Meh, on the one hand I agree in principal, on the other I've been wanting haptics to not suck since forever.

Personally I don't think we need things spelt out. Add a few sounds and the ability to read menus and other unreadable text, and I think we'd be fine. I could be wrong though. By a few sounds I mean sounds for doors, walls, openings, treasure chests, guns and ammo on the ground, you get my point.

Hi at post 1
welcome to the forum!
I have filled up the survey. I will be happy if you add a question that how main stream games are accessible and how you would be going to play them.
I am not strongly disagree with the hardware like thing but It will somehow weered.
Thanks

@Strkfreedom: Thanks for your reply and questions. Here is my answers for your questions:
1. Do you find the mainstream games enjoyable as it is, given the current accessibility? For example, on fighting games like Mortal Kombat or shooting games like GTA.
Yes, I do find playable mainstream very much enjoyable as they are. However, the problem is that just a few things are needed to make them fully playable. More on that in question 3. GTA is not very playable, because you can't do the missions. But you can do a lot of things in the games though.
2. Follow up on the first question, can you describe some moments you enjoy and some frustrations you faced?
Oh, I've enjoyed so many moments while playing mainstream games. I've enjoyed playing Rockband, Guitar Hero, most fighting games, Shank, a lot of great games on my old psp etc. I have spend so many hours on playing mainstream games.
I have also had a lot of frustrating moments. Here are a few of them:
I've played through most of the Telltail Game of throwns series. I'm currently stuck in chapter 4, because the music is too loud to hear the foot steps, and the room is very difficult to navigate, because there are a lot of opsticals to bump into. I need some help from a sighted person to pass this area. The game is playable with a lot of patience until this part.
I have given Uncharded 4 a try as well. The audio and controls are designed so well, that a blind gamer can almost play the game. But the platforming is an issue, because you can't hear where to jump. If there were added a small feature where you could press a button and the character turned into the direction you need to go or jump, this would make the game playable. The company have already added a lot of accessibility features in the game such as auto aiming, so this is a shame that they won't listen for more feedback. Yes I have tried to get in touch with them, both on Facebook, by mail and by forums. So I think I'll sell the game again...
3. What are the other problems you can think of besides improving screen readers?
Well, so many games are nearly fully playable, the way the controls are designed, or the way the gameplay is designed. The problem is mainly the navigation in the mainstream games. On the consoles the controls are mostly designed so you need to push the left analog stick in the way the character is phasing, and not the direction you wanna go. If the character is standing with the back to you, you need to push the stick backwards instead of forward to walk forward. This makes it nearly impossible for a blind gamer to control the character, because there is no way to tell which way the character is phasing. One way to solve this issue is to add a button, which turned the character in the right direction you need to go, just like in Resident evil 6, and a few other games. If this feature was added, so many more mainstream games would be playable, and sounds for doors and other stuff would not be that important.

"3. What are the other problems you can think of besides improving screen readers?"

The issue isn't so much that screenreaders need to be improved, it's games' accessibility to screenreaders that needs to be improved. That's largely something that needs to be fixed at engine level, in things like Unreal, Unity etc. With that, lots of games would just work out of the box. Without that, there are few few with accessible interfaces.

@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, Paladin 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...

@SLJ, @CAE_Jones:

We are very excited for your feedbacks. We did some discussions on what we can come up that would cope with the accessibility problems you identified. I'll let you know about it shortly.
