Spider-Man PS4 Players Are Still Holding Out Hope For The ‘Sam Raimi Suit’

Spider-Man for PlayStation 4 includes dozens of suits that players can wear during the game, each drawing from a different piece of the character’s comic book past or recent cinematic appearances. There’s the Scarlet Spider, or the suit from the recent film Homecoming. But there’s one suit that is conspicuous by its absence, and fans…

Fahey’s Top 10 Games Of 2018

While I spent a sizable chunk of 2018 in a hospital, I did manage to squeeze in time with some very good games. From virtual reality mice to the rebirth of a cool dragon, here are my 10 favorite games of the year. CrossCode If massively-multiplayer online role-playing games were around during the age of…

New Jordans Are Based On Miles Morales’ Spider-Man

Nike’s upcoming Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Origin Story” is a mouthful to say out loud, but it’s a beauty to behold. Moreso when you find out it’s based on Miles Morales’ turn as Spider-Man. Made to coincide with the release of the animated film Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, they take the Jordan’s classic…

Spider-Man Cosplay Copies PS4 Gameplay

This is Ronnie Street Stunts, who is not just dressed as Spider-Man, but is specifically recreating some of his animations from the latest PS4 game. The vid below doesn’t just show his stunts, but also compares them directly to gameplay footage to show just how close he gets it!

This is Friggin Boom Toys, who we last saw getting his head smacked around in the name of science. Now he’s dressed up as Spider-Man Noir and running around an indoor parkour centre to see if the suit holds up.

WWE Star Spends Precious Airtime On Very Relatable PS4 Storage Issue

“I’m thankful for my two terabyte hard drive, so that I don’t have to delete Spider-Man in order to download Red Dead 2,” WWE wrestler Xavier Woods said during a Thanksgiving segment on the Smackdown wrestling TV show last night. You can see him make that statement, which garnered an “amen” from one of the…

The Art Of Insomniac’s Spider-Man

Insomniac’s Spider-Man for the PS4 is out, it’s good and it looks good. Because of that, let’s take a look at a range of concept and promotional art that went into the game’s creation. Most of the images you’ll see below are also available in Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Art of the Game, a new book…

Spider-Man’s Turf Wars DLC Is Short And Uneven

I didn’t know how much I liked Felicia Hardy until she was missing from Turf Wars, the second chapter in Spider-Man’s The City Never Sleeps DLC, released today. The cat burglar’s duplicity and romantic chemistry with Peter Parker, the highlight of chapter one, are replaced in this latest outing by the sociopathic antics of old-school…

The next chapter in Spider-Man’s The City That Never Sleeps DLC, called Turf Wars, is out November 20. While it adds new story missions based around the crime boss Hammerhead, the DLC also brings new challenges, trophies, and Spidey suits, including the Spider-Armor MK, Iron Spider, and Spider-Clan Suits.

Stan Lee’s recent cameo in Marvel’s Spider-Man was more of a direct fourth-wall break than some of his other appearances. It was also pretty lovely, I thought. Rest in peace, Mr. Lee.

Spider-Man’s Heist DLC Is Fun But Familiar

My favorite part of the new downloadable addition to the new Spider-Man on PS4 involves a hungry and exhausted Peter Parker eating a pizza on the roof of an apartment building with the city skyline behind him. Warring mob families, stolen art, a love triangle between the Black Cat Mary Jane can all wait. Everybody’s…

Finally, Players Can Add As Many Puddles To Spider-Man As They Want

A week before Spider-Man released, some people on the internet started freaking out about the game’s apparent lack of puddles. There were a lot of puddles in an early trailer for the game, and later, not as many puddles in what appeared to be the same location, which some saw as a downgrade. Fortunately, they…

Spider-Man’s New Game+ mode has finally been added to the game. Version 1.07 also adds an Ultimate difficulty setting, new frames and stickers for photo mode, and the ability to access photo mode directly with one button press. New Game+ was originally expected at the game’s launch but got delayed

Insomniac Says Spider-Man’s New Game Plus Isn’t Coming Tomorrow After All

Spider-Man’s new game plus and ultimate difficulty mode were originally expected at launch but were delayed. Today, a post went up on the European PlayStation Blog that at first said both features would arrive tomorrow, October 17, in the game’s 1.07 update. Insomniac Games now says that information was a mistake. Spider-Man came out over…

We Love How Stupid The Venom Movie Is

Three decades ago Marvel Comics debuted one of its most popular anti-heroes, Spider-Man arch-enemy Venom. Now Eddie Brock and his slavering black and white symbiote pal have gotten a solo, Spider-Man free shot at the big screen. Did that turn out to be as bad an idea as it sounds? Chris Person, Ethan Gach and…

Chef Andrew Rea of the show Binging With Babish has recreated some of the best recipes from Spider-Man from Peter’s dumplings to Aunt May’s wheat cakes. Maybe try cooking them yourself?

Spider-Man, One Month Later

Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 doesn’t have an online mode, or microtransactions. For a game of its size, it’s gotten surprisingly few patches since it first came out. Still, it turned out to be one of the more exciting releases of the year and had an active first month. A few days before the game came…

Spider-Man 2 Should Let You Play As A Journalist

When Insomniac releases a sequel to this year’s smash hit Spider-Man for PS4, don’t you think Mary Jane should get some journalism gameplay? This week on Kotaku Splitscreen, we discuss. I’m back from my honeymoon and there’s lots to discuss, starting with our first impressions of the new open-world game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Then, Kirk…

Spider-Man’s Text Message Scene Is Perfect

There are a lot of good cutscenes in the PS4’s new Spider-Man game. My favorite one was all about a text message conversation. Around halfway through the main story, there’s an act break. Spider-Man has caught Mister Negative, a.k.a. Martin Li, and in the process reconnected with his sort-of-ex-girlfriend Mary Jane Watson. In this Spider-Man…

Let’s Go Through Everything That Happened In Spider-Man PS4

When players aren’t caught up in solving random crimes, performing optional missions or basking in the sheer joy of swinging around Insomniac’s New York City, Spider-Man for the PS4 tells a classic Spidey tale that shouldn’t be missed. In case you are missing it, here’s what happens. What follows is a chapter-by-chapter retelling of the…
