Actor Tom Holland has revealed that his Spider-Man counterparts Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will not appear alongside him in the upcoming Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel. Speaking with Esquire, Holland's statement effectively denies or nullifies recent rumors stating otherwise."No, no, they will not be appearing in this film," Holland said. "Unless they have hidden the most massive piece of information from me, which I think is too big of a secret for them to keep from me. But as of yet, no. It'll be a continuation of the Spider-Man movies that we've been making."For those not up to speed--and the Esquire piece digs into this--Holland's reference to secrets being kept from him on films he's starring in is due to the actor's habit of either inadvertently spoiling the endings or crucial plot points of his own films during interviews or public appearances. See this four-minute clip from 2018 for just one explosive example of this.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Each new season of Destiny 2 has been accompanied by the introduction of a new Exotic weapon, and in the case of the just-launched Season of the Chosen, that's the bow Ticuu's Divination. It's a fantastic new addition to the game, and something you should check out even if previous bows haven't been your thing. But the key to having a good time with Ticuu's Divination and making the most of it requires you to understand how it works and how to best use it.Upon drawing Ticuu's Divination, you'll notice that it highlights multiple enemies near the center of your screen with red diamonds. That's the first component of the weapon's intrinsic trait, Sacred Flame, which launches tracking projectiles at multiple targets when hipfiring. Any marked enemies will then explode when they die or if they're hit by a second Sacred Flame explosion.The Causality Arrows trait adds a further wrinkle to this, causing Sacred Flames to detonate immediately when you fire an arrow while aiming down sights. Landing a precision hit with the bow fully charged increases the power of the blast. So in the early going, it seems as if the best way is to ensure you're mixing in both hipfire shots and ADS shots, marking targets to turn them into walking bombs and then detonating with precision ADS. Against weaker enemies that aren't in groups, marking seems unnecessary as a single precision ADS shot should do the job, but you won't be treated to a colorful explosion if you don't mark them first.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

From February 9-15, Minecraft players will have access to special curated content and free items to help celebrate the Year of the Ox, even though it can't be in-person.Traditionally, Lunar New Year celebrations involve in-person gatherings, whether those celebrations involve trips to flower markets, festive parades, dances, or big feasts with family and friends. As noted in Minecraft's blog post about the event: "All over the world, people come together to clear out the previous year by cleaning their homes, getting rid of clutter, and replacing or repairing broken items."But since that isn't possible for many this year, Minecraft has added special curated Lunar New Year content and free skins so players can throw their own digital festivities if gathering in-person isn't safe. "Since that type of gathering still isn’t possible we hope that you can find other ways to mark the occasion. If you want to welcome the Year of the Ox in Minecraft, you can find free skins in the Marketplace and Character Creator that will help make your celebration a little more festive!"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz, widely considered to be one of the greatest movies of all time, will be getting the remake treatment via New Line Cinema and director Nicole Kassell (Watchmen). This is not the first time a remake or re-imagining of the 1900 children's fantasy novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz has been attempted, and it's likely not to be the last, but Kassell's involvement via HBO's Watchmen of all things is incredibly intriguing.According to Deadline, an extensive search for a director ended with Kassell being hired because she "acted as a meticulous world-builder in overseeing every step of the Watchmen production, setting the show's striking visual tone with no detail overlooked and weaving visual cues from the panels of the comic into the series as delicate Easter eggs for fans." In other words, the exact strengths Kassell brought to realizing DC's classic, New Line Cinema is hoping Kassell will bring to Oz."I am incredibly honored to… [be] bringing this beloved classic to the screen," said Kassell. "While the 1939 musical is part of my DNA, I am exhilarated and humbled by the responsibility of re-imagining such a legendary tale. The opportunity to examine the original themes--the quest for courage, love, wisdom and home--feels more timely and urgent than ever. These are profoundly iconic shoes to fill, and I am eager to dance alongside these heroes of my childhood as we pave a newly minted yellow brick road!"Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There's an unnerving air of mystery to Paradise Lost, a game that sees you explore an abandoned bunker that once housed a group of Nazis before becoming home to the Polish rebels that overthrew them. In this first-person adventure game set in an alternate timeline, Germany won World War II, nuking the Allies and plunging most of western Europe into a nuclear winter.I had the opportunity to sit through a brief demo of Paradise Lost alongside game director Bogdan Graczyk and producer Chris Panas-Galloway. As I watched protagonist Szymon puzzle his way through the bunker, Paradise Lost slowly began to reveal small narrative threads that Graczyk and Panas-Galloway promise will connect in unforeseen ways going forward, all culminating in a story that's about grief--both personal and societal."In this godforsaken world, [Szymon] lived with his mother and his mother dies one day, and that leaves him all alone and with no real good idea on what to do next," Graczyk explains to me. "That's when he finds this photo, and that's when he realizes that the search for answers of where he came from, how he ended up [on his own], and what's the answers behind the mystery of his mother might help him cope with the loss."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
