One of the things we stumbled upon during our Marvel’s Spider-Man demo this week is an in-game social media feed, which you’ll find in the open world exclusive’s menu screen. This fictional Twitter updates constantly as you progress through the game, with the web-slinger updating the world on his adventures.
Some of the responses to Peter Parker’s messages had us howling, as it’s abundantly clear that Insomniac Games has been paying close to attention to the way people use real-world social media platforms. It all helps make the city feel more alive, which is something creative director Bryan Intihar talked about in our interview.
“A lot of what makes New York City memorable is the people, and so we didn’t want to make a game where something happens early on and everyone disappears [or is evacuated],” he said. “We wanted the city to react to the events that happen, and we wanted the people to reference things that are happening in the game.”

I’ll admit I laughed real hard in public lol
That sounds so cool. A new idea for sure. This will be my main interaction with Twitter in life most likely lol.
That’s a fantastic idea. I’m loving every new thing that I learn about this game. The hands-on preview pushed me into preorder mode. So ready for September.
@Spider-Man Last week you swung past my apartment and left some dirty footprints in my windowsill, plus that nasty gunk that comes out of your hands is still stuck on my outside walls. I would appreciate if you would come and clean this mess up please.
This game looks awesome, I prefer batman but arkham knight sucked big time!!!!
@Spider-Man is another lie created by the media #fakenews
For those who ran through GTAV missions at 500mph, can't even walk like every other player at the start of an Online mission and don't check anything else: Bleeter and Lifeinvader gets updated with the current events you know.
They've had a similar thing for the past few years in Madden/NBA games but it'll be cool to see it in this context.
@Jriibz love your icon haha
So, like Leafbook in NNK2?
