#10. Wild Card: Spider-Man PS4

Look, I like video games. But I'm not a gamer. I only play a select few games. Not for story, but usually to just run around, drive around, blow stuff up, and look neat while doing it (primarily GTA 5, I want Just Cause 3 but my brother won't buy it. Yes I'm behind on the games and #basic.) But there is one game that I am more than giddy for, and I might even buy my own system specifically for a game that is coming up. That game is Spider-Man PS4.

If you asked me before seeing some of the more recent footage, I would and would have always said that the best Spider-man game was Spider-Man 2. Not only was it a rarity for a video game tie-in to a film to be good (or even playable), but this Spider-Man game offered something revolutionary for the franchise that was never decently done again. The game allowed the player to free roam around New York City as Spider-Man and, not only could you touch the streets of New York and pass pedestrians and run in front of cars etc. Also, unlike previous games under the title, the webs attached to buildings! Which was amazing. (hehe) 

Now, there is a Spider-Man game in the works that many are placing the responsibility onto to top Spider-Man 2. That is no small task to follow, but what the public has seen so far, they may not land too far off. The #1 concern for fans is webslinging mechanics. Not only do the webs attach to buildings (which sounds simple but some recent Spider-Man games have failed to even do THAT) but the game allows a combination of buttons that help you gain momentum and travel through the city using things in the environment. You can even make a full 90 degree turn! Which is different for Spider-Man games. 

The new Spidey game is meant to have a series of alternate costumes that have special abilities and, in an attempt to allow the players to be the Spider-Man they want to be, players will be allowed to mix and match the costumes and the abilities so if they like the look of one costume but the powers of another, they can have both.

 Also the combat system is more advanced than ever, for Spidey has new gadgets to give him even more of an edge against the bad guys, almost echoing the Arkham games in regards to variety of move sets. Players can use the environment around them to use to their advantage as well, much like Spider-Man would. 

Not much else has been revealed about the game, but the graphics look stunning, and the abilities the player has and how they can get around New York City is a true game changer. (ha)
