PS4 – Subtitles out of sync with audio during video playback
Title: Subtitle Audio Delay on PlayStation 4 (skate.)
Platform: PlayStation 4
Game: skate.
Issue Type: Audio / Subtitle Sync
Severity: Medium
⸻
Hello EA / Skate Development Team,
First of all, thank you for the continued work and support on skate. — it’s great to see the game still being actively maintained and enjoyed by the community.
I wanted to report an issue I’ve been experiencing related to subtitle timing during gameplay, as it has been consistently noticeable and impacts the overall viewing experience.
⸻
Issue Description:
There is a noticeable delay between spoken dialogue audio and the on-screen subtitles. Subtitles appear slightly behind the voice audio rather than being synchronised.
⸻
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch skate. on PlayStation 4
- Enable subtitles in the settings
- Play any cutscene or dialogue-heavy segment
- Observe subtitle timing relative to voice audio
⸻
Expected Result:
Subtitles should appear in sync with spoken dialogue.
⸻
Actual Result:
Subtitles appear delayed compared to the audio.
⸻
Severity: Medium
(Does not block gameplay but negatively impacts user experience, particularly for accessibility and longer dialogue sequences.)
⸻
Additional Notes:
- The delay becomes more noticeable during longer video or dialogue segments
- Restarting playback does not appear to resolve the issue
- Issue persists across multiple sessions
⸻
Thank you very much for taking the time to review this report. I appreciate the work the team continues to put into the game and hope this information is helpful.
Kind regards,
Garry Cameron
