MS should force devlopers to include Southpaw options in games that require it.

I made a similar post on the official xbox forums, and all I got was a bunch of repsonses from presumably right handed 13 year olds who disagreed with me.

MS should set regulations so that both left handed and right handed controls can be used with games such as GRAW.

Its such an easy thing to implement in, and also so important, and I still don't know why developers overlook it. Timesplitters has had southpaw controls for the last 6 years...

pardon my ignorance but surely it cant be that different? Ure hands are sat on the controller and im sure co-ordination is pretty much the same?

Try playing using different controls to what you normally use, then come back and tell me its easy.

Yeah, I got used to Southpaw by playing a lot of Timesplitters, to then suddenly start using something is not easy.

yes i understand this but its also not an option in many games and hasnt for years so surely left handers will just grasp it in the end? As said some 1 in here has got use too it.

Southpaw isn't just for left handers. I am right handed and use the southpaw controls.

The point is, if it is so easy to implement, and it affects a fair amount of people, why not put it in?

And lots of games do, ie timesplitters, quake 4 etc.
