Independence Day 2 has a release date
I was just a little kid when the first movie came out so this news kinda throws me back in time a little. After 20 years from its release, the Independence Day movie is finally getting a sequel. And there is a release date this time around, set to June 24, 2016 in the United States. Thor’s brother is going to replace Will Smith in the new movie. With almost all the original cast returning to fight in a second invasion, it seems only Will Smith doesn’t care about the fate of humanity anymore, as he decided not to be a part of this. The leading role was offered to Liam Hemsworth, the younger brother of Chris Hemsworth.
Liam Hemsworth is better known for his role in The Hunger Games where we portraits Gale Hawthorne, the best friend of Katniss Everdeen, the main character of the movies/books. While I don’t remember his performance to be spectacular in the Hunger Games series, I could see him grow to be a good actor. However I think a movie about an alien invasion is not really the best opportunity for someone to prove his acting skills.
The filming for the movie has already started yet no plot synopsis was announced. We’ll have to wait and see what’s going to happen this time. The visual effects evolved so much in the last 20 years so I expect this to look amazing. Maybe even find out more about the nasty aliens who want to destroy Earth so bad. It was the realism of the effects that made the previous Independence Day movie to be the box office winner for 1996 with a total grossing of $306,169,268. With that much money on the table, it’s a wonder that it took them so much time to make a second part. There are expected to be at least 2 new Independence Day movies, this one in the summer of 2016 and a third one set to 2017.
Sonic Frontier’s third and final free DLC update, The Final Horizon, is frustrating some players with its difficulty. Some say it’s Sonic’s hardest gameplay ever.
Many players complained about this unexpected difficulty spike in a 12-page GameFaqs forum post called “This DLC is way too hard” (thanks VGC). One of the main complaints about Sonic Frontiers was that it was too easy, and Team Sonic overcorrected, which makes it surprising.
Final Horizon, the last free update, let players play as Tails, Knuckles, and Amy and complete a variety of optional challenges, which is the challenge. Many are breaking down after a vertigo-inducing tower that requires pixel-perfect platforming without checkpoints, apparently inspired by viral Twitch hit Only Up!
Have you tried Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon DLC? Is it really that hard, or has Sonic always been the Dark Souls of mascot platformers?
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s cinematic trailer appeared suddenly as the wait seemed endless. It shows us that together, we can overcome anything.
The scene is surprisingly sad, with flashbacks to each Spider-Man’s tragic past. As property damages mount, Peter and Miles have emotional internal monologues while fighting Venom.
Venom appears to be about to lose when he realizes they can be stronger together before the scene fades to black. We won’t know how this story ends until Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 launches exclusively on PS5 on October 20.
Do you think teamwork makes the dream work? Should you see more of Insomniac’s latest or are you sold?
A new trailer featuring Aleks Le’s fearless protagonist S.E.E.S makes Persona 3 Reload more real. Atlus promises weekly character tributes, so get excited. Our stoic protagonist, who will be playable on PS5 and PS4 when this remade RPG releases on February 2, is introduced well.
We’ve accepted playing without our favorite character and are starting to like Reload. The setting, story, and cast have always been great, and the more we learn about the proposed changes, the more we want to return to Tartarus.
With Persona 3 Reload, where are you? Did you play the game before or is this your first time?
