Some how i can't see that as a good defense in a court room ;), but it would make for a good comedy scene.

So let me ask the stupid question:

Why can't there just be a hazard warning label on the product?

Or a separate product line for epileptics?

S!

So I came to see some vids and found out that they released an unplayable game.
Splendid.

Is it just me or this game is one step from a huge fail?

Let's hope this will be like rof. I am going to wait.

Subtext of all this whining is that epileptics should never be allowed to play video games. Any consideration of the less fortunate should be dismissed out of hand. Problem what problem....

legal notice : “certain people are susceptible to epileptic attacks, or loss of consciousness when viewing certain types of flashing lights or other stimuli frequently found in our everyday lives.
Such people are exposing themselves to possible seizures when they play certain video games. These symptoms can occur in people who have no prior medical history or who have never had an epileptic seizure.
If you have ever demonstrated epileptic symptoms (seizures, loss of consciousness) in the presence of light stimulation, consult your doctor before using any video game.
In any event, please respect the rules concerning the utilization of video games:
- avoid playing if you are tired or lack sleep.
- make sure you play in a well lit area
- take a ten to fifteen minute break every hour.”

What will happen though , and could be devastating, is that the reviews from all specialised magazines and websites will probably be quite bad if the game runs at 20 FPS at medium settings... And my first reaction to Luthier's comments are probably the same as many fans here, is to wait and see...
And that is also critical....

SAlute !

The problem being that the "solution" to allow people that can go into seizure playing a vid game may ruin it for everyone else?

How very inconsiderate indeed.
