Spider-Man 2 for PS5: Aiming for Quality over Quantity

Senior Game Director Reveals Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Playtime Strategy

Insomniac Games, the developer behind Spider-Man 2, aspires to provide a more tightly focused narrative. Smith explained, “We really thought about how to make each of the [story] moments… a little more epic, or a little deeper, or a little more story-integrated.” This commitment to enhancing storytelling within the game hints at a deeper and more emotionally resonant Spider-Man experience.

Evolving Open-World Design

Smith also touched upon the developer’s approach to open-world design in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. He noted that Insomniac Games is continuously evolving its strategy. The goal is to ensure that every discovery in the game world contributes to the overarching story. This strategy aligns with player preferences, as previous titles that integrated story elements into the open world received positive responses from players.
