Subtitles or transcripts for Audio Logs

[handsomeAniki]

just been solo playing the Nuerogen incident and ive noticed that Audio logs arent clear. sometimes the background noises or Sara's voice will cut out the audio log.

can we please have the option for subtitles when reading the audiologs or at least some transcripts on the forums so we know whats being said.

it would also be nice for in the future updates when and IF we get a PDA. that the audio logs can be downloaded to it for later review. maybe sneak some clues for objectives in amongst the lore.

:)

Yes please.

The few times I successfully joined a server last night only on one of them did I get as far as the first message playing and no further than that. Couldn't work out half of it over teamspeak even though I had the game sound louder than teamspeak. Only heard half of it which is annoying, I'd also really appreciate subtitles as I don't wanna have to leave the teamspeak room just to avoid the possibility of someone talking at the same time as a message.

Speaking of audio logs, does anyone know how many there are? Whenever I pick one up the achivement tracker always says I have collected 1 of 5 rather than adding to the count each time. It also seemed like I found more than 5, but I didn't get the achievement for finding them all.

the audio logs as well as most of the other acheivements arent tracking properly. disregard. collect for the lore, not for the cheevs. :P

Additionally, subtitles make for a game more friendly to deaf gamers. You might think it strange, but there's a segment of the gaming population that's deaf; no subtitles means they're automatically excluded when they don't need to be.

Subtitles is coming in different languages later in development :-)

Oh. Good to hear. With no subs during some heavy action involving homicidial creepy robots it can be sometimes hard to heard what is going on in the logs.

same with Sara's voice. sometimes she gives directions on where to go.. and players miss those when fighting. we need subs in general

And a button TAB or something with objectives popping up at the left corner of the screen for a few seconds or something like this. In case if someone forgot where to go....

I am collecting for the lore, that's why I want to know if I am finding them all and not missing something :)

For the same reasons as above, but also there are hard-of-hearing and deaf players, too! It's rather difficult not knowing where to go at all - I usually need to play with someone else and have them transcibe.

You guys need to put Villy Søvndals 'high girls' speech into this as a hidden audio log.
