Even though the DOOM 3 SDK is still missing in action, the DOOM3[CC] guys are gearing up to release the first version of their mod which will offer full text transcription of every piece of audio in the game for deaf / hearing impared gamers. Though the eventual idea is providing closed captioning, the early version of the mod will make an addition email appear on the PDA for every audio log and video disk.

Gamers with hearing problems are not the only ones having a hard time with D3. What about the millions of people whose mother tongue is not English? You know, like, the rest of the fucking planet?

It is one thing to take your time to read the logs and figure out the whole thing, but to actually rely on spoken dialog for crucial information can be quite a pain in the ass if your English is not very good to begin with.

I wonder why people are even rejecting against this idea... have they never known a deaf person?

It's not like they are stupid or anything, they just can't hear... if anything it makes them more alert because their other senses are that much more sharper.

People posting shit like "DEAF PEOPLE SHOULD NOT PLAY FPS'S" are either about 12 years old or half retarded themselves.

Thank fucking god. It's bullshit that subtitles / closed captions weren't included by default. Seriously, I fucking hate it when companies totally neglect to add them.

It's the main reason I don't buy Aristan DVDs.

I'm not terribly hearing impared or anyting crazy, but I do have trouble making out what people are saying sometimes, and being able to read it while I listen to it helps a great deal.

I wasn't even aware that this wasn't a built-in option. The fact that it's not is kind of ridiculous.

What about a headband with directional vibration?

Or should I have patented that instead of blurting it out?

But yeah, I think it is an awesome approach for gaming. The more, the merrier.
