The game also comes with a remastered version of Marvel's Spider-Man, a clever idea from the games' developers Insomniac. However, just like a certain other Marvel game on the market right now, the remastered Spider-Man was critiqued before release for its character design. Marvel’s Spider-Man Is Now Playable On Your PC 8 April 2020 by Lara Jackson The web-slingingly wonderful Marvel’s Spider-Man has found a new home as part of the PlayStation Now line-up.
Marvel’s Spider-Man players who beat the game inside and out on the PlayStation 4 had to pull off all kinds of stunts and amass tons of collectibles and upgrades to unlock the game’s trophies and ultimately its lofty Platinum trophy. When the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered game releases for the PlayStation 5 as part of the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Ultimate Edition package, players will once again have the chance to hunt for not just the same trophies but new ones. Developer Insomniac Games confirmed recently that the remastered version of the Spider-Man game would have new trophies for players to hunt for including a new Platinum.
Those keeping an eye on Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales news likely saw some trophy reveals not long ago. Insomniac Games shared more than a few trophies from the new Spider-Man game as well as the conditions for unlocking those trophies while adding that there will be more to obtain in the new game.
Yes! There's also several all-new new trophies!
— Insomniac Games (@insomniacgames) October 26, 2020However, it was also mentioned that there would be more games for Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered players to unlock as well. In the reply seen above given to a user who asked about the remastered game’s trophies, Insomniac Games replied to confirm that the Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered game will indeed have new trophies for players to obtain. Answering in the affirmative to the fan’s original question, the developer also confirmed that there would be a separate Platinum trophy from the PlayStation 4 version.
We haven’t yet seen what that Platinum is, but given how those rare trophies usually work, it’s probably going to be another “collect all other trophies” deal. This means that you’ll have to complete whatever trophies that we already saw in the Marvel’s Spider-Man game on the PlayStation in addition to the new trophies being added in the remastered version. Unlike the preview of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, we haven’t yet seen what these new trophies will look like.
Those semi-shared trophies aren’t the only connection the remastered game will have to the original on the PlayStation 4. Insomniac Games announced not long ago that Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered would be getting some new suits, but it was later confirmed that those are also coming to the PlayStation 4 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man as well, so if you’re not upgrading to the next generation just yet, you can still expect to get some extra content.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered PS5 Review. It’s perhaps telling that in the nearly two years since the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4, there hasn’t been another superhero game on Sony’s console, or, well *anything* else, good to enough to really touch it in the interim. Newly remastered and re-released for PlayStation 5, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered lavishes a delectable coat of next-gen paint on one of the PlayStation 4’s greatest games, cementing its stature as a must-have title in the process.

Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man Has Never Looked Or Played Better
For all intents and purposes this is the same game that most of us played back in 2018, so with that in mind our original review of Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4 provides a much more in-depth critique of the game’s mechanics and more nuanced elements. Broadly speaking though, this means that same ground-breaking city traversal, acrobatic combat and superb story are all in place, present and correct. This my friends, is good news.
Pointedly, it’s especially good news if you’re new to the PlayStation platform and have never sampled the delights of Marvel’s Spider-Man previously. Again, without re-treading the content of that aforementioned original review, Marvel’s Spider-Man is a tremendous, third-person action title that really makes you feel like Webbed Wonder as he soars and swoops through the New York skyline, beating up baddies and generally saving the day like a good lad.
In this newly remastered version of Marvel’s Spider-Man, you’re getting all that and more as this version of the game comes jam-packed with all of the DLC and story expansion content which was released for the original game.

It’s also worth remembering too that while Marvel’s Spider-Man was (and very much still is) a fantastic action adventure, it does have a small handful of flaws that detract a little from the overall package. From the Mary Jane focused insta-fail stealth missions, to the fairly dull power re-routing puzzle mini-games and a general oversaturation of open world tasks to do, it’s certainly fair to say that in this regard at least, Insomniac’s seminal superhero outing hasn’t quite aged as well as aspects of the game.
Ironically in this sense, Spider-Man: Miles Morales comes out looking as the better game, boasting not only a superior narrative and improved combat but a leaner game structure resulting far less open world busywork and, of course, none of those horrendous insta-fail stealth missions from the 2018 title. Regardless though, Marvel’s Spider-Man is still a cracking game and in its remastered form, it has never looked or played better.
Mirroring the visual feature set glimpsed in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Spider-Man: Remastered lets players switch between a fidelity and performance mode which each affect the visuals and gameplay in all the ways that you might imagine.
Fidelity is the default visual mode here. Providing a razor sharp 4K base resolution enhanced by Temporal Injection, the fidelity visual preset also brings with it enhanced lighting and stunning ray tracing effects, albeit at a cost of running at a locked 30 frames per second (the same framerate that Marvel’s Spider-Man was able to hit on PS4 and PS4 Pro back in 2018).
When being played in this mode, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered looks simply incredible and easily passes for a true next-generation PlayStation 5 offering in the process. Like Spider-Man: Miles Morales however, it’s the performance mode that is truly transformative.
By stripping away the fancy ray tracing, enhanced visual effects and dropping the resolution down to upscaled 4K, Spider-Man: Remastered’s performance mode allows the game to absolutely scream along at a locked 60 frames per second. As a result, everything from swinging around the city to socking goons in the face not only looks beautifully smooth, but feels much more responsive too. Look, once you’ve tried the performance mode in Spider-Man: Remastered it’s unlikely you’ll ever switch back to the default fidelity mode – so substantial are the gameplay benefits that the former brings over the latter.
Here’s the thing though, despite the apparently sizable drops in visual quality, Spider-Man: Remastered still looks hugely impressive with performance mode switched on – even when observed where no movement is taking place.
Further afield, Spider-Man: Remastered also benefits from the same lightning quick load times that Miles Morales does too, allowing players to fast travel in just a couple of seconds and load up a saved game from cold boot in just over ten seconds. It’s a remarkable achievement in technology that I still haven’t gotten quite used to yet.
A little less remarkable though is the DualSense implementation, in which both the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers feel a little like afterthoughts here; providing a nice bit of rumble and tension when the action happens, but otherwise little more than that.
In the end then, Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is a great remastering of an already superb superhero title. Acting as a neat bridge to the events seen in Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered might not be essential to those webbed veterans who have already seen everything that the 2018 title has to offer, but it most certainly is required gaming for anyone not previously acquainted with the shenanigans of this particular neighbourhood Spider-Man.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Remastered is out for PlayStation 5 on November 12, 2020.
