Spider-Man fans have grown upset over the latest remaster of Spider-Man for PlayStation 5. The award-winning game was deemed to be one of the favourites at the time of its release back with PlayStation 4. However, with the entry of PlayStation 5, the makers have taken to remastering Spider-Man to better suit it for PlayStation 5. However, fans noticed several changes in the game and the game has thus garnered mixed responses.

The initial Spider-Man game had a protagonist that looked new and was quite different from the actors who have played the part of Spider-Man before. However, in the remaster for PlayStation 5, fans noticed that the protagonist Peter Parker looked strikingly similar to Tom Holland. The actor has played the web-slinger in several movies in the past, including two standalone films.

Several hashtags also went on to cause Bryan Intihar to respond to the outrage. In a tweet released earlier, the creative director mentioned that they are aware of the face change and the outrage it has caused. Further on, he also mentioned that they too took some time getting used to it.

However, he added that they at the studio believe that they are taking things forward with PS5 now in the mix and therefore the change they made becomes apparent.

Fans have loved Tom Holland as Spider-Man in the movies, however watching him be a part of the game did not go well with some. The audience called out the unwanted remaster and have since then begun trolling it. Fans were also quick to point out that the entire protagonist from the original game had been replaced with the one looking more like Tom Holland.

Further on, fans were also angered over the fact that the voice actor for Peter Parker in the Spider-Man game had also been replaced. Therefore, John Bubnaik has been replaced with Ben Jordan who will now be voicing the new Peter Parker. Fans expressed that they have mixed reactions over this decision as they wished to see no change with the protagonist.
