[games_access] Brainstorming Tomb Raider 2013

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi Chris,

 

Gameplay Option (or something like this)

Set combat to easy.

 

Then you will see the sequences without having to press a button.

 

I have no disability, but I struggle a lot to be able to play it.

I play games to have fun and not struggle to control it.

I would love to see Accessibility as improvement for usability for all
gamers.

 

Regards,

Sandra

Hi Sandra,

 

  The new Tomb Raider did change a lot of things from the older games, but
we found that it was generally fairly accessible when we looked at it. (
http://www.dual-ring.net/tomb-raider-accessibility-review/ ).  

 

I am interested that you note that the QTE's can be turned off.  We had the
most difficulty with these and ended up writing work arounds to reduce them
to single key presses (
http://www.dual-ring.net/replace-button-mashing-in-tomb-raider-with-one-butt
on-press/ ) but if there's a way to turn them off or reduce their numbers we
would be very interested in finding out about it!

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

I just played Tomb Raider.

 

@Ian you said something about the quality of the subtitles?

 

Quick Time Events (sorry did not remind the correct term)

* Can be turned off: combat difficulty on easy

 

Automatic aiming:

* Can be turned off: combat difficulty on easy

 

 

 

I like it, but I would prefer to be able to select them separately. 

I have big problems with the combats, but like the quick time events.

 

I do not like that it changed to a shoter.

The combats are very very very very very difficult. (also on easy)

 

There are still time puzzles that cannot be set on very easy.

 

 

It seems to be much more difficult to play it with gamepad

than with a keyboard in the combat.

 

 

My result: It is nice to have more accessibility, but

it should be implemented with more quality.

For this they need easy to understand information.

 

Regards,

Sandra
