Hey, everyone! I’m Michele Zorrilla, the Advanced Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games. With the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just around the corner, our team at Insomniac is excited to share one of the ways we can all #BeGreaterTogether – through accessibility! So today, I’d like to highlight some of the notable accessibility features swinging into the game at launch on October 20, then I’ll pass it over to Sam Schaffel, Insomniac Games’s Accessibility Design Researcher, who will provide an update on more features arriving in a post-launch update. Carrying forward our learnings from our recent games, we’re implementing useful accessibility features from both earlier titles in the Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise as well as Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. As with any new title, we also had to figure out new features to support the expanded gameplay systems of our favorite web-slingers. Challenge Level Modifiers and Gameplay Assists High-action and exciting combat is a signature of our Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise, whether you’re going up against Kraven and his Hunters or pursuing the Lizard through Marvel’s New York. We included a variety of challenge levels in our earlier games in the franchise (Friendly, Amazing, etc.), and today, we are excited to introduce Challenge Level Modifiers, which let you customize three aspects of gameplay: Enemy Health, Enemy Damage, and Stealth Awareness. With these settings, you can mix and match for your preferences or needs. We’re also bringing back some key gameplay features to help with combat and traversal, which aim to reduce button inputs or provide more time to react to many in-game scenarios. Chase Assist is a feature we introduced in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered in response to players having difficulty completing the story in the original 2018 release. The feature will work similarly in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, reducing the target’s top speed, increasing time windows before escaping, automatically attaching when a target is in range, and readjusting the camera to the target when you press R3. We’re happy to report these features will return and work with both our swinging and all-new Web Wings traversal systems! Quick Time Event (QTE) Autocomplete, changing Repeated Button Presses from Taps to Holds, and Web-Shooter Burst are all returning to reduce motor fatigue and keep you in the action. Shortcuts and Game Speed Speaking of keeping you in the action, we couldn’t have a new Insomniac game without including two things our team and the community love: Shortcuts and Game Speed! Our Shortcuts will allow players to assign a variety of options to the Left or Right D-pad buttons. If you’re having difficulty pressing multiple buttons at once, want a quick way to toggle your High Contrast gameplay options on or off, or even want to open Photo Mode with the press of a single button, you can assign these to left or right directional-buttons for quick use during gameplay. Introduced in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and now featured in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, players can assign Game Speeds of 70%, 50%, and 30% of the real-time rate to Shortcut buttons. These allow you to slow down the action, giving you more time to react to multiple gameplay scenarios: Want more time to react as surrounding Hunter fists fly at your face? Activate Game Speed! Are you battling against the Lizard and need more time between button presses? Game Speed can help! Waiting for that picture-perfect moment to capture Spider-Man doing an acrobatic swing? You guessed it… Game Speed’s got your back! Audio Frequency Controls Additional options in our heroes’ gallery of accessibility features at launch are our Audio Frequency Controls. These will allow players to disable uncomfortable sounds with our High Frequency Cutoff (like high-pitched ringing), Low Frequency Cutoff (like the bass of an explosion), or a custom setting with the Notch Frequency Filter so they can better enjoy Pete’s classic quips as he thwips back a detonating grenade. These are just a few of the features the team is passionate and excited about for the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. To see the full list of the accessibility features that will be included at launch, we welcome you to visit Insomniac’s Knowledge Base: insom.games/MSM2-Accessibility Now I’m turning this over to Sam Schaffel to share some of the awesome accessibility features coming post launch! Post Launch Accessibility Thanks Michele! So, there are quite a bit of accessibility features at launch in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that the team has put together, but we are also working to bring new features after the game launches on October 20. Some of the highlights include: Audio Descriptions that provide visual context and add a narration-style voice-over to cinematics and even QTEs. We feel this feature will be exciting to players who use Audio Descriptions when experiencing movies or television, and we encourage people who have never experienced it before to try it out and see if it’s a feature that works for them! It’s often been compared to a high-quality audiobook. We are working with our amazing partners at Descriptive Video Works (who have worked on various audio descriptions for television and movies for over 20 years, as well as games like The Last of Us Part 1) to bring this experience to all players in English, French, German, Italian, Castilian Spanish, Latin American Spanish, and Japanese. Screen Reader will read out several things to aid players in navigating onscreen items such as tutorials, in-game menus such as the Settings menu, but also our Touch Pad menus like the map, Abilities, Gadgets, Collectibles, Suits, Moves List, and more. We will also have access to on-demand HUD (heads up display) reading via our Screen Reader Status Shortcut. Players can also customize Screen Reader Readouts by specifying how often text repeats on idle via Repeat Delay customization and Scaling. Captions will be available for