Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers @DracoSelene89 are you aware that your post was actually written in all caps? lol. That was a little too much yelling for my ears. Anyway, pretty good article. As somebody who's been out of the loop when it comes to console gaming for a long time (in fact, I still am), this seemed to summarize it very well. So, thank you. I'm very excited to see where all this accessibility will take us. I yet have to sit down with any console with text-to-speech capabilities.

Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers arqmeister yes, absolutely. But having said that, gamasutra is an industry website, the goal of the article is to help raise awareness amongst developers there have been plenty of developers over recent years in particular who have wanted to implement accessibility for blind gamers but haven't been able to as there haven't been any tools available, I'm personally confident that we'll now start to see a few at least.

Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers This is all well and good, but it's up to developer implementation. Much like any tool, it's optional, and if developers are primarily used to developing for mainstream gamers, i think they would need a pretty strong push to actually make something happen. I think a big company is going to have to lead the way, Microsoft probably, with the xbox one, but even then, i fear that even if one game was made fully accessible, it would be a drop in the ocean, and get say, a mention in the footnotes of an article. Forgive me, but i think this will take some years to really get flushed out, not that i'm not pumped for the landscape to evolve, i can't help but be more practical than optimistic.

Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers
Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers @Assault: this term is actually very important, because for too long there has been stuff for visually impaired, one-switch, magnifiers, etc. But this is focussing, specifically it seems, on the totally blind side of things, something that has been lacking until around last year when Sony and Microsoft finally started adding text to speech support.

Re: The rapidly changing landscape of accessibility for blind gamers You use the term "blind accessible" a lot, which I can't say I'm a fan of, and there are some things I think should be fixed to make that article look a little more polished, personally... but that's a great summary of the landscape as it is now! I love it! Things are changing, for sure... the resources are there, but without developer interest, this will go nowhere... so hopefully more developers will slowly open up to the idea. Killer Instinct, being one of the big hits of this generation, would make a huge landmark if it became fully accessible, as opposed to just playable.
