"Tekken 8's Colorblind Mode Sparks Accessibility and Health Concerns Amidst Controversy"

Bandai Namco's attempt to improve accessibility in Tekken 8 with colorblind filters has raised concerns among accessibility experts and users. A particular filter featuring black and white lines has been reported to cause headaches, vertigo, and concerns about the potential for epileptic seizures. Despite the good intentions, experts are urging the developers to use tools like EA's photosensitive epilepsy safety testing tool to ensure the game's features do not harm players. The game's director, Katsuhiro Harada, has responded to the feedback, emphasizing the range of options available and the positive reception from many demo players, with the game set to release on January 26th.
