Revision as of 20:32, 20 December 2018
The Webbed Suit is a suit players may equip in Marvel's Spider-Man, the PlayStation 4 video game. It is a free suit provided as part of the 1.13 update for the game.
The suit is based upon the Spider-Man suit from the film trilogy directed by Sam Raimi, in which Peter Parker is portrayed by Tobey Maguire.
Behind the scenes
A suit based on Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy had been requested by many fans, but was not included in the games original release, nor the following DLC updates, Marvel's Spider-Man: The City That Never Sleeps. Having expected it to appear in a DLC instalment, many fans began to tweet Insomniac Games asking about the suit. In response to one fan on Twitter, Insomniac said "Listening doesn’t mean we always will do what people tell us to. We hear you. Hearing doesn’t mean we always act or follow."[1]
Following this, and the revelation that the final instalment A Silver Lining did not include the suit, fans of the trilogy began to harass the developers further.[2][3][4] This led Community Director James Stevenson to respond on Twitter, stating that "Passion is not an excuse for harassment", and that paying for the game "does not entitle you to be a jerk".[5]
The Webbed Suit was announced on December 20th, 2018, with an accompanying image taken in game.[6] James Stevenson then explained that the suit had been months in development, and continued that the team "never stopped listening".[7]
