For example these are the sizes you can choose from: small, medium, and large. A new feature New Frontier brought to this game was the option to increase or decrease the size of the subtitles. What stops me from giving this a completely “Barrier Free” rating is the fact that during quick-time events, there are still some moments that require you to quickly aim the right control stick and press buttons repeatedly.įor gamers with hearing impairments there are subtitles. This feature makes action scenes a lot less stressful for disabled gamers with fine motor skill impairments. Whether or not this was intentional or a possible bug is unclear, but one thing is certain. This is a huge step up in accessibility options. I literally moved left with the control stick and the game reacted as if I pressed square. For instance, during a scene where walkers were attacking the game prompted me to press the square button. What this means is any of the buttons on the controller or even just movement from the left control stick will perform the intended action on screen. Interestingly enough, now during these events none of the prompted buttons are required to complete the action. However, New Frontier added something really helpful for dealing with quick-time events. Quick-time events are notoriously challenging for disabled gamers because they require timing, precision, and sometimes repeated motion. For dialogue choices and quick-time events you press one of the four digital action buttons. To interact with objects or people you press the X button. You move your character with the left control stick and aim the camera with the right. Admittedly, New Frontier doesn’t have customizable control options, but The Walking Dead games have always had very simple controls. New Frontier has definitely improved on its accessibility features since the last two games were released.
Not only are the Walking Dead games accessible to most disabled gamers, but the games have universal appeal for those who don’t usually play video games.
#THE WALKING DEAD A NEW FRONTIER PC CAMERA SERIES#
The first game in the series is one of my favorite games of all time. Ask anyone and they will tell you I’m a huge Walking Dead fan. If you’re not familiar with the series, they are episodic games that mainly focus on narrative, decision-making, and quick-time events. Clementine and a new character named Javier. In the first game you played as a character named Lee Everett, in the second game you played as the lovable Clementine, but in New Frontier you will play as two characters. The Walking Dead: A New Frontier plays a little differently than the other games in The Walking Dead series. Clementine is back! She has become a hardened warrior, ready to kill more zombies than ever before.
