Among the main innovations implemented by the next consoles- gen we find data storage on SSD, a solution that will allow Sony and Microsoft to reduce loading times of upcoming games. The first, surprising results come from PlayStation 5 and related launch titles.

In this regard, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be one of the first games to fully exploit the potential of the PS5 SSD, as demonstrated by the videos shared a few hours ago by Game Informer.

Miles Morales challenges Peter Parker in loading times

The gameplay released by Game Informer magazine allows us to take a closer look at the new chapter developed by Insomniac Games . Before Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales there was the original episode released two years ago on PlayStation 4 , a title that offered us an unedited story starring Peter Parker and adrenaline-pumping gameplay, as well as somewhat long loading screens.

It seems that this situation will improve significantly with the sequel / spin-off coming to PS5. Being able to count on SSD support, some loading screens will be completely eliminated . This is what we observe from the video shared by @Alejandroid 1979 on Twitter, where one of the new clips is put to comparison with older Marvel’s Spider-Man gameplay (2018).

The result is nothing short of impressive: while the PlayStation 4 game forces us to witness a loading of almost 20 seconds , Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales does not present any type of loading to process the same transition. Sure, with PS4 Pro you could gain a few seconds on loading times, but the differences with PS5 remain huge.

Spider-Cat will be Miles Morales’ unpredictable sidekick!

Thanks to the exclusive coverage of Game Informer we get to know another new entry for Insomniac’s Spider-Verse: Spider -Cat ! During a mission, Miles Morales knocks out a gang of criminals inside an abandoned factory; at the end of the quest, Miles saves a cute orange-haired cat. His name? Spider-Man.

After returning it to the rightful owner it will be possible to unlock a new skin for the protagonist. Miles will wear a red sweatshirt and a backpack that will host his new four-legged friend: the cat thus becomes our new shoulder and will come into action in some moments of the game.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales will be available in Italy from 19 November 2020 and will be one of the launch titles of PlayStation 5 . On the same date the game will also land on PS4.
