Uncharted 4: A New Adventure in Video Game Accessibility
summary
Uncharted 4 adds concrete accessibility options: an in-game Accessibility menu with hold-to-toggle input for button-mash sequences, subtitle lines labeled with speaker names, controller remapping and stick flipping, a camera assist that orients view automatically so the right stick is rarely needed, a lock-on aim that snaps reticle to nearest NPC, and a D‑pad quick‑turn for off‑screen attacks. Features are playtested with people with disabilities over two weekend sessions, work across difficulties (lock‑on disables some trophies and multiplayer), and received strong positive feedback.
