As the release of the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 approaches, it's stirring up significant controversy due to a noticeable absence of marketing, unopened pre-orders, and undisclosed system requirements. This silence from Sony has left fans and potential buyers in the dark, fueling speculation and frustration.
Sony's recent strategy has been to reduce the time between PlayStation game releases and their PC counterparts, a move that previously sparked backlash from console loyalists. However, challenges like the underwhelming sales of Final Fantasy 16 might be prompting Sony to reassess its approach to PC ports. The early announcement of Spider-Man 2's PC version hinted at Sony's potential interest in simultaneous releases across platforms, igniting rumors and further discontent among PlayStation enthusiasts who value the exclusivity of their platform.
Compounding the issue, the regional lock-in through PSN has been a source of irritation for players, complicating the purchasing process and negatively affecting sales. This has added to the growing frustration among the gaming community.
The uncertainty surrounding Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PC continues to grow. The lack of information on pre-orders and system requirements has led many to speculate that Sony might delay the game's release. Some believe the company could push the launch back by a few months to refine the PC port or reconsider its broader strategy for PC releases. As the situation unfolds, fans and industry watchers alike are keenly awaiting further developments.
