Xbox has announced plans to expand its gaming accessibility initiatives by building out the Xbox Accessibility Guidelines (XAGs) and launching a "platform-provided" program tapping gamers with disabilities to get their feedback on further improving accessibility.

These improvements include adjusting the language to make it clearer to grasp, adding "scoping questions" to help developers identify specific elements, and updating goals to make them easier to understand.

Nintendo was working on a universal controller that would work across Nintendo, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms, former executive Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed. He told Inverse that Nintendo was making this controller in 2019 after Xbox came out with its own Xbox Adaptive Controller . Fils-Aime said Nintendo thought of the Xbox Adaptive Controller as a "jumping-off point to create something that would be platform-agnostic and adaptable by any consumer." Fils-Aime said, "Imagine an adaptive controller that you could play with your latest Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo platform. That's what we were working on three years ago." The Xbox Adaptive Controller was designed for people with limited mobility that takes into consideration the needs of gamers who may not be able to hold a controller for a long time or reach all the triggers and buttons. File-Aime left Nintendo in 2019 and doesn't know if this project is still in the works, but he hopes it is. "I'm not sure if it … [Read more...] about Nintendo Was Making A Universal Controller That Also Worked On PlayStation And Xbox

A Call of Duty blog post describes the trailer as a "vertical slice." That shows off core features, visuals, audio, and overall player experience. The campaign mission is meant to set the tone for what players can expect upon its release on October 28. "Dark Water balances being completely realistic while being completely ludicrous," said Rich Farrelly, lead-level designer at Infinity Ward. Sound designers for the game got creative and toyed with microphones on a lake to create authentic boat sounds used in the mission. At the same time, another recorded the sounds of precipitation and added rain sound to give the players a more immersive experience.