cinematics and at key audio moments in gameplay. We have captions for offscreen and environmental sound effects, music, and more. The captions are also highly customizable, including size, color, background opacity, and background color separately from subtitles. These features and other surprises will be coming via an update in December 2023 at no additional cost to you! Access Controller for PS5 and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 I’ve had the privilege of consulting on the upcoming Access controller for PlayStation 5 console, which by itself or together with the DualSense controller enables gamers with disabilities to really customize the way they play, offering a variety of options and use cases. I’d like to share my personal configuration and explain how these controllers can be paired together in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2! You can also learn more about the controller and check out my chat with Access controller product lead, Alvin Daniel, and accessibility expert Paul Lane, from earlier this year in the video below. Play Video Paired with both controllers, I use my right hand on the DualSense controller and left hand on the Access controller to access several buttons and the move stick. One of my favorite features is setting up two commands on a single button. I also love having a control profile tied to four Abilities (mixing new and classic like the Chain Lightning, Venom Dash, Venom Smash, and Galvanize), Gadgets (including the Web Grabber), and L3 + R3 to activate Mega Venom Blast, which I map to the big center button. It just feels awesome to execute such a big attack to that input! Thanks to the custom profiles system, I can have a unique control profile for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 that’s dedicated to those simultaneous press buttons, while allowing me to map other features like Game Speed to the Shortcuts on the DualSense controller’s left and right directional buttons. We’re incredibly proud to continue our accessibility efforts at Insomniac Games and finding ways for more people to experience the games we make. As we push towards launch on October 20, 2023, and beyond, we’d love to hear your thoughts about the game when you experience it yourself. As always, our community team is listening to your feedback across our official social media accounts (@insomniacgames). For more information, please stay tuned to our social channels!

Hello again, everyone. In May, we announced that our voxel-based destruction game would be coming to PlayStation 5. Now, I’m excited to share that Teardown will land on consoles on November 15, 2023, and it is our immense privilege to announce that the game will be part of the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog on day one (available with PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium memberships). We are also taking this opportunity to announce a series of new missions, maps, vehicles, and other content coming to Teardown over the next year, along with the game’s first-ever season pass. Below, you’ll find more details on the upcoming campaign expansion, some new game modes, and a sneak peek at a couple of surprises still to come – but first, a quick recap on the game itself. Play Video There are many ways to play Teardown, but when you first jump into the game, we recommend starting with the story campaign, which has 40 levels that challenge your creativity and logic. Each level begins with a main task, such as stealing or destroying certain objects, and a series of bonus challenges. You must then use the tools, weapons, and vehicles to figure out how to get the job done – sometimes racing against a clock. You will have time to plan your approach and set up your path, but you never know what unexpected obstacles you will encounter. Once you’ve gotten the hang of the campaign and explored some of the more structured game modes, you can take on the freeform Sandbox Mode. In Sandbox Mode, you can explore all the maps you’ve unlocked in the campaign without limitations, obliterating them to the ground with every tool in your toolbox. And within Sandbox Mode, you’ll find Creative Mode, which flips the script on Teardown, and offers you the chance to build up. Using all sorts of materials and building tools, you’ll get the opportunity to construct your own buildings, sculptures, foliage, and more – and then, if you wish, destroy that too. Alongside Teardown’s launch on PS5, we will release the Time Campers DLC, a campaign expansion set in the wild west. The new expansion adds to the experience in many different ways, introducing a new storyline that takes you back in time, equips you with old-fashioned weapons and tools, and sets your destructive sights upon a dusty mining town. It’s a departure from the contemporary setting of Teardown’s main campaign, but the heist concept feels right at home in the era of elaborate bank robberies. We had a lot of fun creating new maps and tools out of period-appropriate materials, exploring new types of architecture, and introducing new interactive elements, like the horse and wagon. Beyond Time Campers, we’re also looking forward to other future DLCs. The Teardown experience goes well beyond handheld tools, as you often need the help of vehicles and construction equipment to complete your missions. To make this a rewarding part of the game, we’ve invested a lot of time into the driving experience. Next, spring’s Folkrace DLC will take it a step further, putting you behind the wheel of a fleet of unique vehicles to take on new racing modes and destructive challenges. After Folkrace, we have two more DLCs planned to release in 2024, and we can’t wait to share more about them when the time comes. Creativity is at the heart of Teardown, across the campaign and Sandbox Mode, but that’s not everything. Our existing community has already made some impressive mods, and we’re excited to share that a selection of our favorites will also be playable on consoles. We’ll share more of what those will be as we get closer, but rest assured, you can pet the dog. That’s a lot ahead, but we’re incredibly excited to welcome PlayStation players to the sandbox soon.

