The various districts have their own handful of iconic buildings and landmarks, but many blocks throughout the city bounce between Hell’s Kitchen’s brownstones and bodegas, and the Upper East Side’s gaudy shops and towering condos. Specifically, it looks like an oddly clean version of the 1970s Manhattan seen in Scorsese movies - a city riddled with both brick buildings and crime, but devoid of litter, graffiti and post-9/11 police presence. Spider-Man’s world captures the idea of New York rather than the actual place. The map includes the entirety of Manhattan, and though the demo limited travel to Greenwich Village, the East Village, the Manhattan Bridge, Chinatown, Midtown East, Murray Hill and Gramercy, we got a good idea of the heavy lifting and research that went into crafting this open world. But how close does this open world come to recreating the real New York City? We spent an hour with Sony’s E3 2018 Spider-Man demo on a mission to find out. The new Spider-Man on PS4 features a humongous and surprisingly detailed Manhattan.
