Summary

  • Mod restores Peter Parker’s original face in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, pleasing fans.
  • PC modders quickly create new content for the recently released game.
  • Modding was popular in the original game, too.

In the recently launched PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, creators have introduced a modification that brings back Peter Parker’s appearance as it was when the game first debuted in 2018. Despite the game being newly available, the modding community has been quick to generate fresh content for this title.

When Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered was launched for PlayStation 5 in 2020, Insomniac stirred up debate by altering Peter Parker’s appearance from John Bubniak to Ben Jordan. Over the years, the studio has continued with this change, even though it caused a significant split within the community. Nevertheless, PC gamers have seized control by employing mods.

Recently, a new modification for “Marvel’s Spider-Man 2” has been unveiled on Nexus Mods by user CarlosRPG5555, named “John Bubniak’s Face Instead of Ben Jordan’s Face.” The objective is straightforward: to reinstate John Bubniak’s face as Peter Parker in the latest game, matching his appearance from the 2018 release. As of now, there are some visual glitches reported by the modder, one amusing example being Peter Parker struggling to close his eyes. However, given it’s early days, these issues might be resolved over time.

In the original PC version of Marvel’s Spider-Man, customizing the game was a significant aspect. Although the base game offered numerous suits to uncover, the ingenuity of mod creators gave players an abundance of choices that surpassed what Insomniac Games initially planned. For instance, one Marvel’s Spider-Man mod incorporated a suit from Invincible, demonstrating how many of these mods integrated characters from other universes. As we’re just beginning the new game in the series, it’s promising to see that modders are already diving deep to uphold this strong tradition.

As an ardent fan, I must admit that while modders might be painting a brighter picture about Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, its PC launch has been met with mixed reviews on Steam. Frankly, I was taken aback by the frequent crashes and performance issues that have marred my experience so far. Given Nixxes’ past success in delivering top-notch PC ports for PlayStation titles, it’s a bit unexpected. However, I remain hopeful that with some future updates, they can regain their footing and deliver the seamless gaming experience we’ve come to expect from them.
