In the ever-evolving landscape of the video game industry, remasters and remakes have become the trend du jour. Following the resounding success of Insomniac's "Marvel's Spider-Man," a former developer is now fervently eyeing the prospect of remaking one of the classic Spider-Man games.
Spider-Man is one of Sony's most popular characters from movies to video games. Most recently, Insomniac's Spider-Man sequel has garnered a lot of praise from gamers and critics. However, long before Marvel's Spider-Man was released, Sony already had a best-selling Spider-Man game for the PS1 from NeverSoft. The studio brought Spider-Man to the 3D era and was the blueprint for the open-world titles we see today.
With the progress of gaming technology, one of the developers of the original game expressed interest in remaking Spider-Man for modern-day gamers. In an interview with GamingBible, Neversoft lead designer Chad Findley stated that he would like to have a shot at recreating the original game despite the licensing nightmare the studio would have to go through.
