Having worked on The Last of Us andUncharted4 during a decade at Naughty Dog, Gallant “rose to lead systems designer onThe Last of Us Part IIand co-headed the charge forover 60 accessibility features”, the studiosaid.
It’s now been revealed that many of these accessibility options have carried over toThe Last of Us Part 1.
XboxEra’s Nick Baker originally posted a number of in-game images showing off its accessibility features, including various settings for combat, screen reader and audio cues, navigation and traversal (including the ability to skip puzzles) and motion sickness (including the ability to adjust field of view).
While Baker has now deleted his tweets, others have since republished the leaked images:
I’m seeing loads of people voicing their anger/concern for the remake’s gameplay, and that’s 100% okay. I’m not here to argue with anyone.But I think one of the undebatable things about this remake is all the accessibility options. (1/2)pic.twitter.com/6HHKjvA8ee
