I frequent overclockers uk forums and in the PC games section a user was mentioning his troubles about the lack of custom controls in the game Dead Space 2. He wanted walk forward assigned to a mouse button.
It transpires that this user named Gareth has cerebral palsy (from birth) and uses only his chin to play games and browse the internet. and he seems to do it pretty well.
Forum thread -
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk…Now more importantly, the users of OCUK have made a petition to help encourage developers in general and the developers of Dead space to enable more control customization for disabled gamers.
The story has since been getting some big coverage receiving nearly 40,000 petition signatures and having articles on various websites like so -
