Rogue Warrior Offers a Lone Control Scheme

Rogue Warrior, Rebellion’s tactical shooter that centers on Navy SEAL Dick Marcinko unfortunately doesn’t offer any alternative control layouts.

Rebellion is also currently working on the upcoming Aliens vs Predator game that’s due in early 2010 so the odds of seeing alternate controls in that one aren’t good - but expressing your concerns never hurts. Read the rest…

Slippery Controls in WET

A2M’s WET will arrive on retail shelves next week, though a demo has been floating around on the Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Network for a while now.

Unfortunately, Southpaw and Legacy controls were not present in the demo. The options for the full game, in all likelihood, won’t be any different.

Sorry, folks. At least ODST isn’t too far off.

Legacy in Wolfenstein? Nein

Ok, that will be the last “nein” joke for a while…

Anyway, Raven Software’s Wolfenstein offers Southpaw, but Legacy players are not as fortunate. In addition to Southpaw, look inversion is available, along with five button layouts.

To be frank, I’m surprised about the Legacy omission since Raven’s Quake 4 offered all four stick layouts. Based on this, it’s a fairly safe guess that Singularity, another Raven Software title in the works, will ship with the same stick configurations as Wolfenstein.

As always, Legacy players are encouraged to contact the developer or post on the game’s official forums to express concerns. You never know what may come of it.

OMG, No Legacy Controls In New Call of Juarez!!

That’s right, it seems us Legacy and Legacy Southpaw users have been left out in the rain with Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood.

I was shocked that it only has Default and Southpaw thumbstick configurations seeing as the first game had all four layouts. At least if you are a Southpaw user you can rejoice, because there is an option for that in both stick and button configurations.

This serves as a great example not to assume that a game will have all four standard thumbstick configurations just because the first one did. If I didn’t have a Legacy modded controller I would be “calling” out many words that aren’t “Juarez,” and heading straight back to the store I bought it from.

It does, however, Read the rest…
