"it's a very different experience to playing as Spider-man," the developer said, "and it stays real to her character, in terms of her background that she's a reporter for the day by day Bugle. It captures that feeling. also, the other thing for us is that, even though we're developing a superhero world in the fantasy, we thought it'd be interesting to show what it's like to be a character who does not have superpowers, what it's like to be that person in a superhero world, and actually control that character."
additionally, Insomniac's revealed Miles Morales – the "New" Spider-man – could be in the game, though the developer hasn't divulged many info.
when players do assume the hero, they will find themselves controlling a Spider-man already outfitted with all his powers from the jump, Intihar added. "it is not like you load up the game and he does not have any powers,” he told the outlet. "the first time you are swinging, the first time you are fighting, you want to feel like Spider-man."
