-Take off your mask, I want to see my nephew - You knew? - I knew for a while - *YOU KNEW* -*Engages in boss battle with Aunt May*

Ben died because Peter was selfish and May died because Peter was selfless. God, I love Insomniac.

To be fair, he’s in his 20s in the comics and hasn’t been a high schooler since the ‘60s. He’s SO much better as an adult

This game makes you feel like Spider-Man. But more importantly, it makes you feel like Peter Parker.

What I also love is not just Doc Ock, but all the villains have real motivations and make us feel somewhat bad for them Rhino hated being the Rhino and just wanted to get out of his suit Scorpion was in serious debt from gambling and wanted it all gone Vulture wanted to extend his life as he had spinal cancer and didn't want to die Shocker was being threatened by Li's gang and forced him against his will to become Shocker again, even though he gave up his life of crime Li had severe mental illness and a traumatic past because of a science experiment gone wrong, and even though he was trying to do good by making others happy, his demons sadly got the best of him Almost every villain felt human and we knew why they were evil. Life gave them the hardest times, and in turn it created monsters. THAT is how villains should be done

When Aunt May says: "Take off that mask. I want to see my nephew." I...legit...wept like a baby.

If this game has made me realize anything it’s that Spider-Man is one of the best things mankind has ever created

I miss you John Bubniak . you are the best spiderman that we ever got..

- Take off your mask. I want to see my nephew. - You knew? - I've known for a while. - I never wanted you to worry -- - I DID. And I am so proud of you, and Ben would be too. - I don't know what to do... - Yes you do. This is what incredible writing looks like. Mixed with the amazing voice acting and it really got to me. I just started tearing up at 2 in the morning over a game!

How dare you forget to mention the most compelling character in the game? The one with the best story arch, voice acting, and a heart of fucking gold!? Spider cop!

Alex: This Peter Parker is the perfect mix of Tobey Maguire's sensitivity, Andrew Garfield's snappiness and Tom Holland's youthful charm. Us: Yeah and not to mention this Peter Parker looks like the love child of all three. Remaster: Okay Peter's gonna look like Tom Holland now.

I think what makes this games' story as good as Spider-Man 2 is both of these stories tackles sacrifice. For example, Peter sacrificed his relationship with Octavius to save the city and he sacrificed Aunt May for the development of the cure. This is what makes a real hero. I love this game goddamn.

"you were my hero!!" and "if they find out, they'll take my arms! I'll be stuck in this USELESS BODY!!!" both destroyed me.

Imagine his reaction when the Raimi suit was released

"The emotional complexity of daredevil, the fun of the mcu, and the heart of the raimi films" don't forget the character focus and stunning visual styles of the webb films. It takes the great from everything don't ignore tasm.

Peter in far from home doesn't have the emotional payoff of being betrayed Far from home Peter: You lied to me I trusted you Spider-Man PS4 Peter: *YOU ARE EVEYTHING I WANTED TO BE . Y... YOU JUST THREW IT AWAY*

The best part is that it manages to balance all of this with some top-notch webswinging and combat. And detail. And a photo mode.

My God. This video is everything I felt about the game put into words. Everyone is banging on about graphics this and webswinging that and making you feel like Spiderman but this. This video right here. This is what Spider-Man PS4 truly is.

I'm going to be honest, when I had discovered that the Raimi suit was being included in the game, I cried. Tears of joy. It was a feeling I don't think I will ever experience again.

Another thing is, every single line of voice acting was done amazingly, every time, it felt like it was actually being said by the characters in the situations they were in, instead of it sounding like a voice mail from a tired person sitting in their home. Like when Spider-Man is fighting, it sounds like he’s breathing a bit heavier. You can feel the emotions. It’s not just toneless “I need to go stop Doc” like in other spider-man games.

"This game makes you feel like spider-man" I hate it but its true...

