What’s your preference, old-school physics-based web swinging or Insomniac’s cinematic style?? Older Spider-Man games (like Spider-Man 2 & Web of Shadows) had more satisfying player expression through realistic momentum & physics, but could look and feel janky. Insomniac’s games look better but feel restrictive, and sometimes jarring, in comparison... show more

When I was showcasing the Tokon Skin In Marvel's Spider-Man 2 I started yapping about swinging in Spider-Man Games. What would the "perfect" Web Swinging in one of these games even look like? People would say SM2 on the PS2, but even then that's shown its age a little.

Nothing really comes close to Web of Shadows. No Spider-Man game has done swinging and air combat better than this game does, no I don't care about extreme realism, sometimes I just wanna feel powerful and just kick-ass in the air

I love how smooth Miles tricks to swing transitions feels compared to Peter’s. After doing mid-air tricks, Miles flows right back into swinging seamlessly, while Peter’s transitions feels stiffer. I wish insomniac focus more on Peter swinging and add more features. I want them to add these in next games - Wall Run while descending - Climbing web mid-swing like in the Raimi Movies - Make low to the ground swinging feel more impactful and immersive There’s still lot that can be improved gameplay wise. But I know Insomniac will cook with Spider-Man 3.

Ubisoft please consider removing the camera cut during double assassinations in Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and future AC games. It's a significant downgrade compared to what we had in Assassin's Creed Unity, the original Assassin's Creed Black Flag and even other Assassin's Creed titles. The camera cut breaks the flow of gameplay and makes double assassinations feel awkward instead of smooth and seamless. We understand that the new Anvil engine is far more complex than the one used in previous games. But there are already mods for AC Shadows that remove the camera cut during double assassinations, and the animations look much smoother as a result. So, if you work on this, I'm sure you'll find a way to remove it as well. We hope future Assassin's Creed games will remove this camera cut and restore the seamless double assassination experience that made the older games feel so satisfying.

Color grading in Blender is how you build your visual style. Most artists skip it — and every render ends up looking like a render. Technically fine. Visually forgettable. Grading directly in Blender means no external tools, no roundtripping. Cinematic result straight out of the renderer. But more than that — this is where your signature look comes from. The contrast, the temperature, the way shadows feel. That's not the scene. That's you. Ignore it and you're always one step away from having a style of your own. Power Grade Color Grading in Blender add-on:

I've been thinking about games that feel truly ageless - ones that are essentially as enjoyable and satisfying today as they were when they first released. You can go back to classics like Pong, Space Invaders, or Pac-Man, but it’s hard to deny that you can see (and feel) their age now. They’re still fun, but time hasn’t passed them by unnoticed. I would argue that Tetris is the most ageless game ever made. It never relied on flashy graphics or impressive sound; its strength lies in one of the simplest and most brilliant concepts in gaming history. I'm confident it will still be played in 100 years - and that it will have exactly the same addictive appeal then as it does now. Can you think of any other games that fit this pretty rare category?

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE may have disappointed at the box office, but it makes perfect sense for Prime Video. Amazon’s audience is packed with Gen X and older Millennials who grew up with He-Man, comic books, video games, and 1980s genre storytelling. Look at what already works there. THE BOYS. INVINCIBLE. FALLOUT. These are older-skewing genre franchises with loyal fan bases, deep mythology, and plenty of merchandise attached. That is the same audience Amazon wants for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE. The theatrical release may have been less about turning a huge profit in theaters and more about making the movie feel like an event before it lands on Prime, where Amazon can monetize it through ads, subscriptions, toys, and retail. And maybe that is where these Gen X and Millennial-coded properties belong now. Not dead. Not irrelevant. Just better suited for streaming, where the audience already lives. Are 1980s nostalgia franchises becoming too old for theaters but perfect for streaming?

Nothing makes you feel older than realizing Tobey Maguire’s girlfriend was born after he fought Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2. We always talk about "age is just a number," but numbers represent life stages. There is a massive difference between being 20 and being 50. One is still figuring out their path, and the other has three decades of life lessons, career moves, and a 19-year-old daughter. Is it really just "two consenting adults," or do we have a right to find the "daughter is older than the girlfriend" dynamic a bit jarring? If the law didn't exist, where would the floor actually be for some of these guys? I’m genuinely curious—is this a red flag, or are we just projecting? Let's settle the "gap" debate.

