Get dunked
Splishy splash. Now New York City is as wet as you want it.
The lead-up toSpider-Man‘s launch was dampened by a short-lived controversy over Insomniac removing puddles from the final game. Deemed “Puddlegate” (not everything needs to be a -gate), some people were very upset about this. The Big Apple had dried out a bit and that didn’t sit well with everyone.

As part oftoday’s major New Game+ update, Insomniac has a bit of fun at Puddlegate’s expense. As Insomniac’s user interface/user experience lead Gil Doron tweeted, the developer added two puddle stickers to Photo Mode:
We have a new patch today! Not only do we have NG+, but we added a bunch of stuff in Photo Mode, including:stickersframesrotation for stickersshortcut to Photo Mode with the D-Pad……and I fixed this for you 🙂pic.twitter.com/SW7Jxrxab6
