Game dev in training.
Ready to deploy approximately Q1 2012.
I don't think this topic has been brought up in any existing thread, so I'll give this my best shot.
Now, the VISR has already been shown to utilize the color red to identify enemy targets and the color green to identify friendlies. In addition, yellow is used to mark points of interest.
I am considered to be red/green color deficient, or colorblind. For those unfamiliar, this means that my eyes are slightly bad at interpreting those two colors. One problem caused by this is that under the right conditions, particular shades of red and green can look the same.
At this point, you should see my concern. Now, judging by the screenshots, I don't think VISR will be a major issue. At least ODST's generally don't look like Brutes and/or Grunts. I'm also under the impression that a handful of Bungie employees have the same condition and I hope that they can make sure it's not a problem.
However, I wanted to get some other people's thoughts on this. In addition, I would think that using a red-enemy/blue-friendly color scheme instead would eliminate any possibility that problems would come up.
Whether you're colorblind or not, what do you think?
