Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Insomniac Games has expanded on its accessibility features for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 by adding PlayStation Access controller support.

In a recent PlayStation Blog post, Insomniac Games revealed which features will be returning to the Spider-Man sequel, while also providing the details on the game's post-launch accessibility plans, including how players will be able to utilize the Access controller to fit their playstyle.

The PlayStation Access controller is set to launch on December 6, making Spider-Man 2 the first official PS5 game to officially announce compatibility. Audio descriptions, a screen reader, and captions - for environmental sounds, music, etc. - will also be added in a free update arriving in December.

In terms of what's confirmed for launch, Spider-Man 2 will have Challenge Levels and Challenge Level Modifiers, allowing players to customize enemy health, damage, and stealth awareness to make their experience their own.

Swinging around New York City while chasing after bad guys looks incredibly fun, but Insomniac has added a Chase Assist option which aims to reduce your target's speed. It will also increase time windows before escaping, automatically attach webs when a target is in range, and readjust the camera to the target when you press R3. 

This feature was introduced in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered after some players had difficulty completing the story in the original 2018 release.

Other returning accessibility options include Quick Time Event (QTE) Autocomplete, Audio Frequency Controls, and Shortcuts, which allow players to map a variety of options to the Left or Right D-pad, and Game Speeds. 

Game Speeds was a feature first introduced to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you'll be able to slow down the action during combat to 70%, 50%, or 30% of the full speed, and seamlessly switch back at any time. 

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set to launch on October 20 exclusively for PS5 and will feature interchangeable playable characters Peter Parker and Miles Morales in an expanded New York setting. 

However, unlike previous entries in the series, the game will be skipping last-gen consoles, including PS4 and PS4 Pro, and it's unclear at this time if the game will be heading to PC like the first Spider-Man.

For more, here's our list of the best PS5 games you can play in 2023, as well as every upcoming game releasing this year if you're having trouble keeping track.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

The Apple Watch ban is lifted, on appeal – but the reprieve might only be temporary

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The Apple Watch ban story has developed quickly over the last week and a bit, and there's now a new twist: the US Court of Appeals is putting a pause on the US sales and import ban while it reviews the case, which means the Apple Watch 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 can go back on sale for the time being. "We are thrilled to return the full Apple Watch lineup to customers in time for the new year," an Apple spokesperson told TechRadar. "We are pleased the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has stayed the exclusion order while it considers our request to stay the order pending our full appeal." The watches in question are now once again available from "select" Apple Stores, and will also be going on sale from the Apple website from 12pm PT / 3pm ET on Thursday, December 28 (that's 8pm in the UK, and early on December 29 in Australia). All Apple Stores should have stock by the weekend. As for how long t...

The Samsung Galaxy Ring could go into production as soon as next month

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support With the dust beginning to settle from the huge Samsung Unpacked 2023 event, we can turn our attention towards what Samsung might have planned next: and a smart ring seems to be in the company's near future. As per a report from South Korean outlet The Elec (via SamMobile ), mass production on a Samsung Galaxy Ring could begin as early as August, with a decision imminent on the schedule for getting the wearable manufactured and out to consumers. A full launch is slated for some point during 2024 though, rather than 2023. The nature of the device means that it'll need to clear several regulatory hurdles before it can go on sale and start tracking various vital statistics. An early 2024 launch would put the Galaxy Ring on a similar schedule to the Samsung Galaxy S24 – and it would therefore make sense to launch both gadgets at the same time, perhaps in January or February if Samsung follows its 2023 routine. The story so far Rumors ar...
