And the moment has finally come. The team behind the unofficial PC port of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has released its first version. This version weighs in at 256GB and contains the full game. Yes, you read that right. The full game is now playable on PC via this unofficial port. That’s unheard of.

For those wondering, this PC port is based on the PC dev build of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that leaked a while ago. Modders/Hackers took that build, exported the assets of the game from the PS5 version, added a few more tweaks, and then re-compiled it.

From what I know, this version has most of the game’s textures and shaders. Still, there might be some graphical/visual glitches. So no, don’t expect a 100% accurate PC port. Still, the fact that you can play the entire game is quite an achievement. At least for an unofficial PC port of a game that has not even been announced yet for the PC.

256 gigabytes?????? damn, activision just got one-upped by PC devs.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

What gives...did they just add uncompressed textures all over the place? Oodle got dat compression secret sauce I guess.

 

[Deft Beck]

Even if I am curious, that's a super hefty download. Hard pass.

 

[midnightAI]

Promoting piracy now huh?

 

[BlackTron]

Holy shit. Was their starting point for this the PS5 download/iso? This boggles my mind

 

[ReBurn]

I guess he didn't have a magic SSD

No links here

 

[Mister Wolf]

I just want to see that opening scene on a HDD.

Technical discussions on the topic are fine

Anyone posting links to pirated content will face penalties, like always

Actually, I'm more curios about the Blackcat sequence on an HDD.

Piracy= loading latest Nintendo game in emulator

This=ninja software assassins used magic and voodoo to make a PC port.

Not like there's a link to a 3mb rom here man. It's news of a 256GB port. I personally am not interested enough in the game to deal with that, or to buy it (we are talking bargain bin or epic game store level tier) but I'm nonetheless more shocked and impressed at the port existing than the game itself.

.... From stolen code and assets. Regardless, seems like the mods are allowing it so my views are irrelevant.

Gonna get DMCA'd to shit.

Regular gameplay is often more impressive and forget about getting anywhere near this draw distance fidelity with <12gb, possibly <16gb GPU.

 

[jshackles]

Hopefully this news at least spurs them on to actually announce that a PC version is coming.

I skipped this on the PS5 because I figured I could wait for the eventual PC version.

 

[Puscifer]

100 dollars some dude with an anime avatar caused this

 

[OverHeat]

I want to try it but I’m sure there is malware in it….

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

sounds like they took all the uncompressed audio and textures and just didn't do anything to them, that shit will inflate your filesize quickly.
Also you'd obviously be installing some kind of bitcoin miner as well.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

PC port in 3 months!

I wonder if these shady downloads have viruses attached to them.

Sony will likely counter and release an official port much faster than the usual 2 years. Probably come in the summer.

 

[Silver Wattle]

Sony need to get a move on with the official port.

When you see what this looks like you'll realise they will be in no rush.

 

[SJRB]

Kinda ridiculous, honestly.

 

[RickSanchez]

This version weighs in at 256GB

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Amazing.
I bet they'll find code and optimizations from this in the official release.

we got a wait before that happens. middle of next year at the earliest.

 

[Shits_McGiggles]

Let's be honest, 256 GB is probably not that far off from what an official PC version release would be.

 

[RickSanchez]

Right. Forbidden West PC port is coming a little more than 2 years after the PS5 release. We should expect something similar for God of War Ragnarok (late 2024 or early 2025) and Spider-Man 2 (Late 2025 or early 2026).

This mod-magic PC port is great as an achievement and a testament to what independent modders are capable of, but i it will likely still be full of glitches and i doubt it will trouble Sony.

 

[hyperbertha]

What does links have to do with it, you are promoting the release of compiled stolen game code and assets. You have linked to the creators posts talking about it's release which asks people to join their private discord to get the torrent.

*Reports on murder*
You are promoting murder oh my gawd

 

[hyperbertha]

Gonna get DMCA'd to shit.

And? It's already in the wild. They can do shit.

 

[StueyDuck]

This is silly. The game is going to come to PC, rather wait for actual developers to make it than some hacked together version by script kids.

This leak is insane, seems like every week a few more things have pop up from it since it happened.

Do you think all pirated stuff installs miners/malware? If so yer a clown. I'm betting this is 100 percent harmless.

 

[Luck]

Any videos from this new port? Last time I checked it was full of devbug tools and no textures. How it looks right now?

 

[existensmaximum]

Cool, let's hope these assholes who released this end up in jail.

Insomniac really fucked up...

 

[Zathalus]

Just goes to show how much work goes into compressing game sizes for release.

That venom asset looks wrong

 

[DarkStream]

Footage I found on YouTube. Might be relevant to this.

My good fellow, for all we know, the modders who worked on the leaked PC port and took it to some state of completion could be a completely different set of people from the hackers who actually hacked and leaked the Insomniac data including the incomplete PC build.

If you're calling for people to be imprisoned from the comfort of your couch and keyboard, atleast make sure you are talking about the right set of people. The hackers who attacked Insomniac and leaked personal info of Insomniac employees do indeed deserve harsh justice.

However, the modders who worked on this without the right set of tools and Insomniac's knowledge and experience have still managed something noteworthy.

Oh, I'm talking about both the hackers and the modders who released this stolen goods publicly, obviously.
