That first bit with the extra assets on the title screen makes me think that maybe they were playing around with what it would look like, and when it was decided on, the devs just moved what wasn't used out of frame, instead of deleting it and risking something going wrong.

This is genuinely one of the most interesting episodes of Boundary Break. A lot of really neat stuff going on both in front of and behind the camera in this game.

6:06 During the museum break in mission in the silver lining dlc, as your looking for the security guards fingerprints to access the cameras, you can find this crossword puzzle and peter notes how kumquat doesn’t quite make sense

The assets off to the side in the menu screen may be Peter's apartment and the few buildings you see in the opening cutscene so that the game can just start right up when you select new game instead of putting you through another loading screen.

This series is, for the most part, just How it’s made but for games, and I love it

Back when the game fits came out, there was a bridge that didn’t have a boundary making the player go back. It was cool to see the far off background in all its 140p glory.

2:02 The stretched building on the title screen is what happens with "texture clamping" enabled when the edge of a texture is reached but the polygon still continues. I presume the billboard was too big in the initial draft of the freshly 2D-ified title screen and they "fixed" it by adjusting the texture scale to shrink and lower the city, rather than changing the polygon itself.

I love the paralax illusion trick! It's so interesting learning about different tricks developers use to make in game worlds more believable!

10:59 - That Sunlight and the shot of the Statue of Liberty and the River reminds Me so much of Spider-Man 2. Swinging around at the crack of Dawn or In the Evening and just watching the City go by. All Is so peaceful and quiet... Until a Kid loses Their Balloon for the 50th time.

This is a great episode, and the parallax window trick is crazy, when you pushed the camera through the window I was still shocked it's all flat despite hearing how it works and seeing the perspective broken

Insomniac always delivers when it comes to details in games, it's amazing to see the amount of work they put in the little things. Great episode!

Wow I honestly feel like we are learning some industry secrets here, this is an incredible video. I would love to see this with more cinematcially driven games like The Last of Us or the Uncharted Series

this is pog, i literally was searching your channel 2 days ago for a spiderman episode, thank you!

One thing that I thought was cool that I found out just using the base version of the game on PlayStation 4, is that while using photo mode if you're very careful and slow, you can look inside of the web shooter model, and even though it's not really important it still has a high amount of detail and the capsule that holds the web is rendered inside of it. Well there are no actual webs inside it, as it simply just a small 3d texture, on the inside of the shooter where the capsule ends is actually where the web models load in when you shoot them.

Theeee best boundary break yet honestly, props to the spiderman devs for optimizing the game so much, and all the modders for making the free cam, so that you guys could deliver such an awesome episode tbh

I don't know if you would find anything interesting, but I've always been curious of the behind the scenes stuff of the Hitman 3 game. The glacier engine is a very unique engine, and I wonder what unique features it has compared to other games

This must have been one of the most interesting episodes! Great job! Really gets to show how graphic bomb games like Spider-Man do their tricks!

I just wanted to say man your one of the reasons I got into game dev. Thanks for being inspirational

I really enjoyed the technical explanation bits in this video! I'd be neat to see more stuff like that in the future.

Love the technical aspects in this video, keep em coming!

As others have said, really enjoyed this episode because it's just really interesting to see all the details and tricks that developers put into rendering their games and specific scenes. Stuff like parallax mapping is always particularly interesting to see, especially with how simplistic many of those techniques were when they were first introduced, I love how devs continue to iterate on those kinds of ideas to make them more and more realistic while still serving the purpose of low budget rendering

I love that you have kept this series going! huge inspiration to game devs

The parallax scrolling / 3D texture stuff was really cool! And Snipey is a really good narrator too. Good work on this one.

Bro I love you guys so much keep up the good work so glad I clicked that bell cause the “personalized” notifications don’t do crap and I’ve been watching for awhile now but I’ve been here every Friday since the schedule change

This really was one of the best Boundary Break episodes. I loved the deep explanation of parallax occlusion mapping. That's a super interesting technique that I didn't know about. Thank you!

For the title screen, maybe they were planning on Spidey having a few set poses in different locations that were either random or set by how far you've progressed in the game?

You can absolutely tell the cutscenes were made by professionals from marvel. Completely changing the positions of things, as well as little lighting details all between each individual shot all to make it look just right. Incredible!!!

Really impressed by the technical knowledge here! Using all the proper terms and explaining them expertly!

This was actually so cool it was like watching a behind the scenes it was neat seeing how they pulled those camera tricks!

