I had been thinking all day while playing Shenmue 2 on my xbox last night with CC on. It reminds me that I had been always checking empty cases in order to retrieve the manual to check for subtitles/CC every time I buy a game at GameStop, EBGames, and GameHaven (the local game shop in Knoxville). So I'm setting this thread to list games for all platforms that has either CC or subtitles in their cut-scenes to save us deafies $ and time when buying a game expecting subtitles/CC only to find out there is none. Plus by looking at the list we can know which developer/publisher is more Deafie-friendly or not.


Here list of known games with CC/subtitles: (developer/publisher)
1) Grand Theft Auto 3/Vice City (Rockstar North/Rockstar) -PS2
2) Shenmue 2 (Sega AM-2/Sega) Xbox
3) Onimusha/Onimusha2/Genma Onimusha (Capcom/Capcom) PS2/Xbox-Genma Onimusha only
4) Stuntman (Reflections Interactive/Infogrames) PS2
5) Devil May Cry (Capcom/Capcom) PS2 -partial scenes only
6) Metal Gear Solid 2/Substance (Konami/Konami) PS2/Xbox

This is as far as I know. y'all can add more to the list but u must include the developer/publisher in the listing -it can be found in the back of the game case or in the instruction book.

One of the most trusted developer/publisher is Nintendo. I don't know if there are any Nintendo games without subtitles, but I have to say that every game from Nintendo I've played are subtitled.

Of course, I've played games without subtitles... and sometimes it ruin the experience.

I noticed that a lot of games from Capcom aren't subtitled. What a shame!

Steel X

Yeppers. Nintendo RULES. I'm thankful for all the games that Nintendo made in the past...

Goldeneye 007 (Nintendo 64)

Star Fox 64 (Nintendo 64)

Eternal Darkness (GameCube)

Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 (Dreamcast/GameCube)

The Legend of Zelda series

Dead or alive series (PlayStation, Dreamcast, Xbox)

what NEEDS to be subtitled are...

Resident Evil series (PLEASE, God, PLEASE let there be Resident Evil 4 subtitled on GameCube)

Turok series

some 007 games by EA games

and many others...

Really? Is Resident Evil 4 have subtitle?

SilenceGold

No, Steel is praying that Resident Evil 4 will have subtitles.

illustrator

Guys, we better write letters to Capcom about Resident Evil 4 to have subtitle before it release this fall.

alright?

Steel X

but HOW?!?!?

SilenceGold

Steel, it's like this:

"To whom it may concern,

I am to inform you that there are many hearing impaired video gamers who would be interested for game title, "Resident Evil 4," to include a visual display of what would be spoken to achieve a maximum enjoyment.

I encourage you to develop this game to include subtitles for their sakes. I think it is a win situtation for you when you think about how much revenues you would further gain by luring hearing impaired players to purchase your popular future release.

Thank you for your time,
SilenceGold"

Mailed.

uhmm interesting comments altho i dont own ANY gamer equipment -- N64, PS1 or 2 and the likes -- i still have the origional (black/grey and no colors from the 80s if i remmy right) GameBoy and its never used -- altho still works! :-x

never knew there was such a thing of games having subtitles/CC on them -- 258 and thanks guys for the education seems ive definately not paid much attention to the games and fell behind

i think thats a kewl thing for those deafies who are the die hard gamers

Wouldn't you be better off listing games that do NOT have subtitles? There are a lot more games that have subtitles than those without subtitles. Also, we're more likely to forget which games have subtitles and more likely to remember games without subtitles.

hmmmmmm I think ur right vampyro. While I was making the list it took me long to remember which games I had with the subtitles than ones that DONT have them.

but IMO listing the ones with subtitles will HELP a lot when buying or renting games since the publishers NEVER indicate if there are any subtitles on the game packages. I hate to waste time at the EBGames or GameStop opening the empty cases in order to check the game manual for clues to subtitles.

Steel X

hey subtitles are VERY ****in' important! you wouldn't like me when i'm angry...you REALLY wouldn't like me when i'm angry...

it sound like you were insulting the deafies to just play the game without subtitles and we NEED subtitles so we would REALLY understand what is going on in the game!

perfect example for: Metal Gear Solid 2

if it was NEVER subtitled, it wouldn't actually be sold more than 2.4 million copies in one year

sablescort

yeah right steel .....Having played MGS2 myself on the PS2 with subtitles on it HELPED a lot to make sense of the story.


BTW some additions to the game list:


13) The Getaway (Team Soho/Sony CEA) PS2


Continue adding more games with subtitles on it

Steel X

yes it helped if you have a brain though

illustrator

The worst thing, when they give the hint of music in sound without subtitle. I couldn't figure out but being guess given something or find thru hints boook/web sites to answer the problem. Blech.

I won't forget Myst for PC Game, I was helpless.

Banjo

Oh, I really hated that game because I understood nothing at the time.

Probably because it didn't have subtitles.

SilenceGold

Ha ha...I got onto Walmart for selling me that game, Myst, then I said I wanted my money back...I threated to sue them for discrimation (that wasn't really a law...just a meaniless threat) and they gave me back my money. lol

$80 was a lot for that game on DVD. :/

WilGecko

yeah myst would've been a great game if it would have cc or subtitles....not my fav type of game anyway....right now I am playing my fav and only game on PS2 is Final Fantasy X which do have subtitles, great game....but am looking for more game but I am very picky LOL

sablescort

another game to add to list:

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (Bioware Corp/Lucasarts), xbox

FutureGame2100

You should add The Zelda: Walk Waker. It have a subtitles

There are still more games with subtitles I gotta check over at the EBGames and GameStop as much as I can while im still buying some for my xbox.

Steel X

I'm guessing you didn't play the sequel of Devil May Cry?...

Devil May Cry 2 has more subtitles in cut scenes than it does in the orginal. looks like Capcom's getting tired of complaints from thousands of deaf gamers out there bitching for subtitles lol

sablescort

I wish but I sold my PS2 and bought my xbox before DMC2 came out but it's good that Capcom finally gave in to our bitching about the subtitles! Now next up to bitch at are Ubi Soft and Bungie to add in subtitles for the Tom Clancy games (Ubi Soft) and Halo2 (Bungie)

Steel X

no PS2 owner should go on without Jak II...it's MUCH better than the orginal, Jak and Daxter.

more action, more adventures, more thrills, bigger, longer, and darker than ever.

of course, has the opitions to subtitles also

sablescort

UPDATE:

I forgot to mention that I just bitched to Bungie at http://www.bungie.net at their forum. I got some answer that Halo 2 may *cross my heart* have subtitles! Bungie admitted that they didn't subtitle Halo 1 cuz they didn't have time to do it before they could release it on the same time the xbox was launched on 11/15/2K1.

Let's hope Bungie sticks to their word and subtitle Halo2. If I discover they didn't do it to Halo 2 I'll be one MAD player!

Steel X

For Xbox owners, who has played the acclaimed copy of "Shenmue" on the Dreamcast, proably would like to know that "Shenmue II" is already on Xbox and has subtitles as well. (sorry sable already mentioned that lol)

Steel X

they might do that, they might not. so thanks for fighting for us lol
