Re: [Audyssey] FINALLY! There is a Wii game for the blind!

The only thing that's important is keeping track of where you are yourself. Start with that, and then start getting into where your opponent is. Fighting games, especially modern ones have always had a great deal of audio, at least the good ones have. Street fighter old and new always had a lot of sounds, and SF 4 is the best game for it. But the fact is, that's where the strategy in fighting games comes in and shows the game's true depth. positioning is important, and you, as the player need to make your opponent move where you want them to. In fighting games terminology, it's called controlling space. It's a very deep genre, and one that's quite often underrated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Lemm" <paul.l...@sky.com>

Hi,
I'm intrigued you say that you all play these main stream games like mortal 
combat etc but I can't see how that would work?maybe its just because I've
never considered trying to play a main stream game since I lost my sight but 
surely with no sight you wouldn't know where the other person is , for
instance if they jumped over you wouldn't even know which side of you they
are anymore?  Again sorry if I've miss understood  but if others with no
sight have managed these types of games with success then I may give them a 
try myself.

I'm with Clement. I play a lot of te old SNES Mortal Kombat games and
they're perfectly playable without sighted help. Granted that doesn't
do any good if you're not into fighting games but it still proves my
point. Besides, whhat I want to know is how these people got
permission to develop games for the Wii since that couldn't have come
cheaply.

Let me just step in for a moment and say that in Michael's defense,
mainstream games can be hard to get into, especially for people spoiled

with


self-voicing menus. Michael, to be fair, you should give the games that

are


indeed playable on the wii a chance, rather than just writing them off as
not playable simply because you can't go through menus. And what exactly

is
wrong with memorization? It's attitudes like that, the lack of willingness 
for change that has kept audio games in a rut for so long and produced so
many good but similar games. Personally, I think menus don't need to be
voiced, at least, main menus shouldn't. In game menus are a different

thing,


but it should be good enough for people to read the documentation and get
the main menu into their heads, and then work based from memory. Just my
personal opinion though. One last note... Michael, if you find a game

which


is playable, or try out a game given on this list, odds are at least one

of


us might have knowledge of the menus or at least the important ones. And

if


not, if the game sounds interesting, one of the people with sighted
assistance will get it, figure it out and post the results. This is why I
almost exclusively play fighting games... other than the genre we can get
into the most, I don't need any sighted assistance at all, figuring out
menus is something I can do on my own, since, funnily enough, most

fighting


games have a similar main menu structure.
