Marvel Rivals could only be the start of a new era of video games based on the beloved characters of the Marvel brand. The developers unveiled a revamped logo during San Diego Comic-Con and it has given the gaming community a breath of fresh air that a new age is dawning for superhero games.
There have been a handful of superhero games made in recent years. Some were forgettable and most are universally praised for bringing the superhero experience in a much more interactive and immersive way compared to the live-action adaptation counterparts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Rivals Is the Maiden Voyage of the Revamped Marvel Gaming Division
NetEase Games has worked on several online multiplayer games and has the experience to deliver a great superhero experience. The developers recently unveiled the first look of Doctor Doom in Marvel Rivals at San Diego Comic-Con which blew the collective…
We’ve never been particularly fond of the Lexus RC, but that won’t stop us from mourning the death of yet another V-8. Lexus has confirmed that the regular RC and the eight-cylinder RC F will end production after this year. That means they won’t be retired immediately, rather 2025 marks the final model year for both cars.
Before it goes, the RC gets one minor visual change, as it adopts red brake calipers (changed from orange). That only applies to rear-drive RC F Sport models, though, as the other trims are unchanged.
Things are slightly more exciting for the proper RC F, which will be sold exclusively in Final Edition form for 2025. The last version of the RC F builds off last year’s Carbon Package model, so it features a carbon-fiber treatment for the front spoiler, rear diffuser, roof, and the active rear wing.
The RC F rides on a set of 19-inch BBS wheels, and there’s even a special engine-cover badge for its 5.0-liter V-8. As with the lesser RC, the F gets red brake calipers. The interior gets a new look too, with the leather and Ultrasuede finished in a special red and black job.
The last RC F we tested was the 2021 Fuji Speedway Edition, which we guided to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds flat. While certainly not slow, the $100,000 Lexus continues to fall by the wayside of competitors in the same price class. Still, we’ll lament the loss of yet another naturally aspirated V-8 on our roads.
For the final model year, the 2025 Lexus RC300, with its turbo four and rear-wheel drive, starts at $46,445. The all-wheel-drive version has a naturally aspirated V-6 and is priced at $49,135. Meanwhile, the RC350 has a more powerful version of the same V-6; it starts at $49,375 and $51,540 for rear- or all-wheel drive, respectively. The RC F Final Edition starts at $94,000 and features a 472-hp 5.0-liter V-8.
