Days Gone Remastered To Add New Accessibility Options, Including Game Speed

If handling the Freakers in the remastered version of Days Gone proves too nerve-wracking for you, rest assured, the game offers options to make your experience less tense.

On the PlayStation Blog, Bend Studio has shared some details about the upcoming accessibility enhancements for the Days Gone Remastered version.

As a dedicated fan, I’m breaking down this post that dives deep into the impressive array of visual, auditory elements, and gameplay enhancements. One standout feature is the option to adjust the game speed, a handy tool designed to assist players when they find themselves in tense, high-stress situations.

Apart from the Days Gone Remastered release for PS5, many of these newly added features will simultaneously debut with the PC version and the launch of the Broken Road DLC. This DLC, along with the remaster, is set to go live on April 25.

High Contrast Modes, Audio Cues, And Slower Game Speed

In the enhanced version of Days Gone, you’ll find a highly adjustable high-contrast mode offering 11 distinct color choices for enemies, interactive objects, and your character. This will help improve visibility during gameplay, in addition to the already available subtitle and high-contrast HUD options.

As a gamer, I can customize my gaming experience right off the bat by adjusting various settings within the opening menu before diving headfirst into the game on its debut run.

In addition to the enhanced version, you’ll find two fresh audio choices: a user interface narration that won’t be accessible for the PC DLC, and audio signals to help pinpoint collectibles more effortlessly. Moreover, the overall audio quality has been significantly upgraded.

UI narration will be enabled by default, and can be disabled from the initial setup menu.

The standout feature among the latest accessibility updates that many gamers will appreciate is the inclusion of adjustable game speed options. This enables players to slow down the pace of gameplay from 100% to as low as 25%. This can be particularly beneficial for players who struggle with their inputs and maintaining composure during intense, high-pressure situations like battling large groups of Freakers.

This may come in particularly handy during the remaster’s new Horde Assault mode.

As an avid gamer, I appreciate the versatility in this game’s settings. For instance, you can reposition the camera during an attack for a more immersive experience. Plus, you can customize the vibration intensity to suit your preferences. Furthermore, the Quick Time Event (QTE) auto-complete feature isn’t just available on easy mode anymore, which adds an extra layer of challenge for those who crave it!

Developer-centric considerations regarding accessibility have never been more crucial, particularly following Ubisoft’s launch of a novel, complimentary Chroma tool, designed specifically to streamline colorblind accessibility in game development.

In simpler terms, Days Gone Remastered offers various enhancements over the original version, such as customizable graphic options and fresh gameplay modes, taking full advantage of the enhanced power of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 5 Pro.