He saved the city but he lost everything, and he still saving the city. What a man

i came back to this after they changed peters design

That part where Peter was texting MJ after defeating Martin made me feel how my friend felt having an awkward patch/phase with his crush. So when you say "we've had moments like these", yeah these characters feel real to me. I love the relationship of the Peter and MJ in this game.

I think whats genius in the last cutscene with aunt may **SPOILERS** They flipped Uncle Bens death with Aunt Mays death. Whereas Ben died due to a lack of responsibility, Aunt May died due to Peters sense of responsibility.

This video is almost 2 months old now, and i know this propably will go unnoticed. But just wanted to say this is one of my top 10 favorite videos on youtube, so energitic and emotional.

Imagine if Sony and Marvel handled MCU Spider-Man like this instead of making him seem like he's from Disney channel? He'd be the best Spider-Man of all time...

I recently just finished playing this game and I had gotten accidentally spoiled about Aunt May's death beforehand, AND YET when she uttered her last line to a conflicted Peter - "You know what to do" - i still absolutely broke man. This game was an absolute gem, a true love letter to Spidy fans (just like how Into the Spider-verse was!) and I honestly think he's the best version of Spider Man to date! Well maaaybe along with Peter B. Parker - they both share the #1 Peter Parker spot in my heart together ❤️

The voice of spidey in this game is the one i imagine when reading the comics. 10/10 this should b a spidey film or animated film. On the same tier as arkham series.

7:28 Bryan Intihar: “Whatever it takes” Insomniac Crew: “Whatever it takes”

As odd as it may seem this is one of my comfort videos. I watch this video when I’m upset and I need something comforting. I guess it’s just comforting to know that there are so many people who are as passionate as I am about Spider-man

"I haven't been this emotional invested in the story of Peter Parker since the spectacular Spider-Man cartoon" same bro

You know what's even better? Watching all cutscenes with Raimis suit, lol

Gameplay: amazing Story: amazing Graphics: amazing This is an Amazing Spideman game

Cant wait for you to cover the new one

After playing through Miles Morales the “insomniac spider-verse” might end up becoming the greatest spider-verse of all time if it isn’t already

The problem with spiderman as a teen is ALL OF HIS BEST STORIES ARE WHEN HE IS AN ADULT

The best compliment you can give to this game: you can tell it was made by a group of people who LOVE Spider-Man.

He's gonna hate the PS5 remaster, because they ruined Peter's face. They made him look like a kid.

This is storytelling in its purest form. You can feel the connection between the creators and a consumer.

imagine how he felt when he saw the miles game.

This video makes me want to play through Spider-Man PS4 again

The number of times I've come back to watch this isn't healthy...

You know what also makes this better than the films? It handles the "Multi-Villian Dilemma" beautifully. The Sinister Six are all interconnected and have a central focus, their formation stemming from Otto's madness and how he plans to aid them in return for getting his revenge on Norman. Heck, even Fisk is a large part of the plot, even though he is dealt with in the first 30 minutes. His absence creates the power vacuum necessary for Li to begin his assault and inspire Otto. It's so well woven! Also, Spider-Cop

"Whats a few bucks, when you're trying to change the world, right?"

This game just IS Spider-Man. I’m so shocked that this is the most accurate depiction of spider-man I’ve ever seen.

Ben died because Peter was selfish and may died because Peter was selfless , such depth in that character and insomniac nailed it

THAT SPIDER-MAN 2 PS5 TRAILER THO

It's always cool when a Spider-Man fan acknowledges it's not essential to the character that he be a kid. The character's been around since '62, a lot more has happened with him than high school.

I think a lot of fans feel similarly to the sheer delight in this video. It's an immensely joyous feeling, knowing that good Spider-Man material can still exist today.

I played this with my mom watching it. We both teared up when aunt may died. Such a good game

The scene where Peter can't give the anti serum to May, and the scene where Daredevil can't kill Fisk are PERFECT because the audience knows that doing so is what the character wants. What makes them heroes is having the strength to do that.

