The upcoming PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is generating significant buzz, albeit negative, due to the absence of any pre-release marketing, preorder options, or publicized system requirements.
Sony's recent strategy of accelerating PC ports of PlayStation exclusives, previously met with resistance from console players, appears to be undergoing a reevaluation. Factors like the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16 might be influencing this shift.
The unusually early announcement of the PC version fueled speculation about a potential simultaneous release on both PlayStation and PC. However, this strategy has alienated some PlayStation loyalists who value the platform's exclusivity.
Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, which hinders purchases and frustrates many players.
The current lack of pre-orders and system specifications for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 hints at potential delays. Industry analysts suggest a possible postponement of several months to allow for optimization and a reassessment of Sony's PC porting approach. The future of the PC release remains unclear.
