@NandoRos2077You are aware that the significant majority of players are not deaf, therefore an option to switch to something like you mentioned would be available to all and that would be a bad addition to the game. An indicator for the direction of the footsteps is simply a "radar" for everyone.
I don't know how to sugar coat this but fps games likes there are simply sound based and if you are deaf, sorry but tough luck.
That’s a * thing to say tbh. It would be just like fortnite. It doesn’t give anyone an advantage whatsoever. I think it’s a great idea
She did say that all sounds would be muted if the hearing impaired mode was on which would not give the everyone else a leg up. I feel that is an amazing step in the right direction of inclusion. In today's society we are looking to include anyone and everyone we can when possible. That whole "tough luck" mentality needs to be left back in the 1900s where it belongs. We have the ability to help include and modify almost anything when necessary so why not do that to help include the hearing impaired? Scared they will beat you?
Games should be available for EVERYONE to play. Deaf people shouldn’t be excluded from a gaming experience because they lack hearing. They way the post is worded is amazing and turning off in game sound while this is active would be a great step towards inclusion.
@Schaapje1987 Not that I disagree that "fps games likes there are simply sound based", but does it have to stay that way?
When the opportunity to help someone who is different from you arises, why throw so much negativity at it?
@Schaapje1987I don’t see how it is negative, deaf or not the audio in this game is so bad most of the time you can’t hear enemy footsteps over your teammate’s footsteps anyways
Just add visual effects like fortnite did where it will show footstep logo if an enemy is close, it could show a jump pad or jetpack logo if someone is in the air, logos for abilities, a trident logo, etc I don’t remember how Fortnite’s worked exactly but I think it also shows you the direction a player is
it is a setting, so you don’t have to worry about player’s having advantages over other player’s when the option is available for everyone to turn on/off in their settings so basically its their choice but personally I think everyone should turn it on or it should be on by default so newer players know about it
@op
There is something called sonic radar that Asus provides as a download.
I'm not sure if it is allowed so you should check with respawn first.
I was first on the mindset that it is a cheat.
But now I think anyone with a good headset will outplay it, but it does what you are asking for, it visualizes sound into a visual radar overlay.
I did not read the rest of this thread so apologies if it was mentioned already.