"This game made me watch the movies and read the comics again" YES that's exactly what the game did for me. I was watching the Spiderman movies again just from the game re-introducing me to the love I had for this hero (Who was my favorite as a kid till Batman became my favorite)

Spider-Man grown up, not just Man in name. I almost skipped this because thought it was just another Spiderman ps4 video in my recommended but then realized it was you, so I knew it would be good.

Miles was so cool in this game. Showing he was a hero before getting powers.

*Tobey Maguire Has Joined The Chat* *Tom Holland Has Left The Chat*

Alex's character arc through these videos are top notch

I don't mind Spider-Man as a teen nor as an adult, as long as it's done right. Spider-Man as a teen, you see his growth, his development as a superhero, what he gets right, what he gets wrong and how he overcomes it. That's what I (personally) wanna see in a Spider-Man adaptation or a show. People get tired of seeing him as a teen because "It's been done before!". Well to me, I feel like it hasn't been done right, before...

Mum: "give me one good reason why I should by you this game" Me: Shows her this video

Anyone else come back here just so you don’t have to see the new Peter’s face?😬😬😬

Anyone else *love* how in the final batle with Ock, it takes the scene from Spider-Man 2 that we were *all* thinking of and completely reverses it? Instead of Ock realising that Peter is Spider-Man, Peter realises Ock already knew. Honestly when his mask broke, I was convinced it would follow in Spider-Man 2's footsteps but somehow it did the exact opposite and it's *better.*

"When an artist puts their heart and sole into their art the person viewing that art can't help but feel it!" Perfectly said!

I never thought there could be a better doc ock than Alfred Molina. He was far and away the best we had so far. But now? This ordinary-looking old man in the game made my heart grow to a size where he could firmly grip it and rip it in two. I sometimes cry at art but never superhero stuff. This was an exception, and a huge one.

This Game is so fucking perfect i cant describe it its Just PERFECT

The Aunt May Scene...... No words to describe that If you’ve ever been in that situation, you know what I mean

I teared up watching this video. Spider-Man PS4 is a masterpiece!

7:54 Dare I say this game makes you FEEL like Spider Man.

I need a movie like this, at least 4-Hours, make it lengthy just like ZSJL and give us all their arcs and fulfill them by the end. MAKE! US! FEEL!!!!

Tobey: oldest Spider-Man, and May was the oldest Andrew: younger Spider-Man, and May was younger Tom: Youngest Spider-Man, and youngest and (some think) the hottest May. PS4: Older than Tobey but May is younger (just a bit older than Andrews)

No lie this game made me switch from xbox to Ps4 INSTANTLY

The music in this game too, everyone forgets how beautifully amazing the theme is. It captures the wonder, but also the emotion of Peter *chefs kiss*

So glad I found someone who loves Spiderman with the same depth that I do. God bless you man

One of the things about this game that will stick with me, amongst an endless amount, is how certain lines or ideas were addressed in the early hours and came back at the end in what is a very satisfying execution of storytelling. There's the duality of man (Martin Li), the mystery of Devil's Breath, Ock's gradual path towards breaking bad, and the way Peter and MJ grow closer together again throughout the game. But the one thing that really hit me, and was the least obvious for me to spot, was how Aunt May's now famous saying of, "When You Help Someone, You Help Everyone" is seen in a new light by the end of the game. I was moved by how Peter lived up to Ock's statement about how you have to make the hardest decisions to change the world when he sacrificed May to save all of New York, but in doing so he also showed that May's positive words can't always be true. Peter couldn't help save one person, that person being Aunt May, and still go on to help everyone else. He had to help everyone at the expense of the one, and lost the dearest person in his life because of it. It reminds me of another famous Aunt May line from Spider-Man 2, which is only fitting for how much this game feels in tune with the themes and emotions of that movie: "I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams." Fuck I love this game.

4:03 You missed the perfect opportunity for a triple whammy. Not "astonishing." "A m a z i n g."

