Benefit of the PC, being able to play old games and bump up settings.

Unfortunately all the settings in the world wont fix its flaws.

"At least a year". Was probably already planned.

Gotta make up for that $300 million lost somehow.

I'm referring to the story, writing and blandness of the game itself. Not Insomniacs finest hour.

 

[Trilobit]

If you can mod out all the MJ and other sidecharacter gameplay from it I might reconsider my console-only stance.

 

[Edder1]

Oh look, it's another sanitized western game with uninteresting characters and boring story. Next time someone tries to preach politics to me in a real annoying way I'll just watch Fox News or CNN instead of this tripe, at least that way I don't have to engage with the bull*hit while I watch it.

Edit: At least on PC they can edit Auntie MJ and remove those annoying zoomer haircuts, too bad they wont be able to fix the the rest of the game.

 

[kazuyamishima]

The game will be close to 20m. units sold on PS5 when this arrives on PC.

I don't think Sony is that Dumb as people trying to paint it here.

 

[Gambit2483]

[YCoCg]

White Miles Morales.

Nah fuck that, just swap his head to the one he had in Miles Morales so he doesn't have that dumb haircut, and swap out the Sweet Baby Mary Jane with the model from the first game, done, already a huge improvement and that's just two easy mods.

Can't wait for the mod that replaces Spider-Man with everyone's favorite character: Deaf Girl

Good. The DLC in the first game was bad, and also an sign of feminist crap to come. Silver Sable beating Spider-Man in hand-to-hand combat is an absolute joke to anyone with even the slightest bit of comic book knowledge.

 

[Vick]

I'm referring to the story, writing and blandness of the game itself. Not Insomniacs finest hour.

At the very least that moron of a Narrative Director left the studio:

'Marvel's Wolverine' Associate Narrative Director Mary Kenney Says "Every Lever" Must Be Pulled To Push Disordered LGBTQ+ Agenda

Associate Narrative Director at Insomniac Games, who is working on the upcoming Marvel's Wolverine game, Mary Kenney, declared that "every lever" must be pulled in order to push a disordered LGBTQ+ agenda.

thatparkplace.com

Associate narrative lead at Insomniac:

Kenney added, "There are so many LGBTQ developers, and we want what players want – to design experiences that tell the player we're here, we're important, and we belong."

In order to obtain this, she declared, "We need to pull every lever we have. Characters, community support, mechanics, to make it so."

Still haven't bought the game because of its overwhelming propaganda. And probably never will.

This person is now going to, unfortunately, plague CD Projekt Red next games..

If you can mod out all the MJ and other sidecharacter gameplay from it I might reconsider my console-only stance.

Based on what I've seen and heard of the game Mods alone would improve this game drastically. Not 100% unfortunately, but drastically still.

Hell, censored versions of the game released in certain markets already provided an experience more in line with the previous game, and what gaming should actually be about. Which is absolutely insane when you think about it.

Do it. But just in case, from the other Thread:

[DF] John Played PS5 Pro in Japan... And Here's What He Thinks

www.neogaf.com

- Alex Battaglia agrees PS5 Pro would provide the best place to play games with PC ports suffering from stuttering issues, "But it is expensive".

Goes on to say, about those PC ports: It would be great if there was more audience anger.

And in response to John saying: "We don't need more anger today, Alex", he adds: Consumers could make it really well known that is not acceptable to release PC games the way that they are released.

 

[Draugoth]

Such a weird timing to announce this.

I bought one but didnt like it, the game feels bloated

 

[ZehDon]

The game will be close to 20m. units sold on PS5 when this arrives on PC.

I don't think Sony is that Dumb as people trying to paint it here.

Not likely. It was at 10 million in Feb and 11 million in April. Assuming it continues at 500,000 copies a month - which it hasn't - then it'd be sitting at around 15m. Those are still really solid numbers, but from Sony's perspective you have to consider the first game, its expansion, and its PC remaster moved over 33 million, and Spider-man 2 cost around twice as much. I'm betting Sony wants to get this one on more platforms sooner rather than later.

 

[shamoomoo]

It's not like some of these games don't already have a PC version.

 

[Edder1]

She looks like she's ready to go to Albion and join that Fable chick(?) for a quest.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Announcing this a few weeks before the pro seems a bit silly to me.

 

[Gaiff]

Nah fuck that, just swap his head to the one he had in Miles Morales so he doesn't have that dumb haircut, and swap out the Sweet Baby Mary Jane with the model from the first game, done, already a huge improvement and that's just two easy mods.

Yep. He had that perfect fade they replaced with that stupid Killmonger haircut every black male character in video games has.

 

[mckmas8808]

1 year.

1 year and 4 months.

