Anti-epilepsy filter?

[ruxtmp]

Well this kills my thoughts on purchasing on release date in the US. Steam was already making me worried due to issues I had with COD MW, but after reading around the forums I thought it may not be as bad in CoD. This new feature kills it for me, I'll wait to see what people experience and make my judgement in December, the game should be in the bargain bin by then anyway. Also this gives me more time to save for a rig upgrade (looks like I'll need one anyway).

Now I am honostly looking forward to IL-2 4.11

Aw stink aye!

A note to people suggesting that the devs wont be sued...thats not the issue. The issue is that UBI fears to be sued. They fear that if they are sued, the company will die.
Thing is, with such a plociy implimented, the lack of sales for the product will likewise cause the company to die.

Remember what happened with GTA 4 SA with the "hot coffee". Even having the ability to mod the game and allow access to that disabled content was enough to have the game either reclassified, or even pulled from shelves.

There is a lot to consider with this, and a simple warning is not enough to stop vultures (sorry...litigation lawyers) from trying to make a name and killing for themselves.

I agree, it sucks, it is stupid, it is grossly over compensatory for the "protection" of a small minority (those who suffer from epilepsy).

Its much safer for a person to discover they have epilepsy when they are sitting at a computer at home rather than when they learn to drive, crash and kill several innocent bystanders.

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?

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.”

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.

After what Luthier told us, it is clear that COD is a "unfinished product"...
It is about 3 to 6 months short of being fully optimised, wich corresponds to the time they spent " implementing" the filter code that creates all sorts of problems with the playability...
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....

Here it is. I think 1C didn't want to keep pushing Cliff's release date, so they released it! What's the deal? Some people can barely play it, some cannot!
Just support 1C for now, let them built up an amazing new IL-2 the upcoming months.

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....
