PlayStation has released a new trailer that shows off the pristine visuals ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2onPlayStation 5 Pro. The game, which recently received a dedicatedPS5 Pro mode, will run at 60 fps with additional ray tracing features.
Inthe trailer, senior art director Jacinda Chew describes how the developer’s desire to put “as much detail as we can into the characters and the environments” including the multitude of reflective surfaces found in real life was held back by the hardware limitations of the basePS5.
Senior creative director Bryan Intihar then adds that the final product was “a compromise between the creative vision and the technical limitations that we have”. In contrast, principle engine programmer Abdul Bezrati explains that the PS5 Pro “allows for higher fidelity” with “two to three times as fast” ray-tracing.
Bezrati also touches on the power of Playstation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaling, which “frees up a lot of the GPU to render pure graphics but also improves the visuals.” Overall, the developer describes “the jump in quality, fidelity, the extra detail in the distance” as “just unbelievable”.
Intihar then goes a little further, saying that “when players playMarvel’s Spider-Man 2on the PS5 Pro they are playing the quintessential version of the Spider-Man experience on the PS5”.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2is one of many games that will receive enhancements on the upcoming console, which is available topre-ordernow. Other confirmedPS5 Pro gamesinclude its predecessorsMarvel’s Spider-Man RemasteredandMarvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, in addition to games likeStar Wars Jedi: SurvivorandResident Evil Village.
