Spider-Man PS4 Details On Combat, Leveling System, Gadgets And More

Check out all the Spider-Man PS4 details GameInformer shared in their latest issue. The details shared are about Spider-Man’s Leveling System, Gadgets, Combat, Side Activities and many other things.

New Spider-Man story details have slipped from the Game Informer coverage, and we’re ready to share them. Of course, considering the magazine had a chance to play the first portion of the adventure and have insight about what happens a bit further into it, please don’t proceed with your reading as the information below might be considered as spoilers. From now on, beware of spoilers about the story of Spider-Man for PS4.

First of all, in the game, Peter Parker is a rookie scientist. He knows Harry, and in “his” Manhattan City there are the Stark Tower and Wakandan embassy (despite at this stage we don’t have any sign of non-Spider-Man characters).

Fisk is the first villain we’ll take down in the adventure while Mr. Negative will have a central role at least in the early act Game Informer was shown. Aunt May works at a shelter run by Mr. Negative.

As it was hinted at during the last showcases of the title, Mary Jane Watson will have an important part in the story, and will also be a playable character. MJ knows Peter is Spider-Man, and they split around 6 months before the beginning of the game.

In the game, they have just reunited to work together, probably because she gets able to bring in information about Mr. Negative (our speculation), and in the missions, she is active even though not combatant: she won’t limit to walk around and hide when an enemy is spotted.

The game starts in Peter’s apartment, where we’ll be able to see photos from the Daily Bugle of several villains he contributed to sending to jail, like Vulture, Electro, Scorpion, and Rhino. They’re shown in that occasion, but we’ve not received any confirmation about their further presence in the title.

So, that’s it for now. Spider-Man is releasing on September 7 for PS4, and we hope to learn more in the next few months separating us from the official launch: stay tuned.

UPDATE

GameInformer’s Spider-Man PS4 details on Combat, Peter Parker, Suits, Leveling System, and many other things.

Suits

• You start off with the traditional suit
• They don’t explain the white spider but do explain some aspects of the new suit, the red parts on the suit are made for armor reinforcement, where he might get hit the most and the blue parts are used for flexibility in order to traverse easier
• They saw silhouettes of a dozen suits, but they said there would be more in the final game
• It seems like certain suits will have their own abilities

Combat

• It’s fast and fluid
• Spider-Man jumps from one enemy to the next with ease
• All about giving the player choices; webbing up and using items, fighting enemies in the air, using gadgets, finishing moves.

Peter Parker

• The part that they got to play with Peter Parker is the one we see in the PGW trailer at the F.E.A.S.T shelter
• Walk around the shelter interacting with various items, speaking to characters
• They compare it to those quiet moments in Uncharted games where people are walking around going about their business interacting with each other and various things in the environment

The Open World

• The city is densely packed with people and life. Saying that none of the details disappear when they are at a distance
• Can interact with citizens; take selfies with them, high five, finger guns
• Definitely Marvel’s Universe; Avengers building, Wakandan Embassy

Side Activities

• One has you grabbing various backpacks that Peter has webbed up in the past, the one they picked up in the demo had an image Spider-Man’s old web shooters
• Taskmaster has placed various bombs all over the city that need to be defused
• Earn crafting components for competing for these missions, bonus objectives during them give you more materials
• Outposts that are run by Kingpin need to be taken down
• Seems like Shocker bit from the trailer is tied into a side mission
• Random crimes happen; robberies (actually get to go into interiors), car chases.
• Take photos of some golden cats that are strewn about by Black Cat

Leveling System

• Gain experience for doing various tasks; finding landmarks, combat, exploration.
• Various traversal upgrades; swing speed, faster launching

Gadgets

• Tripwire which we’ve seen in the demo
• Web bomb which incapacitates a group of enemies at once
• Spider Drone which can shoot webs of its own at enemies

DLC “City Never Sleeps”

• Committed to keeping people engaged after the main story
• Each will feature a unique villain, storyline, missions, challenges, and suits
• First one is called “The Heist” and features the Black Cat

Minor Story Details

• Mary Jane and Peter are not together at the time
• The game opens up with having to take down Kingpin
• Opens up in Peter’s apartment showing some daily bugle cutouts of Vulture, Electro, Scorpion, and Rhino. Doesn’t confirm them as villains in the game, just that some cutouts of them getting captured by Spider-Man are there.
