Some people will of course use this for cheating purposes.

Cheaters always gonna cheat no matter what. If it helps make games more accessible, then it probably has good value.

For myself as nowadays 99% of mine are single player games, I'm not bothered.

Also, welcome back!

My son used something similar in game in Fortnite and I grounded the shit out of him.

Welcome back m8

A cheater will always cheat whether that device exists or not.

Those with disabilities however have less options and it‘s great that this exists. If this can be used on single player games then it’s even more important for them.

Seems like a great device. Don't really see a problem as long as it's not picking up and showing incredibly faint sounds that people wouldn't really be able to pick up through speakers/headphones.

Really? It’s a core accessibility feature in Fortnite that’s enabled in the options. Dick move.

Not really lol

 

[Hrk69]

The sound in the game has to be good for this to work no?

Because it's rarely good / accurate in my experience

He got the attention he wanted

Surprised he posted here and not in Reee

 

[diffusionx]

The fact is, that there really isn't much difference between accessibility feature and cheating when it comes to vidya.

 

[Phase]

He's water cooled now! Welcome back OverHeat

I don't care if you use it, seems like a good tool for those that are deaf.

OverHeat glad you stayed.

And you are? Never mind I won’t get in an argument on my first day back

Let's be honest: his son should have been grounded just for playing Fortnite.

OverHeat , it isn't cheating to use this. Games already have sound, and this is just giving you a visable display of the approximate location of the sound in case you don't have 7.1 speakers, or if you have to play with low volume, et cetera. This doesn't give any advantage unless (as ssringo stated) it is picking up sounds that the player would never be able to hear normally.

Also, welcome back you stupid faggot. Love you.

58 reviews, yet still in pre-order. I smell BS on this.
Fake reviews are a clear warning.

I hope to God you're not serious.

Good parenting.
Cheating tools should be used in mature competitive games only.

 

[BlackTron]

Changed my mind.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I’m fine with it.

Gaming headsets are marketed to hear the direction of enemy footsteps with better clarity.

 

[Mephisto40]

Great for people with hearing problems, but yeh, that is going to be used for cheating

I wouldn't be at all surprised if we start seeing streamers with multicoloured lights all over their monitors soon

 

[StereoVsn]

Cheaters will always find a way to cheat in MP. However this device will do more good than bad for folks with disabilities. So good to see such things to expand gaming audience.
