Now, imagine Jill swinging around an NYC-flavoured Raccoon City by grappling hook, fighting a Mr Negative-swapped Albert Wesker, and facing-off against a Rhino who now resembles Nemesis. Pitting RE3 protagonist Jill Valentine against my favourite web-shooting superhero in 2D combat felt like a fever dream, and I've longed for a more sophisticated collaboration since. I hadn't long finished Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on the PSOne, and had spent my holiday reading a Joseph Michael Straczynski-era Amazing Spider-Man compilation I'd picked up in the gift shop of the Spider-Man ride at Universal Studios. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes on an arcade machine in Orlando International Airport, while waiting to board a flight home to Glasgow with my parents in 2000, I was blown away. Ever dreamed of a Marvel collab that's just never happened? Spider-Man on PC could make it possible, if the modders are willing to make it happen. ![]() If the unshakable popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the last 10 to 15 years has taught us nothing else, it's that folk enjoy unlikely crossovers. And thus, the thought of Spider-Man cultivating a similar community of modders and request-makers to realise their favourite Spidey crossovers is so exciting. God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn are now brimming with reshades, re-skins, model swaps, and quality of life adjustments – not least this Homer and Bart Simpson (and Ned Flanders) slant (opens in new tab) on Kratos and Atreus – with more being added by the day.Įven more interesting still, I reckon, is the fact that among Sifu's extensive library of weird and wonderful projects is a sprinkling mod requests – holding pages where players keenly ask those more capable to create something cool – some of which have already been fulfilled. For proof of this, we only need to look at some of the other one-time console exclusives that have since made the pilgrimage to desktop, and the subsequent flood of innovative community creations that have surfaced in each PC port's wake. But, with mods, players can (and will) be as creative as they like, pushing that variety to entirely new levels. ![]() In all fairness, Spider-Man's PS4 and PS5 iterations come with loads of fan-pleasing extras, not least dozens of Spidey suits, each of which comes packing its own special ability, and is tied to a specific era of the web-slinger's history. The scope for swapping out The Sinister Six as they appear in Insomniac's Spider-Man – Dr Octopus, Rhino, Mr Negative, Electro, Vulture, and Scorpion – will almost certainly be possible on PC by virtue of player-made mods.