Love the Louie Zong & Brian David Gilbert shoutout! What a great idea for a playlist!

I have been waiting for this for a long time. The vid is really good!

This is the first video ive seen on your channel and I have to admit I am completely hooked on the idea of out of bounds secrets!! it has instantly and single handedly replaced my love for special effects in movies and behind the scenes content (everything now is just CGI ) I am really looking forward to watching every single one of these and any new stuff you post! You have a new fan dude! 😄

I'm usually not fazed by weird/creepy looking stuff but glitched bodies/textures in video games always gets me for some reason

Good on you, SnipeyFox. You know I come here for the low poly birds!

6:17 I like to think Peter does these wrong anyways and no one is around to tell him no.

So happy to see that your vids are finally taking off now. I've been around since about 100k and the views are the best I've seen so far. Keep up the good work man and hit that 1 million subs. Lets go for the gold bro

I think this is one of the best episodes of boundary break. As an aspiring game developer, the subtle educational value is really appreciated...I didn't actually know about parallax occlusion maps before this.

This was a really interesting episode. It's cool to learn about all the complex tech they use for showing things like that. Nice.

Great stuff as always! Thanks guys

2:02 - that'll be because the plane with the skyline texture is bigger than the texture itself and the texture is set to use clamp wrapping i.e. the pixels at the border are repeated beyond the texture boundary.

16:57 Omg, they were teasing white cube from Spider-Man 2!

The parallax scrolling definitely surprised me. Great video!

The Oscorp Tower at 19:10 was truly amazing! I can't believe how many objects are still being rendered behind the building!!!

Your channel is one of the most educational channel for a game dev! Lots of technique to take away from these triple A studios

that could of been an hour longer for me, really enjoyed it. The scary images early on tho are gonna haunt me for a while.

@18:18 _Ministry of Silly Walks_ is that you? **Mr. Monty Python has entered the chat**

Really loved the technical explanations!

Loved the Distractible cameo alongside BDG in the sponsored segment

10:00 This is more horrifyng than any horror game I hav ever seen

After I saw the results for the pole I’ve been so excited for this video

I literally went to your channel yesterday to see if you had a video on this game and the next day you upload it?? The odds!

I’m really glad they adapted Kate and Kevin into a video game. It’s so much fun being able to play the 2 player co-op with me as Kevin and my wife at Kate

Very interesting that random buildings have so much detail inside for no reason when they shouldn’t even need be there

17:15 actually nightmare inducingly horrifying. that image has genuinely imprinted on my mind and will haunt me.

the bit about the webs at 16:20 can actually be seen in normal gameplay by jumping off a really tall building (like the avengers tower) and doing the downward slam thing (forgot the name)

I doubt it, but maybe the title screen potentially had other versions of how Spiderman would be seen. Similar to the loading screen in the subway. Spiderman in an arcade, Spiderman on a treadmill, Spiderman relaxing on a chair reading a comic book or having a pizza, who knows. But they didn't look good, so they left it alone.

5:20 that text is actual source code from the Linux kernel. (linux/kernel/groups.c to be precise). It's from an old version, though, and I think it's from one version in 2011. How do I know that? Because, although it's mixed up, I'm pretty sure it's the same source code that the HackerTyper website uses to fake animated code. That's how I was able to recognize it on sight. Why 2011? Because that's when HackerTyper was made, and that's when it took a local copy of the Linux source file to use as the example. (Except for comments and compiler directives, there's a version of group.c in the Linux source code from 2011 that is identical to the one in HackerTyper.)

I have been waiting for this episode for a while. Specifically I've been wanting to learn how they did the windows, which thanks to you guys I now know is called Paralax Mapping. I once spent over 45 minutes talking with an engineering friend trying to figure out how they could have done it. We also decided not to look up anything as it was a lot of fun just testing the environment to see what we could learn. That's how we found out each "room" inside had the same dimensions, despite window size, and if they wouldn't physically work beside another half size window, and they were optical illusions. We even found a building in which the textures inside the rooms were messed up due to not being the same dimensions as all other rooms for whatever reason. Thank you for finally covering this, my wife stared at me during this entire segment knowing my questions were finally being answered. Easily one of my favourite episode so far!

Its amazing how optimized some things are, and than at other times there are entire sections of models and characters that are never seen or distant geometry that never unloads.

