FULL STORY
======================================================================

 Marvels Spider-Man 2 may include a new AI technology to make the dialogue 
with NPCs realistic and enjoyable. 

It was first reported that Marvels Spider-Man 2 and Wolverine will have very 
cool dialogue technology by the lead programmer at Insomniac Games, Elan 
Ruskin, in a Twitch stream . Ruskin also pointed out that his favorite part 
of Insomniacs games is that they always run in frame. 

With the clock ticking down to Marvel's Spider-Man 2 release window, which 
will hopefully be towards the end of 2023, there are many aspects that I hope 
to see upgraded in the upcoming PS5 title, and dialogue is definitely towards 
the top of the list. New potential (Image credit: Sony Interactive 
Entertainment) 

While Ruskin didnt go into huge detail about what we can expect from this new 
dialogue technology, one feature seems more plausible than the rest. 

This feature could potentially be an AI that would allow dialogue with NPC 
characters to be more fulfilling for the player. This technology would 
hopefully allow for discussions with the many NPCs you encounter during your 
heroic escapades to feel more natural and fluid. Though we don't yet know all 
the details, its clear to see that this new dialogue technology will be aimed 
at making Marvels Spider-Man 2 more life-like than previous games. Steps 
forward (Image credit: Sony) 

While Im a fan of Marvels Spider-Man series, I cant say that the last title 
in the series, Marvels Spider-Man Miles Morales hooked me like the first game 
did. 

In the shadow of the first Marvels Spider-Man the action and dialogue in 
Miles Morales felt repetitive and tired. The powerful sense of Marvel fatigue 
I was feeling at the time also did the game few favors. Although Miles 
Morales exists outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , I couldn't help but 
find the superhero formula to be somewhat stale. 

This is where I hope the new dialogue technology will come in to breathe new 
life into Marvels Spider-Man 2 . Im tired of encountering either heavily 
scripted dialogue that feels like it jumped straight out of Kevin Feiges 
mouth or flat discussions with random NPC characters who dont even seem happy 
to see me. 

If Insomniac Games update the dialogue features with new technology, then I 
may start to look forward to playing Marvels Spider-Man 2 , if only to see 
how this attempt to breathe new life into the game's NPCs pans out. Marvel's 
Spider-Man Remastered shows a carefully considered PC strategy from Sony
