Trilogy renewed by Spyro lacks something important for many players

While Spyro: a revived trilogy upgraded some classic adventure games with brilliant new visuals and a beautiful new score, it looks like someone forgot to include consistent subtitles. If you want to read the dialogues as the adventure unfolds, you have trouble finding most of the cutscenes of the games.

At a time when more and more developers are striving to make their games accessible to more and more people, it seems odd enough that Activision and Toys For Bob are totally abandoning the inclusion of -titles for Spyro: a revived trilogy. That seems like a prerequisite at this point, yes?

But that's apparently what happened, as pointed out by Rob Pitt of GamePitt. Pitt was working his way through the Spyro games when he noticed that something seemed to be going from the new trilogy. Like most other players in the game, Pitt lived a life of dreams, noting that the game offered remastered images, a new sound, the ability to play with the original score and even better improvements through the support of the Xbox One X. PlayStation 4 Pro and the ability to play the game in multiple languages.

However, Pitt usually likes to play his games with subtitles. He does not have hearing loss, he just likes to read the story and know what happens if the room he is in is noisy or if the volume needs to be lowered at night. But what he discovered is that unless the game offers some kind of tutorial, the dialogue is not available in subtitles.

For a player who has a hearing loss, this is probably an extremely frustrating issue and, again, it is somewhat confusing. But sometimes, things fail despite the best intention of developers. I am one of those who have to play with the inverted Y axis, so I can not literally choose a game that does not have that option. It's something that I have not had to do for a long time and, the last time it happened, the developer admitted that it was just something that was not was missing to anyone in the team. The game was subject to the usual quality control, but as no team member reversed the Y axis, even these people did not realize that it was theirs. missing.

Subtitles, however, are a little more important because they allow more people to play a video game. In terms of accessibility, this seems to be one of the easiest considerations to consider for your inclusion in your game. What's frustrating is that when Pitt contacted the team, his response was very impressive. The answer begins as an advertisement for the game before noting that there is no "industry standard for subtitles" and that they will "evaluate the future".
