Epilepsy tests are "subjective," says WipEout dev

Speaking to EG, WipEout HD director Tony Buckley has expressed frustration at the game failing a routine epilepsy test.

Not passing resulted in the racer being delayed.

"[It was] frustrating more than anything, because it's quite subjective the whole test," he said.

"But we certainly weren't going to take it lightly. We had to think long and hard about how we approached it, because there were ways and means of doing it, but in the end we managed to actually solve any issues without any detriment to the game.

"That was our worry, that the game would suddenly look poorer as a result of it, but no, it's all gone really well."
