Just a few days before the release of its first paid DLC, Insomniac’s Spider-Man for the PS4 has received a new update. Along with bringing the much-awaited New Game Plus mode, this update adds tons of functionality to Photo Mode. New stickers, a shortcut to Photo Mode on the D-pad, new frames, and rotation for stickers is also included.
Most importantly, however, UI and user experience lead Gil Doron revealed a critical “fix” with this update: Puddles. That’s right – you can finally address one of the sillier criticisms that Spider-Man garnered before launch, by adding puddles to images. Considering the controversy that was generated, it’s pretty cool to see Insomniac make a cheeky comeback to the same.
Spider-Man’s first DLC, The Heist, which is part 1 of The City That Never Sleeps, will be going live on October 23rd. Along with new faction, three new suits, and new crimes, the DLC will add new story missions as well. Essentially, Spider-Man will pursue Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat, who’s leaving little clues around Manhattan for some mysterious purpose. Stay tuned for more information.
