Mostly yes, but what about those flying creatures? They make almost no sound, and are haard to hit even without a blindfold.

You could probably play an FPS if you had a blindfold on, if and only if It was Halo, or Halo 2. You were in a completely silent room(excluding the game of course) And there was surround sound turned up. Very very high...

I don't know how, but I'm sure there are those who do and have fun doing it.

But how would they play FPS?

Honesly, I didn't check my PS2.

But the SNES had dots indicating what player the controller port was for, and then the Xbox has Numbers above each controller port.

Just something silly I noticed.

Uhm. I have never noticed that...Even after you pointed it out. BUt I will disagree anyway! Blind people can play games, well, RPG's like Pokemon, because there was always sounds to give away what was going on...But at some parts it would be very challenging not to be able to see...

Well, worse has happened...such as our DMV applications reading things like "If blind, check here..."

... maybe it's for the design, I mean seriously they can't be that dumb to put things on a controller to help blind people play games.

... it's probably to make it look good

On about all of my videogame systems, there's a form of "Numbers" around the controllers ports, probably for the blind to know what they are. (Shapes, dots, etc)

But think about that ... helping blind people to be able to play videogames ...

Seriously, I'm not even going to say anything, just think about it.

In no way am I'm aiming to be anyway offensive, but seriously, it just doesn't make much sense.



....well, I've never noticed this on controlors, but I think I see where your going with this. It does seem to be a bit pointless doesn't it?
