'Southpaw' controls to be added to Perfect Dark XBLA? photo

After four hundred and sixty-seven lewd e-mails from us, Rare and Microsoft Games Studios decided to listen. Perfect Dark Zero will finally be updated with "Legacy" and "Southpaw" control schemes, both of which were left out of the final release of the Nintendo 64 classic port.

It might be true, at least. At 11:59 AM on April 1st, game producer Nick Ferguson (ForensicGunk) tweeted a "sneak peek" of the supposed control scheme update, adding that it will hit at the "end of April" via a Title Update. We'll follow-up to see if this is for real and not one of those clever April Fool's things.

It swaps the left and right thumbsticks over for left handed people.

This makes lefties like me quite happy. Also it's just normal Perfect Dark, not zero ;-)

Sounds like something that the game should already have.

I'm left handed, and I'm pretty much comfortable with using regular controls. I do however have a left handed mouse. (weird huh?)

Wait, Southpaw is a control scheme for lefties? why isn't this a standard for FPS games instead of news?

Screw the lefties. Commie bastards.

On a serious note, are they actually doing this because you sent emails to them, or were you just saying that?

Not being a southpaw, I care much more about the "lock sight" option up there. I hate the loose reticle of old games, so I really hope that does what it sounds like...

My sister is a lefty but she uses normal controls and a normal mouse, pretty much normal everything. She would never shop at The Leftorium.
