– We are very happy with both of them, says Doug Sheahan. And he is not just anyone.
Sheahan is so-called director of programming at Insomniac Games, and for 15 years he has developed games for the company. In a chat with VG, he says that Miles Morales has been a very important addition to the universe.
– When we made the first game, there were many people at Insomniac who had read the comics and were very invested in Peter. And then, when we introduced Miles, there was a whole new group that felt represented, and that felt that their passion and “their” Spider-Man was being unleashed.

In the game, the player should be able to easily switch between the two spider-boys, and Sheahan and the team have worked a lot to make the audience feel the chemistry between them.
– We were very keen that Miles’ story is his own, that Peter’s story is his own, but that the stories support each other. And through the script, and the acting of Yuri and NadjiYuri and NadjiYorui Lowenthal plays Spider-Man in the games, while Miles Morales is played by Nadji Jeter. , then the bond between them feels very special.
It has nevertheless been important that Miles and Peter feel like two different characters.
– We lean quite heavily on what makes Miles unique as Spider-Man. He has his own abilities, but the animation team has also given him a very clear body language through animation. The way he swings, the way he runs, he’s always a little looser. We have always talked about Peter as a world-class gymnast. He is experienced, sharp and precise. Miles is much looser.

Premiere on villain
The game will offer a reunion with several well-known supervillains from the Spider-Man universe, including Lizard, Sandman and Venom. All have previously been portrayed in various films and games.
There is still one villain who seems to be the main antagonist, but who perhaps not everyone is as familiar with: Kraven the Hunter. A Russian big game hunter, who travels to New York to hunt spiders.
– We wanted a villain that the fans could enjoy, but also one that we could leave our mark on. There have been a few different representations of Kraven over the years, but not so much outside of the comics medium. We saw him as an opportunity to do something unique. His motives are completely different from Otto and Martin LeeOtto and Martin LeeOtto Octavius, aka Doctor Octopus and Martin Lee, aka Mister Negative are two of the villains from the first game. theirs in the first game.
– I love what we have achieved, and his interaction with Peter. How Kraven tries to bring out the worst in him. For us, it was really fun to showcase something that wasn’t that well known outside of comics.

“We’ve ruined the game!”
Although the game will only be available to players on Friday, one point has already received a lot of attention. “Fast travel” “Fast travel” A function that should make it easier for the player to efficiently travel around a large world. It often works by placing a marker on your map, and after some loading time you are at your destination. – the function works so quickly that people on social media struggling to find a counterpart.
According to IGN needn’t such a journey take more than a scant second and a half longer.
But the “fast travel” function is not only uncontroversial. Some players have believed for years that this possibility goes beyond the curiosity of the player, and takes away part of the discovery segment of games. When you can teleport from A to Z, you might not bother checking what’s in between.
– It’s about respecting the player’s time. Some games drag out the playing time because it takes time to get through the world. We have a team that has had great ambitions to develop “fast travel” and ask “how far can we push this?”, says Sheahan.
Still, he admits he was skeptical.
– The very first thing I thought was “oh my God, we’ve ruined the game”. People are just going to jump around, I thought. But it’s about balance. I think we found that balance in this game. We have divided the map into districts, and you have to solve different tasks in each district before you can unlock “fast travel”. So the player has to actually explore first.
