The game mode also features the possibility to go in-depth in the strategy’s details, using development points and allocating R&D staff to reach the top along with working on the Bike Development through enhancing aspects such as Engine, Frame, Aerodynamics and Electronics. The path could start from the bottom, creating a Junior Team in Moto2™ or Moto3™ categories, selecting a sponsor and hiring a Team Manager, Technical Director and at least one rider.

To celebrate Earth Day today (22 April), Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Senior Director, Environment, Social, and Governance, Kieren Mayers, has shared a blog post reflecting on the progress made by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) in addressing the company’s footprint on the planet.

As part of Sony Group’s Road to Zero plan, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) has made ambitious commitments to reducing the environmental impact of its products and business activities as well as finding ways to use PlayStation content to inspire social change. 

Some of the key initiatives in the past twelve months include:

1. Sustainability engagement is popular with our PlayStation community. For the recent Horizon Forbidden West launch, to raise awareness about climate change and protect biodiversity, the game narrative was connected to real-world action. Through this and other consumer engagement activities, SIE has invested in planting more than a half million trees with selected partners and organisations.
2. We’re investing in high-quality carbon offset projects. To celebrate Earth Day with our PlayStation community worldwide, we are happy to announce that SIE has offset carbon emissions equivalent to 100 million hours of average console electricity use during gameplay*. Through the Gold Standard Organisation, SIE is supporting a combination of initiatives aiding biodiversity and sustainable living within developing
   countries and investment in new renewable energy capacity.
3. Using the power of video games to raise awareness and inspire change. SIE will participate again in this year’s Playing for the Planet Green Game Jam. PlayStation Studios’ Media Molecule is hosting an interactive Green Game Jam for their community to create games on the theme of ‘Sustainable Farming’ in Dreams. For each of the first 1,300 games created and uploaded during the Game Jam, SIE will plant up to 100 trees for a maximum total of 130,000 trees in partnership with The Arbor Day Foundation.
4. Supporting data centres to transition to renewable electricity. SIE worked with the data centres that house our game streaming servers to ensure their facilities meet the latest efficiency benchmarks, while encouraging them to transition to renewable electricity consumption wherever possible. Using 2020 as a base year, 78% of the electricity used for streaming PlayStation games came from renewable sources.
5. SIE continued to address the Work-From-Home impact of our employees. SIE has also addressed an estimated share of the electricity use for our employees while working from home by purchasing carbon offsets to cover the impact throughout FY2021. The main SIE offices in the US and Europe continue to use 100% renewable electricity, and offices in Japan are transitioning to fully renewable electricity by the end of this fiscal year.
6. Reducing our impact by addressing material usage in PlayStation game boxes. In FY2021, we started integrating recycled plastic in PlayStation game boxes into our supply globally. In total, 10% of the plastic used for producing our game boxes over the year was sourced from post-industrial waste.
7. Driving change as a united gaming industry. SIE is a proud founding member of the United Nations Playing for the Planet (P4P) Alliance that launched in 2019 and SIE will continue to work toward contributing to UNEP goals.

Unleash your most artful tactics to secure the victory in 1v7 and 1v1 strategic battles

April 22, 2022 — World of Tanks is more than just sheer steel and firepower; it’s about tactics and strategy, and the latest event takes this up a gear! Players can master the Art of Strategy from today until early May.

The event consists of two formats which feature Tier X vehicles exclusively: 1v1 and 1v7. The 1v1 RTS-style format will see two Strategists engaged in a battle of wits for supremacy on the battlefield using the squads of 7 vehicles at their command. The 1v7 format pits 7 Tankers against a single Strategist and their 7 vehicles that await orders. The 1v1 mode is available from today, allowing players to familiarize themselves with it and its nuances before taking on the 1v7 one, which arrives on April 25^th. And no matter which side a player land on, Strategist or Tanker, the path to victory is the same: destroy all enemy vehicles or capture the base.

The two roles are different from each other: Those playing the Strategist role will command a squad of seven AI-controlled Tier X vehicles, that operate independently, as the Strategist   sets stances and issues appropriate commands throughout the battle. They will also be able to set routes for their vehicles as they watch over the battlefield in a “bird’s-eye” view.  Unlike the Tankers, the Strategist has auxiliary defences in fixed positions that act as independent combat units. At any time during battle, the Strategist can also take control of any one of the 7 vehicles in their squad and command them individually.

Both sides will only have a minute pre-battle to decide their tactics and set themselves up for victory. This 60-second period will play a massive part in the outcome of the battle. The Strategist can use this time to deploy their vehicles and set up their defences, while the Tankers will assign roles that fit their vehicles and contemplate which avenues should be their key routes. Players who take part in the Art of Strategy event will have access to two daily missions for both roles (four in total). By completing daily missions, they’ll get closer to customization element rewards that include styles, inscriptions, decals, badges and 5 unique fully trained crew members, all of which come with Brothers in Arms as a zero perk and enough crew XP to immediately learn another perk or skill of the player’s choice, as well as medals for winning battles.

Immersive Language Learning Game Influent Schools Android Devices Today

LOS ANGELES – Apr. 21, 2022 – Influent, the immersive language learning game from Three Flip Studios that has taught new languages to more than 500,000 students on Steam, declares class in session on Android via the Google Play Store today.

Learn a new language by virtually encountering everyday words and objects commonly found in real-world settings, improving both vocabulary and listening skills in more than 20 languages. A complement to other language learning tools on the market, Influent also teaches situational context of nouns, verbs, and adjectives in a gamified format to make language learning fun and engaging.

Discover the world of Andrew Cross, the young inventor of a revolutionary language-translating device known as the SanjigenJiten, capable of scanning objects and translating their names into any language. But when the greedy CEO of a massive tech company steals the invention, Andrew sets up a fundraising livestream. He pledges to livestream himself mastering over 400 words in a language learning marathon to raise the money needed to take them to court.

Explore Andrew’s apartment to learn the words for hundreds of everyday objects, such as the pillows on his bed, games on the shelf, and food in the refrigerator. Play through comprehensive challenges that help hone both visual and auditory memorization, like piloting a remote-controlled spaceship in Space Vole and blasting lasers at the correct objects for given words.

Customize vocabulary lists to focus more time learning troublesome words, track progress, and monitor setbacks by measuring proficiency to make sure words go from tongue-tied to eloquent. Discord integration helps language learners share their progress, get help, and even help others.

“I’m super excited to bring the fun of language learning to a new audience and get Influent into the hands of players on Android devices,” said Rob Howland, Co-Founder of Three Flip Studios and creator of Influent. “Whether you’re on a commute, have ten minutes to kill, or are just winding down for the night, helping people learn new languages in an engaging new way has always been the goal of Influent and this new mobile edition makes it much more accessible.”

Influent launches today on Android via the Google Play Store as a free download with French, Italian, and Korean packs available at no cost plus 20 additional language packs available for $3.99 each.
