Although the Xbox 360 controller has become the standard, not everyone uses it, meaning that some of us have to resort to different methods to play modern games, ranging from emulating Xinput to using KB/M emulators. And while most of the times that's totally functional, we still see Xbox button prompts (or keyboard keys) on each game's HUD.
What about those people who use Playstation controllers? or those controllers with numbered buttons? Enter Phantasy Star Online 2 with its highly customizable options, not only for mapping buttons that fit your preferences, but also for displaying the corresponding button symbols.
You can configure which do you want to see in the options:
All 4 different button symbols side by side:
The downside to this is that you have to go into a menu and set which button set you want the game to use, and it doesn't switch between keyboard/gamepad buttons display like most other games.
But the feature that's a godsend, is this following screen:
Basically it means that you won't end with mismatching buttons, I use an old PS2 to USB adapter and most games think Triangle is Cross, Circle is Square, etc. But in PSO2 you can tell the game which button corresponds to which symbol.
With the PS4 controller confirmed working with PCs out of the box and with the PC version of Arkham Origins showing Playstation symbols, there is hope that this becomes more common. Thoughts?
