The debate surrounding value for money and game length is ever-present in the gaming industry, and the upcoming Spider-Man 2 is no exception. Developer Insomniac has already stated that the game will be about as long as the previous one, with an estimated 17 hours for the main story and 35 hours to do everything.
However, an early report has surfaced that suggests the game can be Platinum-ed in just 28 hours, which has sparked a heated debate online. ChrisGaming95 posted screenshots of the game supposedly already Platinum-ed in 30 hours, and although his original posts have since been deleted, the screenshots have been saved on Reddit.
The game's length falls within the time frame that Insomniac promised, but some gamers are still disappointed. The original game was already too long, and spin-off Miles Morales managed to tell a much more coherent story within its shorter 7-to-8-hour playtime, while also making it harder to tire of its gameplay in that time.
The debate has been further fuelled by comparisons to Xbox exclusive Starfield, which can be beaten in a surprisingly short amount of time while still offering hundreds of additional hours of gameplay. Twitter user SpideyFan4ever commented that they were 'fine' with the game length, while Hishamy99 said they trusted Insomniac to make the game 'feel amazing'.
It's clear that the debate will continue to rage on, but only time will tell if Spider-Man 2 will be worth the price tag. Whether you think it should be longer or cheaper, it's sure to be an exciting game and we're looking forward to seeing the reactions when it finally releases.
