There’s a new Spider-Man game coming out, which is pretty cool, right? But what if we told you there’s a side-quest where you rescue a cat, and that pussy will then accompany you on subsequent missions – even fighting by your side?! Yeah, we pretty much figured that would sell you on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, but maybe you still need some video proof:
Game of the Year? We find it pretty amusing that while Peter Parker’s faffing about with all manner of gadgets and gizmos, Miles is fighting crime with a feline. Best. Game. Ever!

Cats aside, the ray-tracing is very impressive.
This looks pawsitively meowvalous.
Notice at 55 seconds how he zips out of the factory area and straight back into the open world. Got to love that SSD. That'd be a short loading screen on PS4.
Idk if it’s just me but Days Gone is free on PS store right now
How many puddles?
The mask on the cat is too good.
@Waffles12415 did you get it
@Waffles12415 showing up as $19.99 for me.
I already wanted this game, this solidified that. I can’t wait for a cat finisher move.
I have to be honest, this is the first really exciting thing I've seen from this game. And to be clear, I love Miles and think he deserves his own designed-from-the-ground-up outing rather than an offshoot of Pete's game.
Love the mask on the cat. Very cute.
It'll be interesting to compare and contrast performance between the different platforms. Digital Foundry is going to be really busy this November.
Well seeing Miles only gets the attention of pussy when he has a super suit.
This, this is making me think about it again. The only issue is this. I haven't played it and I would need to play the first one. The business practices of the Ultimate edition and SM remastered does make me hesitant though. And that's a lot of Spider-Man, but it also means it could be overkill.
No lie: I pre-ordered this from Amazon after seeing Spider-Cat. 100% sold.
@4kgk2 I bought it day one. But I said it was free for PS+ idk how to add a picture to my comment though to show you
Just when I thought I was out.....they pull me back in!
This actually convinced me to buy this game. I’m shocked.
I'LL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!
Peter Parker gets Black Cat, Miles Morales gets Spider-Cat. Sucks to be the sidekick.
Holy heck at the end, that's amazing 😂
Will wait till it's 19.99 not paying 50 bucks for a glorified dlc.
Bah, let me know when they add Spider-Dog.
Meh, a little too silly for my taste, but then again Spider-Man had Peter chasing pigeons...so....a cat isn't such a far leap, I guess?
Doesn't deter me from wanting the PS4 version for Christmas.
@edulanza10 does what you've seen look like a glorified dlc? It's a whole game
This game seems highly over priced. It genuinely feels like nothing but DLC, and not even impressive DLC. Just a new skin in the same old city with the same old moves. I love the spiderman game, but I'd much rather replay that than spend 50 bucks on this "new" game.
That said, I hope I'm wrong and there's plenty to make this adventure feel fresh.
Loved this trailer. From the warehouse transitioning to the Raytracing in front of the shop and of course the Spider-Cat moments. Best Game Informer video showcasing this game yet.
How cool is this. ))...I had a good laugh. So sweet. Can not wait to play it.
Shoulda been a pig, that would of been awesome.
@get2sammyb that was seriously impressive, its taken me a while to warm up to this one but I'm very excited to play it
Everyone love hero and cat. Lovely.
Well I'll have to fight for the controller now because someone will want to grab it from me when I play those parts.
Lol where did the bag go when they fist bump.
@get2sammyb once seen it cannot be unseen, there's no such thing as "cats aside" and not that I needed another reason to get the game but yes...
@sketchturner Miles has a full suite of new moves (venom attacks, invisibility), he's a new character model with new "less confident" swinging animations, there's a new fully voiced and acted story (even if it's 8 hours, that's longer than some games), there's the new crime app to stop you swinging through the city for ages waiting for a police scanner crime to pop up like the original, and they've reskinned the entire city of New York. To me, that all sounds like enough to justify a full sequel! It's still a game in the Spider-Man series so it has to be vaguely similar to the first one. Short of changing the location (and to me New York = Spider-Man 100%) what more could you want?
@Waffles12415
No, £15.99 for me. Only the theme is free.
@ellsworth004 Would've. Actually, on second thought, wouldn't've.
Is this for real? Do you actually get to have the cat along? That'd make me interested in this game again after getting turned off by the changes to Peter Parker...
@get2sammyb
Whilst the SSD (along with the controller) is high on my hype list, I think it more likely that the extra memory simply allows for the inside of the warehouse to be added to the immediate outside surroundings, meaning no loading necessary at all.
I’ll be interesting to see how this is handled on the PS4 version, on a machine that always had to separately load each internal/external environment each time you entered or left a building.
OK this game just keeps getting better and better. The cat is fantastic but also just wow, the game looks stunning. The quality of the lighting and that transition from the warehouse back to the open world are sooo nice. Really looking forward to it.
Purrrrfect, spidercat spidercat does whatever a spidercat can, double yarnball finisher move I reckon!!
Need a team up with spider-cat and spider-pig.
Reminds me of persona 5 with that cat in your book bag.the graphics looks amazing .word up son
Already pre-ordered and ready to go 🔥 Got the Ultimate Edition so I can go back and played the original at 60fps.
Also curious about Dark Souls....never played the series so I pre-ordered as well 😅
If I'm gonna be locked at home, at least I will be entertained.
@get2sammyb I thought that seamless transition from the warehouse to open world was fantastic. can't wait for the 19th!
I do wonder though if the PS4 version will just have a load screen pop up once he enters that vent pipe.
Off topic from Spidey, I've seen that the Planet Coaster article that it's a launch title no longer shows on your site. Is it no longer the case?
How is it that I watch this trailer and the only thing which breaks my suspension of disbelief is that a cat is willing to stay in a backpack pouch?
@talocaca Nice! I've got the Ultimate Edition too. Can't wait to play the original and Miles Morales back to back.
As you said, might as well, considering being stuck at home!
@theheadofabroom 😂 I had the same thought! No way I could stuff my kitty in a backpack like that and expect her to just go with it
@Waffles12415 Do you have PS Now? Games show up as free if it's on that service
Spider Cat, Spider Cat
Is too lazy to leave his bed
Sleeps 12 hours, then 6 more
Keeps on meowing 'till you open the door
Feed mmmmeeee, so I can go sleep more.
😻😻😻🐈
Cats are the new dogs next gen
@Waffles12415..... Is it still showing free..... My internet is down right so can't access the PS store...
Day one buy more than ever, love Spider-Cat!
@Jaz007
wow you and I have a very similar thought process. I have the Spider-man GOTY edition ready to go for PS5 and will most likely wait to get SM: MM at a later date. The whole $70 limited edition for a remaster was just too anti-consumer for me to ignore; it was EA in it's heyday level of scummy.