This is perfect timing, I just finished 100% this game, and this is one of the first things I see in my recommendations.

i was just looking for a mod to go out of bounds and then u ipload this

Love these behind the scenes things, especially on games I love. I had ps4 version but I bet the same things are there

that's so cool, I'm amazed how much the cinematics they rendered in real time. So used to pre-rendered work in triple a games like the Last of Us.

16:51 DUDE, OH MY GOD IT'S THE HYPHEN THE HYPHEN BETWEEN SPIDER AND MAN

The video doesn't mention it, but if you swim far enough away from the main island, you can clearly see and clip through the Low Poly boats and people.

You have no idea how hard I popped off over Breezy Slide, sir you have made my day

When I was playing it on my ps4 a few years back, I found that if you're on the college mission just before you crawl out of the window to the wall outside, and either go into the camera mode or some other action, you'll break the camera and have full control over it and you'll be able to look around freely. Not sure if you still can do it though.

The weird walking animation at 18:07 is the "going down a set of stairs" animation. When you go under the map and look at the subways area, the npc's does the same thing to just climb on the other side of the street

With the parallax mapping of rooms thing, I would like what it looks like if you can fool the game to think that the camera is locked in position x, but you move around looking it, while the game thinks you're staying still

One of the first things I had to check when I booted this up on my pc was to see if they updated the creepy polygon models on the boats on the edge of the map and came to find out the devs put sticky notes on them that say "miss us?" I thought that was so great lol

I will always see that new Peter face as Scott Wozniak Parker. Edit: I love seeing all the hidden animation techniques off the camera.

Dang....that title screen bit was impressive, they added a lot of detail this is so sweet!

Beautifully done

Was waiting for this one!!!

Wish these videos were longer, i could watch this for hours.

Found someone stealing your content on tiktok, just reuploading your videos, so i just typed out of boundery spiderman and found this original. Really nice concept and a really great video, this was super interesting, new sub here!

Wow, lots of unusual tech on display! Some stuff really looks like one of those, "Wait, what do you mean the game shipped already?" situations where developers hope nothing breaks _too_ much.

I was waiting for this!!!

Spider-Man: Swings web Uncle Ben: I gotchu

that Osborn one scared the ever living everything out of me

Spending 5 minutes just for the title menu? This episode is gonna get real good

Best Episode officially 🙌🏻💪🏻

how doc ock's arms come out of his body is something i've always wondered

Amazing episode, thanks so much!

The full city zoom out blows my mind

You should Boundary Break the Wolfenstein series, I believe it would be pretty cool. Great video too!

Funny enough is that at 17:57, i actually saw this glitch in the flesh during the miles morales stealth mission as he is trying to get to the homeless shelter (this was on the ps4 version of the game way before it got ported to pc). This randomly happened as i was near the shelter and every model around me for about 45 seconds to a full minute were like this until they resumed and became normal. Also, i got this game, well...borrowed this game from my dad's friend a while back when it came out a few months after. I had no internet during that time so i knew i was doing the legacy version (pretty much before the game got updates). i was freaking out actually and had it recorded a while back but i think i deleted it. it was really something though as i just witnessed denim people invading new york for a minute xD

18:05 hitting the griddy for spiderman

Oh I walked right up to a couple of those low detailed npcs. Was a sight to see

Snipey this is some incredible work

Going to the outskirts of the map would’ve been really cool

They probably load a ton of random assets in the menu to help speed up starting the game, makes it smoother when pressing Start Game.

I think it should be done a part 2! show whats on the other side os the rivers, and the plane, and when peter wares the mask if his face is still there...

See we keep asking "but...why?", when to me this shows how absolutely above and beyond Insomniac went with this game...doing so many tiny things they didn't need to do in moments most people would never actually see.

So I managed to clip through the floor when I was playing SpiderMan. Basically I forced myself to enter the floor by hitting the part of the subway trains that didn’t have the hit box. Not sure if anyone else found that. Really fascinating when I managed to clip in one of the buildings and just looking at the people walking by. Oh and when I clipped into the ground after awhile of swinging underground I despawned. Turns out the ground is possible to web swing off of.

I was hoping you guys would make a video on this, definitely not disappointed!

Great episode! Kind of disappointed we didn't get a look at the city on the other side of the river though.

Unexpected that you were gonna make this video, I was just playing this now as of typing this.

In the interior of one of (or maybe multiple) game stores there’s glass cases that house NES and SNES style game cartridges in them and even consoles. I found it a couple days ago and thought it was super cool.
