We review the key points of the new Spider-Man, from his explosive powers to his motivations: with great power comes great responsibility.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the new AAA standalone video game exclusive to PlayStation systems (PS4 and PS5) by Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios starring the young Miles Morales, a fervent follower of Peter Parker’s Spider-Man that we already got to know in the original installment Marvel’s Spider-Man and that now, following in the footsteps of his mentor, he picks up the baton of Spider-Man to become the arachnid hero of his new neighborhood. Let’s learn more about this new Spider-Man in an explosive adventure that will challenge us to take advantage of his extraordinary invisibility and electrical poison abilities in the midst of a fight between two powers that threaten to destroy his new home.
A new Spider-Man is born
Miles Morales is a 17-year-old young man who recently moved from the Brooklyn neighborhood to Afro-Latino Spanish Harlem after the events of Marvel’s Spider-Man. Miles is a very dynamic teenager who likes video games and electronic music, as well as showing a great interest in science and playing sports such as basketball. All while leading a double life as a superhero, trying to adjust to his new home in Marvel’s upstate New York.
After almost a decade of jumping and swinging between buildings in Marvel’s New York by Spider-Man, suddenly its inhabitants see how the famous superhero has multiplied by two. At first, two Spider-Man could be seen training on rooftops and alleys, with Miles following in his mentor’s footsteps. Now, with Peter Parker out of town, comes the key moment for this new Spider-Man and his explosive superpowers. And is that to be Spider-Man, you have to understand that great power comes with great responsibility.
A Spider-Man to discover
Spider-Man displays very recognizable powers, such as super strength, super agility, the ability to throw webs or the arachnid sense, although this time he will surprise players through the use of electrical attacks, both melee and area, plus camouflage capabilities to make yourself invisible to the naked eye and a one-touch paralyzing attack, just like a spider bite. All of this makes Marvel’s Spider-Man; Miles Morales is a video game with a very recognizable playability but that will surprise those who already enjoyed the original Marvel’s Spider-Man at the time. Let’s learn more about the powers of the new Spider-Man.
Poison strike
The new Spider-Man unleashes his full potential through his longtime combat techniques such as devastating blows and ultra-fast movements, in addition to the always iconic cobwebs. But this time he will have a relentless paralyzing attack, known as a poison strike, that will paralyze his rivals either at ground level or in the air; Of course, this technique needs a reasonable amount of time to use it again, so you will not be able to use it continuously. All this adds a strategic touch to the fighting, which is undoubtedly enhanced by its other great superpower: camouflage.
Invisible camouflage
And it is that the new Spider-Man can also resort to a stealth mode that will allow to gain advantageous positions in the fighting, both before the fray and in the middle of the fight. Of course, again it is vital to use this power with a head, since invisibility does not last forever and at the first attack movement, the effect will disappear, again needing some time to use it again.
Chaos in the city of skyscrapers
Marvel’s New York is involved in another dangerous situation; and it is that two factions are unleashing chaos in its streets and the new Spider-Man will have to take action on the matter when he finds himself in the middle of a relentless urban war. So much so, that the new arachnic superhero will have to defend his home from the continuous confrontations between the energy mega-corporation Roxxon and his private army and the criminal group Tinkerer, whose members equip powerful exosuits with metal whips. The new Spider-Man must make use of his explosive skills to avoid that this confrontation causes too much collateral damage to the inhabitants of his beloved Harlem and the rest of the city, facing high-caliber technological weapons on the part of both sides.
In Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the new Spider-Man is the absolute protagonist of this new AAA action adventure that will take advantage of the new features of PS5, although PlayStation 4 players will also be able to enjoy a custom version. And it is that the new PS5 hardware will allow the new Insomniac Games video game to shine at the highest level with almost instantaneous charges thanks to the ultra-fast SSD charging technology, the ray tracing that will enhance the details of the characters, reflections, lights and shadows or 4K resolution with HDR to feel like the new Spider-Man is real; In addition, it will be possible to squeeze the performance mode to 60 FPS to achieve superior image fluency.
