Observer: System Redux Developer Introduces The Remaster’s 3 New Quests

IGN can exclusively reveal a new Observer: System Redux gameplay video, showing a fascinating glimpse at footage from new quests that have been added to this next-gen update of the 2017 game. The video, narrated by composer and audio director Arkadius Reikowski, shows new gameplay elements from early portions of the Errant Signal and Her Fearful Symmetry quest lines, both of which will be included when the cyberpunk horror game hits PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on each console’s respective launch date.

Observer: System Redux will feature three new cases in total, with the third titled It Runs in The Family. Each will introduce new characters whose stories are intertwined with the lives of tenants already known to returning Observer players, and Bloober Team say that these new stories will add “quite a bit of new content” to the game. Check out footage of the new quests below:

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/25/observer-system-redux-exclusive-next-gen-first-look-tgs-2020″]

In an interview with IGN Japan ahead of Tokyo Game Show, Bloober Team CEO Piotr Babieno shed extra light on the gameplay demo. Regarding Errant Signal, he explained, “While exploring the building, (protagonist) Dan (Lazarski) catches a cryptic message on his ComPass. The device glitches frantically for a few seconds, displaying just a simple ‘Help us’ and a number. Following this lead means that Dan will get to know the ugly underbelly of Krakow 2048 better than he’d like to. It seems that someone in the slums is occupied with human trafficking…”

Introducing Her Fearful Symmetry, Babieno continued, “Dan stumbles upon an odd-looking set of items strewn together in one hallway. Although their purpose is not clear, they were clearly left there deliberately. Along with the strange symbols scrawled on the floor and wall next to them, they appear to form an altar. Stuck into the contraption, Dan finds an unsettling message. Its author seems to be referring to some mysterious woman, longing for them to be together again. The intensity of his affection seems unhealthy, almost psychotic. Dan follows to check if there’s a woman bothered by a stalker somewhere in the building.”

Babieno also detailed the It Runs in The Family quest. “In the Ripper Doc’s tattoo shop, Dan finds a key to one of the building’s apartments,” he said. “Mail on Doc’s computer suggests that it is a spare key to a certain Stanley Tkaczyk’s home, and that Doc supplies him with illegal substances. What is the connection of this case to other of Doc’s questionable business pursuits? What brought Mr. Tkaczyk to the neighborhood’s notorious tattoo artist?”

While leaving a few question marks hanging in the air so as not to spoil the mystery, Babieno told us that the new cases allow players to further explore “classic cyberpunk themes such as omnipotent but faulty technology, unfair work conditions and corporate governance over the smallest details of life,” along with “more timeless topics like familial duty, grief, loneliness, sanity, greed and lust, as well as self-consciousness and emancipation.”

In addition to new quests, Observer: System Redux will feature next-gen upgrades such as ray-tracing and improved loading times, which Babieno says will allow the development team at Bloober to realise their vision for a dark cyberpunk future more completely.

Also, the developers paid particular attention to overhauling Janus, the janitor in the original game, and his office. “As the old janitor is our guide to the building and Dan interacts with him quite a lot, we decided to do an entirely new model for the character with a full set of new animations, to make him more realistic and interesting,” said Babieno. “The office was redone to feel more homely, even if a bit creepy. It now feels like a place where someone actually lives and works.”

Since the original version of Observer was released in 2017, its star Rutger Hauer – who voiced and gave his likeness to protagonist Daniel Lazarski – has unfortunately passed on. We asked Babieno how it felt to rework the game for a new audience in Hauer’s absence, and whether System Redux includes any previously unused footage of Hauer, or shows his work in a new light.

“It was a great privilege to work with Rutger Hauer and also to be able to make one of his last performances shine again,” said Babieno. “Sadly, there wasn’t much unused footage to add to the game, but what we had was enough to give Dan Lazarski a chance to uncover a few new cases.”

Observer: System Redux will be released on November 10 on PC and Xbox Series X/S, and November 12 on PlayStation 5.

All-Digital PS5 And Xbox Series S Pose Unique Accessibility Challenges

As we move into the new generation, it appears the industry is taking big steps toward creating the eventuality of an all-digital future. Both PlayStation and Xbox are offering lower-priced all-digital consoles–the PS5 Digital Edition for $400 and the Xbox Series S for $300–which may make up an increasing share of their console sales as the generation continues. But a digital future poses a unique challenge for disabled gamers, and one that requires laying the groundwork for solutions now.

