When we say that The Last of Us: Parte 2 it is a special game we do it both by talking about its undisputed playful merits, but also by thinking about the overall quality of production. For example the masterpiece of Naughty Dog is one of the few games that have included one as standard mode for the blind.
This has given the opportunity to many people, among them On Thomas, one of our readers, to fully live this magnificent experience. For this reason he decided to share his story both with us and with all those who want to hear it.
We leave you to his message, as he describes the project better than we could do NVRadio:
“I’m Tommaso Nonis,
a passionate since many years of video games, especially those for consoles. A gamer who, however, is blind from birth. This, as you can well understand, prevented me from playing about 95% of the titles on the market, being able only to enjoy some titles by means of failed tests and attempts rather than true usability and playability.
Well, all this is changed, thanks to the infamous Last of Us II, the first game “for everyone” that allows, through an audio interface and speech synthesis, to play from start to finish even to those who cannot see the screen, the graphics cannot taste it most of the time, before now, he could only watch others play.
Together with some friends, with whom I manage a technology-themed Web portal related to visual impairment, we decided to make a radio broadcast on this aspect, in which one of our fans will broadcast a demo of how, without the aid of sight, you can safely play this title. The broadcast was broadcast yesterday, but will be listened to later, on a deferred basis.
In fact, I believe that talking about the effort made by Naughty Dog in the major industry newspapers is what needs to be done so that this is not an isolated episode, but let it be the beginning of an era, in which no enthusiast is left behind.“
You can find all the details of this initiative at this address. So complements to Naughty Dog for demonstrating this sensitivity and to Tommaso and his friends for this project. Let’s not let them miss ours support.
