Interesting Spider-Man: Miles Morales Bug Provides Behind-The-Scenes Look at Cutscenes

gamerant.com:

Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a successful spin-off for many reasons, with one of the biggest contributors being its strong story. Memorable cinematics are integral to that storytelling, and one Spider-Man: Miles Morales player has stumbled across a bug that shows how these scenes are crafted.

Usually, bugs in Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Marvel’s Spider-Man are more likely to be strange than they are interesting. For example, some Spider-Man: Miles Morales players have unlocked super speed for the young wall-crawler, while others have seen him randomly transforming into objects found throughout New York City. As for the original game, Doctor Strange-like portals have appeared, and gamers have gotten Peter Parker stuck inside walkways. As shown by a recent glitch, however, not all bugs need to be odd.

Much like the Marvel’s Spider-Man Symbiote suit bug, the clip has gotten fans of the webslinger talking. Posted by Reddit user LilArturo, the bug is seemingly caused by entering the pause menu at the exact moment that a cutscene is about to begin. After a brief look at the map and Miles’ suits, LilArturo returns to the game to see Miles unnaturally move into position on top of a pole. A cutscene then begins to play out, with Miles talking to his mentor Peter.

The interesting thing about the clip is that the player has essentially stumbled their way into one of the cutscene tools used by Insomniac Games. In the top right corner, the cinematic can be seen playing out, showing off all the interesting angles used for the final version that shipped with the game. The majority of the player’s screen, however, shows the cutscene from a different angle.
