Fallout 4 New Game+

• Fallout 4 New Game Tips

By Jonathon Dornbush

Insomniac Games has released Marvel's Spider-Man's newest updates, which add the much-anticipated New Game Plus mode, as well as a new difficulty level.

Insomniac published the patch notes for updates 1.07 and 1.08 for Spider-Man, which are now available to download on PS4. The biggest update is the addition of New Game+, a Spider-Man PS4 feature Insomniac confirmed soon after the game's initial launch.

1. Fallout 4 is a game that I will continue to come back to time and again. The explosive combat, extensive crafting system, settlement construction, and wasteland exploration are the hallmarks of this title. They are what make it great. If you're a fan of Fallout 3, New Vegas, or Skyrim, this is another open world game to enjoy.
2. Start new game. Complete character creation. Go out from bathroom. Recommended usage: 1. Disable all possible mods except 'Skip New Game Intro'. Start new game and skip intro. Enable back all mods. (Optional) Disable 'Skip New Game Intro' mod.

Removed text from a PlayStation Blog post earlier this week indicated that New Game+ would give players 'your unlocked suits, skills, gadgets, mods, and benchmarks from the beginning.'

The patch notes also confirm the arrival of 'Ultimate Difficulty' for those looking for a challenge, as well as two new trophies added to the entire game, one for beating it in New Game+ and one for beating the game on Ultimate difficulty.

