What's New and Fixed in the First-Day Update for "Spider-Man 2"?
The first-day update brought several new things to "Spider-Man 2." Players now have three different choices for how their controller vibrates and makes sound, letting them pick the setting that's best for their experience.
One key new feature is Auto Heal. With this, either Peter or Miles will heal up by themselves if they get seriously hurt, using up a full Focus Bar. You can even set when this Auto Heal kicks in. Plus, the Perfect Dodge move is now easier to spot, thanks to a new color option that stands out more.
