Spider-Man looks more realistic than ever with this engine!
When it comes to building heroes and villains, Marvel is a world leader that has presented all possible forms of characters with incredible abilities and powers that have left more than one surprised. In addition to having a multiverse in which each one has lived their own timeline, the different narratives have contributed to enriching the stories of all the universes and their inhabitants.
Of course, in this great list of characters we have Spider-man, who is one of the best known superheroes from the Marvel franchise since its first appearance in June 1692 (created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko). In fact, its creation was in response to the massive success of the Fantastic Four and the respective audience interest in heroes and comics. In this way, his individual series, entitled The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) led the character to great popularity for many reasons. The first of these was his fans’ fascination with his superhuman strength and combat powers, which come from a spider (after being bitten by a radioactive spider) and have involved him in a few missions involving villain hunting (as well as having formed alliances and collaborations with against their main enemies). On the other hand, we have his secret identity, which is Peter Parker, a young orphan, whose iconic phrase we cannot ignore: “with great power comes great responsibility.” Therefore, we could say that the friendly and optimistic personality of the character, an archetype of conventional hero, ended up winning a place in the hearts of fans.
Spider-Man’s aesthetic in contrast to his original figure
When we talked about the timelines in the multiverse, we meant that Spider-Man also has his alternate versions, although his traits have been practically unchanged over the years. But this does not mean that there cannot be technological improvements that allow the characters to have a more realistic touch depending on the hardware in question and a few updates; For example, the jump that the PS5 made with respect to the quality offered by the PS4, to mention some of the most significant changes between consoles.
However, this is not the only thing, as fans of Marvel and the franchise games often have ideas that improve their aesthetics and put them to work to show off their development skills. That said, there are some individual games that are determined by a particular engine from a particular developer, where the graphics have shown quite polished images on the Insomniac Games engine, for example. On the other hand, we have Unreal Engine 5 which starts to create incredible scenes and characters when it comes to reflecting reality. Y a fan of Spider-Man was in charge of modifying the character in the technical demo of Unreal Engine 5 used for The Matrix Awakens.
Apparently, the YouTubers Menterial and Lewis Fiford are responsible for its creation, faced with an entanglement in relation to the tasks they had to perform to achieve this great work, they finally clarified their authorship and it has been shared by “dwr”, another user of the platform. The Spider-Man model is inspired by Marvel’s Spider-ManAlthough it lacks certain details that the original animation offers, the look that The Matrix Awakens demo gives it in Unreal Engine 5 is interesting, as well as some incredible textures that contrast with the classic New York environment. You can see it below:
For its part, this demo of The Matrix Awakens in Unreal Engine 5 has generated quite a few discussions among the fan community due to its fantastic mods. Especially when you have to imagine other characters in an open world game and what their animation would look like. Although this demonstration gives free rein to the imagination of many of its fans, it is also an opportunity for future titles that can use the engine that, as you have seen, promises graphic quality and realism when it comes to rendering.
Finally, Spider-Man was remastered on PS5 along with Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, due to the technological improvements before PS4. Additionally, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales recently received a VR compatibility patch. And probably this mod could be compared to the very authentic and realistic environment that Unreal Engine 5 offers.
