Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Has Beautifully Unhinged NPC Conversations

Listen closely, the real villains walk among us

Players enjoying the rich world of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 are starting to notice that the humble denizens of the city streets have a lot more going on than you’d initially expect. In between saving the world from lunatics in garish outfits, the Spider-Men have noticed they are also surrounded by far more mundane lunatics in plain sight.

Take for example, this entirely oddball conversation where an employed nanny reveals she is entirely out of her depth and questions exactly what kind of jelly or oil should be slathered on an infant to keep it happy:

The clarification that petroleum jelly is in fact NOT gasoline alone is worth your time, alongside the other myriad of tips for keeping a baby alive. It’s solid stuff.

This lead to another actress revealing that she actually has a role in the game as a yoga instructor, putting forth the challenge to find her. It took all of a minute, revealing that this was the tamest of her takes:

Insomniac, There is still time to add the more unhinged version to the game!

Many others have come forward explaining that they too have overhead proper, fully formed conversations that clearly resulted in the neglect of crime stopping – if only because of how enthralling the Tea in New York City could be:

Those that live in the big apple claim that the authenticity of these interactions is so uncanny the audio folk must have just roamed the city and shotgun-mic’d real people. The beautiful part is that the senior Audio Director of Insomniac Games, Jerry Berlongieri, is pretty cavalier with sharing neat stuff on his social media – for example, this banger clip that shows how they got the ‘street level’ chatter recorded:

Genuinely radical stuff to see in motion – so now we cross our fingers and hope this legendary dude sees fit to share more amazing pedestrian silliness. Until then, I am now happy to just idle my Spider-Man in tactical spots to unveil the weird tapestry of humans that exist in the game.

Oh, and please don’t put any kind of fuel on your kids. Just in case.

Have you noticed the madness that permeates the world of Spidey 2? Have you read my review, where I mention that the world is full of life at every crevice and cavity? Let us know in the comments or on social media.