Gran Turismo players! The 1.38 update for Gran Turismo 7 arrives Thursday, September 28 at 11:00pm PST / 8:00am CEST / 3:00pm JST*, and brings with it three new cars that are being added this month! Play Video Garage RCR Civic A time attack Civic customized in the classic JDM style. The overwhelming popularity of Japanese performance cars on the international circuit lead to the creation of the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) category. This Honda Civic is one such JDM styled custom car to win the Gran Turismo Award in 2017, an award which is given to the very best custom cars on show at SEMA. In 2006, owner Philip Robles purchased an almost stock condition 1992 model EG Civic and began work on gradually customizing it with his son Jesse. Their aim was to compete in regional Time Attack and Time Trial classes on circuits in the Southwest. There was a 10-year span of continuous track weekends that resulted in several Time Trial and Time Attack championships. In 2017, Philip was asked to display the Civic at the SEMA booth of Mackin Industries, an importer of tuning parts in the USA. This prompted the car to be further customized and refreshed for the show. The most obvious modification to the car is the wide body kit from Japanese aero brand Pandem along with a front splitter and rear wing. Another notable feature is the bold design of the carbon fiber hood which was based on a design by Japanese tuner– J’s Racing. The interior has been stripped bare and reinforced with a roll cage, leaving only a single bucket seat. The original engine has been swapped out for a Honda K24 inline-4 unit. When this car appeared at the 2017 SEMA show the engine was naturally aspirated, but it later underwent an extensive tuning process, adding a turbocharger and greatly increasing the engine power. The transmission is a 5-speed sequential gearbox made by Quaife for K-series engines. Honda Civic Type R ’22 Driving feel comes first. The legendary R badge returns for the 11th gen. Civic. The sixth version of the Civic Type R was introduced 1 year and 3 months after the world premiere of its base model, the 11th generation FL model Civic which was introduced as the Sokai (meaning exhilarating) Civic. The Type R is based on the 5-door hatchback configuration. Compared to previous standard models, the FL has done away with the flashy tuning car stylings. While it retains the essential elements of a sports model, such front and rear aero parts and widened fenders, it has adopted a more simple, refined design. The power unit is the definitive modern Type R engine, a 2L inline-4 turbocharged K20C unit, which after an overhaul of its turbo system and other improvements now produces 9.9 BHP and 2.04 kgfm more than the previous model for a maximum output of 325.4 BHP and 42.83 kgfm torque. The engine ECU map has also been meticulously tuned to improve throttle response and low-end torque. The suspension uses an evolution of the same 4-wheel independent Adaptive Damper System first introduced in the 2015 FK2 model Civic Type R. On the FL5 model, the system controls not only pitch and roll, but also introduces considerations for the vertical acceleration of unsprung components. Through this system, Honda aims to offer the same direct handling. MAZDA3 Gr.4 Exploring the potential of internal combustion, a next-generation bio-diesel powered race car. The MAZDA3 Bio concept is a next-generation bio-diesel fuelled racing car that was created and developed for real world testing in the 2023 Super Taikyu endurance racing series. The car is essentially the successor to Mazda’s Demio/MAZDA2 Bio concept which had been running since 2021 with the aim of achieving a true balance of carbon neutrality and joy in driving. Both cars were entered in the ST-Q class which is almost exclusively reserved for manufacturer development models. What has changed for this model is the car now uses Susteo provided by Euglena, a 100% next-generation bio-diesel made from used cooking oil. The 2.2L SkyActiv-D engine can produce 45.89 kgfm torque and roughly 236.7 BHP~256.4 BHP using this fuel which is molecularly identical to commercially available diesel fuel. The car itself of course has also been modified. To reduce weight, areas such as the engine hood and roof employ hybrid materials which employ a mix of CFRP and natural fibers. Also, to improve aerodynamic performance, the front and rear fenders have been widened and new aero parts like the front spoiler, rear wing and side skirts have been fitted. Two Extra Menus Extra Menu No. 29: Porsche Supercars (Collector Level 42 and above） Extra Menu No. 30: GR (Collector Level 39 and above) Scapes 29 additional Spots have been added to the Nissan section in Brand Central. *Internet connection and Gran Turismo 7 game required for update View the full article

