Insomniac admits there's no lore reason Logan's suit in Marvel's Wolverine regenerates: 'You can't play through most of the game wearing just shredded rags on his body'
Insomniac Games has explained why Logan's suit in Marvel's Wolverine regenerates after fights, and its reason makes a lot of sense.
Insomniac Games has revealed the reason behind Wolverine's suit in Marvel's Wolverine regenerating after battles. Head of technology Mike Fitzgerald explained that there are practical reasons for this feature. He stated that players cannot continue playing the game through most missions wearing shredded rags on Wolverine's body.
The developer invested significant time in showing how damage progresses on Logan's suits and enemies, ensuring the suit's healing aligns with the game's cinematic feel. Senior project director Jess Reiner-Reed added that early on, players would see their clothes shredded for too long, negatively impacting their sense of power. Insomniac has explained that while Wolverine's suit heals after fights, the team still had to demonstrate the damage progression through the game.
They incorporated realistic blood effects, with particles spraying off enemies and washing away if they come into contact with water. Marvel's Wolverine will be exclusively available on PS5, launching on September 16.
