With the release of Spider-Man 2 just over a month away, developer Insomniac Games has started going all out to try and get us all excited for launch day.

For example, it was revealed in this interview that Spider-Man 2 players won't have to choose between Quality and Performance modes if they want ray tracing, as both will have the feature built in from the start.
