Source? Or are you just going on speculation, because as far as I've seen they only said they were waiting on "retail partners" and not anyone specifically...I saw speculation people made about nvidia game ready drivers, but thats just speculation, unless you have a source?

I just joined it before you said that, whats the managers username so I can search the server posts?

[☣lolers Mick Jogers☣]

It starts with arson idk the rest of it it’s a Long user name

[Winchester7314]

Searching arson only brings up 1 user with no posts.
However, searchign Nvidia brings up an interaction between two users:
__F4RD1N__XD — Today at 2:13 AM
is there any news regarding Spider-man 2 PC?
Orangebee — Today at 2:15 AM
Waiting on nvidia

I don't see anything in particular indicating orangebee is a community manager though...still digging

[Winchester7314]

Everything I'm seeing wiht "nvidia" in the posts is fans speculating, so minus an actual reference, I'm taking that with a grain of salt....

yo the community manager said its out of there control however its coming out on time.
from this either a graphics card issue or maybe the link to psn or something- so might be nivida or amd who knows its worth a mention tho as nothing about this game yet from them

If there was no pre-order incentive, noone would be wondering, but this makes people feel like they are being shafted for being offered something that they are simultaneously being prevented from taking part in. I say at the week away mark, they should have removed the incentives from the store page, until they could confirm the ability to prepurchase...

your not wrong at all, its strange and i have no clue.
its difficult to pre order a game you cant even buy....

They are probably waiting on nvidia because AMD has released a new driver update in which they have added new game support and that includes Marvel's Spider-Man 2, link

Can you link me to the specific part of anything whatsoever, that says a game cannot be sold without game ready drivers? Not sure where this weird myth is coming from. Like, you can prepurchase Last of Us 2 and there aren't game ready drivers for that game....I'm really wildly perplexed by this random myth and where its coming from.

its a speculation lol

[donahue25911]

we need an official announcement of what the hell is going on with this game. Seems like Insomniac has been silent to the customers ever since spider-man 2 and it leaking out. i honestly think they just confiscated the Brazilian port and fixed what was left.

That's my point, lol.
Theres a swarm of drones parroting these points as fact(not PWRGAMER tbc, he said probably) and never in my 13 plus years of PC gaming has a games purchase ability ever been dictated by drivers....
