Spider-Man PS4 Behind the Scenes – Action Sequence Breakdown August 28, 2018

In a surprising move, Marvel’s official YouTube channel published this behind the scenes video on the upcoming Spider-Man game. This particular focuses on what goes into making an in-game cutscene. Most of the video focuses on what went into making the climatic final scene from the E3 2018 demo, but the procedures they describe could apply to almost any in-game cutscene. It’s great to know that the games industry is on the cutting edge of filmmaking.

While the video is short it is really well made. I’d love to see more of these BTS videos on the lead up to the game’s release.