The benefit of an all-digital future for Microsoft and Sony is clear. With a discless console, you’re locked into their respective ecosystems and the companies get a cut of your purchases. It’s entirely conceivable that the shift toward all-digital will be partly organic, but also pushed hard by the platform-holders themselves. The lower price points for each appears aimed at incentivizing digital consoles to spur on this vision of the industry’s future.

The issue with all-digital consoles was flagged on Twitter by accessibility advocate and consultant Steve Saylor, aka the Blind Gamer. Saylor works with Can I Play That, an online resource for disabled gamers to find accessibility options in games. Saylor noted that disabled gamers often rely on trading in physical games to act as a stopgap, almost-refund policy if they come to realize a game isn’t well-suited to them. The concern is caused by a combination of generally poor pre-release information on accessibility options from publishers and the lack of refund policies on many digital storefronts.

“We don’t really get a lot of accessibility info about games beforehand,” Saylor told GameSpot. “We get it, maybe, about two weeks before the game comes out, if at all. And sometimes it’s just a blog post on a website. It’s almost buried in either the news cycle or social media timelines. There’s never really any big push for it.”

As an example, he cited Cyberpunk 2077. Despite having known about the game for almost eight years, and a promotional campaign that has included trailers, preview events, and regular Night City Wire streams, we know precious little about whether gamers with disabilities will be able to enjoy it.

“We’re getting so much information about the game, including [that] you can customize your character’s genitalia,” Saylor said. “And yet, as far as accessibility info, there literally has only been one tweet [about subtitles].”

That lack of information for most games leaves gamers with disabilities in a bind: take a gamble on purchasing a game without knowing if it will be playable, or wait and be left out of the digital water-cooler conversation that other gamers take for granted. Physical copies allow for somewhat of a compromise, letting disabled players recoup some money if the gamble doesn’t pay off.

Digital storefronts on consoles offer no such simplified solution. Saylor said Microsoft is the most lenient, offering a contact form that can be submitted for the company to evaluate providing a refund on a case-by-case basis, but usually only within 14 days of purchase. (He also notes that Xbox Game Pass is a handy solution for disabled gamers, letting them sample a wide variety of games to find the ones that work.) PlayStation’s refund policy requires you not to download or stream a game before getting a refund, though Sony can be contacted for special exceptions as well. Nintendo, Saylor said, is the most opaque, offering no digital refunds at all. GameSpot has contacted Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo for comment on their policies but as of press time has not received a response.

But physical purchases are still a less-than-ideal solution, and as the industry leans more toward an all-digital future, navigating the accessibility issue will become even more pressing for gamers with disabilities. To truly tackle the problem going forward, the industry needs to adapt–developers should be both clearer and more consistent in advertising the accessibility information for their games, journalists should regularly pursue trying to find this information when it isn’t public, and console storefronts should have broader digital refund policies.

“Obviously, knowing about it allows us to make our proper purchasing decisions,” Saylor said. “I think that the easy solution would be to change the refund policy–but not to do it in a way that will single out people with disabilities, because there’s always going to be people that are going to take advantage of that. And that, essentially, is a subtle form of discrimination, if you are only given the refunds based on the accessibility standpoint.”

Saylor said that accessibility info should be included in the marketing plan from the beginning–not only because it gives disabled gamers plenty of time, but also because it lets them engage with other fans who are excited about the game. He said Ubisoft’s recent reintroduction of Immortals: Fenyx Rising (previously Gods & Monsters) was a good example, as the company invited content creators with accessibility needs to participate in a preview demo and give their impressions.

One digital storefront that has attempted to tackle the problem is Steam, which offers digital refunds as long as your total time played is less than a certain amount. That’s a good solution, but Saylor said it isn’t a magic bullet.

“The caveat to that is that sometimes there are gameplay elements that are a little bit further into the game, past the first few hours, that might become difficult for disabled players to be able to play,” Saylor, who consulted on TLOU2, said. “Say for instance, The Last of Us [Part 2], with the Rat King. That was really difficult for some players to play. [Naughty Dog] actually did release a patch later to remove some barriers to be able to complete that section. But we didn’t know until, obviously, about 15 hours in.

“So yes, I think having within the first few hours, if you try it and you know you can’t play it, yes, a hundred percent, of course, a refund would be great. But in a way, I think also the timeline of within the first 14 days or first 30 days, whichever, would probably be better.”

All this said, Saylor recognizes that disability is “more of a spectrum than an on-off switch.” Accessibility tools fall under a wide umbrella of those meant to assist with vision impairment, hearing impairment, or limited motor capabilities. The breadth of different types of disabilities means the more information available before launch, the better.

