PS5 reveal shows off Spider-Man: Miles Morales gameplay
The game takes place a year after the first game. The gameplay showed that Miles had now relocated to Harlem, where he tried to balance his life between being a good son and the city’s savior. This had made Miles wear his Spidey suit underneath and keep an eye over his shoulder at all times.

It was also shown that Miles’ mom, Rio Morales, was running for an election. A war for power broke out between the evil corporation Roxxon and The Underground, a band of criminals led by the Tinkerer.

The gameplay gave a glimpse of what it will be like to stand between these two evil forces as Spider-Man. From the looks of it, the game is paying tribute to the movies and the comic books. The moment where Miles Morales held the bridge from falling with just his webs was reminiscent of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The fight sequence that broke out showed the true potential and quality of graphics on PS5. The color schemes and the high-resolution details were joyfully evident. Delightfully, even the slightest stimulation of Spidey-Sense can be felt through the Dual Sense Controller.
