Another Spider-Man PSVR Experience Releases This Week to Coincide with Far From Home

Get ahead of the cinemas

by Liam Croft Mon 24th Jun 2019

Spider-Man: Far From Home doesn’t hit cinemas until the very beginning of July, but a new PSVR experience coming later this week will give you the chance to don the Spidey suit early.

The release sounds a lot like the experience that released alongside Spider-Man Homecoming - a short but sweet swing across Queens as Peter Parker himself. There'll be four different suits to pick between and a dangerous enemy to deal with once the headset is firmly in place. "In breathtaking virtual reality, you'll finally have the chance to scale and swing from the highest towers in Manhattan." We assume that this release will once again be free of charge.

Will you be putting on the suit on to hype yourselves up for Far From Home? Avoid Aunt May in the comments below.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he's found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

That first Spiderman VR experience should have been called Spiderman The Tease VR. Yeah it was free, but it was 5 minutes long and ended with most people saying "OK, here we go, here comes the good part. Wheee..WTF?!?!"

@rjejr yeah but free, they didnt have to do it. I like the direction this is going though, but it probably wont stay free forever. More movies will do this kinda stuff and then, of course, one of them will charge for it.

@rjejr It was a free experience though, so they were hardly going to push the boat out.

@AdamNovice @Flaming_Kaiser @ellsworth004

A free Spiderman experience where you sit there doing nothing and it stops just before you do something Spidermany is like waiting on line for an hour at Disneyland to ride a ride then when you get to the ride they tell you the line was a ride.

@Flaming_Kaiser It does seem like nonsense to complain about free, and I complain about people complaining about free stuff all the time, but I'm justifying my complaint by saying I'm not complaining about the free stuff, I'm complaining about the way it was presented, so I'm complaining about false advertising. Spiderman PSVR didn't really have you play as Spiderman in it. If Batman PSVR - which I played and it was good - only let you play as Bruce Wayne I'd complain about that too.

If they were to have put out a free Godzilla PSVR game to coincide with the new movie but all you do is play as that girl sitting in the control room playing the radio I'd be annoyed as well.

I'll read the review before I take the time to download it, hook up my camera and PSVR headset, and set up the space in the middle of the room to play it. PSVR may be free, but it takes a bunch of time and effort on my end to play one of those games. When it takes me longer to set everything up than it does to play it that's kind of annoying.
