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.

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...

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search. You can literally snap a photo of a weird-looking kitchen tool and ask, “What is this, and how do I use it?” and get a helpful answer, complete with shopping links and YouTube demos.

Passing the torch to a new era of open source technology

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The practice of developing publicly accessible technologies and preventing monopolies of privately-owned, closed-source infrastructure was a pivotal technological movement in the 1990s and 2000s. The open source software movement was viewed at the time as a form of ‘digital civil duty’, democratizing access to technology. However, while the movement's ethos underpins much of today’s technological landscape, its evolution has proven to be a challenge for its pioneers. Hurdles Facing Young Developers Open source models successfully paved a path for the development of a multitude of technologies, cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing, collaboration , and community along the way. Unfortunately, monetizing such projects has always been a challenge, and ensuring contributors are compensated for their contributions working on them, even more so. On the other hand, closed-source projects offer greater control, security, and competitive advant...