There’s something very wrong in the town of Bright Falls. But there’s something quite right with the PS5 game Alan Wake 2, a sequel that infuses the original game’s rich psychological thrills with exciting new settings and gameplay that will appeal to survival-horror fans. Remedy’s original 2010 game was part run-and-gun action game, part horror thriller, part metafictional commentary on authorship. Remedy games had always experimented with juggling multiple media formats, but with Alan Wake, the studio found an approach that kept players guessing and created a cult phenomenon. Alan Wake’s blending of traditional story techniques like voice-over narration with quirky full-motion video sequences starring professional actors ultimately paved the way for classics like Control. And with Alan Wake 2, Remedy takes this formula to its logical conclusion: a showdown between the forces of reality and fiction. Let’s dive into new gameplay details from sections featuring both playable protagonists – conveniently split up by each protagonist’s journey, from Alan Wake’s fight through a surreal New York to detective Saga Anderson’s trek through Bright Falls and the Pacific Northwest. Verify your age to view this content. Verify your age to view this content. Surviving the horror. For all its horror trappings, the original Alan Wake had a brisk, energetic pace that felt more at home in an action-adventure game. With Alan Wake 2, Remedy is taking a page from survival-horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. Movement speed is slower and more methodical, while the claustrophobic camera is positioned tight over your shoulder to heighten tension. Your otherworldly foes hit hard with melee and ranged attacks, but you can tap the L1 button to dodge and help escape damage. Ammo and health are scarce, so you’ll need to fight carefully in order to preserve resources. The high-stakes combat is a welcome, fitting shift to match the game’s moody and ominous atmosphere. Let there be light. Whether you play as Saga or Alan, your primary foes are The Taken. Returning from the original game, these shadowy humanoid entities make for intimidating enemies, keen to quickly dart in and land a surprise attack. Though initially invulnerable to weapons, The Taken are vulnerable to bursts of intense light. As both Saga and Alan, you can hold R1 to burn away an enemy’s protective shielding with the flashlight. Once it’s removed, you can use pistols, shotguns, and crossbows to banish these specters for good. Watch out, though: flashlight batteries are a scarce commodity, though flares and flashbang bombs are also available. Two to tango. FBI agent Saga Anderson’s adventure takes place in the twisted town of Bright Fall and Pacific Northwest, where a local cult is up to no good. Meanwhile, horror writer Alan Wake is stranded in The Dark Place, a Limbo-like realm that feeds off his dreams and nightmares to keep him trapped in a ghostly New York City. Both characters have the same basic abilities and combat skills, though each brings their own unique approach to progressing the narrative. Saga’s FBI profiling skills can analyze evidence and open up new leads and locations to advance the story. Alan Wake’s writing skills can manipulate the reality of The Dark Place, reshaping the environment and leading him closer to escape. After the introductory sequences, you’ll be able to swap between playing as Alan and Saga at will. Both characters’ fates seem to be tied together — let’s take a closer look at what’s in store for each. Saga Anderson gameplay FBI agent Saga Anderson comes to Bright Falls as part of her investigation into ritualistic murders. This gloomy Pacific Northwestern town was the real star of the original Alan Wake, and as Saga you’ll dig into its grimiest crevices in Alan Wake 2: creepy forest trails, trailer parks, cult hideouts, and a dilapidated local amusement park, and that’s just for starters. Inner light. Holding the touchpad on the DualSense controller instantly teleports you to Saga’s “Mind Place,” a mental sanctuary that holds the key to unraveling