Tom Holland Announces Spider-Man: Far From Home Filming Wrap With Look at New Suit
Filming on Spider-Man: Far From Home has wrapped, and to celebrate this, Tom Holland has shared an image of Spidey’s new suit in the film.
Holland shared the photo of himself and Zendaya on Instagram, and it’s a far cry from the Iron Spider suit he wore in Infinity War, and is much closer to what he wore in Homecoming. He posted another shot of Spider-Man in an action-heavy scene a few hours prior, but this more recent photo gives us a clearer look at the suit.
The Stanley Parable’s ‘Don’t Play for 5 Years’ Achievement Can Finally Be Unlocked Today
The Stanley Parable's "Go Outside" achievement, which tasked players to not play the game for five years, can finally be earned through legitimate means today.
"I have the news you've all been waiting for," The Stanley Parable writer and designer Davey Wredent tweeted this morning. "Today is the first day that it is possible to legitimately get the Go Outside achievement in The Stanley Parable."
How The Conners’ Premiere Ratings Compare to the Roseanne Revival’s Ratings
The Conners — ABC's rework of the sitcom Roseanne, this time without Roseanne Barr — premiered last night to strong ratings that ultimately failed to match Roseanne's average ratings last season.
The sitcom pulled in a solid 10.46 million viewers last night and a 2.3 rating in adults 18-49, the demographic coveted by advertisers, according to THR. The premiere was in line with the finale of the Roseanne revival that aired last spring, which pulled in 10.58 million viewers and a 2.5 in the demo.
However, The Conners lagged considerably behind the massive ratings for the launch of the Roseanne revival last March. The two-part premiere episode for season 10 managed 18.16 million viewers and a 5.1 in the demo.
2006’s Prey Was Portal Before Portal
The 1998 E3 trailer for 3D Realms’ Prey was quick to tout its use of ‘portal technology,’ but it ultimately never panned out for the developers, who ended up releasing a considerably different version of the game in 2006. 3D Realms co-founder Scott Miller sat down on this month’s IGN Unfiltered to share behind-the-scenes details on the development of Prey, as well as the cancellation of Prey 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2: Physical Edition Could Come on 2 Discs
What seems to be Japanese packaging for Red Dead Redemption 2 has appeared online and, if genuine, it shows that the PS4 physical edition is spread across 2 discs.
On the game's back cover, a symbol indicating the double-disc format is shown:

Double-disc games are more familiar from older generations of console, when games could far outstrip the storage capacity of optical discs.
Red Dead Redemption 2 Launch Trailer Coming Tomorrow
The latest trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive tomorrow, October 18, at 7am Pacific / 10am Eastern / 3pm UK (or 1am AEST on October 19).
Rockstar also announced that pre-ordering the digital version will allow players to pre-load the game from Friday. That'll come in handy, because the game is looking to be pretty big.
It's not clear exactly what will be in the trailer, but we'd wager it will be story-focused, following the more mechanical gameplay videos released recently.
Sean Bean Will Die Once More in Hitman 2
Actor Sean Bean will voice the character Mark Faba in Hitman 2's first Elusive Target mission, Kill the Undying. That means Bean is portraying yet another character who is doomed to die, as has been the actor's professional lot in life.
"It's a talent of sorts, I suppose," says Bean as Mark Faba in a tongue-in-cheek live-action video poking fun at Bean characters' penchant for dying. "I never expected to be like this, but they keep trying to kill me, you know?
"I've cheated death countless times. I'm like a stage magician. I know all the tricks. They think they're clever, but they've got nothing on me. I even managed to make them think I'd been blown up."
Hitman's Elusive Target mode was introduced in the last game, and gives players only one chance to assassinate an individual in the the limited-time mode – so it may be that Bean escapes at least a few times after all.
