CAGiversary!
I have an unusual request. I am hearing impaired, and have trouble picking up the dialogue (and by proxy, the storylines) in games that do not have the option. I had this problem with the original God of War games.
When I heard the announcement that the first two games were being rereleased for PS3, I wondered if a subtitle option would be amongst the improvements. I decided to ask Bluepoint Games directly. I found their website's contact page:

I sent them the following email (to the address [email protected]):
Hello. I am very interested in the upcoming God of War Collection that your studio is working on. I had played the original Playstation 2 games, and found the gameplay of the games to be quite fun and enjoyable. However, as a hearing-impaired person, the lack of a subtitle option for the games made it very difficult to understand the storyline. And as this link indicates, I am not the only one who had this problem:

Will your studio's upcoming collection of the two include a subtitle option for spoken cutscene and/or in-game dialogue? If so, that would make it a day-one purchase for me. I am excited about the possibility of experiencing the saga's storyline for the first time, and I am sure other deaf and hearing-impaired gamers would be very interested in your product if such an option was added.
Thank you very much for your time.
I sent the above message last week, and have yet to hear back from them. I was not really sure if I should expect a response at all, but I did get one last year from DICE in regards to whether Mirror's Edge would have subtitles or not (they thankfully affirmed that it did).
Getting to the point, would anyone be willing to drop Bluepoint Games a line regarding the possibility of subtitles in the GOW Collection? Even if they do not respond, perhaps multiple inquiries will persuade them to add the option to the re-release.
I realize this is far from the usual CAG request. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
