    Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Utilizing "4D Character Scans"

    And other marketing speak.

    Insomniac Games took to the PlayStation Blog today to talk about some of the cool tech that will be utilized in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

So it's not quite a full sequel, one of which is still presumably coming at some point, but it's also a fair bit more robust than an add-on.

    Will it be priced accordingly?...

    The Nether Update for Minecraft is Out June 23

    Big additions are coming to Minecraft.