The Advanced Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Marvelu0027s Spider-Man (2018)rn
rn
rnThe Advanced costume is Spideyu0027s default suit for the majority of the adventure, and one of the only costumes created by Insoniacu0027s artists specifically for the game. While reminiscent of Spideyu0027s classic costume, it sets itself apart with a prominent white spider emblem and other embellishments. Thanks to creator Otto Octavius, this suit also includes a wealth of technological upgrades that make Spideyu0027s hectic job a little bit easier.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> This costume will make its Marvel Comics debut this fall when Insomniacu0027s Spider-Man takes part in the multiverse-spanning Spider-Geddon crossover.','height':2160,'width':3840,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/01-1536805622502.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/01-1536805622502_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'02','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Classic Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Fantasy #15 (1962)rn
rn
rnInsomniacu0027s Spider-Man starts out wearing a more traditional version of his iconic costume. Legendary Marvel artist Steve Ditko first designed this suit way back in 1962, and itu0027s a look thatu0027s changed remarkably little over the years.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> It wasnu0027t until 1984u0027s Secret Wars #8 that Spider-Man finally retired his classic red and blues for a new costume.','height':1012,'width':1798,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/02-1536805622506.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/02-1536805622506_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'03','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Battle-Damaged Classic Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> n/arn
rn
rnItu0027s not long before Spider-Manu0027s classic suit gets torn to shreds in the game, necessitating his switch to the Advanced costume. This costume isnu0027t inspired by any particular Marvel story, but Spidey does have a habit of wrecking his clothes when going up against powerful enemies like Green Goblin, Juggernaut and Morlun.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Spider-Manu0027s classic costume was made from traditional spandex, but heu0027s developed a series of stronger, more durable suits to help protect him during particularly dangerous missions.','height':700,'width':1243,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/03-1536805622508.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/03-1536805622508_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'04','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Spider-Man 2099</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man #365 (1992)rn
rn
rnIn the year 2099, a new hero named Miguel Ou0027Hara stepped up to fill the void left by Peter Parker. This costume was designed by artist Rick Leonardi , and many fans still regard it as one of the best updates to the classic Spider-Man look. Thanks to the futuristic technology of his era, Miguelu0027s costume has all sorts of added benefits, including being constructed of near-indestructible u0022unstable moleculesu0022 and an air foil cloak that allows him to glide.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Miguel became the first Latino character (but not the last) to take up the mantle of Spider-Man.rn','height':733,'width':1305,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/04-1536805622510.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/04-1536805622510_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'05','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Spider-Man 2099 (White Version)</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Spider-Man 2099 Vol. 3 #1 (2015)rn
rn
rnDespite the enduring popularity of Spider-Man 2099u0027s costume, Marvel elected to give Miguel Ou0027Hara a new look (courtesy of artist Kris Anka) for his third ongoing series. The new costume came as a result of Miguel being stranded in the present-day Marvel Universe. Luckily for him, Peter Parker (who at the time was in charge of a multinational corporation called Parker Industries) stepped up to provide Miguel with a new suit featuring the most advanced technology 2015 had to offer. Hey, itu0027s better than nothing.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Miguel did eventually make it back to the year 2099 at the end of the series, though he temporarily died in the process.rn','height':1080,'width':1918,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/05-1536805622512.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/05-1536805622512_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'06','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Anti-Ock Armor</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Marvelu0027s Spider-Man (2018)rn
rn
rnDoctor Octopus has always proven to be one of Spider-Manu0027s most difficult foes. Even the proportionate strength and speed of a spider is no match for four super-strong tentacles that can move faster than the speed of thought. The climax of the game introduces the u0022Anti-Ocku0022 armor, a suit specially designed to counter Ottou0027s new toys. This is another costume created specifically by Insomniacu0027s artists for the game.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Ironically, Doctor Octopus became Spider-Man when he transferred his brain into the body of Peter Parker in a series called Superior Spider-Man.rn','height':720,'width':1280,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/06-1536805622515.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/06-1536805622515_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'07','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Big Time Stealth Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man #650 (2010)rn
rn
rnPeter Parker began working for Horizon Labs in a 2010 storyline called u0022Big Time.u0022 With access to new resources he never had as a struggling photographer, Peter was able to design a new series of costumes designed to specifically counter the abilities of his enemies. One of them was this stealth suit, designed by artist Humberto Ramos. The ability to turn invisible proved to be a valuable addition to Peteru0027s already impressive arsenal.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Though not featured in the game, this suit also has the power to deflect sonic attacks. When that power is active, the suitu0027s color changes from green to orange.rn','height':612,'width':1087,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/07-1536805622517.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/07-1536805622517_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'08','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Dark Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Spider-Man/Deadpool #8 (2016)rn
rn
rnu0022Darku0022 is an apt term for this suit, as it debuted during a particularly nasty chapter in Spideyu0027s career. In Spider-Man/Deadpool, Wade Wilson was hired to kill Peter Parker, not realizing that Peter also happened to be his buddy Spider-Man. Deadpool was eventually forced to retrieve Peteru0027s soul from the afterlife and the clutches of Mephisto, paving the way for this sinister-looking costume designed by artist Ed McGuinness.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Mephisto was previously responsible for eliminating Peteru0027s marriage to Mary Jane.rn','height':405,'width':720,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/08-1536805622518.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/08-1536805622518_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':'09','albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Electrically Insulated Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man #425 (1997)rn
rn
rnElectro is a dangerous opponent, one whou0027s come closer than most to killing Spider-Man over the years. This costume (designed by artist Steve Skroce) was the first of many attempts by Peter to counteract Max Dillonu0027s electric powers. The heavy padding provides much-needed insulation, but Peter has had to steadily improve upon the original design in order to keep up over the years.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Spidey teamed up with X-Man (a younger version of Cable from an alternate reality) the first and only time he wore this costume.rn','height':554,'width':985,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/09-1536805622520.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/09-1536805622520_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':10,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The ESU Costume</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Marvelu0027s Spider-Man (2018)rn
rn
rnThis costume was created specifically for the game and isnu0027t based on a specific comic book storyline. It is, however, an acknowledgement of Peteru0027s college years and his time as a student at Empire State University.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Peter eventually went on to earn his doctorate, though he had his degree revoked after being accused of plagiarizing Doctor Octopus (long story).rn','height':2160,'width':3840,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/10-1536805622523.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/10-1536805622523_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':11,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Fear Itself Spider-Man</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Fear Itself #7 (2011)rn
rn
rnMany of Spideyu0027s alternate costumes grant him new abilities, but only one truly grants him the power of a god. Artist Stuart Immonen designed this new suit, which is designed from the same enchanted metal that makes up Thoru0027s hammer. Its primary weapon is a pair of blade-firing wrist gauntlets. Unfortunately, Spidey only got to use his new suit once before Odin had it destroyed.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Along with Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel, Iron Fist, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, Red She-Hulk, Wolverine, Black Widow and Hawkeye all received Asgardian upgrades in Fear Itself.rn','height':1518,'width':2697,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/11-1536805622526.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/11-1536805622526_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':12,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

