Spider-Man's First DLC Arrives In October, Followed By Two More Later This Year

Insomniac Games community director James Stevenson has announced on the PlayStation Blog that Spider-Man will be getting post-launch DLC on October 23. Titled The Heist, the DLC is the first of a three-part expansion called The City That Never Sleeps. Each part seems to focus on a different character from Spider-Man's circle of friends and foes, with the first being about one of Spidey's ex-flames.

One very small spoiler for Spider-Man follows. If you want to discover all the characters alluded to in the main game on your own, stop reading.

The Heist focuses on Felicia Hardy, aka Black Cat. Throughout the main game, you'll find clues scattered throughout New York that hint she might be back in the city. However, she won't make an actual appearance until The Heist launches.

In the comics, Peter Parker's love life typically bounces between three women: Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacey, and Felicia Hardy. Mary Jane has already been confirmed for the game, and is even playable in certain missions. In most comic incantations, Gwen Stacey dies early into Peter's career as a superhero, so it stands to reason that she has already passed away by the events of the game.

Felicia is never really Peter's girlfriend, as she's mostly written as the charismatic sex appeal that tempts him away from being with Mary Jane. As Black Cat, Felicia was originally a jewel thief before trying her hand at being an anti-hero to impress Spider-Man, whom she playfully refers to as "Spider." Black Cat's affection for Spider-Man shifts between lust and love with every new iteration of the character, but one thing always remains the same: she wants Black Cat to be with Spider-Man, not for Felicia to be with Peter. Normal life without masks is just too boring for her.

The Heist DLC is followed by Turf Wars in November and Silver Lining in December. There are plenty of gang leaders that Turf Wars might refer to, but Silver Lining most likely is a DLC about Silver Sable, who's a confirmed antagonist in PS4's Spider-Man. All three DLCs add new story missions, challenges, enemies, and suits. Each expansion costs $10 on its own, but the whole The City That Never Sleeps collection can be bought for $25. The City That Never Sleeps also comes included in the Spider-Man Digital Deluxe Edition, which it available for pre-order.

Spider-Man comes to PS4 on September 7.

MediEvil Review - Bones 'n Brawn

As a remaster of the 1998 puzzle-platformer of the same name, MediEvil holds up reasonably well. Its cartoonishly charming characters and varied, if relatively simplistic, level design both stands the test of time and looks better than ever thanks to a complete graphical overhaul. But as much as MediEvil can feel like a warm blanket of nostalgia--especially for those of us who played the game 21 years ago--it also feels incredibly dated, with jittery controls and camera issues that regularly get in the way of progress. You play as Sir Daniel Fortesque, a dead knight who is returned to life when the sorcerer Zarok makes an unexpected return to Gallowmere, bringing with him hordes of monsters. Fortesque remains every bit as charming a character as he was; his gnarled teeth, warbly voice, and single, rolling eyeball lose none of their charisma in the remastering process. Zarok's design hasn't aged well, though, and the new visuals leave him looking like a plastic doll who’s been

After Pitching Dragon Age Musical DLC, David Gaider Is Finally Getting To Make His Musical Game

Dragon Age lead franchise writer David Gaider is making a new and intriguing-looking musical adventure game Chorus . As it turns out, the veteran game developer--who left BioWare years ago--has been thinking about making a musical game for a long time. In an appearance at the GameSpot Theatre today at PAX Aus about his new game and studio, Gaider said he in fact pitched musical DLC for Dragon Age during his time at BioWare. The musical Dragon Age DLC could have taken place inside the metaphysical Dragon Age realm called The Fade, he said. It was a semi-serious, semi-joking pitch, Gaider said, but whatever the case, it never happened. Gaider is now getting to realize that dream. His new game, Chorus, is a musical adventure game where they big story beats play out through song. Gaider is working on Chorus with Summerfall managing director Liam Esler (former Obsidian, Beamdog developer), while prolific voice actress Laura Bailey (Uncharted, Gears of War) is voicing the main character.
