Welcome new followers! We assume you know who we are, but in case you don't: CIPT is built, run, and written by disabled people, covering accessibility primarily in gaming.

We mostly share our (new) articles and the odd repost here, commenting, liking, and reposting is always greatly appreciated!

3. Provide subtitles for videos with dialogue
4. Provide videos with audio description
5. Use #camelCase or #PascalCase in your hashtags

Carlos played through Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater and found it improves on the original thanks to a new control scheme and camera. It does lack any new visual accessibility features, and at least one fight relies on directional sound.

We definitely hope remapping is added in-game sooner than later, so players don't have to depend on other solutions!
