so far so good the movie is still looking amazing. I do hope that they try to setup Venom again however, i hope they doing screw it up like they did in the last set of films. especially being that last time they prevented carnage from ever happening. and he was my favorite spiderman character.

To be honest, I don't really care about any of those upcoming Villians. I just want to know when Venom gets here. XD 

 

The first Spiderman comic I ever owned and read was the introduction of Electro, so I am really looking forward to this one if done right. Venom of course is awesome, but they already went there in recent times.

Well, the viral site The Daily Bugle journalist ?Ned Leeds? is hinting at even more villainy in his latest report:

The NYPD are the city?s greatest heroes, but sometimes even heroes are left scratching their heads. For instance, when $200,000 goes missing from the armored vault at G.K. Mason Bank.

Detective Stan Carter of the NYPD Major Crimes Unit was on scene to comment, stating, ?There?s still a lot we don?t know, but it looks like some kind of sustained vibration literally shook the door off its hinges and ripped the walls apart in the process.? Security cameras inside the bank were damaged upon the immediate forced entry of the robber, denying police a clear view of the perpetrator or the means of rupturing the vault.

When asked if the NYPD had concerns that the nature of the crime might indicate heightened super-human activity, Carter said, ?There?s no evidence to point to that yet. When we catch him, we don?t expect anything more than a common crook with a clever toy.

I don't care about the movie (still haven't seen TAS1, never liked the first trilogy), but I gotta say the new spidey costume looks great.

Then you should definitely watch the first film. It blows away that first trilogy on all aspects if you ask me.

If Goblin is back that doesn't bode well for Gwen, if they stick to the comic books then we all know what happens to her later.

True that! And they already showed the place where it happened as an easter egg in TASM1. There have been plenty of easter eggs in the previous film regarding villains as well.

Looks like Rhino is a machine instead of a mutant, that's a letdown :/ I thought he'd mutate into Rhino in the film. And there's a Goblin as well!

I don't think Rhino is similar to Lizard (Curt Connors). He's a mutate, like Spider-Man and the Hulk. He wasn't born with his powers and he's actually more similar to the Hulk because his strength was augmented because of gamma radiation exposure. In the comics, he wears a suit made of a durable material and makes himself look like a rhino.

Shows how much I actually don't know about Spider-Man. However, I don't like the fact that his suit is a robot suit in this film. I'd much rather have seen an actual Rhino suit like (apparently) the one from the comics.

I always thought Rhino was a man who mutated into the Rhino form by accident. I've never really read anything about his origin though. But I've just read that Alex O'Hirn is the Ultimate Marvel version of Rhino and uses a suit of armor known as R.H.I.N.O. that he stole from the U.S. Military. Perhaps they used that for inspiration.

Rhino was the result of Soviet Bloc experiment that gave him super strength and durability. But in this movie he's being played by Paul Giamatti so... yeah, robot. I would put a guy like Kane Hodder, Ken Kirzinger, or, and this would be absolutely perfect, Nathan Jones playing him. He never was particularly intelligent, only massively strong. Those guys would fit the bill to a T.

We all knew what was going to happen as soon as we saw that Emma Stone was Gwen and not Mary Jane. But they may end up deviating from the comics, as they did in the recent Wolverine movie.

They might, we'll see.

Ah, thanks for the info! Nathan Jones has the proper looks for a Rhino if you ask me

He would be absolutely perfect as classical Spider-man Rhino. Dave Batista would also work, but he's more "stumpy" and way too tanned.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By FateTrap · Posted

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

      I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
