Video games have a come long way since the 90s. And while retro games are still very much in style, for certain franchises, the advancement in tech has been huge, such as Marvel games, which look and play completely different than they used to. Don't believe me? Well, there's a new video over on Reddit showing 2018 PS4 exclusive Marvel's Spider-Man next to 1991's Sega System 32 exclusive Spider-Man: The Video Game, and the differences are astonishing. Don't get me wrong, both look great, but it's crazy to see what 25 years can do.

As you can see in the video below, while Spider-Man games used to look like a generic game with a Spider-Man skin on them, now, Spider-Man games look like what you'd actually imagine a Spidey game to look like in your head.

As you will know, one of the greatest parts about Marvel's Spider-Man is swinging around Manhattan in-between giant New York skyscrapers while the city hustles and bustles through its day below you. This was something impossible to create back in the day, which is why those games don't feel immersive, though they are a ton of fun to play.

Marvel's Spider-Man is available for the PS4 and the PS4 only. At the moment of publishing, there's been no word of a re-release on PS5.
