A recent costume addition in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 has sparked community backlash, but PC players now have a fan-made alternative courtesy of an unexpected crossover. Following a divisive update that added the Brand New Day suit to the game for free, players quickly criticized the official version for incorrect colour grading, a lack of detailed textures, and missing battle damage.
Quick Facts
- Game: Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- Platforms: PC, PlayStation 5
- New Development: Nexus Mods users passk8 and MattBTW released a "Fortnite Brand New Day Port" mod.
- Alternative: The mod brings Fortnite's Spidey-themed event suit design over to the PC version of Insomniac's title.
Why Players Are Using the Mod
Insomniac's official implementation of the Brand New Day suit met immediate criticism from the community upon release. Players pointed out issues with the colour grading and textures, as well as the complete absence of battle damage.
Meanwhile, Fortnite celebrated its own Spidey-themed event featuring a distinct take on the same costume. That version features more vibrant red and blue colour grading and sharper textures, prompting modders to port the asset over. The resulting "Fortnite Brand New Day Port" gives Peter Parker a noticeably more jacked character model while resolving the visual complaints leveled at the official update.
Platform Limitations
While PC players can utilize Nexus Mods to swap out the disputed cosmetic asset—or opt for alternative community fixes like the separate texture overhaul mod—PlayStation 5 players remain limited to Insomniac's official design unless the developer issues a patch addressing the ongoing feedback.
