00:06I'm Colin Berry, Game Director at Lucid Games, and today we're here to give you a deep dive
00:11look at Destruction All-Stars, the global sports entertainment event where stars and
00:16cars collide.
00:19This adrenaline-fuelled action game arrives on the PlayStation 5 console in February.
00:23That's next week.
00:25And active PlayStation Plus members will be able to download the game at no extra charge
00:29from February the 2nd through to April the 5th.
00:34Here we go.
00:35In Destruction All-Stars, your goal is to get inside a vehicle and cause as much carnage
00:40as possible, but there's depth within the destruction.
00:43You'll select from 16 diverse All-Stars, each with their own special abilities and a unique
00:48hero vehicle.
00:50Then you'll strap in and compete in arenas around the world.
00:54While Destruction All-Stars were built with online multiplayer in mind, let's establish
00:58the basics first and then leap into some single-player gameplay of Mayhem, one of four play modes
01:03available at launch.
01:04Okay, let's get behind the wheel.
01:07In Destruction All-Stars, you'll have access to three common vehicle types.
01:11The first vehicle is all about speed and getting you from point A to point B as quickly as possible.
01:17This car drifts and takes corners like no other in the game.
01:24This smaller, more nimble car is the most responsive, agile vehicle in Destruction All-Stars.
01:30It's designed to help you have maximum control.
01:36Finally, we have the heavy vehicles.
01:38These are all about stability and they can endure far more damage than the others.
01:45These common vehicles are disposable by design.
01:48We want you in and out of the vehicles, taking damage, wrecking others and getting wrecked.
01:53In the bottom left of the hood, you'll see a hero vehicle icon and a hero icon.
01:58You'll charge up your hero ability and hero vehicle as you evade, wreck enemies and collect pickups.
02:04Let's check out the hero ability and hero vehicle for Lupita and Shift, two of our over-the-top All
02:10-Stars.
02:12Lupita is an offensive focus driver.
02:15Her hero vehicle leaves a trail of fire to damage her opponents.
02:21Her hero ability enables her to do the same whilst on foot.
02:27Here's Shift.
02:28He boasts a more subtle defensive play style.
02:31Shift's hero vehicle can slip into stealth mode, enabling devastating ambushes with a souped-up Slammata.
02:37On foot, Shift's hero ability allows him to become invisible and disappear from your opponent's mini-map.
02:44What's more, when in hero mode, all characters can double-jump and move faster, so you can zip around the
02:50arena in a fluid, flashy manner.
02:52And speaking of movement, our characters have incredible traversal skills that go far beyond running and jumping.
02:59They can wall run, vault, and vault boost, ricochet off walls, dodge, and far more.
03:12These athletic feats are every bit as crucial as strategic driving.
03:16Use your All-Stars abilities to score, explore, and battle for new vehicles as you careen across the arena.
03:26If you dodge an incoming rival vehicle and manage to jump onto its roof, you can attempt a takeover or
03:32a wreckover.
03:34React faster than the driver, and you can claim their ride, or destroy it.
03:38Fantastic wreckover from Shift!
03:40This combination of acrobatic abilities and bone-rattling car combat makes Destruction All-Stars a truly unique experience.
03:48Whether on foot or behind the wheel, scoring opportunities are plentiful, and you always have a move to make.
03:57In addition to Mayhem, there are three other modes that you can play online or via the single-player arcade
04:02mode.
04:04Let's check out Carnado, an 8v8 team-based mode that's a favourite of the team here at Lucid.
04:10Your goal in Carnado is to earn gears by smashing, wrecking, or stealing your opponent's vehicles.
04:18But Carnado has a catch.
04:20You can only bank those gears by driving your vehicle into the Carnado and wrecking your ride.
04:26The longer you stay out and about, the more points you can bank, but you risk losing them all.
04:34Next up is Stockpile.
04:35It's a team-based game that's all about collecting gears and controlling each of the three banks.
04:42Wreck your opponent, then jump out of your vehicle to collect their gears.
04:46Quickly deposit them into a bank to take control.
04:50Evasion and quick thinking are key.
04:52One hit will scatter your gears across the arena.
04:56Naturally, your opponents will be ducked to the same shenanigans, creating a tug-of-war dynamic.
05:03Finally, we have Gridfall, where the last All-Star standing wins the match.
05:08Sections of the floor will fall away over time, making the match more and more dangerous as it progresses.
05:14In Gridfall, you can eliminate opponents by knocking them into the abyss, or by wrecking them.
05:19And while you have a limited number of lives, you can earn more as you play.
05:23So get ready to make some death-defying leaps to stay in the action.
05:28Ever the showboats, our All-Stars are always ready for a change of clothes.
05:32You unlock even more flamboyant costumes and cosmetics by using one of two types of in-game currency.
05:38All-Star coins and destruction points.
05:40You earn All-Star coins by playing online and earning XP.
05:45Destruction points can be purchased at the PlayStation Store.
05:48And later this year, you'll also be able to earn them by competing in daily and weekly online challenges.
05:54Whether you're redeeming All-Star coins or destruction points,
05:57the content you unlock is for personal expression only, and it will not gain you any competitive advantage.
06:05Now let's look at the challenge series.
06:08Each series can be redeemed with destruction points, and focuses on one All-Star and their rival.
06:13They provide a little bit of backstory and character motivation, as well as plenty of heated action.
06:21In each challenge, you'll pick your skills against rivals in the gameplay modes mentioned earlier,
06:25as well as unique single-player challenges, such as Crash Course, Break Time, Skirmish, and my personal favorite, Transporter.
06:36Challenges culminate in a final showdown with your rival.
06:40It's time to show them who's truly on top.
06:42Beating in the arena.
06:50And that was your first in-depth look at the outrageous world of Destruction All-Stars.
06:54Now you're ready to start dishing out some awesome wreckage for the highlight reel.
06:59Destruction All-Stars lands on the PlayStation 5 console on February 2nd,
07:02and will be included at no extra cost for active PlayStation Plus members.
07:07But launch day is just the beginning for Destruction All-Stars.
07:10New modes, new characters, and refreshed playlists will arrive throughout the year.
07:15Thanks for watching.
07:17We look forward to seeing you in the arena.
07:2110 seconds now!
07:34PlayStation.