Spiderwoman in your town Seedance 2.0 on FlovaAI prompt 45-Second Cinematic AI Video Prompt** 45 seconds, photorealistic, cinematic superhero film, ultra-detailed, 8K HDR, realistic physics, dynamic camera movement, fast-paced editing, dramatic lighting, natural facial expressions, high-end VFX, Japanese female lead, no text, no watermark. **Main Character:** A beautiful young **Japanese woman** in her early 20s with fair skin, soft natural makeup, expressive dark brown eyes, and shoulder-length black hair tied into a low ponytail. She wears an **oversized light blue knit sweater**, loose gray pants, and white sneakers throughout the story. Maintain identical facial identity, hairstyle, body proportions, and outfit consistency across every scene. ### Scene 1 (0–6s) – The Spider Bite Inside a cozy modern apartment during the afternoon. Extreme macro close-up as a glowing crystal-like translucent spider slowly crawls onto the back of the Japanese woman's neck. The spider sparkles with iridescent blue light before gently biting her. A glowing blue spider-shaped mark appears beneath her skin, sending shimmering energy across her neck. She gasps softly and turns in surprise. Cinematic macro lens, shallow depth of field, dramatic lighting. ### Scene 2 (6–12s) – Powers Awakening She walks through her apartment wearing her oversized **light blue sweater** and gray pants. Suddenly books, mugs, and small household objects begin floating around her. Confused, she raises her hands, and a metallic glowing spider web suddenly shoots from her wrist, sticking to a distant wall. Her eyes widen in shock before she smiles with excitement. Fast push-in camera, floating debris, cinematic energy effects. ### Scene 3 (12–21s) – First Leap She steps onto the balcony of a towering skyscraper overlooking a massive modern metropolis under bright daylight. Without hesitation she leaps into open air. The camera rotates as she freefalls upside down between towering glass skyscrapers. Just before reaching another building, she fires brilliant silver-blue web lines from both wrists and swings powerfully through the city. Dynamic drone shots, rapid FPV movement, realistic wind simulation, superhero movie energy. ### Scene 4 (21–31s) – Web Acrobatics An adrenaline-filled montage of spectacular web-swinging through narrow urban streets, soaring between skyscrapers, performing flips above busy intersections, landing gracefully on rooftops, vaulting across glass towers, and gliding over a luxurious rooftop infinity pool overlooking the skyline. The camera alternates between cinematic tracking shots, aerial drone views, slow-motion hero moments, and fast FPV chase sequences. Bright daylight, highly realistic reflections, cinematic action. ### Scene 5 (31–36s) – Sunset Break Golden-hour sunset. A peaceful wide cinematic shot shows her sitting comfortably on a high steel construction beam far above the city. She casually eats a sandwich while admiring the glowing skyline. Gentle breeze moves her ponytail and oversized **light blue sweater**. Warm orange sunlight creates a calm contrast to the previous action scenes. Emotional cinematic composition. ### Scene 6 (36–41s) – Neon Night Nighttime in a vibrant neon-lit alley filled with colorful reflections after light rain. She hangs upside down from a single web line, smiling warmly. A curious black cat sits calmly on a nearby windowsill staring back at her. Blue and pink neon lights reflect across her face and sweater while the city glows behind her. Slow cinematic camera orbit with soft depth of field. ### Scene 7 (41–45s) – Home Again She swings effortlessly back toward her apartment building, lands smoothly on her balcony, performs a stylish flip into the living room, and collapses onto the sofa laughing happily. She pulls out her phone, starts chatting excitedly, and smiles as the camera slowly pulls away through the apartment window while the city lights sparkle outside. End with a cinematic superhero-style closing shot. **Visual Style:** Hollywood superhero movie aesthetic, photorealistic, cinematic color grading, realistic cloth simulation, physically accurate web physics, dynamic lighting, volumetric sunlight, realistic facial animation, expressive emotions, smooth character consistency, high-speed action choreography, premium VFX, ultra-detailed environments, crisp reflections, motion blur, dramatic camera transitions, IMAX-quality visuals, 8K HDR.

My nephew was browsing through the shelves in my gaming room and asked where I keep the "older games that I played when I was his age" (he's 14 now). I showed him the section from the early 80s. Obviously, he didn't recognize a single game (making me feel quite old, haha), but for some reason Lode Runner caught his attention. I said that it's not a "pretty" game in terms of graphics or sound, but that it was one of my favorites back then. We loaded it up, I showed him for about 2 minutes what to do, and we ended up playing it for almost 3 hours. It made me happy for many reasons, but most of all grateful to see that these old games - despite their shortcomings in graphics and sound - can still fascinate even younger generations. Lode Runner by Brøderbund (1983), a truly timeless gem.

