non critical stuff. like quickly viewing maps and such, zooming in and out.

Oh snap! Tidux welcome back!
yea, pinch and zoom style. Intuitive like looking at a map on our phone, also whilst being zoomed in, i should be able to throw the map to quickly pan accross it, whilst zoomed, much faster than using an analogue in GTAV
Map navigation and change radio channels! Would be cool to swipe through weapon selection, while dpad is used for quick select.
May be we can come up with more ideas if you drop a hint on the genre. What type of open world game? Is GTA V a hint at the genre or just that it's open world?

It all depends on how intuitive it is and how responsive the DS4 touchpad is.

like this?

Just to explain, I have not made this movie, I'm not in this movie and I have not made this game.
I just wonder if it's like this you mean?

there is a good explanation in the link I just posted how the touchpad feels

quick swipes left/right/up/down for:
potion/heal use
weapon change/scroll
thumb pinch for:
camera zoom out to map, zoom in back to place
touchpad clicks for:
player-assigned things that need instant access during stressful, emergency situations like a sudden grenade throw.

yup basically.... and lol to the bolded portion don't be so uptight man
even though you have all reason to be
Flick up to bring up cellphone, then navigate the icons as you would on a smartphone (drag finger across the touchpad) etc. Also, as a mouse in the internet browser etc.

Yeap, don't know who to believe anymore.
All we can do is believe in Bish and let him do his thing. If he checks out, no reason to still be doubtful.
I'm still pretty early in GTA V, what do you mean?

take a chopper or a plane and fly as far as you can! =)
So he compares latency to the trackpad on an HP notebook in the video. Is that hardware latency or just the way AC4 devs have managed to implement the controls?
Bummer

Hardware Latency.
I like them gradual rather than instant.
Increasing the difficulty in which to go higher, for example in a plane I need to get to 50% speed to go to 80% height, but then It becomes more difficult to get higher, I need to push it up to 80% speed to 90% height and then 100% speed to get to 100% height, make it feel like it's a limitation of the plane rather than hitting the roof.

Divide the touchpad into 6 segments and allow us to assign weapons/items/abilities to them for quick use. For example click top-left for assault rifle, top-middle shotgun, top-right sniper, bottom-left health pack and so on. Use d-pad to swap out different sets of 6 icons.
Can the touchpad be programmed at will? As in can you make "buttons" of the corners? Or various swipe edges do different things? Maybe scroll across the right edge for weapons/left edge for potions? Gestures OK?

Guys, he's not proven legit until Bish shows up announcing it.

Sucker Punch Devs have also utilized touchpad in Infamous Second Son for many things and quite differently.

Yeah they haven't announced anything yet AFAIK.
Whoa... Where did this come from?
And who managed to get the right and left stick mixed up? lol
I can't see a reason why it wouldn't be completely programmable. If you see the examples they have shown for infamous, backlight retribution, AC4 and some dev (can't remember) that claimed they are going to make a hacking min-game using the touchpad, it seems to me that it would definitely be fully programmable for 2 finger input. If the dev wants to split it up into regions or define custom gestures, they should be able to do so.

edit: and the left stick right stick ill placement is just a company blunder

Alright, I'm caught up on thread.
As for touchpad, I don't have a problem with it being utilized in game for certain things. Using as a weapon wheel or quick inventory would work well.
Even as a gameplay mechanic as well. I think KZ:SF has the personal OWL functions mapped to the touchpad if I remember correctly and it seemed fluid.

Wow, this thread is full of wonders.Yeah they haven't announced anything yet AFAIK.
Yes it does use the touchpad. 4 buttons right there that are available as additional input with simple gestures.
Using the snowdrop engine? Does Ubi license their engine to 3rd parties? I think there are so many Swedish devs. Could be anyone.

I've never seen the R3 button refered to as the "RS click" button. That can't be approved by Sony.
Good catch. However, I'm not too sure about your inference.
http://us.playstation.com/ps4/features/techspecs/index.htm?sel=techspecs-dualshock
Even Sony is referring to them as Right stick and Left stick, not R3 and L3. May be RS and LS are the new R3 and L3?
I think it'll happen. It has been climbing real fast the last few hours. I have a feeling that it might even hit $3.5 mill in the last 24 hours.

L3/R3 are the buttons when you click the LS/RS (sticks), unless I've misunderstood my PS3 controllers for years, which is very possible lol.
Edit: That's odd, they do only refer to them as sticks now, weird, wonder what changed.
pharmboy044

Hhmm, I'm surprised they're moving away from the R3 & L3 wording. I guess it might be because they want to make it easier for the end user to remember?
That would be my guess. Seems like a good move to me. I remember scratching my head the first time I read R3. I don't think R3 and L3 were actually ever labeled on the DS3, were they?

someone at bungie does not know their left stick and right stick.
