Adaptation Deviation: The game is set in a clear Alternate Continuity from the comics, with many characters going in wildly different directions, largely taking them from various other universes or adaptations. When Otto reacts less than amusedly, Peter apologies for his habit of making bad jokes in tense situations, only for Otto to chuckle and tell him it was actually a good one.
Actually Pretty Funny: When Otto's new prosthetic prototype fails and he angrily blames Osborn, Peter jokes that he knows who Otto isn't voting for in the election. The fact the Wilson Fisk fight is one of the better boss fights gets the feeling of being Spider-Man down pat. It sets up the plot as well as establishes this version of Spider-Man as a complete badass. Action Prologue: The start of the game has Peter Parker assault Fisk Tower and manage to take down Wilson Fisk, one of the most iconic villains of the Marvel universe. It comes with the suit power Resupply, which continually resupplies your gadgets as long as the ability is active, acting as an Infinity -1 Sword.
Said suit is the "Anti-Ock" suit, a metal suit seemingly made out of the same materials as Ock's arms.
Just before Peter goes off to fight Octavius, he returns to Octavius Industries and constructs a powerful suit to help him in his fight against the mad doctor. Shortly into the final Mary Jane stealth segment, she picks up a stun gun, allowing her to taze enemies from behind. It was announced that in March 2019, the events of the game, along with behind-the-scenes paraphernalia and commentary will get a comic book adaptation in Marvel's Spider-Man: City at War, a 6-issue series written by Dennis Hopeless and illustrated by Michele Bandini. He made his comic book debut in Spider-Geddon by Christos Gage (co-writer of the game's script). This version of Spider-Man was later inducted into the Marvel Multiverse as the Peter Parker of Earth-1048.
