The Amazing Spider-Man coming to PS Vita

According to executive producer Bill Chinn, The Amazing Spider-Man for PS Vita will maintain the "same spirit" of the console version, while "adding new energy" from the system's various features.

The game's Web Rush system--through which players can slow down time and determine how to move through the city of Manhattan--can be accessed through the PS Vita's touch screen. In addition, players will be able to pinch and zoom on the game's map to set waypoints and track locations.

Lastly, The Amazing Spider-Man on PS Vita makes use of the system's gyroscopic functionality to allow players to snap photos by aiming the device like they would an actual camera.
