Sifu players outraged as developer reveals difficulty options are coming SloclapSloclap co-founder Pierre Tarno revealed that Sifu is getting difficulty options and some fans aren\u2019t too happy about it. As a game where players get to control a martial arts expert throughout his life, Sifu offers a refreshing take to not just the slap \u2018em up genre, but to video games in general. With its unique death mechanic that ages you a year forward upon reviving, reducing your health in exchange for extra punching power in the process, the game brings a whole new meaning to difficulty in games \u2013 something that is greatly appreciated by hardcore fans. Sifu fans outraged over difficulty options addition On a recent Twitch Gaming stream on February 10, Sloclap co-founder Pierre Tarno said that Sifu will be getting accessibility updates following the game\u2019s launch with additions such as improved captioning, and a high contrast mode. One of the features that took the cake was the addition of difficulty modes. Previously known to be firm in their stance on easier modes, the developers wanted the game \u201cto challenge players and encourage them to learn.\u201d With the main idea of players getting better, he explained himself in an interview with MP21st back in November stating, \u201cWe want Sifu to challenge players and to encourage them to learn, improve and adapt. The ability to rise up from death will help new players by allowing them to fail and try again multiple times when they face difficulty.\u201d Although Tarno didn\u2019t give much detail pertaining to future accessibility features for the game, he said that the Sloclap team is \u201cconsidering and planning for\u201d difficult modes, adding that they\u2019d announce \u201csomething to that end pretty soon.\u201d Hey! So it’s weird I get to help break news but yes #Sifu is getting #accessibility updates post-launch. \u2013 Better captions \u2013 High Contrast Mode on PS4\/5 (was on PC, but not PS4\/5 at launch due to a bug) \u2013 Difficulty Modes. Both easier & harder, similar to Metroid Dread’s update. https:\/\/t.co\/9pFTOmfvnR\u2014 Steve Saylor (@stevesaylor) February 11, 2022 In response to this, some Sifu fans aren\u2019t exactly happy. \u201cNo patch for an easy mode either get good or leave it be,\u201d said @Gamer39Geeky on Twitter. \u201cDon\u2019t change the difficulty; doesn\u2019t need easy mode,\u201d @charlie8bits replied. Don’t change the difficulty \ud83d\ude1e doesn’t need easy mode \u2014 Charlie8bits (@Charlie8bits) February 12, 2022 \u201cDo not make a difficulty setting,\u201d said @EdmundAmore. \u201cThat\u2019s the ENTIRE point of the game.\u201d It\u2019s difficult until you grind to perma unlock things. After that, it\u2019s not nearly as hard.\u201d Do not make a difficulty setting. That\u2019s the ENTIRE point of the game. It\u2019s difficult until you grind to perma unlock things. After that ots not nearly as hard. \u2014 EdmundAmoreOfficial (@EdmundAmore) February 12, 2022 This isn\u2019t one of the first times gamers have been outraged over difficulty options added to harder games.
