Marvel's Spider-Man 2 brings back Tom Holland's iconic red and blue suit; fans can't keep calm
Insomniac Games has unveiled a new fan-favourite costume in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for PlayStation 5, the "Red and Blue Suit," a design that closely mirrors Tom Holland 's final Spider-Man look from 'Spider-Man: No Way Home'. The suit, which first appeared in the closing moments of 'No Way Home', was crafted by Peter Parker after parting ways with Stark technology. It was also said to be a visual nod to the suits worn by previous Spider-Men, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield while introducing a fresh, polished finish unique to Holland's version .According to reports, the players can unlock the new suit upon reaching level 58. Unlike other in-game outfits, this one remains in its pure, cinematic form with no alternate styles, thus staying true to the MCU design. Beyond the game, Holland's Spider-Man is set to return to the big screen in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. In a major casting reveal, 'The Punisher' star Jon Bernthal will join the Marvel Cinematic Universe film, reprising his role as Frank Castle. His involvement in the film hints at a darker, more grounded tone for Spider-Man's next chapter. The film will see Holland reprise his role as Peter Parker, alongside returning cast members Zendaya (MJ) and Jacob Batalon (Ned). 'Stranger Things' breakout star Sadie Sink has also joined the ensemble, though her character remains under wraps. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah?

Sony To Remove Two Classic PS3 Exclusives From PlayStation Plus
Resistance: Fall of Man Insomniac Games On May 20, 2025, Sony is removing nearly two dozen games from its PlayStation Plus library, including multiple platform exclusives. Most notably, two of the titles getting the cut are the classic PS3 exclusive shooters, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 from Insomniac Games. Infamous: Second Son is also impacted from Sucker Punch Productions, but you'll still be able to purchase that game to play on PS4 and PS5 just fine. Both Resistance games getting removed is particularly interesting because not only are they exclusives from a first-party studio, but they were just recently added to the service back in November of last year. While you cannot play either title natively on a PS4 or PS5, you could play them as streaming via the PlayStation Plus service. Until now. Additionally, once they are removed, there will not be any way to play either of these games on modern hardware. Your only option will be getting physical copies to play on an actual PS3 console. Making matters even more interesting, Resistance 3 (also a PS3 title) and the PSP exclusive spin-off, Resistance: Retribution, will both remain on the service for the time being. Resistance: Burning Skies, the PS Vita exclusive spin-off, remains only available on PS Vita. This news comes on the heels of rumblings that prices for many PlayStation products could be increasing in price due to tariffs and not long after PlayStation Network was down for 24-hours just a few months ago. If you haven't played the first two Resistance games, I highly recommend checking them out either on original PS3 hardware or quickly over the next few days before they're removed from PlayStation Plus. Fingers crossed we get a remastered collection soon and that's the underlying reason why they're being removed for now.

Insomniac Boss Says Resistance 4 Was The One That Got Away
The Resistance games were never among Sony's most popular franchises but they still have a special place in some players' hearts, especially those who remained ride-or-die through the tough early days of the PlayStation 3. And while 2011's Resistance 3 capped off the alternate sci-fi history about a WWII-style fight against alien invaders in the 1950s in a mostly satisfying fashion, die-hard fans have always pined for a sequel. Insomniac Games founder Ted Price recently said the studio wanted to make one too, but Sony wasn't onboard. 'We did pitch that one and it was a wonderful concept, and it just, in terms of timing and market opportunity, didn't work out,' the outgoing studio head said when talking about the unmade Resistance 4 in a new interview with Kinda Funny Games. The comments were made in the context of a conversation about how many games get cancelled or never even greenlit that people don't hear about. '[The pitch] was the result of a lot of Insomniac team members being passionate about extending the story further, because I do believe that Resistance has set up a really cool alternate history base where anything can happen with the Chimera and where they go and what their origins are,' Price said. While the Resistance games generally sold well, Price's mention of 'market opportunity' could be a reference to The Last of Us,which came out a few years after Resistance 3 in 2013. Sacred Symbols host Colin Moriarty previously reported that Sony was worried about overloading its portfolio with post-apocalyptic games, and declined to greenlight Resistance 4 because 'it sounded too similar to The Last of Us and they didn't want the two games overlapping with each other.' But that doesn't mean Resistance can't come back again in the future. While Price, who directed the first two Resistance games, is leaving the studio, Sony now owns the IP and, assuming Insomniac remains busy with its endless slate of upcoming Marvel spin-offs, could potentially farm it out to another studio, either internally or outside of PlayStation. Price seems hopeful that, one way or another, the series might still come back someday. 'Resistance 3 was intended to end that chapter of the Resistance franchise with the way that we ended with [recurring protagonist Joseph] Capelli and closed a lot of loops on various story items, and we wanted to do that so we would have more options in the future whether we were to go ahead with more Resistance games or take another turn,' Price said this week. 'When you work on a franchise for a long time, it's nice to have a chance to move on to something else and at the same time it's also nice to be able to come back to it. Fortunately, because we're part of Sony and Sony owns the intellectual property to Resistance, we will always have that opportunity to revisit Resistance and if it works out again, as a fan I'm going to be pretty excited.' At this point, many fans would probably settle for a simple remaster of the existing trilogy for modern platforms. Since the games released on PS3, the only way to play them on PS5 remains through cloud streaming as part of the PlayStation Plus Premium subscription tier. .
