SHOWNOTES: We are launching Season Six with a redux episode for the first time on the show! With the release of its sequel coming very soon, we decided it was a perfect time to revisit Marvel's Spider-Man from Insomniac Games. Originally released in 2018 on the PS4, this title made its mark as the definitive Spider-Man video game, and impressed the hell out of us when Collateral Gaming first covered in our Season One finale. Five years later, the game has received numerous accolades, spawned both a spin-off and remaster on PS5 and PC, and captured the hearts of many gamers and comic book fans as one of the greatest superhero games ever made, but what our thoughts on it now? Stay tuned for Part 2 of the Season Premiere, where we'll be discussing spin-off sequel Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales once more on the podcast, followed by our spooky content this October, and finally, a two-part feature on Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in November. Welcome to Season Six of Collateral Gaming Video Game Podcast!