“There are certain things you can talk about that are just, in general, able to benefit in multiple disability types,” he said. “And that’s great and that’s kind of all we want. If you really want to [provide] as much information as possible, then studios can put out basically the entire list of all the settings that are in the game, accessibility or otherwise. At least then, we know beforehand what’s available. Because we disabled players, we know what we would need. Sometimes we can be surprised and find that a feature that we didn’t think about would benefit. But we know exactly what we’re looking for.”

Xbox Makes HUGE Moves | Generation Next

It’s been an absolutely huge week for Xbox. Opening preorders up for Xbox Series X and Series S alone would have been a momentous occasion for the company, but ahead of doing that it dropped a bombshell: Xbox has acquired ZeniMax Media. The purchase includes Bethesda, and properties such as The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Dishonored, and Wolfenstein, among others.

In this episode of Generation Next, Lucy, Jordan, and Tamoor talk about the implications of Xbox’s acquisition, what it means for PlayStation 5 exclusives that the company was working on, and the impact it could have on Game Pass. They also look at what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadela has said previously and discuss whether Xbox could make further acquisitions.

Of course, the crew also cover Xbox’s preorder process which, while not as disastrous as PlayStation’s, still was much rougher than most people would have liked. Retailers struggled to meet demands and, in some cases, outright didn’t make preorders for the Series X and S available at the time prescribed by Microsoft. Were Lucy, Jordan, and Tamoor able to get one? Watch and find out.

Generation Next is GameSpot’s dedicated show that’s all about the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Each week we’ll be digging deeper into the biggest news stories, as well as talking to the developers that are charting the future of gaming. You can catch up on previous episodes here.

The Simpsons Recasts Carl Voice Actor

Following a much-publicized, lengthy controversy over representation, whitewashing, and stereotyping sparked by comedian Hari Kondabolu’s 2017 documentary The Problem With Apu, The Simpsons’ 32nd Season kicks off this Sunday with some course corrections enacted: Variety is reporting that in the season premiere, Carl Carlson will be voiced by Alex Désert (Better Things, Better Call Saul) instead of Hank Azaria.

Désert will be taking over the role of Homer’s co-worker and Lenny Leonard’s best friend at the nuclear power plant–although it’s not yet clear whether he will be permanently replacing Azaria and/or other characters as well. Reportedly, Dr. Julius Hibbert–another Black character who under a recent decision by producers would require recasting characters of color to have corresponding voice actors–appears in the episode, but does not speak.

Azaria has publicly grappled with the preceding controversy in media and late-night interviews, before finally announcing earlier this year that he will no longer voice Apu. Last year, The Simpsons creator Matt Groening said that Apu will not be written off the show.

The premiere, an episode titled “Undercover Burns” sees Mr. Burns going undercover as “Fred” at the power plant to discover what the blue-collar employees truly think of him, and after making moves to improve their working conditions and personal lives, a jealous Smithers plots to bring back the old, bitter Burns. In other words, the episode draws inspiration from the CBS reality show, Undercover Boss. The season premiere will air on FOX at 8PM ET.

Best Xbox Live and Xbox Game Pass Deals

Xbox Game Pass is genuinely the next best thing since sliced bread. If you pack it with Live Gold and everything else for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, you’ve got the best thing since the wheel. We’re serious (kinda).

The game subscription platform is damn good though. With its enormous library of games, there’s no doubt that it can blow away even the most cynical of gamers. Ultimate is also the place to be with access to Xbox Live Gold, Game Pass on consoles and PC, alongside Cloud Gaming on your portable devices, and the brand new EA Play deal coming this holiday season during the Seriex X launch. It doesn’t even stop there. You might have heard about the recent Microsoft aquaisttion of Zenimax and Bethesda for $7.5 billion.

That’s right, Doom Eternal has already been confirmed to be heading to Game Pass, alongside a few other future Bethesda Game Studios titles like Starfield and The Elder Scrolls 6 in the coming years. This also means that Obsidian and Bethesda are now sister studios, so Fallout New Vegas 2 is actually a possibility again. If you’re on Xbox, you’re going to want to be on Game Pass as well. While you’re here, you should probably also check out all the other brilliant deals on video games at the moment, alongside new deals on Xbox consoles, and deals on Xbox games.

Not only that, but with Xbox Game Pass providing you access to so many incredible titles, it can be hard to fit them all in one place. Plus, with the new Seagate SSD costing $219.99 at the Microsoft store or Best Buy, you may want to use a Hard Drive to store all your games as a cheaper alternative, and then simply move them onto the Xbox Series X/S SSD when you want to play.
