Horton has a pretty impressive resume to his name so far, with work on huge projects for Electronic Arts, DreamWorks, Disney Interactive, The Collective, Vivendi, and more. He also has a very eclectic background, as well – from the journeying wiles of Lara Croft, to his work on titles like Call of Duty – this man has a plentiful background that is sure to be a huge asset to the PlayStation 4 exclusive Spider-Man title!

Starring the world’s most iconic Super Hero, Spider-Man PS4 (working title) features the acrobatic abilities, improvisation and web-slinging that the wall-crawler is famous for, while also introducing elements never-before-seen in a Spider-Man game. From traversing with parkour and utilizing the environment, to new combat and blockbuster set pieces, it’s Spider-Man unlike any you’ve played before.”