 

[Denton]

Cool but I'd like to see TLOU2, Demon Souls and Driveclub more.

 

[JaksGhost]

They moved more over a larger period of time and with discounting while this pushed 15 million with a $70 price tag in under a year. They've probably accelerated development on Wolverine which is why this is being pushed out sooner. They confirmed that no DLC is coming.

 

[Vick]

Announcing this a few weeks before the pro seems a bit silly to me.

Just wait until you see those RT shadows, RT AO exclusive to PC version, and better RT reflections than Pro.

Wait until you see smoking hot MJ compared to Robert Z'Dar with a red wig on his head.

Yep. He had that perfect fade they replaced with that stupid Killmonger haircut every black male character in video games has.

Still nothing compared to what they did to Peter.
One of the reasons I haven't cared for Miles Morales and feel zero motivation to play SM2.

It also did that over a period of a few years. This game came out Sept 2023.

 

[ReBurn]

So Sony will now port games to pc after 1 year? They really want more people to play pay on pc

FTFY

 

[mckmas8808]

Yep. He had that perfect fade they replaced with that stupid Killmonger haircut every black male character in video games has.

And yet that haircut is something that actual black males like in real life. It's not a stupid haircut in general.

 

[poppabk]

No VR.

I guess MJ is about to get a makeover.

Angela was fixed days after release lol

 

[Buggy Loop]

I don't think I would play it even if it was given for free after seeing the woke shit in this game.

 

[owandeseis]

The gap is shortening definitely, tho they are releasing this on a very packed month, maybe it would have been smarter to wait for summer but nice.

Might do decent but still won't be any close to the big Steam sellers, no FOMO and latest big Sony AAA's haven't had the best word of mouth, which doesn't help when you are releasing the game a year after the initial release.

Wonder if Sony will ever try to do a day 1 PC release for one of their big AAA games, one with some multiplayer aspects like the next Bend Studios one, considering Helldivers 2 is their fastest selling and most profitable game (on it's first year at least), Hell-fucking-divers, i wonder what would happen with a giant game with a lot of advertising and FOMO.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

To you and others but those sequels all still sold between 10-15 million minimum without the heavy discounting that occurred during the PS4 era. Concord is a totally different thing that bombed.

i didn't talk about sells. but because you keep talking about them...

Ragnarok
Forbidden west
Miles Morales

all of them performed worse than than their previous entries on PC.

 

[Gaiff]

And yet that haircut is something that actual black males like in real life. It's not a stupid haircut in general.

I'm a black dude with mostly black friends. Never seen anyone with that haircut. I'm sure it's out there, but I was at the barber when they revealed Eddie Gordo in Tekken 8 and we all laughed at the haircut.

Maybe the ones in your neck of the woods do like it. Those around me certainly don't.

 

[StereoVsn]

i didn't talk about sells. but because you keep talking about them...

Ragnarok
Forbidden west
Miles Morales

all of them performed worse than than their previous entries on PC.

And to be fair, all three were worse than the previous entrees.

 

[Fake]

The end is near.

 

[BennyBlanco]

i didn't talk about sells. but because you keep talking about them...

Ragnarok
Forbidden west
Miles Morales

After the initial hype, word of mouth soured on all these games.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

And to be fair, all three were worse than the previous entrees.

that is the point.

sony can't rely on production values when their design is more of the same with worse stories.

 

[simpatico]

If I own Spider-Man on Steam, do I need SM2? I figure I can always go back to SM1 if I need to get my Spidy kicks. Do that add enough to make it worth it?

 

[StereoVsn]

that is the point.

sony can't rely on production values when their design is more of the same with worse stories.

Yep, and I Can't wait for Wolverine!

 

[simpatico]

i didn't talk about sells. but because you keep talking about them...

Ragnarok
Forbidden west
Miles Morales

all of them performed worse than than their previous entries on PC.

Every single one of them was worse than the original and had a bad reputation by the time they made it to PC. If Sony dropped them day 1 I bet sales would be nearly double just because people didn't know better.

 

[ProtoByte]

Fuck you too PlayStation.

 

[MALpractice311]

If only the game wasn't full of crap writing, storytelling and characterization. Gameplay was good.

100%. Loved the gameplay of part 2, but the writing was so cringy and juvenile, compared to Spider Man 1 and even the Miles Morales solo game.

 

[willothedog]

I guess MJ is about to get a makeover.

Didn't mind the older character design.

 

[ZehDon]

It also did that over a period of a few years. This game came out Sept 2023.

Like I said, those are good numbers. But, from Sony's perspective, the first game broke sales records and became Sony's fastest selling game of all time. They wouldn't double the budget to expect half the return. That's not how publicly traded companies do business. I imagine Sony wants Spider-man 2 onto more platforms to push its sales momentum.
