Haze Demo: No Legacy! But isn’t this game by the GoldenEye crew?

Word around the official Haze forums is that the recently released demo supports a Southpaw setting – but Legacy and Legacy-Southpaw are missing.

But how can this be? These are the guys that worked on GoldenEye 007. We all use Legacy because of them and their fine games of the past. This game is also published by Ubisoft. What’s happened here? I thought they changed after the GRAW situation.

The Official Haze FAQ has stated for months that this game would support full customization. Well, you all know that could simply refer to button re-assigning. A nice feature, sure. But for many of us, if we don’t have Legacy we certainly won’t care that we can set the reload function to any button of our choice.

Hopefully the retail version will end up supporting all four standard stick layouts: Default, Southpaw, Legacy and Legacy-Southpaw. What a blow this could be to our community though should the full version omit Legacy. It would mean the crew that got as all started with Legacy thanks to GoldenEye has turned their back, and that Ubisoft games are no longer a sure thing for alt-controls in spite of the GRAW uprising and its success.

We are only a couple weeks away from Haze’s official release, so I guess we will have to wait and see. But I’m not encouraged because you all know from our past experiences that demos and betas usually reflect the final controls of a game.

Come on, Free Radical and Ubisoft. We are counting on you! Include Legacy!