obstacles and leads in her murder investigation. This space is represented as a cluttered detective’s room, complete with case files, records, a TV, map, and other resources that provide you with a way to unravel clues and advance the story… and, equally importantly, to dispense more information on Bright Fall’s strange residents and dark history. And if you’ve got the resources, you’ll also be able to upgrade your weapons in the Mind Place. Survival staples. Carrying on the survival-horror vibe, you’ll encounter brightly lit safe rooms scattered throughout the game. Coffee thermoses serve as save points, while shoeboxes in these rooms act as a box to store spare items to save limited inventory space (which can be expanded by discovering upgrades). ‘Round the Pacific Northwest. Saga’s journey will introduce her to a large cast of residents, many of whom wouldn’t seem out of place in a David Lynch movie. But the town’s eccentricities run much deeper. There are loads of extended narrative bits for players to dig into, from local drama around an impending mayoral race to the hilarious video advertisements of local amusement park Coffee World. These juicy bits of lore are classic Remedy, and will deepen your appreciation of this quirky, creepy place. Puzzling places. Bright Falls is festooned with puzzles. Some are integral to the main path, like deciphering symbols in the environment to unlock a door. Other puzzles are standalone rewards, like padlocked chests with notes that cryptically point to environmental clues. One puzzle that stands out involves unlocking a chest with a powerful crossbow, where the solution involves investigating an archery range riddled with bolts. These fun, bite-sized puzzles pack helpful rewards and a refreshing break from the tension. Alan Wake gameplay Horror writer Alan Wake is trapped in a nebulous place between worlds, and his only hope for escape lies in unraveling the mysteries of his own mind. In a mirror, darkly. Compared to Saga’s Pacific Northwest journey, The Dark Place is an illogical and dreamlike place where reality is suspect and danger is everywhere. Depicted as a warped version of New York City, The Dark Place follows its own set of rules. Alan Wake’s only advantage is his unique connection to this realm, which allows him to reshape his circumstances using his storytelling skills. His foes? Unearthly apparitions and a relentlessly pursuing Dark Presence. White space. Where Saga’s “Mind Place” is a cluttered detective’s room, Alan retreats to an internal Writer’s Room for inspiration. When your progress is blocked by occasional narrative dead ends, you can use the Plot Board here to piece together an alternate plot that helps you escape. As Alan Wake collects ideas and invents a new fictional solution for his predicament, these new story elements will literally reshape the environment around you and open up ways to progress. It’s a clever and satisfying mechanic that strongly differentiates Alan’s segments from Saga’s. Shine a light. In addition to a double-barreled shotgun and revolver, Alan Wake wields another powerful tool: the Angel Lamp. This mysterious artifact is essential to navigating the city, and lets you “carry” a light source from one place to another. Moving a light source generally opens up an unseen path, and some of the changes are dramatic and unsettling — imagine walking into a ground-floor entrance and emerging onto a rooftop high above the city. These Angel Light sequences add some puzzle variety and make Alan Wake’s journey feel distinct and unsettling. All in all, our initial hands-on experience with Alan Wake 2 was quite encouraging, and seemed to show Remedy at the top of their game. Now that there’s a true “Remedyverse,” who knows how deep this rabbit hole will go? There’s only one way to find out. Dive into the mystery of Alan and Saga’s unraveling realities when Alan Wake 2 hits PS5 on October 27. View the full article

