Insomniac Games has teased the “very cool” dialogue technology in its next game, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 for PS5. According to lead engine programmer Elan Ruskin, the tech will debut in the next game, leaving fans to guess what that might entail.
Will Spider-Man 2 PS5 have RPG-like dialogue options?
Ruskin teased the new tech during a live stream on Insomniac Games’ Twitch channel (via TwistedVoxel), which focused on racing in programming. Fans have speculated that Spider-Man 2 might feature RPG-like dialogue options or have more interactive and realistic conversations with NPCs.
The new technology can also feature more realistic lip movements and facial expressions during dialogue.
Insomniac Games are known for their creative and technical prowess, so we can’t wait to see what they do. The studio has kept its upcoming plans a secret, but we’ve been promised Spider-Man 2 is set to release later this year, so we’ll see something sooner rather than later unless Sony releases another God of War. Ragnarok. with a surprisingly minimal pre-launch showcase.
Sony is rumored to have a huge PlayStation showcase to coincide with E3 2023 (but separate from the industry event). Maybe we’ll find out more about this “very cool” new dialogue technology.
