Unleashing Your Creativity: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Fans Take Matters Into Their Own Hands with Custom PS5 Faceplates

Highlights

In light of the limited availability of the official faceplates, certain enthusiasts of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 have adopted a proactive approach by crafting their own personalized faceplates for the PS5.

Reddit users, Equivalent_Task5515 and tamanui1202, have been showcasing their homemade faceplates through both images and videos. Many fellow gamers have expressed admiration for their custom plates, noting their uncanny resemblance to the official ones.

Due to the scarcity of official Marvel's Spider-Man 2 accessories, scalpers have taken advantage by selling them at excessively high prices. As a result, more fans are now contemplating the idea of creating their own personalized faceplates as a viable alternative.

In response to scalpers selling the official versions at exorbitant prices, some fans of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 have taken matters into their own hands and started creating their own custom faceplates for the PS5. As the release of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 approaches this October, Sony has been steadily sharing new details about the highly anticipated game. To enhance the promotion of Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Sony decided to launch special DualSense controllers and faceplates specifically designed for the PS5 console. These items were also made available as part of a customized PS5 bundle that includes a digital copy of the game. However, due to limited quantities, the stock of these Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 consoles and accessories quickly sold out, leaving many disappointed fans. Nevertheless, it appears that players have taken matters into their own hands and opted to create their own customized faceplates instead.

Reddit users Equivalent_Task5515 and tamanui1202 created their own custom faceplates for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 after being unable to acquire the official ones. Equivalent_Task5515 shared an image of their faceplate, which closely resembles the official one sold by Sony. On the other hand, tamanui1202 shared a video of their custom faceplate, confirming that they were successful in obtaining the Marvel's Spider-Man 2 DualSense controller but not the faceplate. tamanui1202 mentions using black PS5 faceplates as the base, while Equivalent_Task5515 appears to have used the default white faceplate.

The comments section showcased many impressed users, congratulating both posters on their final products. Some gamers even asked tamanui1202 if they accept custom orders, mentioning that their faceplate looks identical to the original Marvel's Spider-Man 2 design. There were also requests for tamanui1202 to share a tutorial on how to create such accurate custom faceplates.

On Equivalent_Task5515's post, one player suggests that a personal touch is preferable to purchasing an overpriced product, sparking a debate on the value of the plates. Despite this, many gamers express admiration for the plates, with one user even claiming to have crafted their own PS5 faceplates.

Given the scarcity of Marvel's Spider-Man 2 consoles, DualSense controllers, and faceplates, it comes as no surprise that these items were subject to scalping at exorbitant prices. Scalping has been an ongoing issue during the release of current-generation consoles and appears to persist with any limited availability item. It will be interesting to observe whether more PlayStation players opt to create their own customized faceplates if they are unable to acquire the official ones offered by Sony.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 will release on October 20 on PS5.
