Nestled within a recent press release by Ubisoft for Handigo, a game developed with Handicap International to inform people of the difficiulties the disabled face, is a nice bit of information for all those gamers who are deaf or who just want to read their video games while playing. Ubisoft has announced that it will include subtitles in all its current and future in-house titles.Here's the announcement from Ubisoft:
In order to ensure that our games are accessible to deaf or hard of hearing gamers, Ubisoft has made a commitment to including subtitles in all of our in-house produced video games. This commitment entails modifications to some of our game engines, as well as the inclusion of subtitles in the conception phase of game development. For our games that are already well into production, Ubisoft will include subtitles in all games in which it is technically possible.
According to Ubisoft's announcement, the first games from the company that'll get subtitles will be Far Cry 2 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC), Prince of Persia (DS, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC) and Shaun White Snowboarding (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC).
Definitely some good news for the deaf gamers out there. Let's hope other developers learn from this initiative and follow suit.

Like, if I was deaf, I don't know how I would deal with all the 12 year-old kids on Halo, and their man-less, ball-risen voices. I guess I could send them messages over and over.
But it still wouldn't be the same.
