Is that ever done before in game software ? (I guess specific hardware allow you do that already).
That's really great.
Oh that's really nice. I am all to be punished when taking damage but I really don't like that most harder difficulties makes every ennemies HP sponge. That was something I really dislike in GoW, especially at the beginning of the game.
I am crying
Hard + Easy Loot seems like the way to go for me, since I hate the bow and that means I don't have to make precision shots all the time.
The Sony first party games really go all-in with the accessibility. You love to see it！
I'm curious though, why do some you prefer gyro aiming? Is it much more effective with precision? I'm open to make that my default as well

This is absolutely amazing. I wish this could be OS level for all consoles.
It's much more precise &, when implemented correctly, is basically like using your controller as a mouse.
More games should do this. I simply don't have the time to dedicate to many games and this will help me get through them easier. I love this and thanks, Guerrilla.
I'm glad to see they are taking accessibility seriously. One of the things I didn't like about Zero Dawn was that I found climbing annoying because I couldn't find the right path, but now I can just highlight it so I won't get stuck anymore? Also no annoying loot and easier aiming with the possibility of extended automatic slowed time? And I can customize controls so that I don't have to press L3 to run? And then there's improved melee combat, a grappling hook, a glider, and maybe even
I think I'm finally starting to feel the hype. I will keep an eye on this game for sure.
flying???

The list of options is truly impressive. Looking forward to playing the game later in the year (backlog is just too gigantic right now).
Ah! That's nice.PS5 has system level colorblind settings iirc
I was also thinking of those TLOU 2 visual aids that go beyond colour blindness tho, like high contrast etc
Nice to see they also have options for the camera alignment. I know that could get a bit weird for people in the first game.
Question about the co-pilot mode. Why are the controls mirrored on the second controller? I understand a second player being able to assist but it seems like having the controls be opposite for them would be a hinderance. Accessibility settings like this are fascinating but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this one.

Just tried it. Not sure how to feel about it made my hands tired 😐
These are fantastic.
One question, in the controls image there's a function on the circle button called "swan":
I'm not familiar with the term gameplay-wise, and google isn't exactly helping ("move about or go somewhere in a casual, irresponsible, or ostentatious way").
Does anyone have a idea of what kind of mechanic it's refering to?

For sure. I can't tell you how many times I've thought "if only I could change this one little thing" when it comes to a game's difficulty.
Whoa Gyro - i usually don't love it but i try it on every game that has it available so why not. I know tons of people who swear by it.
Also that co-pilot mode is wild and kinda genius. Would love that just like.. baked into the ps5 or something.

Motion blur off? Perfect!
Seriously loving that these 1st party games are going above and beyond for accessibility in general.

Pretty sure it's "mirrored" just in the sense that they're completely replicated on the second controller, like in "screen mirroring".
Especially when it comes to the harder difficulties for me. More damage? Yes. More enemies? Ok. More aggressive enemies? No problem. Enemies that take forever to die? No, thank you, I'm good.
Maybe "swan dive" press O after jumping so you dive straight into the water instead of just floating, just a guess.These are fantastic.

"Mirrored" as in they are the same controls. Pressing a button on one controller is the same as pressing it on the other. Not literally mirrored as in flopped horizontally or something.
That could be it, we see Aloy doing that in the gameplay videos (I assumed it was automatic). Thanks.
or it could be a way to land the flying mount
something like this
Love this stuff in games, wish more did it. I think the balance was strange in the first easy being too easy and normal being too hard for certain areas that customize that would be nice. Other games I can think of was TLOU2 and Control with the later being able to make me finish the game.
Gyro support day 1 is so good.
