That's a great feature actually, the most interesting out of the leaks.

Dont agree. Always use X to mark/choice something.

Still wish it could be bound on a per-game basis, but okay!

According to reports from users who got beta version of PS4 2.50 firmware, new Accessibility feature allows full button remapping of DS4! Analogue sticks [edit - nope, they are in] and touchpad are not accessible, but everything else is. Remapping is possible while being in-game.
PS3 lovers can bind "fire gun" button back to R1, I personally sometimes prefer to switch R2/L2 into R1/L1 positions if game asks me to use R2/L2 often [Demon/Angel forms in DmC]. Possibilities are endless.
edit -
Yeah. Mods please add it, although this is 99.9% true
edit2 - Analogue sticks [L and R] are listed, but we don't know what they can be switched into [maybe one into another, or one into DPAD, or maybe OS-wide INVERTING].
Whoa! I feel like cboat :

A great feature for sure bit will there only be one setting allowed or could you for instance create several different ones and keep them saved for quick switching, anyone know? While designed of course for disability access of course many able bodied gamers will use it to customise controls for particular games to their liking. Would be a hassle if its just one setting. Hopefully you can create multiple sets with quick switching between them.

I think I got ahead of myself, I though it would work for remote play also.
For example if I was remote playing resogun, I could swap R2 for square. Therefore making to easier for me to use bombs.
To me it's not about the button its about the placement. X is at the bottom of the diamond layout just like Xbox has always had A at the bottom. It just makes sense

People understand what you mean, but there is no cultural backing to this. That's not what "X" means. You are using "X" in place of check marks, which indicate positive or selection.
X is universally negative and indicates no, wrong, or cancel.
Look at the button you click to close a window.
Look at the cancel button next time you use a credit card machine.
See the above Family Feud example.
X means no. It means no everywhere.
Nintendo?

Yeah that's what I feel too. X is like the default button to me

So 'x marks the spot' actually means, don't look here?
It might not be as universal as you think.
Yep they're trolls lol. Gamecube controller at least had A in the middle
I made a topic 3 years ago. They finally listened. Surprisingly, alot of it has come to fruition. No gifting feature is still super bizarre.

If it's true then they should have several save files for different configurations depending on the game.

maybe analog stick are added so you can customize it to be inverted?

I don't know if it'll be all that useful for me as a staunch L1/R1 shooter. Most PS4 shooters I've played allow you to switch buttons in their own menus, and the only one I can remember that doesn't (MGS Ground Zeroes) would then having me accelerating and braking in vehicles with L1 and R1, which I wouldn't want. I'm not going to go redoing my settings between every game I play, either.
Still a fantastic feature, though.

Just bought an Asian PS4 and the X/O buttons inverted functions are annoying. This will come in handy!

This would be crazy if it happens. I wish they let us select what happens on rest mode like on the PS3
Thank you. Typing it now.
Yep, fantastic news!

Name one example other than cartography where this is true.

I would be more excited if they announced you could turn off the damn light bar honestly.

I'm confused on this:
The system can now enter rest mode without closing any applications. You can adjust this setting in [Power Save Settings] > [Set Functions Available in Rest Mode].
Is this "suspend/resume" without calling it that? Or is this something different?

I wonder if this is just the OS handling the remapping, or if there's something better happening.
When a game prompts you to push button O, will the icon will still show as O in the game, and you'll have to remember you mapped it to X? It would be great if all button prompts in games would automatically update based on what you remapped, and really hope that's what this does or else it will be a bit confusing.
Yes, it's Suspend/Resume functionality.

Nice, thanks. Your Typing Skills are respected. 80 Words Per Minute I would assume?
In all seriousness, thanks for doing this.
An understatement at its finest.
The amount of times I wanted to remap those rear touch controls....
Uh, they've been doing A to confirm since the SNES days.
I'm all for preferring X for confirm instead of O, but some games are awfully coded. This is why a system level configuration would be awesome and I hope it's not just a rumor.
Example: See some Tales of games, where it has a button config. Cool, I can put it the JPN way where I prefer Attack on O, and Artes on X. But then for menus, it uses your region, so it ends up being X = confirm, O = cancel.
