James Tedesco and Daly Cherry-Evans go head-to-head, battling it out in Gran Turismo 7 on the PS5 before taking to the track in a Lamborghini Huracán STO

PlayStation Australia pits NRL superstars and State captains, James Tedesco (NSW) and Daly Cherry-Evans (QLD), against one another virtually in Gran Turismo 7 and on the track to see which state can set the pace ahead of the big game this weekend. 

Leaning into the authenticity of car culture from Gran Turismo 7 and the competitive spirit of Aussies, PlayStation Australia gave the two sporting stars the chance to go head-to-head in a time-trial race, first playing Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5, before jumping onto the track to set their best time in a Lamborghini Huracán STO. 

See which player came out on top and who has to up their game ahead of Sunday’s match – Check out the video here to see which player was first to cross the finish line…

Speaking after the race, NSW captain James Tedesco said “To be able to take the experience from racing in GT7 onto the track was awesome. The realism of the vibrations from the DualSense controller felt exactly the same as when I hit the track. You would literally feel every bump right from the couch.”

While Daly Cherry-Evans said, “I couldn’t believe the level of detail in the game – from the cars to the track, it was pretty special. I have also never been behind the wheel of a Lamborghini before – so to smash out some laps in that was great fun. Epic choice of colour too!”

Gran Turismo 7 is the latest addition to the famed franchise’s 25-year history and brings together the very best features of the real driving simulator whilst celebrating the deep passion felt around the world for automobiles. To find out more about Gran Turismo 7, head to the PlayStation Blog.

Dead Cells “Breaking Barriers” Free Update Makes Game More Accessible to Everyone Starting Today on PC & Consoles

Evil Empire and Motion Twin worked alongside Ablegamers to create a huge new set of accessibility options and an Assist Mode, allowing for tailored, specific adjustments to Dead Cells

Bordeaux, France (June 23, 2022) – Evil Empire and Motion Twin today announced that the latest update to the multi-million-selling Dead Cells is now live across PC, Switch, Xbox and PlayStation. “Breaking Barriers” introduces a variety of optional accessibility settings for players, making its signature “tough but fair” gameplay available to a wider audience for the first time.

The developers worked closely with the Ablegamers organization and various legends from the Dead Cells community over the past months to design and test these new settings for people with disabilities, as well as the game’s new Assist Mode.

“The intent of this update is to allow players who struggle to, or cannot play, Dead Cells to be able to experience the game as we intended. We had feedback during beta testing that some people who don’t ‘need’ Assist Mode will use it regardless and the result is that they won’t play Dead Cells as a challenging roguelike,” said an Evil Empire spokesperson. “We’ve put multiple messages regarding this in-game, but in the end it’s up to the player how they want to enjoy the game. However, we will not disable achievements for players who use these options. We are not going to make it possible for people to play the game and then take achievements away from them.”

The new options in this update include mobility input adjustments such as hold to second jump/roll, customisable controls and more, along with visual options like UI size and transparency, font size/type, customisable background color filters, no-blood mode plus many more. Everything is collected in a specific accessibility menu to gather all these options in one place. There’s no point making an accessibility menu inaccessible…

Assist Mode exists in its own menu and contains:

●      Multiple lives – Each time you die you can resurrect from the beginning of the biome, in the same state that you started in. You can choose between 1, 3, 7 or infinite lives. This is targeted for players who have involuntary movements or activity, such as muscle spasms, to have another chance if their run is ruined by something that is out of their control.

●      Auto-hit – Automatically target nearby enemies with your primary melee weapon. This will automatically attack with your primary weapon, allowing players to just manage their secondary weapon and skills, reducing the need for rapid inputs.

●      Adjustable trap damage, enemy damage and enemy health in % increments, plus toggable options for slower parry window and trap speed. This is meant to allow specific, dare we say delicate, adjustment of the game’s challenge while leaving the rest of the game as it is.

●      An option to instantly reveal the whole map for players who struggle with spatial awareness.

In addition, the “Breaking Barriers” update comes with eight new weapon reworks, and a reduction in early-game item cost to allow players to unlock new weapons more quickly alongside the crucial life & gold upgrades.

Regarding future free content updates, a spokesperson for both studios said, “If you’re a Dead Cells player who doesn’t need any of the content that we’re introducing in this update, don’t worry. We have plenty of shiny new things to introduce to Dead Cells this year.”

The entire list of updates and the optional accessibility settings, which we encourage everyone to read, can be found at https://dead-cells.com/patchnotes.
