History Headscratchers / SpiderManPS4

** And/or Spidey is intentionally pulling punches and only over the course of the fight does he increase the amount of force until he finds the right amount of strength to use. After all, Spidey can, in most interpretations, lift around 10 tons. Even a 1/10th of that would be enough to seriously harm someone.

* Why, exactly, does this version of Norman Osborne have a beef with Spidey? While having a vigilante running around doesn't look great (since it says the police can't handle things) Spider-man isn't a threat and shares many enemies with Osborne. JJJ has apparently been ranting against the Oscorp surveillance system and raising (very legit) concerns about Norman's use of his office to help Oscorp. Mr Negative and the Demons are openly out to destroy Osborne.[[spoiler: Doc Ock is similarly motivated by a vendetta against Norman.]] Despite this, Norman has the Sable Agents focus on Spider-man rather than on the people trying to ruin and/or murder him. This seems personal and beyond just needing a scapegoat.

** Possibly Norman Osborne's insistence that he has the situation under control keeps the Governor/ President from activating the National Guard. Legally they might have the power but as NYC mayor and politically active Oligarch Norman might be able to slow that down. [[spoiler: After the Devil's Breath is released the quarantine would keep everyone out, though the National Guard/Army might be enforcing it from the other side.

* On a similar note to the above, why isn't the government sending in the military to restore order to the city? You can't let a city go to hell on that scale if you want to be respected as a legitimate authority.

* How and more importantly where Peter Parker would pick up his clealy-trained Martial Arts Abilities in this game. Not only does Peter fight with clear, well practiced and actual RealLife Martial Arts techniques, but the directors of the game have gone on record to state that this Peter is actually proficient in Capoeira and La Lucahdores Wrestling (in addition to tthe obvious self taught Le Parkour Free Running).
In Ultimate Spider Man he was asked by a Heroic Triad Vigilante why he does not possess refined combat techniques, to which Peter answers “I would LIKE to not fight like a mental-patient; but if I go to a Dojo, with my strength I will definitely hurt people during training.” Ever the NiceGuy, Peter for the last 50 years refuses to learn Martial Arts so he would never worry about potentially hurting classmates.
So, without a Proper Teacher, Much Less a Wu-Guan/Dojo/Gym with training partners to practice with, how the heck does Peter Parker in the PlayStation Four Uinverse become such a precise, skilled and elegant Martial Artsit trained in proper Capoeira and La Lucahdores wrestling and even a bit of Boxing?

* Why is Spiderman the only hero saving New York? It makes sense at the beginning of the game when everything is going on behind the scenes, but after [[spoiler: all of the prisoners escape and NYC turns into war zone, with bioweapons and 6 dangerous supervillains on the loose, no one is there to help Spidey?]]
** [[MST3KMantra Would the game be any fun if the Avengers swooped in to save the day before you could?]] A more in-universe answer: the big time heroes are busy fighting HYDRA / an intergalactic threat / each other, the smaller time heroes living in New York are busy stopping the crimes and rounding up criminals that Spidey doesn't have time for offscreen.

* The Oscorp exhibit at Grand Central Station putting actual live devices on display instead of mere props, without so much as a safety wire or a glass case protecting it. What was to stop anyone from simply grabbing the device and running away with presumably a very expensive machine?

** When Silver Sable first confronts Spider-Man, she clearly takes him by surprise thanks to those restraints (you'll notice that following that cutscene, his Spider Sense now acknowledges Sable's soldiers as threats, allowing him to dodge the restraints afterward). When they confront each other the second time, Sable uses the same acrobatic move Captain America does in the MCU Civil War to use Spidey's own webbing to knock him down. The third time, Spider-Man is busy trying to open a heavy security door and simply doesn't have time to respond to her charging at him and shoving her guns in his face.

* Why does spidermans spider sense not work at times of cutscene? It should work at all times. And how does silver sable be able to kind of defeat spidey when as even a badass normal she should not be touching the guy who as a beginner could dodge bullets fired point blank at him.

** The vast majority of Spider-Man's villains either have superpowers themselves or are wearing armor that protects them to an extent. [[spoiler:Doctor Octopus]] could be particularly resilient because [[spoiler:his actual physical state is immaterial as long as he can maintain mental control of his artificial arms.]]

* How can certain characters (i.e Mr. Negative, Taskmaster, Scorpion, Vulture, [[spoiler: Doctor Octavious]] etc. Take so many ''punches''?

** In 616, Peter learns the [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Glossary:Way_of_the_Spider Way of the Spider]]. [=PS4=] Peter may have undergone some training from someone.

** The only logical explanation is that he's either self taught by watching instructional videos or has had one of his superpowered ilk teach him over the years.