🧱 #Live3D #Live2D #HandTracking 🧱 I spent some time refining the way I use Warp Deformers to create lateral physics-based swinging motion in Live2D. With a new production concept, I tried to achieve the highest possible level of mathematical precision. At the core are two fundamental swinging structures, which I can mix in different proportions to create different qualities of motion. The first is parallel swinging. Both sides of the Warp Deformer remain perfectly parallel throughout the motion, making it look somewhat like a sheet of paper or a tassel. The second is bending swinging. The angle between the two sides of the Warp Deformer changes as it moves, making it look more like a flexible tube or a tail. （0:12）Interestingly, when I layer the first and second structures together, the bottom forms an X-shaped pattern as it swings. It looks a little like a spine or some kind of mechanical structure. （0:23）The third structure is an equal blend of the first and second. Its characteristics are much more neutral, combining the qualities of both. （0:35）The fourth and fifth structures are created by smoothly blending the first structure into the center of the second, and the second into the center of the first, respectively. This makes them appear softer and more flexible, somewhat like a piece of fabric. （0:28）Interestingly, when I blend the fourth and fifth structures equally, the result is exactly identical to the third structure. This also demonstrates that, despite their apparent complexity, the two are actually perfect mirror images of each other. Every physics-based motion shown here uses a two-segment pendulum structure, with a swinging range of ±90°. In theory, when curled to its limit, it can bend upward into a perfect semicircle. To most people, this may look as boring as a brick. But to me, this is exactly where the romance of Live2D physics lies. Does anyone else feel the same way?

Why the character movement in my custom game engine felt janky and how I fixed it. In a game engine, most often, a character moves using the physics engine. Meaning, the player is not just a coordinate in space but a physical body. It has velocity, it handles collisions, and it interacts with the world. Now, as you might know, physics engines need stability. If you run them at variable framerates, things start breaking. Objects phase through walls or fly off into space because the math becomes unpredictable. This is why most game engines lock their physics loop to a 60Hz fixed rate. But here’s the problem: If you have a high-end system, you don't want to limit it at 60 FPS. That's a waste of good hardware. Now, that said, if the GPU is rendering at 144 FPS but the player's position (physics driven) only updates 60 times a second, it creates a micro-stutter that ruins the "smooth" feel of the game. A good way to fix this is to treat the character as two separate things: 1. The Physics Body (Invisible part): This is the "real" character. It lives in the 60Hz physics world, it moves the player and handles collisions. 2. The Visual Model and Camera (Visible part): This is what the player actually sees. It doesn't care about collisions, its only job is to look nice and smooth at whatever framerate the GPU is pushing. Once you have this separation, you can use interpolation to keep them in sync. Every time the physics clock ticks, you save the previous position of the invisible body before moving it to the new one. Between those ticks, calculate how far we are between the last physics update and the next one. By using this to drive the visible parts of the game, the stutters disappear. The physics loop stays fixed behind the scenes, while the visuals slide smoothly between the snapshots. Example: - Right after a tick: blend_weight= 0.0 (The visual model stays at the old physics position). - Halfway to the next: blend_weight= 0.5 (The visual model slides to the middle point). - Just before the next: blend_weight= 0.9 (The visual model is almost at the new physics position). Pro-Tip A critical mistake I made initially, and one many devs make, is parenting the camera and visible parts directly to the player body. If you do this, the camera inherits the discrete 60Hz physics movement by default. In that setup, interpolation won't work because the camera is "stuck" to the physics clock. For this fix to work you must decouple the camera and visuals from the body and move them separately. Player movement processing in Detis Engine: - fixed_process: Physics runs at 60Hz. Handles collisions and raw movement. - process: Variable rate. Mainly used for player input caching in the player case. - late_process: Variable rate. Handles interpolated camera movement after physics and everything else is done being processed. - render. Submits the final interpolated transforms to the GPU. The test environment in the video is running on an old 2070-based laptop. Hopefully the video compression won't introduce any stutter... I’m sharing this in hopes it helps a fellow dev. Cheers.

Did FPS games peak in the 90s? I guess the newer ones have better graphics, but do they really "feel" better in terms of gameplay and fun? Unreal Tournament (Epic Games, 1999) was one of the best of its kind. A favorite for our LAN sessions back in the day. Carrying a 21" mintor over to your friend's house felt a little less heavy when you knew you'd be playing Unreal later that day... Exellent and colorful graphics (even on PCs that weren't high end, like those you needed for Quake III Arena for example), great sound, and your typical capture the flag or deathmatches - I mean, what more did you need? Plenty of "Game of the Year" nominations (with some wins), the highest critcal acclaim, and massive sales numbers. I think we can all agree that Unreal Tournament belongs in the Hall of Fame of FPS games. Or maybe I am just getting old and gloryfing things from the past too much.

Did FPS games peak in the 90s? I guess the newer ones have better graphics, but do they really "feel" better in terms of gameplay and fun? Unreal Tournament (Epic Games, 1999) was one of the best of its kind. A favorite for our LAN sessions back in the day. Carrying a 21" mintor over to your friend's house felt a little less heavy when you knew you'd be playing Unreal later that day...

