Spider-Man is the perfect match-up of Insomniac DNA with Marvel's superhero
One of the very first things you'll do as the amazing eponymous webslinger in Marvel's Spider-Man on PS4 isn't defy gravity to swing from a skyscraper or to pick up a freight train with your bare hands or even to trade blows with a deadly villain in a life or death clash of titans.
Instead, you'll roll out of bed surrounded by discarded Chinese take-out boxes, slam some bread in a toaster, pointedly ignore some overdue bills stuffed under your door and pick up your discarded suit crumpled in a corner - before giving it a furtive sniff to decide whether or not you can get away with wearing it again. This is what Insomniac's Spider-Man is all about. You aren't just stepping into the figure-hugging onesie of an all-powerful hero - you're also becoming 23-year old Peter Parker, a vulnerable and very flawed young adult trying to find his place in the world, who may not always have doing laundry as his top priority.
"This is not an origins story," creative director Bryan Intihar tells us. "That's been done before, many times. This is not another story about 15-year-old Peter Parker taking pictures for the Daily Bugle, getting used to his powers. He's 23 now, he's been Spider-Man for 8 years. He's graduated college, he's pulling double duty as both scientist and superhero and in many ways we've been calling this his next coming of age story."
