The only company I know of that has done it intelligently is Platinum. When they show a button for a QTE they show you the position of the face button in the prompt itself. poverty goat posted:actually, having switched from 360 to ds4, not having letters on the buttons is perfect because there's no conflicts/overlap, much unlike how microsoft hosed up all the buttons and colors for everyone who grew up with nintendo. it means you can use a dualshock gamepad without going insane if it's not your historical gamepad of choice, because if the screen says to press A there's not a wrong A button and it's 100% clear whether you're getting DS prompts or not from game to game

I have no problem with button prompts from Sony. Those shapes are burned into my brain forever but switching between an Xbox controller and Nintendo is a nightmare. I can only blame MS for not only being uncreative with their buttons, but just jumbling up Nintendos button config.

Away all Goats posted:lol what? Nintendo pretty much invented the modern controller. Analog stick, trigger button, rumble vibration from the n64, and the gamecube controller had analog buttons and wireless (sold separately but still) You say this like the dualshock wasn't literally the template for every modern controller, or the original PSX controller didn't have triggers, or analog buttons are a defining feature of modern controllers, or Sony didn't release rumble at the same time in Japan... No, Nintendo didn't invent the modern controller with their wacky rear end N64 and gamecube controllers that were only any good situationally. E: I realized you are probably referring to the SNES for the trigger not N64 veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Sep 13, 2018 |

IDONTPOST posted:If we’re still on controller chat, dualshocks are easily the worst of all time but everything before the first Xbox 360 controller except the GameCube controller are terrible. The gamecube controller was terrible too though. I've genuinely never understood why people seem to say this, besides Smash breaking people's brains?

Anybody who thinks the N64 or GameCube controller in particular were worth a poo poo is drinking kool-aid. At least people have mostly stopped trying to pretend the Wii controls were good.

Vegetable posted:This is weird because when I was scouting controllers to buy for PC use, most of the cross-platform reviews settled on the Nintendo Pro controller as the best one. I haven’t tested it myself but it gets really good reviews. I think good battery life and a d pad mostly contribute to that.

The symbols on the DualShock don't bother me personally because I play with Xbox prompts and don't need to look at the controller for those, and the dpad is simply the best of all the modern controllers. Having a good dpad is very important for those few kinds of games where I prefer to use a controller and that sorry thing x360 controllers have is a nightmare.

Sometimes when my PlayStation game prompts me to push "X" I accidently hit "∆" because the SNES controller is still the first controller my brain references.

We can argue about controllers until the cows come home, but the undisputed king of memory card was the dreamcast. So as to be a controversial opinion, I think that was the best gimmick on any console and that they should all do that.

I think those gimmicks would have lasted longer if they played more to user-friendliness and cross-compatibility. Hell, revive Digimon as a mobile app nowadays with cute graphics and you could maybe even compete with Pokemon Go. Though no one wants to give it more than the bare minimum of production values.

I had a sega genesis and Saturn and I still have trauma over its lovely remotes. Using them at a retro game shop reinforced that for me. Some things have just gotten better, period.

God of War did this too, it helps a ton. I'm playing Yakuza 0 right now and the karaoke/disco minigames have an extra layer of annoyance because although the button shapes match the controller I'm using(a 360 one), the background color is just the PS4 black. I played a ton of PS2 in my teenage years, so I get confused when I see a blue X with a black background and have to remember it's the 360 X button, not the PS2 one.
