Mecha Hitler Says “Nein” To Alternate Controls

Have you been wondering if Wolfenstein 3D for XBLA and the PSN offers alternate controls? No? In that case, skip this post entirely and continue about your business.
But if you answered “yes,” then hopefully the news that Wolfenstein 3D lacks any alternate control options won’t cause a major amount of distress for you. Although, I tend to think that many of us expected this to be the case due to the title’s age.
While the Activision-published Wolfenstein scheduled to arrive this August won’t feature Mecha Hitler, hopefully it will include our preferred control options. Games published by Activision have a good history of offering alternative controls, so with any luck, Wolfenstein will follow suit.
[Thanks, Thy Master]

Who you gonna call?
While you’ve likely read that joke across numerous gaming websites this week, if you’re a Legacy player, you may want to call Atari to voice your displeasure about the lack of Legacy controls in Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
There is some good news though: Read the rest of this entry »

Soulwarrior recently scoped out a demo of the Playstation 3’s action / sandbox game, inFAMOUS, which was developed by Sucker Punch Productions.
As you were likely able to decipher from the post’s title, inFAMOUS doesn’t offer special consideration for those who prefer to use alternate controls. The left stick is used to run, while the right stick is for looking around.
Screenshots can be found below: Read the rest of this entry »

Sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but the recently released Xbox Live Arcade game Cellfactor doesn’t include any support for alt-controls. There is the standard y-axis inversion, though no legacy or southpaw thumbstick configurations. Read the rest of this entry »

I had the chance to go and rent Damnation this weekend and let me tell you, not only does it not support legacy or southpaw control layouts, the controls are so clunky, I would advise to stay away.
It does, however, Read the rest of this entry »
You Won’t Find Any Salvation in the New Terminator Game

Yesterday evening I was able to grab a copy of Terminator Salvation. I hate to deliver bad news two posts in a row… but low and behold, Southpaw and Legacy configurations are MIA. The only form of modification that can be utilized is Y axis inversion.
Considering that the game’s developer, GRIN, also omitted alternate controls in Wanted: Weapons of Fate and Bionic Commando, the lack of options in Terminator Salvation are not surprising.
May hasn’t been a good month for us overall - but hopefully the upcoming Damnation (out May 26) will deliver the goods. Or you can check out Red Faction: Guerrilla when it arrives in early June, as the demo was fairly fun and offered the four standard stick layouts.
Bionic Commando Gives Us No Reasons To GRIN

The folks at GRIN are a busy lot these days, having released three games already this year. But perhaps with such a heavy workload, they have been too busy to implement alternate controls in their games?
Like Wanted: Weapons of Fate, their recent action/platforming game Bionic Commando does not offer Southpaw or Legacy configurations.
Things aren’t looking good for Terminator Salvation either, another game by GRIN. I’m hoping to take a look at it over the weekend so I can relay the control info along to you all… but I wouldn’t recommend getting your hopes up based on what we’ve seen from GRIN so far this year.
Thanks for checking this one out for us, Greg.
