Spider Man 2 still remains a very sloppy release on PC. Instead of properly fixing it, they just slapped some DLSS “AI” slop on top of it to fool gamers with fake blurry frames and imprecise inputs. DLSS 4 is apparently an upgrade to the previous iteration, and it really does not improve anything aside from reducing ghosting minimally. What kills the experience is the input lag, but optimizing is harder that doing some trickery that fools people who don’t know about tech in general. We at Infinite Start will cover what this new patch brought in terms of changes.
Spider Man 2 hits a wall
The only important fix they have done in patch 10 is removing the terrible PSN Login thing going on. Nobody wants to deal with Sony middleware on their PC, let alone that prompt blocking users who play on a Steam Deck. We can’t stop taking wins on the Linux space, so issues like this are truly a pebble in the shoe that we can’t stand. Back then games used to not have any sort of middleware in them, not a single bit of data had to be misused, or else your game wouldn’t have enough space to do what you wanted it to do.
It was about creators in the past, now it seems to be about greed and corporate share holders that do not care about anything else aside from money and power over others. We can’t stand idly while we see that our hobby is literally getting massacred in front of our own eyes. If we keep things like this existing without taking a stance, then in less than a year we will be cooked. In fact, there’s a lot of things that show that if we don’t fight now, there is no future to be had in the medium. We can make a change, but we need to organize.
