Brian Horton, the creative director of Insomniac Games, talks about this much-awaited Spiderman game and how it will feel absolutely stunning on the new Playstation 5, on the official Playstation blog.

Expanding the Spider-man universe with Miles Morales

In the E3 2017 trailer of Spider-Man, the developers had included Miles in a brief clip at the end of the demo.

Brian says that Miles’ multi-cultural background reflects a more modern, diverse world. His origin story as a Spider-Man was something that needed its own game. Brian adds,

“…we wanted to give players a new story, with new set-pieces, fresh villains, and unique quests across Marvel’s New York City. This had to be a can’t-miss next adventure in the Marvel’s Spider-Man universe.”

The gameplay is set in Harlem, where Miles lives now. The events pick up a year after the first game. “Marvel’s New York is covered in snow, and just before Christmas break, a war between an energy corporation and a high-tech criminal army has broken out. Miles’s new home in Harlem is at the heart of the battle.”, Brian says.

What more will PS5 add to the gameplay as a console

Insomniac Games is really excited to see how the game demonstrates the power of PS5’s enhanced hardware. Brian says that the game will almost negligible loading time, 3D audio, ray tracing, and the sensory experience of the DualSense Controller. He added that the characters have been made more realistic with 4D scans and improved skin shading.

“As you experience Miles’s story, you’ll see, hear, and feel things in a whole new way, all thanks to PS5.”

It seems that Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales might be even bigger than its predecessor, with a whole new gameplay experience with the powerful PS5.