In Baldur’s Gate 3, your character’s class build can be as unique and personalized as your own playstyle. Since we first launched in August, players have been delving deep into the art of multiclassing, crafting many versatile, powerful, and occasionally kind of weird (but that’s cool you do you) class builds–hybrid characters made by combining two or more classes in the game. Rogue/Ranger–a class build that marries sneak attacks with high damage at long range–is currently the most popular multiclass combination in the game, followed closely by a beefy Barbarian/Fighter combo. But with 12 classes and 46 subclasses to pick and choose between, there are many more variations to discover and explore for yourself. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the most rewarding yet less-traveled multiclassing paths you might take, according to our esteemed designers – to inspire you to find your own ways to express your playstyle in Baldur’s Gate 3. Paladin/Warlock with Pact of the Blade Another way to build a Warlock is to focus on their Pact of the Blade feature to unleash the not-so-hidden potential of the Paladin. Normally Paladins receive only one Extra Attack feature, which doesn’t combine with Extra Attack features from other classes. However, Warlocks that pick Pact of the Blade, eventually also receive the Deepened Pact feature at level 5, which provides them with an extra weapon attack per turn that does combine with Extra Attacks. Put together, you get a character that can attack as frequently as a Fighter, but whose attacks are the impactful Divine Smites of the Paladin, carrying extra radiant damage and able to occasionally produce massive critical hits. Rogue/Monk If you are a hands-on problem solver or just generally dislike when the enemy gets a turn at all, Rogue/Monk multiclass is for you. Monks natively have many smaller attacks each turn, but multiclassing into Thief Rogue lets them pick up an extra Bonus Action that powers more unarmed attacks. In the endgame, you can also put two levels into Fighter for the Action Surge feature, driving the number of attacks up to 12 per turn. And don’t miss the Tavern Brawler Feat for extra damage on any unarmed attacks. Tempest Cleric/Storm Sorcerer Both of these subclasses specialize in stacking lightning damage on top of lightning damage and putting them in one bottle–makes the screen look like a metal album cover. The Destructive Wrath feature of the Tempest Cleric lets you deal the maximum amount of damage instead of an amount based on the random dice roll. Add to that the Heart of the Storm: Lightning feature of the Storm Sorcerer for a power multiplier, allowing you to deal a certain amount of lightning damage to all enemies around you every time when you cast a spell that deals lightning damage. Multiclassing into Cleric also ensures you won’t skimp out on defense if things go south–Cleric provides proficiency with all types of armours. Look out for equipment that grants build up charges and extra lightning damage, such as the Spellsparkler staff. Higher level spells like Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning can hit multiple enemies at once, multiplying all the bonuses and triggers. Druid/Barbarian The Druid’s signature Wild Shape feature allows turning into a beast, and a Barbarian’s Rage complements this perfectly. Rage makes the beast more tanky with damage resistance and saving throw advantages, allowing Druid to stay in the Wild Shape longer. The drawback of Rage is that you cannot cast spells while raging, which wildshaped Druids already cannot do and so they don’t mind. For even more bears on the field, consider further multiclassing into a Ranger and summoning your Bear Ranger’s Companion. Sorlock – A multiclass of Sorcerer and Warlock The basic idea behind combining these two classes is to take a Warlock’s powerful damaging spells and cast them twice with Sorcerer’s Quickened Spell feature. Some additional synergy comes from the Sorcerer being able to convert their Sorcery Points into more Spell Slots when you run out of juice, or alternatively convert their Spell Slots into Sorcery Points for more double casts. To make this build even more powerful in the late game, you’ll need a few extra rare magic items, as well as a further multiclass into the Fighter class to receive their Action Surge–a feature that allows them to act twice in a turn–and into Thief Rogue to receive the Fast Hands feature to get you an extra Bonus Action. On the gear side, look out for the Potent Robe that adds Charisma Modifier to the damage of your cantrips, the Quickspell Gloves that allow casting Eldritch Blast as a Bonus Action, and the legendary Markohenshkir Staff that empowers your spells further and allows casting a spell for free without spending a spell slot once per rest. At higher levels Eldritch Blast creates multiple damaging beams, turning your character into what can be best described as a walking gatling gun. View the full article
