The upcoming PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is generating considerable buzz, albeit negative, due to the absence of any pre-release marketing, preorder options, or publicized system requirements.
Sony's recent strategy of narrowing the release window between PlayStation and PC versions has already faced backlash from console players. However, factors like the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16 might be prompting a reassessment of this approach.
The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC port fueled speculation about a potential simultaneous release on both platforms. This, however, has upset PlayStation loyalists who value the platform's exclusivity.
Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock, hindering sales and frustrating gamers worldwide.
The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch remains unclear. The lack of preorders and system specifications hints at a possible delay. Industry analysts suggest a potential postponement of several months to allow for optimization and a potential overhaul of Sony's PC porting strategy.
