This Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales article contains spoilers. Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales tells an epic but personal story over the course of its approximately 15-hour campaign, which ends in explosive fashion, with Miles bidding farewell to his tragically misguided best friend Phin Mason/The Tinkerer high above Roxxon Plaza when she gives her life to set right all the reckless things she did in her revenge crusade against the evil tech corporation.  It’s a great game in and of itself, but it’s also a part of the larger Spidey-verse that Insomniac is building with its Marvel games, with references to…

Does Peter Parker Die in Spider-Man: Miles Morales?

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an interesting follow-up to the critically-acclaimed 2018 PS4 hit, not only because it follows Spidey-in-training Miles but also because it’s not being marketed as a mainline sequel. In truth, while it continues many of the story threads from the original game, Miles Morales‘ approximately 15-hour story campaign is more like a standalone expansion designed to showcase the next-gen power of the PlayStation 5. That’s not to say Miles Morales isn’t a great game in its own right. In our review, we called the PS5 launch title “a full-bodied game with a compelling, emotional story at…

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Review

At the dawn of a new console generation, Insomniac Games brings us the PlayStation-exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, a continuation of the studio’s excellent Marvel’s Spider-Man. It’s a full-bodied game with a compelling, emotional story at its heart, and while much of the game will feel familiar to those who have played its predecessor, the storytelling and characters have a distinctive tone that sets the game apart. The story picks up one year after the conclusion of the first game, with teenage hero Miles Morales sitting under Peter Parker’s proverbial learning tree, helping the OG webhead keep New York City…

Is Spider-Man: Miles Morales Going to Be on PS4 and PC?

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is being touted as an amazing follow-up to Marvel’s Spider-Man as well as one of the PlayStation 5’s best launch games by Sony, as we head into the next generation of console gaming. It’s certainly true that a blockbuster first-party exclusive like Miles Morales could help Sony’s next-gen console beat out the powerful Xbox Series X this holiday. While Miles Morales isn’t a “full” sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man but more of a next-gen expansion starring the fan-favorite Spidey in training, everything that we’ve seen of the game thus far suggests it feature the same brilliant open-world…

When we told you about a suit that will let Miles Morales team up with his new best friend Spider-Man (the bodega cat), we were confident we’d reported on the best unlockable suit that you’d find in Spider-Man: Miles Morales. That is until Insomniac released this stunning gameplay preview of a Miles Morales suit based on the Into the Spider-Verse movie: That Spider-Verse suit (which is available early to those who pre-order the game but will be unlockable for all players) is truly a work of art. Somehow, Insomniac managed to completely change Miles Morales’s animations whenever he has the…

As you may recall, we recently talked about how Spider-Man Remastered recasts Peter Parker’s facial actor as part of Insomniac’s extensive attempt to update the PS4 game to take advantage of the PS5’s capabilities.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Unleashed Spider-Cat to Save the Day!

We thought we couldn’t be more excited about Spider-Man: Miles Morales until Game Informer went and released a new gameplay video that showcases Spider-Cat in action. We’re not going to lie, the following story is very cute. It seems that at some point during his adventure, Miles Morales will be tasked with rescuing a local bodega cat who, for unknown reasons we won’t pry into in accordance with the laws that dictate our ability to interfere with the business of bodega cats, has found himself trapped in a warehouse full of thugs. In any case, Morales soon dispatches of the…

Spider-Man 3 Adds Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is set to become a game-changing addition to the increasingly perplexing ensemble being assembled for the yet-to-be titled Spider-Man 3. Indeed, the habitual usage of “made-up names” now seems likely. The film, following up on Sony Pictures’ Marvel Cinematic Universe-crossing version of Spider-Man, as played by Tom Holland, will see Cumberbatch reprising his role as Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme, according to THR. Moreover, the report confirms a notion regarding the addition of Doctor Strange that seems to be obvious, namely that it will fill the crucial gap of a mentor to the young hero left in the…

Link Tank: How Jamie Foxx’s Electro Will Fit in MCU’s Spider-Man 3

Jamie Foxx is reportedly returning as Electro in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 3, but how will it work with his part in The Amazing Spider-Man series? “As someone who enjoyed the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies, I will say this: Jamie Foxx deserved better than The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I didn’t hate it as much as others, but it is super cheesy in that comic book movie feel from the late ’90s that doesn’t really make sense since it was made in 2014. And it did still fridge Gwen Stacy … again, in 2014.” Read more at The Mary Sue. Hispanic Heritage…

Jamie Foxx to Return as Electro in Spider-Man 3 for Some Reason

Jamie Foxx has been cast as Electro in Sony and Marvel’s still-untitled Spider-Man 3. (checks calendar) Nope, it says October 1st and not April 1st, so this is legit. THR broke the perplexing news. Foxx previously played the role in the dismal The Amazing Spider-Man 2, a movie so loathed that it not only forced another reboot of the franchise (despite the fact that a third film and a Sinister Six spinoff had already been given release dates) but also brought Sony and Marvel Studios to the negotiating table to allow them to “share” Spidey with the MCU, a historic,…

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered Recasts Peter Parker’s Actor

Insomniac has revealed new details about Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered, and the biggest news may just be that the extent of the remaster’s visual upgrades required the studio to recast Peter Parker’s actor. “In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker,” reads a blog post from Insomniac Games community director, James Stevenson. “We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal’s facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model…

Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered: Why Peter Parker’s New Design Is Controversial

Developer Insomniac Games has recast Peter Parker’s face model in Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered in an attempt to better utilize the visual upgrades offered by the PS5 and to set the series up for its future on the next-gen console. When Peter Parker appears on the PS5, it’ll be with the face of Ben Jordan and not John Bubniak. As you might expect, the fan reaction to this change has been…interesting so far. In fact, the first thing that most people pointed out is that Peter Parker’s new face actor bears more than a passing resemblance to current big-screen Spider-Man actor,…

New Retro Marvel Legends Figures From Hasbro Includes Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther

Hasbro’s long-running action figure line, Marvel Legends, is being expanded…with a nostalgic twist. Pop culture in the year 2020 is a peripheral cycle of reboots and remixes that serve to prove the cliché that everything old is new again true once more. Not that this is an unwelcome thing.  Even the most cursory of glances at the current news cycle makes nostalgia a cherished old friend right about now. So as someone whose current job description is perhaps best summed up as “professional dweller in the past,” I can tell you from firsthand experience that nostalgia is one of the…
