THE AWESOME GHOST posted:There are videos out now and both the PS5 and the Xbox Series play old games significantly better, even in many cases where the devs put in no or limited extra work to make them do that. If the Nintendo Switch 2 has DLSS, it could theoretically take a the native old 900p image and render it to 4K.

Truman Sticks posted:I got out of the Mako one time to fight some baddies, and when the fight was over and I got back inside, I instantly got a game over. Apparently the Mako had taken fatal damage during the fight so it became a literal death trap. Ok, so that's hosed up, but otherwise, the Mako was fine.

MS using the same button names as Nintendo but in the opposite positions is legit the most hosed up thing in gaming

Microsoft even stole the color scheme from Dreamcast. Also, on the topic of confirm/deny, Sony is letting a bunch of 30 year old marketing dudes from California take over the entire Playstation brand and one of their first orders of business was loving over the Japanese market.

I've been playing Genshin Impact on PC with an xbox controller, and B is set to confirm and A is set to cancel with no way of changing it in-game. I can retrain my brain after playing for a little bit, but then it leads to chaos when I switch to playing 99% of other NA game releases where A=confirm & B=cancel.

Remember the dark souls port that had B as confirm except on text input screens

I wonder why they can't just make it a toggle? Or just configurable from the system level, seems like a very very very easy fix that would accommodate a lot of people.

I don't think there's money to be made by forcing Japanese people to use X to confirm, destroying 26 years of muscle memory, but hey I'm not an executive for a billion dollar company so maybe I'm wrong.

Quantum of Phallus posted:You can remap on PlayStation at the system level Unless I'm missing something, remapping the buttons on Switch would make A/B reversed for everything, not just for confirm and cancel. It being backwards by default on Playstation is extra dumb because the buttons are literally labeled with O and X, which anyone could look at and understand as being yes and no.

As someone who's imported a large amount of JP region games across the past 3 generations of PS platforms, I've frequently run into issues of JP region design clashing with The Rest of the Planet's. Some games are cool with X=Confirm and automatically transition to it on a system OS level, while some don't and just blurt our O=Confirm so you hit circle and it actually cancels the act. It's kind of a pain in the rear end to deal with sometimes.

Also all Japanese signs and product designs use Circle for yes and X for no, which will make the PS5 one of the major consumer products that does the opposite

I put O for yes and X for no because I saw it done in a videogame and thought it looked neat. The teacher flipped out and thought I was giving my person a zero. He told me to put to a check mark when the answer was correct. I tried to explain but I was shut down. This was in Canada. Violet_Sky fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Nov 8, 2020 |

I'm Canadian and I had roughly that same experience in school. When I did something wrong they wouldn't cross through it, they circled it then noted what was wrong.

I'm in the Midwestern United States. Some teachers did use a checkmark instead of an X to indicate incorrect, but a circle always meant correct. Fascinating that this is evidently regional.

All games should allow full button customization. Hell, you should be able to customize and save controls for each game from the console OS level at this point.

Anything close to a AAA game should have complete customization with automatically adjusting in-game prompts and whatnot I won't say every single indie game should put in that level of effort, but yeah there should be console-level remaps also, for accessibility reasons if nothing else

What do you guys mean by at the console level? Like how the switch gives you full control where A can actually he your ZL and ZL can be set to ZR? Because yeah that's a real cool and neat feature more systems should offer

I always thought it was weird the way electrical equipment used a circle for 'off' when a circle also represents an active circuit. In conclusion human iconography is weird and subjective

Basically that, except if you could also save presets for specific games so you don't have to shuffle control schemes for different games. It'd save some hassle for developers, if nothing else.

Feels Villeneuve posted:as far as games that are actually on the switch go, i am losing my poo poo trying to figure out Mad Rat Dead's controls but at least the soundtrack is bad rear end I tried the demo for that because a certain vtuber played it and I kept ground pounding into cactuses. I'm glad it has a rewind mechanic instead of forcing a perfect run or checkpoints on you, but I'm a bit concerned that anything more complex than was in the demo will just leave me a flailing dumbass. Music is indeed super great.
