemies to engage in a melee with Spiderman with weapons that morph into more powerful arms.
Based on this high-tech weaponry available to Spiderman’s enemies, several names have been mooted to feature as villains. But whatever comes, it’s certain Spiderman will save the day with sheer will.
Platform
It is confirmed that Spiderman will be a PS5 exclusive game will be out on Sony’s latest console hitting stores in holiday 2020.
Backward Compatibility with PS4
Several opinions on spider man ps5 leak Reddit users comment on believe this game’s latest installment may work on PS4 consoles. But no official word on the PS4 compatibility for the spider man new game has come from Sony or Insomniac Games.
Gameplay Controls
Based on the trailer’s short run time, there’s really no consensus on this game’s control pattern. But it’s probable that the game’s developers will stick to a third-person format used in earlier releases.
Since first-person controls won’t make sense on any Spiderman game, it’s more than a calculated guess that third-person over a dynamic environment should be what we expect.
Acceptance
This game has been met with wide acceptance since its announcement on June 11, 2020 for a late-year release.
The Spider-Man PS5 installment is certain to have numerous twists and turns that’ll intrigue gamers and keep us coming back for more.
With the info we now have, it’ll be more comfortable for us to enjoy our time with the masked crusader for justice when it hits stores in the holidays. In the meantime, let’s patiently wait for what Insomniac Games have up their sleeve.
