Creating Reactive and Superpowered Allies for 'Marvel's Spider-Man 2'
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a fast-paced, high-spectacle, action game where Marvel Super Heroes team up to take down both street-level criminals and high-stakes Super Villains. Having a hero as agile and powerful as Spider-Man challenged us to find creative solutions to create powerful and responsive allies. Allies need to match pace with Spider-Man, adapt to each player's playstyle, and be present throughout gameplay in a way that is believable. In this talk I will detail the methods we used to adapt to player input and playstyle, build sharable ally modules that can be customized for character expression, and create team up mechanics that dynamically support player actions to add spectacle without disrupting player intent.
