Less swipe, more choice
One of my biggest concerns withKillzone: Mercenarywas that we’d bemade to swipe across the touch screenfor every melee attack. Breaking the way one holds a PS Vita for shooter games to drag a finger along the center of the screen is awful, and I hated the way it looked in trailers.
In this 17-minute gameplay demo, Cambridge Studios says you can actuallychoosebetween button prompts and swiping nonsense, which pleases me no end. Unless they’re located at the edge of the screen, I’ve no patience for heavy touchscreen use in a game with traditional controls. It just doesn’t work. Now knowing I won’t have to twist the Vita every time I want to knife someone, I’m more excited.
That in mind, game looks great and promising. Looks like they’re reusing a bunch of environments fromKillzone 3though. Will have to see about that.
