Marvel and Insomniac’s Spider-Man PS4 game has taken the gaming world by storm, with the euphoria of its web-slinging, the intrigue of its story and the earnestness of its side missions combining to create an addictively enjoyable superhero experience that ranks among the best comics-inspired games of all time.
But there’s one key aspect of the game that has really captured the internet’s imagination: the awesome aesthetic of Spider-Man, which offers stylish suits and imaginative designs aplenty, along with an utterly sprawling rendering of New York City, has earned adulation from every direction. Fans have been using Spider-Man’s excellent Photo Mode to snap, sharpen and share their own visual highlights from the game, with social media flooding with enthusiastic fans’ gorgeous in-game selfies.
If you want to dig even deeper into the visual style of Spidey’s latest gaming adventure, Insomniac has teamed with Titan Books to release Marvel’s Spider-Man: The Art Of The Game, a terrific tome that offers a treasure trove of concept art from the development phase. Titan was kind enough to send us ten exclusive images from the book, which we’ve plonked in a gallery for your viewing pleasure.
