The upcoming PC release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is generating considerable buzz, albeit negative, due to the absence of any marketing campaign, pre-order options, or publicized system requirements.

Sony's recent strategy of reducing the time lag between PlayStation and PC releases, previously met with resistance from console players, may be undergoing a reassessment. Factors like the underperformance of Final Fantasy 16 might be influencing this shift.

The earlier-than-usual announcement of the PC version fueled speculation about Sony potentially releasing titles simultaneously across both platforms. However, this approach has alienated PlayStation loyalists who value the exclusivity of their platform.

Further complicating matters is the PSN regional lock-in, hindering sales and frustrating players with a cumbersome purchase process.

The future of Marvel's Spider-Man 2's PC launch remains unclear. The lack of pre-orders and system specifications hints at a potential delay. Industry watchers suggest a possible postponement of several months to allow for optimization or a strategic overhaul of their PC porting approach.
