Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is the biggest next-gen launch game going right now, and we can't wait to catch our next glimpse of it in action following Sony's Future of Gaming event back in June. Entertainment Weekly has helped us along that path, however, with a brand new screenshot of the PlayStation 5 title. It doesn't really give anything away, but it's still a new shot of the web-slinger in action. And honestly, right now, we'll take anything we can get -- this has been a very, very quiet week.
Nevertheless, the screenshot lends more support to the wintery setting of New York and what looks to be a stunning set of PS5 visuals. Entertainment Weekly writes: "The animation, the movements, the mechanics, even his powers (including bioshock and invisibility) aren't just unique tricks for this character, they are metaphors for that hero's journey the pair keep mentioning. Peter's origin "was born out of tragedy" — i.e. the death of his Uncle Ben — but Horton mentions Miles "is more so born out of family. What I think is really compelling about Miles as a character is he has friends that he could actually let into his world — his human world and his Spider world. He's a little different in the way he approaches it."
Consider us hyped for this standalone game. Are you just as excited? Wall crawl in the comments below.

Well, I couldn't be less excited, I'm afraid.
Love the focus on those Ray traced puddles lol! Can't wait play this on launch day!!!
Uh oh...puddles.
Seriously though, that's a lot of recent PlayStation love from Entertainment Weekly. Their August issue had Ghost of Tsushima as No. 1 on their Must List, and it also had a snippet on The Last of Us Part II.
@redd214 Me either. It looks gorgeous.
PS5 for me starts with Demon Souls :3
God this looks good. Sony really has been teaching a masterclass on how to properly show off your games lately in my opinion. If MS isn’t taking notes they’re idiots.
Nice sense of humour with Insomniac teasing the Internet trolls again..."you want puddles? Fine,deal with these next gen puddles!"
Looks so good, I love the winter setting.
Sony out here reminding people that they still have a big launch game.
Hm, I notice this is clearly the same landing pose in the first game. In that regard, I'm hoping Miles isn't just a reskin of Peter. There definitely better be some new swinging animations at the very least.
Really hope they don't recycle Peter's rogues gallery and use villains like Aaron Davis/Prowler or inspiration from the Ultimate versions of certain villains associated with both Spider-Men
@art_of_the_kill not that many ways to swing really though, is there?

@art_of_the_kill
From the article:
this will definitely be a day one buy as well.
Look at that RT (and fast loading time), can't wait for this game
Wow, thank you so much Sony, your really spoiling us......
@TheFrenchiestFry spider-men...spider-mans, which one is correct? 😀
@ellsworth004 spider-people?
Next show I would love that see Spiderman+Horizon gameplay and some more 1st party reveals if possible.
Ray-traced reflections, as confirmed by an Insomniac dev. I can’t believe the salty ones are trying to play this off as a current-gen looking expansion. If you compare this with PS4’s Spiderman, it is a huge leap in overall IQ.
@MarcG420 @art_of_the_kill They mentioned that, because Miles is still new at this web slinging, his animations will reflect that as well.
@DeepSpace5D But but but, it's only DLC
Getting more and more excited for this.
So there's this, Kena, and Cyberpunk for Christmas... I might have to take some more time off.
I wonder if there are going to be Easter eggs like... say Craig reflecting in a puddle? 🤔

I'm not sure how to get images up on here, but ya a huge jump in quality.
@ellsworth004 Spider-Men. There's a comic miniseries about it too.
They can't be bothered to create original heroes for us PoC ?
@Dominatso
I'd say Sony has been pretty solid on creating new I.P.s, especially compared to some of the competition.