The Homemade Suit</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Captain America - Civil War (2016)rn
rn
rnIn many incarnations of the Spider-Man saga, Peter designs a rudimentary, homespun costume before developing the classic, sleek suit we know and love. This particular costume is modeled after the one seen in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition to protecting his secret identity, this crude costume helped Peter deal with the overload of sensory input created by his newfound powers.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Marvel Studios had contingency plans for Captain America: Civil War in case their negotiations with Sony fell through and Spider-Man wasnu0027t able to appear.rn','height':425,'width':756,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/12-1536805622527.png','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/12-1536805622527_{size}.png','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':13,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Iron Spider</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Spider-Man - Homecoming (2017)rn
rn
rnThe MCU version of Spider-Man got a big upgrade in Infinity War. This Tony Stark-designed suit is far more durable than Spideyu0027s usual suit and features a series of retractable arms similar to those of Doctor Octopus. The suit (designed by concept artist Ryan Meinerding) also features an updated color scheme that reflects Tony Starku0027s love of red and gold.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> In the comics, Spider-Man wore a similar suit in the 2006 crossover Civil War, though that costume was entirely red and gold.rn','height':1080,'width':1920,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/13-1536805622529.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/13-1536805622529_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':14,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Last Stand Spider-Man</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 2 #58 (2003)rn
rn
rnThe Spider-Man of Earth-312500 is a much older and more pessimistic alternative to the traditional Peter Parker. Thatu0027s reflected in his costume (designed by John Romita, Jr.), which is a more rugged and utilitarian take on the classic Spider-Man design.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> This version of Spider-Man was responsible for killing several of his long-time villains, including Kraven the Hunter and Doctor Octopus.rn','height':702,'width':1249,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/wwwcbr-comspider-man-last-stand-b5cac67c54fda71c0ca564b5f5fcc88943a3a0c2-1536805622558.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/wwwcbr-comspider-man-last-stand-b5cac67c54fda71c0ca564b5f5fcc88943a3a0c2-1536805622558_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':15,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Spider-Armor Mark II</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man #656 (2011)rn
rn
rnSpider-Sense is easily one of Peter Parkeru0027s most useful abilities, and the only reason heu0027s still alive after all these years. So when his Spider-Sense temporarily shorted out, Peter was forced to design a new suit of armor to compensate for his diminished reflexes. This costume was designed by artist Marcos Martin.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Peter also compensated for his lost Spider-Sense by training with Shang-Chi and developing a new form of martial arts called u0022Spider-Fu.u0022rn','height':719,'width':1279,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/14-1536806237993.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/14-1536806237993_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':16,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Spider-Armor Mark III</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man #682 (2012)rn
rn
rnThis incarnation of the Spider-armor (designed by artist Stefano Caselli) came at the tail-end of Peteru0027s career at Horizon Labs. His most advanced creation to date, this armor was designed to counteract the abilities of each member of the Sinister Six. It became a critical tool during a 2012 storyline called u0022Ends of the Earth,u0022 as Doctor Octopus tired to rally the Six to help him destroy the world via global warming.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> One of this suitu0027s unique tools is a heartbeat sensor that allows Spidey to detect Chameleon no matter what disguise he might be using.rn','height':1080,'width':1920,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/15-1536805622532.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/15-1536805622532_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':17,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Spider-Armor Mark IV</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 4 #1 (2015)rn
rn
rnFor a brief period, Peter Parker was on top of the world when he opened his own company, Parker Industries, and became one of the most powerful business tycoons in the world. That allowed him to create a sleek new costume (designed by artist Alex Ross) made of liquid metal nano-tech. With an advanced HUD and access to drones and other high-tech gadgets, Spider-Manu0027s reach extended farther than ever.rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> This suit, along with Parker Industries as a whole, was destroyed during the events of 2017u0027s Secret Empire.rn','height':897,'width':1595,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/16-1536805622534.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/16-1536805622534_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':18,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Negative Spider-Man</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Spider-Man #90 (1998)rn
rn
rnNormally, the Negative Zone is part of the Fantastic Fouru0027s jurisdiction, but Spider-Man found himself traveling to this otherworldly dimension in order to save a group of stranded New Yorkers. In the process, his costume transformed from its usual red and blue color scheme to a distorted black and white look (one designed by artist John Romita, Jr.).rn
rn
rnTrivia:</strong> Despite its name and appearance, this costume has no connection to the villain Mister Negative, as it predated his debut by about a decade.rn','height':2160,'width':3840,'url':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/17-1536805622536.jpg','styleUrl':'https://assets1.ignimgs.com/2018/09/13/17-1536805622536_{size}.jpg','credit':','objectRelationName':','objectRelationUrl':','albumName':'Spider-Man: A History of Every Costume in the PS4 Game','relativePosition':19,'albumTotalCount':39},{'caption':'

Spider-Man Noir</h2>rn
rn
rnFirst Appearance:</strong> Spider-Man Noir #1 (2009)rn
rn
rnThe Spider-Man of Earth-90214 is a very different character from his traditional counterpart. This world gives the Marvel Universe a dark, pulpy makeover. Accordingly, this Spider-Man (designed by artist Carmine Di Giandomenico) eschews brightly colored spandex in favor of a rugged grey suit. This is a Spider-Man who prefers to stick to the shadows, not unlike a certain Caped Crusader.rn
