The Surprising Inspiration Behind the Intro to Marvel's Spider-Man | Art of the Level

With Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered now released on PC, IGN sat down with some of the game’s devs to talk about how the introduction cinematic of Peter Parker’s apartment came to be and how one ‘80s cinema classic heavily inspired the entire process. This is Art of the Level.

The intro to this was definitely on par with superhero games like Batman Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Definitely sets the right tone and energy.

Yes!!!!

[@1deep803]

Agreed. The intro to an amazing game that was my GOTY choice.

[@33Raylight]

That audio sync at 1:19 though. Perfection.

Wow yea someone thought of that for sure!

[@anshoomaanrajvansh1199]

[@samushunter0048]

One of the best intro's in gaming history. Also love how they just put you right into the action just seconds from the intro.

It's almost as if respecting the character(s) and knowing what they're all about is a fantastic idea and can lead to a superb end product :P

[@Infinity-has]

MCU shots 👀

[@HoodedSpidey]

@@Infinity-has DC too, look at Josstice League or Gotham Knights.

[@iniminipini]

Honestly, kinda wished they gave a shout to the band Warbly Jets for that great intro song, really fit with the whole Spidey persona

[@bbloomfield6497]

Was about to say the same. Especially during a 23 minute special on a 3 minute sequence. The song plays a huge part.

[@bcuzican_gaming]

Agreed, the back to the future themed intro compiled with the immediate action thereafter into the game, makes this one of the best intro's of all time imo. Man, makes me wonder what Insomniac could do with a back to the future license!!

Dev team should be proud of what they achieved with Spider-Man PS4. GREATEST SPIDER-MAN video game EVER, and one of the greatest comic book videogames.

[@TeamSoraPresents]

Yet another in-depth look into parts of this game that just makes me love it even more.

[@Marlesden]

The fact this has been posted now gives me hope for an update soon

[@nayeebG]

The cinematics are really movie like. 💛

[@Shado09246]

Love seeing the technical aspects and challenges the developers faced. In the end the game turned out amazing. Can't wait for the sequel

[@MaxBraver555]

even without them explaining in the interview, their intention from the intro is clear as day to me (outside of those easter eggs from the comics)

[@BlackHawk3927]

This is one of my favorite games of all time

[@chesareroach]

If they achieved this level of detail with the 1st game, then Spider-Man 2 is gonna be there Magnum Opus. Venom already confirmed. Wow

[@choibandrangx]

Still bothers me to this day he ate that bread that he webshooted.

[@TheGoddon]

Man, Spider Man lotus last swing was also great.

[@rayndooma5624]

Love this video series! Jonathon, IGN crew, awesome work!

[@Dr.Pepper15]

Really is a great opening. Insomniac couldn’t be more cool! Awesome work Jonathan.

[@BurnoutsAndBourbon]

These are literally the best things IGN puts out, kudos!

[@ilyapashkov6327]

Spider-Man being released on pc right before PS showcase and now this video a week prior the event. smells like we're up for a treat on the 10th :)

[@danieleanzaldi]

there's no confirmed showcase

[@baki484]

The 10th is ubisoft's showcase.

[@krthrvy]

the intro to this game was fantastic. it reminded me a lot of sam rami spiderman movies

[@iqbalkareem4313]

Best spider man game period no debate!! The story, combat, characters and New york city is just sooo freakin excellent.♥️

[@damonarchary1582]

Most badass intro to a game ever..on par with dino crisis 2 imo

[@localshowershitter7590]

[@_Cetarial]

One of the best PC games, that’s for sure.

1:20 that was smooth IGN ngl

[@distroyahd]

what a great way from Jonathan Dornbush to say goodbye!

[@jaypiff888]

Sad part is that SP2 won't be on PC. Maybe like a year after launch

[@princerajroy16]

Amazing that they used BTTF as a reference for this, very based, just like the game and the movie!

Of course Peter Parker would try to commit to having a houseplant then fail to take proper care of it. Thats probably the most relatable a superhero has ever been to me.

[@civilwarfare101]

This is more "art of a cutscene" than "art of a level".

Your every where dude also nice pfp

[@Venserql]

This would never work in the modern world full of smartphones and mass surveillance cause someone would've caught him jump out of that apartment window lol.

[@harshitmaggo]

If they werent so distracted only by the intro the stealth play would be better.

[@Frank.E.Valley]

Yes, because stealth is the that thing everyone loves about Spider-man. Why didn't they also show Spider-man flying around in his Bat-wing and shapeshifting into a bear?!

[@harshitmaggo]

@@Frank.E.Valley are you one of those people who never understands the mission objectives?

Dorno has an attention to detail voiced with genuine enthusiasm and engagement. I'll miss seeing his work at IGN 🥲. Great work Dorno!
