Following thereveal of the PS5 on Thursday, many are still reacting to all that was entailed in the presentation. Highlighted were the games demonstrated at the show, includingSpider-Man: Miles Morales, which has been positively reacted to by many includingSpider-Man: Into theSpider-Verse’s director.
Spider-Man: Miles Moraleswas one of the first games presentedat the Future of Gaming showcase. Billed as an “expansion and enhancement” but standalone game in its own right, the title may be headlining some of the PS5’s biggest launch titles. More importantly, however, it largely received positive reactions by all for its action-packed clips and gorgeous next-gen graphics. Among those in approval of the game wasSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versedirector Peter Ramsey.

Ramsey, who directed 2018’s animatedSpider-Man: Into the Spider: Verse, retweeted a post on Twitter with a gif that signaled his approval of the upcoming PS5 exclusive. Given his affiliation withSpider-Manand Miles Morales, it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise.
The tweet is actually a retweet from a post by fellow director Matthew A. Cherry, accompanied by a gif of someone clapping and giving an expression of impressed. It’s worth noting that Cherry’s initial tweet shows excitement for the upcomingSpider-Mangame.
Getting praise from high places is likely a big pat on the back for Sony and Insomniac.2018’sMarvel’s Spider-Manon PS4became an instant classic upon release and has come to be heralded as one of the best PS4 games of all-time. As well, it is also considered one of the best superhero games of all-time. As such, turning one of the franchise’s most well-received recent additions with Miles Morales into the central protagonist for a follow-up seems to be a recipe for success. After all, the trailer does feature the beloved action fromMarvel’s Spider-Manin the context of Miles Morales as the protagonist and next Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: Miles Moraleswas far from the only highlight at the PS5 reveal. While it certainly shined among the games, others likeResident Evil 8: Village,Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, andPragmatawere also some of the event’s most memorable game previews.
Spider-Man: Miles Moralesis currently in development exclusively on PS5 and will release during the holiday season of 2020.
