MEGATON! Also "Fuck You" to whoever thought using L3 for running is a good idea.

Haha, ain't that the truth.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

thats pretty neat if true

Indeed it is.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

If you change the button configuration for any game, then this is easily the best feature thus far. Every game should have a default control configuration and a custom one. Now, I can finally switch the L3 button which makes the character run in a lot of games to R3 so I don't run half the time when I don't want to.

On a related note, in that picture that says button configuration, it says "zooming" before it. Anyone know what this will do? Any chance it zooms in the screen to eliminate the black bars in games?

 

[PodcastFips]

I am guessing it will just register as no force or full force.

So for racing games you'd have no acceleration control.

Possiibly, though I have a feeling devs can choose to block button remapping just like they can do with recording certain pieces of a game.

Since this is an accessibility option I don't think Sony will allow that.

Would be like blocking off a wheelchair entrance to a building because you don't want people using it.

Nice! Great idea.

typically, Accessibility options means users with disabilities will have a better experience. I assume the zoom function will only work on the XMB and browser.

So. Much.TRUTH!!!. I'm glad people have more options now, especially those with disabilities.

 

[Foxix Von]

Holy crap. Sign me up. I'm switching X and O asap.

 

[autoduelist]

Awesome for remote play and... well, everything. This should have been standard since ps2 at least.

 

[Muzicfreq]

O and X remapping now?

For reals!?

This will throw me off for a while but it makes the most sense.

 

[Raonak]

Gigaton.

man, 2.5 seems like a great update, suspend resume, remapping, delete trophies, 60fps, and being able to search up trophy details directly :O

 

[Risette]

i wonder if there'll be any way to disable the touchpad. forced touchpad features (like in gta5) are really annoying since i have to use one hand and i accidentally hit them a lot.

 

[PodcastFips]

I see. Makes sense.

In that case, the real megaton would be mapping a button to a certain touchpad gesture that you can configure yourself, like drawing your secondary weapon by swiping up instead of triangle. As an example.

 

[Elfstruck]

Yesssss....I can play imported games easier now!

 

[erpg]

Please bring this to the Vita - I'll finally be able to import!

 

[Bold One]

We PC now?


We PC now.

 

[Astral/H3X]

Now put it on Vita where I'll be able to use it.

I just want O for accept.

 

[MavFan619]

Pretty cool. Now it just needs some way to have per-game mappings that load up whenever you enter a specific game.

If it's not included with this I would hope you can press options over each individual game in the main menu and let you configure from there.

 

[genjiZERO]

O as the select button was always the best.

 

[KePoW]

I'm an Xbox fan, but this is a good idea

 

[Sol_Goodguy]

This would be absolutely amazing!

The thought of being able to control the camera while sprinting in Bloodborne (without using an uncomfortable/painful claw grip) excites me. I think I'll get a lot of use out of this.

 

[fsckit]

Current features of fw2.50 present in changelog:

• The system can now enter rest mode without closing any applications.

Is it just me or doesn't this sound pretty similar to Suspend & Resume functionality? Rest mode without closing any applications...

Also 2.50 is a pretty major version number jump from the current release.

 

[Yaser Tech]

Been using suspend on Xbox one and it's so so good! can't wait to do the same on ps4

 

[GnawtyDog]

I'm an Xbox fan, but this is a good idea

It's OK if you think so....

 

[EdReedFan20]

That is Suspend & Resume.

 

[fsckit]

That is Suspend & Resume.

Ok. That's what I thought but with all of the gnashing of teeth about suspend and resume on gaf it's odd to see everyone talking about accessibility.

 

[cripterion]

OMG, does this mean I can I finally remap my confirm button O on my japanese PS4 to X?!
Actually scrapped that, got some used to validating with O I'll just modify every game to use it. Same for Euro PS3 lol since It's just there for Ryu Ga Gotoku games.

There's a thread for suspend/resume: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1005451

 

[Zeyphersan]

What astounds me is that the technology to do this would have existed since the PS1 days. That's 20 years of people wishing they could remap buttons at the OS level.

I don't think consoles had OS's running in the background until the PS3/360 era

[Cheat Code]

I don't know if it's confirmed yet, but even if it is fake I'm pretty sure Sony have seen that this would be a pretty welcome feature.

 

[Soren01]

Dont get the X > O thing.I'd missed something?

And about QTEs with remapped buttons?

 

[Nameless]

You'll never hear me say more options is a bad thing, but I can't see myself using this outside of the rare event a game I buy has a shitty control scheme that can't be rectified via in game settings. Definitely nowhere near a Megaton or a Game Changer for me personally. Still pretty cool.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

okay..

 

[McFadge]

Japanese games use O for confirm and X for cancel

 

[Jawmuncher]

Missed the other thread
Assign button is nice.

 

[Drencrom]

Woah, this would be an amazing feature...

okay..

B-but... WHY!?

All you people asking "why?" etc, this is the reason why its truly needed.

as a disabled gamer this feature is awesome and i'm really happy it's coming

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Japanese games use O for confirm and X for cancel

And on DVD/Blu ray playback on NA systems, O is pause this generation. Which throws me off every time I watch a movie, it was X on the PS3. I don't know if this will fix that, but it'd be nice.

 

[lil]

So. Much.TRUTH!!!. I'm glad people have more options now, especially those with disabilities.

^^^^^ This could be HUGE. HOLY CRAP. I never thought I'd see this happen.

 

[Brohan]

Wow this is an amazing feature! Good job Sony.

 

[rokkerkory]

great stuff

 

[KePoW]

Japanese games use O for confirm and X for cancel

I still don't understand why they do that, it's very stupid and backwards

 

[spliced]

I'm 50% Yes!
I'm 50% Well it's about bloody time what took so long.

Hopefully this becomes the new normal.

 

[Macheezmo]

Wow. I didn't even know I needed this feature, but holy crap I need it! Well done Sony! Will be even bigger if you can set these on a per game basis.

 

[jts]

This is great.

What I really want though, is to be able to use the Vita as a screen, and the DS4 as a controller. Even if it's just within PS4's range (meaning the DS4 directly connected to the PS4).

 

[xxracerxx]

I still don't understand why they do that, it's very stupid and backwards

No, we are backwards. An X usually means NO in general, but on consoles here in NA it means YES.
