Zu Mountain Saga English Subtitles

[Brinda]

95of Assassin's Creed Odyssey players kept subtitles on, Ubisoft have revealed, and 50% of The Division 2 players are currently playing with them on too. These surprising statistics and more come from a wee tweetblast this week confirming that yes, subtitles are hugely desirable even in murdergames. Even as someone who often plays with subs on, I'm surprised by the numbers shared by David Tisserand, an accessibility project manager and user research fella at Ubisoft Montreal. Subs: they are good. Subs in video games: they could be better. Conclusion: more and better subs, video games, please and thank you.

David Tisserand posted a wee Twitter thread on Tuesday as a follow-up to earlier Ubi information-sharing. In 2018, the company said around 60% of Asscreed Oranges players turned the subtitles on. Now he has many more numbers to share about newer games.

In Far Cry: New Dawn, where the subtitles are on by default, around 97% of players didn't turn them off. That doesn't mean 97% of folks made a decision to use subtitles, but it's still impressive. New Dawn is a good demonstration of Ubisoft's modern subtitle options too, including backgrounds for text, directional subtitles pointing out important sounds, and text sizes. It's good.

Its follow-up, Asscreed Oddo, also had subs on by default. Tisserand says 95% kept them on. (Decade-old hot take: Italian voices with subtitles is the best way to play the whole Ezio saga of Assassin's Creed 2.)

Towards the less-storyish and more-murdersome end of the spectrum, The Division 2 has subtitles off by default but Tisserand claims 75% of players have turned them at least once. 50% had them on at the time he tweeted the tweet.

I do wish Tisserand had said more about the source and accuracy of all these numbers, but the overall picture seems clear: many people will use subtitles. It's unfortunate that accessibility features so often need to be sold as a good idea from a business perspective, but if that helps, hey, look publishers, statistics.

While I have a touch of tinnitus in my old age, I don't strictly need subtitles myself. But I live on a busy road, I'm often gabbing on Discord, I may have music or the telly or radio on, my phone is bing-bonging, my attention wanders, I can't believe the character said something so stupid and need to double-check... I like having them.

DEEPFREEZE

Director: Yannick Boissenot 26 minutes Original version, with English subtitles

37 years ago, Patrick Gabarrou and Herv Bouvard defied the impossible by opening the "Walker Directissime" on the north face of the Grandes Jorasses. No climber has managed to repeat this route until February 2023. Charles Dubouloz, Symon Welfringer and Clovis Paulin undertook the ascent of this face, adding an extra difficulty: making the first free ascent in winter. Welcome to the deep freeze of the unknown!

SEA TO SUMMIT

Director: Alastair Lee Original version

A memorable story in the heart of Greenland! Join Bronwyn Hodgins and Jacob Cook on an incredible adventure. Over 400km of kayaking in the middle of the Arctic, with its icebergs and whales, to reach and climb a virgin 800m big wall. A tough objective and capricious weather, but a great atmosphere and breathtaking scenery! Pure inspiration.

FOND OF FONT

Director: Jrme Tanon 35 minutes Original version, with English subtitles

To mark the 70th anniversary of the first 7A in Fontainebleau, Seb Berthe and Hugo Parmentier have set themselves quite a challenge: to complete 100 7A boulders on a single day, linking the crags by bike or on foot. An extraordinary journey of over 80 km through the magic forest! And an extraordinary feat when you consider how demanding these rocks are. Crimps, climpers, falls, slips but above all a magnificent human adventure, sublimated by the poetry of director Jrme Tanon. Major.

SUBTERRANEAN

Director: Franois-Xavier de Ruydts Original version

Could caving be one of the last areas of true exploration on earth? Hidden from the gaze of satellites, underground networks are an infinite playground for adventure enthusiasts. In British Columbia, Franck Tuot and his team have a fixed idea: to discover the largest cave in Canada by linking up different networks of galleries. Between personal sacrifice, success and disillusionment, how far are they prepared to go to achieve their goals? One thing is certain: for these intrepid personalities, the only direction is into the depths.

No Dogs or Italians Allowed is a heart-warming, magical stop-motion film about the Italian grandparents of filmmaker Alain Ughetto, who through feast and famine struggled their way out of poverty to find happiness and prosperity in France. On top of a mountain in the iddle of the Piemontese Alps in Northern Italy is the tiny village of Ugheterra. Nowadays all its houses are ramshackle, but a century ago families, all with the same surname, eked out an existence. Likewise, the grandparents of director Alain Ughetto.

With humour and warmth, via his grandmother Cesira, he relates the saga of his family. Cesira ends up in the mountains through her love for Luigi, one of the 11 children in an Ughetto family. Land is scarce, as too is the food. Every winter, Luigi and his brothers migrate to France and Switzerland, to carry out heavy labouring work. Children are born, new relationships forged, houses built and all the time, dreams of a better existence.

Using a whimsical stop-motion animation style, in which the director quite literally makes contact with his grandmother, Ughetto has created a brilliant, moving love-letter to his parents and his grandparents. Their whole lives they worked with their hands and could make anything they were able to see. Here too, the creator of this film brings everyone and everything to life with his hands, from the cardboard houses and the forests of broccoli to the cows and his own family.

The story of how the Gospel of John changed the course of history for a tribe of headhunters. This is the story of Rochunga's personal pilgrimage. It is an unforgettable saga of his dedication to a vision and of the Lord's direction in his life. Filmed in India, Hawaii, Scotland and America, this beautiful film will be enjoyed by the entire family.

At the close of the 19th century, the British branded the Hmar people of northeast India as "the worst headhunters." It was a label well deserved at the time. But in 1910, a single copy of the New Testament Gospel of John came into this village and changed the course of history for the Hmar people. Through that single copy of John's Gospel, Chawnga, the father of Rochunga Pudaite, was introduced to a revolutionary "new life in Christ." He and a few tribesmen "forsook all and followed Christ." Chawnga believed that Rochunga was God's chosen instrument to bring the Scriptures to the entire Hmar tribe in their own language. Fullscreen.
