Left 4 Dead 2 Demo: Second Verse, Same as the First


Left 4 Dead 2 - Parish 320×320

Yes, it is I, SAKY! I am alive and well, just short on funds and as a result short on coverage material. So donate if you can!

We got our hands on the early demo today and, as suspected, there is nothing new added in way of control options for the second installment of Left 4 Dead. I’m glad that Valve has added Legacy out of the box this year. If you recall the original was given Legacy via a patch over XBL. I WAS hoping for a little more from this year’s installment of frantic zombie slaying but it’s almost a given that little will come of hope alone.

As always, a screen shot of the stick options can be found at the end of this post. Note that the “Y” button toggles the Legacy controls, same as the original game.

Happy Gaming folks. Read the rest…

Uncharted 2: Southpaw Controls in the Multi-player Demo

The multi-player demo of Uncharted 2 gives the possibility to swap the left with the right stick. You can also swap L1 with R1 and L2 with R2.

Unfortunately full customization is not available - I would have liked to swap for example the jump button. But at least Uncharted 2 does improve from the first edition, which had basically no possibilities to adapt the controls, though the Legacy and Legacy-Southpaw schemes have been left out again.

I’m definitely looking forward to this game coming out on October 13 in the USA and October 16 in Europe. Read the rest…
