Re: Improve gaming experience for the visually impaired - survey
@CAE_Jones:
As far as I know, it works like this in the moderne 3D first person games:
When you load a level, the character is standing in front of you. That means if you push the analog stick forward, the character starts to walk forward. When the character bumps into a wall or other things, the camera ancle turns, and this is where the issues begins. When the camera starts to turn, pushing the analog stick forward does not make the character walk forward anymore. He will go left, right or backwards depending on the camera ancle. When he bumps into something again, the camera turns once again, and therefore, you have no control over where you're walking.
It works like an audiogame where you turn the character by using the arrow keys, but you have no compass. Then, you should add that the character turns when you bump into something, to give the best camera ancle, which also effects the movement.
There are only a very few games which works like Manamon, Pa
ladin of the sky and the other forward, backward, left and right movement games, where you can't turn the character. If a feature could be made so you could lock the camera ancle, or as I previously mentioned, turns the character in the direction you need to go, a ton of more games would have been accessible. So I don't agree that adding a screenreader or talking menus would solve all the issues. It wouldn't solve the accessibility issues if you have no control over your character...
