Spider-Man PS4 is nearly here, and since the Insomniac game is scheduled to be released next month, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has officially revealed the age rating for the upcoming Marvel title.
As many of us expected, the wall-crawler's latest video game adventure has been rated "T" for "Teen," warning of drugs, violence, blood and language.
But if you want a slightly more detailed description of the kind of content that will be featured in Spider-Man PS4, the ESRB also provided a brief summary, which may contain some VERY minor spoilers.
“This is an action game in which players assume the role of Peter Parker/Spider Man in a fictional version of New York City. From a third-person perspective, players fight crime, swing around buildings, and engage in melee combat with various thugs. Characters mostly punch, kick, and throw each other during fights; some enemy characters also use pistols and machine guns. Combat is highlighted by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, impact sounds, and occasional slow-motion sequences. One cutscene depicts a character in the background shooting himself in the head; another cutscene depicts a mugger shooting an innocent character (just out of frame). Some missions/plotlines involve drug deals and “designer narcotics”; one scene briefly shows a duffel bag full of white packages of the drug. The word “sh*t” appears in the dialogue.”
In all, the material in the game doesn't sound too intense for younger players, as it doesn't appear to contain anything that's too different from what you'd see in your average the numerous Spider-Man films.
