Spider-Man on the PlayStation 4 was definitely one of 2108's best games

True, there was stiff competition from the likes of God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2, but there perhaps wasn't a more thrilling gaming moment all year than gracefully swinging around the skyscrapers of New York. The game was also filled with little nods and in-jokes for hardcore Spider-Man fans - and one of the biggest sources of those were the alternate costumes you could unlock. Deep-cut references included the suits for Spidey 2099, the Scarlet Spider, and Spider-Punk. The game's DLC has added more with each installment, but today developers Insomniac announced something very special coming in the next update: the suit worn in the Tobey Maguire-starring movies. https://twitter.com/insomniacgames/status/1075707383601479680 The costume will be free for everyone who owns the game. Tobey Maguire starred as Peter Parker in the original trilogy of movies - 2002's Spider-Man, and its sequels in 2004 and 2007. All three were directed by Sam Raimi, and were the first time Spidey has appeared on the big screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7zvehDxttM The first two movies are still considered by many fans to be amongst the best superhero movies ever made. The third installment was much less well-received but they did give us Peter Parker's evil dancing. Maguire was replaced by Andrew Garfield for the two Amazing Spider-Man films. They were not good.
