Look for Accessibility Features  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When shopping for video games at GameStop in the Cherry Hill Mall, you can ask the sales representative which video games offer the most in terms of accessibility features. We review some helpful features that are available below.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haptic Feedback  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Haptic feedback, also known as touch feedback, describes the use of vibrations in a video game controller that simulates what something might feel like in real life. For example, tiny vibrations may indicate oncoming footsteps, while intense vibrations may indicate an explosion. Many modern video games and controllers use this type of feedback to let you know what\u2019s going on.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visual Cues  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With most video games, visuals are even more important than the audio. So even if you can\u2019t hear what\u2019s going on, you can still see it. Many video games offer awareness indicators, which are visual cues that something is happening, like an opponent approaching.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text-Centered Games  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the same theme as visual cues are text-centered games. These rely even more heavily on visual cues, specifically text that flashes on the screen to provide information on what is happening. These games are essentially like interactive reading exercises.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subtitles & Captions  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important accessibility features many video games offer is subtitles of NPC dialogue and live-captioning of other players\u2019 speech. This website provides accessibility reviews<\/a>, including how well games are subtitled and captioned.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic Sound Controls  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic sound controls describe when you can turn up the volume on dialogue and turn down the volume on distracting background noise, like music and sound effects. This way, you can hear the important sounds more easily without distractions.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
