When we talk about the controller bindings, we always refer to the playstation setup. Like if you tell "you have to push triangle, or R2", everybody seems to know which one it is, without looking or even thinking
Honestly, I don't even really know where they are unless I'm looking at them. The games that show all four face buttons and just highlight the one I need to push are the ones that really work for me.
this lack of a standard layout is annoying
the xbox style layout, which a lot of pc games such as Hollow Knight expect, is not something im used to, especially with yes and no buttons (a/b) being reversed compared to nintendo switch
and a lot of games dont have good remapping
especially with yes and no buttons (a/b) being reversed compared to nintendo switch
It's also reversed on Playstation. Games use "X" for "yes" and "O" for "cancel". But only in the west, it's reversed in Japan.
In all seriousness I wouldn't be surprised if this is purely a legal precaution.
Yeah, I was pretty sure it's a patent, copyright, or trademark thing.
Purple 'Q' button, Orange 'R' button, Magenta 'S' button, and the Black 'Horseshoe' button.
How about a controller with only "X" buttons, but each in a different font?
Swap them all to:
---- N
W------E
-----S
Well clearly the answer is an X to the right
I've got a (non-brand) playstation controller, but for some reason, Steam thinks it's an XBox controller and puts the XBox button prompts in games instead. I had a (non-brand) XBox controller before, so my muscle memory thankfully knows the buttons and I don't actually have to look.
I want a controller with A-south, B-west, X-east, and Y-north.
Big gaming companies. They could made a standard layout, but they are not so clever for this. Every time i play with my Nintendo Pro controller a new game in the PC i get frustrated until i find the proper workaround.
I mean the layout in terms of functions is generally standardised between PS and XBox style controllers (i.e. "back" is the right hand button, "confirm" is the lower one...) it's just that the buttons have different symbols for those functions across PS and XBox style controllers.
