[games_access] GTA IV - PS3 Control Scheme - AccessibilityNightmare

[Barrie Ellis]

Hi Jason,

Yes - anything and everything to bring to the attention of developers that change is needed.

I'd recommend you and others with concerns post on relating forums and via direct e-mail and even written letters. Make mention of the IGDA's GASIG (i.e. us) and this will help even further...

  Barrie,

   

  I could not agree more.  What can we do?  Can we start sending position statements to game developers with specific suggestions?

   

  Just a thought,

   

  Jason

  Grand Theft Auto - control scheme... What a nightmare...

  A "context button" and on-screen menu could have got rid of 80% of those controls for gamers needing it...

   

  Still "R2" looks like a fun button to interface to for one-switch gamers playing in a team...
