Any PS4 Gamers? (self.Blind)
submitted by Ross2503
Cos of my sight I play simpler games, here are the ones I generally play but would be up to trying others if people would recommend... Rocket League, Little Big Planet, GTA 5, FIFA, among others. If there's already a gaming community of you all, let me know :) A visually imapred Rocket League team sounds fun!

I play. Mostly America’s Army lately because it is close range combat sim so easier to see people.

Ah cool, is that a PS4 game?
brainotomy 1 points 3y ago
Yes. Free. Was only available in the USA until a year ago.

Even better! I like free stuff

it took me a long time to get into video games again after i lost my sight cause i would get frustrated too quickly. used to play a lot of games like cod and such, but then playing online would be too frustrating cause i would react too slow. recently though i played the ps4 game for spider-man and it really did walk you through it-- would place markers to where u need to get to move the story along, gives plenty of time to press buttons when the button commands show up, highlights things that are necessary. sometimes it's a bit tough, but overall, i think it's pretty accessible.

Yeah I'm pretty much the same, mostly stopped playing games online now unless it's a really simple one that doesn't require a lot of sight. Ah I've heard that Spider-Man game is supposed to be really good, my brother completed it pretty much as soon as it came out and he said it was awesome

Tekken is really good for blind and visually impaired if you are into fighting games. You could also try mortal combat.

PS4 is the superior console IMO. I know people are on Xbox bc of the accessibility stuff, but... omg I love the interface and that console is so sexy I could fuck it and the controller is so fitting and just... oooooommmmggg

PS4 loves me when no one else does 😢😢😢

What are the accessibility options in Xbox?
bscross32 1 points 3y ago
You get narrator pretty much system wide except games. Games have a tts API going on that devs can take advantage of. The XAC (Xbox adaptive controller) for people with physical handicaps. There's probably more I can't think of. All this I know bc of friends who have it, I don't have one yet.

Ah, that's interesting! I know PS4 has TTS system-wide too and a magnifier, I'm just curious as to which form of gaming is most accessible for people with low vision.
bscross32 1 points 3y ago
Hmm, unless they changed some things, I would not call it system wide. There are a lot of places the tts doesn't... or didn't work. I haven't touched one in like 2 years though, so I could stand to be corrected on that front.
I would say spoken menus, and a mix of audible and rumble cues. If you could use a magnifier in a game, there's so much else going on that, by the time you looked at what you had to under the magnifier, something else might have happened that you missed.

Yeah I'm with you! Plus the better exclusive games and better free games on PlayStation Plus make it even more superior

Yoooo I used to play a lot of PS4 games but I don’t that much anymore cuz I have to study a lot.
But yah I can’t really see very well and some games I love are of course GTA but also Bo3 zombies (cuz 1 bo4 and dead and 2. I love it cuz they come to u so like I never really had to worry about looking at them from far way)
Ok another game would be overwatch but I only played with like close range hero but it’d still a bit harder to play tho. But it’s really fun

My girlfriend is absolutely addicted to overwatch haha. I never thought of of trying a zombie game on PS4. I suppose I've never really come across one that I thought I might be able to play well
_rj29 1 points 3y ago
Honestly bo1,2 and 3 zombies are all amazing. It was really easy to have fun playing them cuz would normally either play with family or friends but I don’t really think there are any good PS4 games that I like now but that’s maybe cuz I don’t play it as much.
Ross2503 [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Yeah, maybe I'll have to check them out :) and yeah I don't really play as often now but it's something I'm intending to get back into
