A new Spidey trailer streamed
According to Screen Rant, the new IGN trailer for "Spider-Man" will feature Peter's relationship with his supporting cast and Rogues Gallery in the latest segment of J. Jonah Jamerson's radio show.
Jameson begins to berate Spider-Man yet again for being a menace in New York City and claims that his crime-fighting antics will only bring more harm not just for the citizens, but the for the people that are close and dear to him. Peter calls the show under the name "Ben Reilly" and explains that Spidey is doing the best he can do to earn the people's trust and protect his loved ones.
The Daily Bugle chief editor also blamed Spidey for the emergence of super-powered criminals such as Electro, Vulture, and Rhino that are rampaging around the city. Jameson urged the citizens to support Silver Sable's mercenary group to protect them instead of Spider-Man, but Peter is skeptical about them since they are working for the city's new mayor, Norman Osborn.
The previous IGN trailers featured the game's impressive open-world activities, combat system, web-based gadgets, upgrade system, and the abilities of each Spidey suits. "Spider-Man" will launch on September 7 for the PlayStation 4 console.
