Insomniac Games' upcoming Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is already looking to be a great introduction of the developer's expanding Spider-Man series into the PS5 generation. Quickly become one of the most popular titles from PS5's showcase, fans of both Sony's gaming consoles and the full Spider-Man franchise are extremely excited for the standalone title featuring Miles Morales.
While players wait for news on the game and to get their hands on Spider-Man: Miles Morales, the star behind the titular character, Nadji Jeter, has given fans a sneak peek behind the scenes of production. In a new tweet, Jeter has shown a glimpse of his experience capturing the animations that feed into the incredible visual performance Insomnia has promised for the upcoming title.
The images that Jeter tweeted out shows himself in a full motion capture suit, complete with mocap face-paint and a mounted camera to capture his facial expressions and animations as he speaks lines. This is fairly standard for most AAA games looking for a realistic look in graphic fidelity, even games as short as Spider-Man: Miles Morales that still strive to push the expanded limits of the PS5. However, revealing that this type of detail is being put into the title, should come as a comfort to players that are worried that the game's length might be indicative of a lack of investment on the side of Insomniac.
It's likely that anyone who watched the Miles Morales trailer would have already come to the conclusion that the game was being motion-captured, thanks to the stunning visuals and animations found in what has been shown so far. Regardless, fans still enjoy seeing the behind the scenes work behind some of their favorite video games, even if the process could be speculated from the quality of the title itself. So Jeter's tweet is a welcome sight for fans looking for a closer look at the making of Insomniac's next Spider-Man title.
While there's little to be learned about the development process from these pictures, taking fans along with him through his experience of bringing Miles Morales to life is a great move on Jeter's part. This is the type of thing that gets people not only excited for the game, but to see what the actor's performance will bring to the character as he develops an early rapport with fans. All together, Jeter's behind the scenes look will likely get players primed even further to tackle the hours-long journey in Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
Marvel's Spider Man: Miles Morales is currently in development for PS5.