Uncle ben died by Peter's lack of responsibility and Aunt May died when Peter was holding too much of responsibility. This game is a perfect masterpiece.

You are so damn right. I didn't want Otto to become Doc Ock. Hell, at the end, I felt truly sorry for Norman Osborne because I truly believe he loves his son, that he would pay any price, take any risk and make any sacrifice to save him. Felicia's manipulation and Yuri's downfall were rough as well. This is how you capture an audience!

Still waiting for that Tobey / Sam Raimi suit in the DLC

"You do what you think is best, Doc."

You’ve basically reiterated all my thoughts of how much this game relates with not only my life but how it SAVED my life. It reminded me of who I used to be and why anyone should keep going and not give up. This is the best video essay I’ve seen in praising this amazing video game.

Oh my God i love this video. Your excitement and love for the game IS INFECTING ME THROUGH THE SCREEENN AAAAA I LOVE THIS GAMEEEE

The fundamentals of Spiderman are responsibility and consequence and they absolutely nail them in this game it has become part of the Trinity of Spiderman Spectacular Spiderman Spiderman 2 Spiderman ps4 The holy spiderman Trinity

FINALLY someone making a video reviewing spider-man ps4 with the same amount of emotional energy that i felt towards this game lmfao thank u for this

This game, RDR2, and Ghost of Tsushima are my 3 favorite games

Best frickin post review of a game I've ever saw! Love this! 😎👏🏽👍🏾

I want Tobey, Andrew, or Tom to play this masterpiece of a game and record their reactions

Raimi the father Bryan the son Yuri the holy spirit

The new face ruins this.

This story was much better than Tom’s 🕸🌍🕸

Spider-Man PS4 is what Homecoming should’ve been. Focusing on the internal conflicts and consequences he faces because he’s Spider-Man. Easily the best interpretation of this character in years outside of the comics. I love this game I had no problems with this game outside of the puzzles. And the ending with Aunt May was executed beautifully. Mary Jane was great and I don’t understand why people seem to hate her and while I really liked Miles in the comics, he was great in the game. Overall this is one of the best games I’ve ever played and one of the best stories with this character ever.

If insomniac made their own spider-man movie, I would definitley buy a ticket to see it. EDIT: Oh boy yeah it's meme time. Peter: GIVE ME THE -PLANT- ANSTISERUM. Doc Ock: No, I don't think I will.

Who’s here after they recasted John?

Relatability is the main thing!!!.....the passion with which you explain why this game is so great....that's awesome! Till now i had no words to express the greatness of this game and now you've just given me that....thank you!!

Insomniac did what Homecoming tried to do: give a story without mentioning Uncle Ben. In Homecoming, it felt as if Uncle Ben never existed. It felt like Peter lost his sense in Responsibility after Civil War, just to be an Avenger. Even the “If this be my Destiny” scene felt underwhelming, because rather than remembering Uncle Ben, he just thinks of Tony Stark(also don’t give me that “bUt hE’s JuSt A kId” argument, because he was around the same age and still had a sense of responsibility). Insomniac did it just right. Everything that Spider-Man did, he did it for Responsibility; after MJ’s mission in Norman’s room, she tells him of Otto, Harry, and Martin Li, he still felt as if all of that was his fault.

This game is so good, that my friend who hates Spider-Man for being overrated loves it.

Your videos make me so pumped up and emotional, man. So good!

Batman and Spiderman are truly my idols, to take the idea of trauma as it fleshes out a character, to react and to change a certain way to reach something, the duality of empathy, grief, depression, to create unity over what makes a person a person. Not a good person, but a person, and that is, too change. We can't save everyone, nor, no matter how we try, we can't save a world that never needed saving, but we can change. Cause a spurge of change, no matter how small, to live and to change the world as the way you want, that makes a hero.

I love that this game's ending was essentially the anti-One More Day.

Best achievement of this game No iron man jr

You are an amazing reviewer , I enjoy how much passion you have when you talk about your video of spider man