In response to me saying Ghost of Yotei has the most "majestic and beautiful" horse riding in gaming, some said Red Dead Redemption 2 tops it. Realism alone doesn't equate to the above. RDR2's a stunning game, but its horse riding can be rather sterile in comparison to Yotei. It doesn't have near the same artistry, colour, vibrancy, mass flocks of animals, lush foliage, wide angle and cinematic in gameplay camera, aggressive weather/wind dynamics, as many effects, particles, the DualSense feedback and so on. There's a reason I listed Zelda and Shadow of the Colossus in my top examples. Again, it's about so much more than just realistic graphics, animations, or horse balls lol. It's a culmination of all these other components that come together to make something feel so much more majestic and beautiful, and it's why Yotei clears RDR2 in said areas. Quick and dirty video comparison of random open field horse riding gameplay in both games, to highlight the point. #GhostofYotei #PS5 #PS5Pro #RedDeadRedemption2

Seen the fragile snowflakes complain people aren't posting combat gameplay from Ghost of Yotei, but not only is my timeline filled with it, I've been posting plenty myself too. Here's another. This segment did a great job of making me feel part of a larger battle, while being atmospheric and just pure fun. May look easy, but keep in mind you get killed in 2-3 hits so can die in seconds. Unlike Assassin's Creed Shadows where even on Expert it feels like you could beat certain engagements with your eyes closed, Yotei on the hardest difficulties actually demands precision and keeps you on your toes, which I LOVE. It's notably harder than Tsushima, and the enemy movesets, attack speed and AI more aggressive. On Hard/Lethal combat difficulty or deadliness wise, it can at times end up feeling more like a Soulsborne or Sekiro than it does many action adventure games. Even normal enemies will occasionally kill you in an instant if you slip up. #PS5Pro gameplay video. #GhostofYotei #GhostOfYōtei #PS5

The 2026 box office race has become a lot more interesting than I expected. Spider-Man has already past $1.05B worldwide after only six days in theaters. That's the second-fastest any movie has reached the billion-dollar mark. Only Endgame got there sooner. A $360M domestic opening is a massive head start, and people are already talking about a run past $2B. Then there's The Odyssey. It's closing in on $1B worldwide after opening two weeks earlier and has held up far better than most people expected. For an R-rated film that's almost three hours long, those numbers are impressive. 1win has turned this race into a prediction market. You can pick the movie you think will finish 2026 as the highest-grossing film of the year. How to join ➫ Open the link below, or head to 1win → Markets → Highest-Grossing Movie of 2026 ➫ Sign in or create an account ➫ Fund your account if needed ➫ Make your pick I'm going with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It already has a big lead, and I think that lead only grows from here. The Odyssey has had an incredible run, but Spider-Man looks like it's on track for an even bigger finish. I'm backing Spider-Man: Brand New Day. ➥

🐰 it’s been 8 years since i debuted and i might’ve had this kind of hair before but in my memory, this is the first time i’m slicking my hair back so much…i did my hair like this yesterday and it was really unfamiliar to me so i was like “would it look nice?” but it looks nice, i think it suits me 🐰 “how do you feel trying this hairstyle? do you think slicked back hair is better or hair with bangs down is better?” both are good 🐰 in the past, during our early debut days…since i had a bit of cheek fat, i liked my bangs down better because if you have fat on your face, your face looks rounder when you push your hair back so i wanted to have my hair down and look a little sharper but as i’m older now and my baby fat has disappeared, pushed back hair looks good on me too so i like both 🐰 rather than liking one better, i think it’s good to do what fits the place the best…when you think of dolce & gabbana, i don’t know what it’s like for you guys but when i think of dolce & gabbana, i kinda think of the sexiness of a man so i felt like slicked back hair would suit it better, i like this hair too

In addition to better graphics, current-gen only game design affords gameplay benefits and flexibility folk might not even realise. Insomniac devs were on record about how Spider-Man 2 was able to have faster travel velocity by not being limited to PS4's slow HDD and asset streaming. PS4's mechanical drive simply couldn't keep up with the data demands of faster traversal at the fidelity desired, hence the original Spider-Man had to move/swing slower. Unlike PC's, consoles don't have ultra fast system ram to fall back on either. When you play Spider-Man 2, the added mobility speed, flight, hovering, much faster swinging etc, is not just breathtaking, but it all makes a tangible difference to traversal and its overall fun factor. Gameplay video showcasing how. Another example of the design benefits current-gen only game design can afford, is Horizon Forbidden West Burning Shores. Guerilla Games spoke on how they ditched being cross-gen for the DLC, in order to allow for the high above the clouds dynamic flight and draw distance that came with it, as well as the absolutely massive and technically marvelous final boss fight. It's these sorts of things that have me wanting publishers to drop cross-gen game design as soon as absolutely possible in any given gen (though I appreciate it may not always be financially sensible). It's also why I wish more tentpole cross-gen games and exclusives this gen, had been current-gen only. #SpiderMan2 #PS5 #PS5Pro