^ that’s how (without the spaces)
@lacerz
I was not talking about a new ip. But then this is not a new ip at all. Replacing a white guy with a black guy making him Spiderman is insultungly lazy, for everyone except these so called white sjw people who think or pretend that they protect us. If anything I feel more offended by all of that.
@Dominatso
Except Peter Parker and Miles Morales are canon within Marvel, and each have their own stories. Lazy is slapping new paint on something like Halo, Gears and Forza.
And in case you aren't aware, this isn't the first "superhero" we've seen from Sony this generation.
Sorry you hate games.
Getting more and more annoyed we still have not seen any video of this...
@Dominatso you welcome to feel whatever way you want to, but as someone that shares a lot of background with Miles, I love the character and his story arc.
Stan Lee himself stared the character was meant to be masked precisely so anyone could be Spider Man regardless how they looked. Like most super heroes, the mask can be exchanged and passed on, or even shared.
@Hobbesyall I cant wait for DS PS5 release too... gonna milk that game for all its got
damn... looking good.
It looks brilliant. So excited for Spidey and PS5. PlayStation is the best place to have amazing adventures and fun for hours, days, even years just because they deliver us great games.
@Dominatso Calm down man,just watch spider-man into the spiderverse,you will then understand the relationship between Miles and Peter,if you think about this,the more allies Peter Parker has the better,and who else can he trust to have his back,other than another spider-man.
Miles Morales and Peter Parker are fundamentally different,and both serve a different roles for the spider-man ip.Peter Parker spider-man, can now be seen as an experienced hero,that is grown up,and that does not have to go through the same back story again,while Miles Morales will serve the role as a rookie,who has to find his own path,who still goes through highschool,but he does not go through it using Peter Parkers backstory,if anything Miles origins,can be altered in future iteration,seeing how inconcrete it is,making him feel fresh.
I think this is a smart move from the spider-man ip owner's,which makes the spider-man franchise look less stale,if any thing superman needs his son, to grow up soon.
@Dominatso Ignorance intensifies.
Alongside Demon's Souls as my most anticipated PS5 release right now. Very excited to see it in motion eventually!
@MarcG420 erm.... Well for one it's up to the companies to choose what they wanna show off however MS should said do better then be like okay.
Also my main question is this a ss from the actual game or a cutscene? Since we all know cutscenes typically have higher quality and graphics than the actual live game play
@PupTwilight come on bud, Sony has been schooling MS when it comes to showcasing next gen. If you don’t agree then I don’t even know what to say to you lol.
Edit: if you doubt me I would point you to the insanely one sided polls all over the place gauging the ps5 to have 80-85% of people polled more excited for the ps5. That’s huge.
As far as whether it’s in a cutscene or not, I’m not sure that even matters to be honest since many games look the same in cutscenes and gameplay, but I don’t know since it doesn’t specify.
@Dominatso come on man, miles is legit canon. Why you have to be freaking out like this over nothing?
@Dominatso
How about we stop arbitrarily politicising games to the point that it undermines what a games is: fun. The rest of gaming should not have to suffer because the SJW ***** comes around every once in a while and dictates gaming must not be fun and must be attached to some bs agenda. As the other guy said, sorry you hate gaming, even of you do forget that miles morales is a PoC. It just goes to show how you people are never satisfied, even if you get exactly what you want. Grow up a bit.
@MarcG420 well, I do know a few swingers who swing a bit differently... buuuuuttttt... that’s not the point here, I guess..? 😜😂🤣😂🤣
@Lodogg3323 😂👍
@Dominatso Can’t speak for the peanut gallery, but I’d totally love to play a Black Panther game set in Wakanda and other locales. Or, a Moon Knight game... Blade would make an excellent game too, though I’m a Snipes fan through and through, no opinion on the upcoming one yet. Luke Cage would be a fun game if they brought in Iron Fist and made it a 2 player co-op game. Heroes for Hire, cleaning up NYC one block at a time...
But yeah... there’s not a lot to choose from for those of higher melanin content. They did swap Hawkeye for Kamala Khan in the upcoming Marvel game.
Personally, I don’t care gender/color/whatever the character is the game, as long as it’s fun. I have the same amount of fun regardless, most recently being a ‘samurai’ with Ghost of Tsushima.
@Lodogg3323
Ty lodogg,
I usually also don't care. I never go around thinking there should be more black. People in a game or a movie. White SJW's have that cornered and dictated.
But when I see them re-purpassing existing characters again and again and mostly because of the pressure that group of people that I just mentioned it then it makes me feel. Minimized.
We are not children that need protection. Except for the group of PoC that readily make us of said white SJW's, that being black SJW's. I dislike all of them and their dishonest political stances and comments. They are ridiculous and weak (victim role) and so is the everything they produce. Just look at anything they touch. They even managed to destroy starwars. A billion dollar industry down the drain. The woke go broke slogan is very correct because of things like this.
@OhYeahNahYeah I'm am anti SJW of any color. But you must read my comments to know that. Yes it's also in my first comment and others.
@MarcG420 he is not legit Canon. SJW comic writers (they took over the entire comic industry) planned on replacing spiderman with a PoC. This became morals but it also made people who loved comic books stand up against it finnaly. which was just amazingly offensive to me as a PoC because I dislike all the SJW victim role playing and fake virtue signaling. They don't even care about black lives not even "black lives matter" care about black lives. Ally they want to do is blame the police. I can tell you that where I grew up there were 10 times more black in black killings then cops killing blacks. And when they did the suspects had illegal firearms them most of the time.
Most shouting this sjw crap are not 'bout it. They don't know Jack but shout the loudest.
@Dominatso the way you’re reacting it’s much more reminiscent of a racist railing against a PoC being Spider-Man just saying.
@MarcG420
And there it is again. Yeah I get that a lot online and irl. Once SJW, leftists notice a black person not agreeing with their ideas. Online I get my identity denied or minimized and put in question, like right now thanks to you. Or I get called a uncle Tom by "my own people"
I will not roll over like a good black boy and join your fake ideology.
There are many more like me. We just never get the interview on msm.
GG..
@Dominatso ok a couple of points.
You’re out of line implying I’m a SJW, I’m not and you need to stop attacking people for having different opinions than you.
Secondly I was saying how you were coming across to me, that’s all. And I stand by that. It’s the impression I get.
Thirdly what is this ideology that I’m trying to make you roll over and join? All I said was miles morales is cannon. He is. Nothing you say can make that not so, despite you thinking for whatever messed up reason your opinion is worth more than the people who own the rights to the material.
To summarize: chill out man, it’s just a freaking comic book character.
@Dominatso Next time someone calls you an Uncle Tom, you should mention to them that he was the hero of the book and a great man. How it became a negative connotation is beyond me, he survived hardship after hardship, helped a ton of people along the way and when he was killed, laying there dying... dude forgave his killers, who then bettered themselves. How is that an insult..?
Check out YoungRippa on YouTube, he has similar opinions on what he calls the tokenization of comics. Personally, I can see both sides of the argument, but there’s only so far you can take a character before you run out of stories and gender/race swapping is an easy out. And while I love Spidey, Batman, etc... I like to take each case independently... sometimes I end up enjoying the stories, others it’s a one and done. Done right it shouldn’t feel forced, but be more of an organic transition for both old and new characters.
