[RUMOUR] PS4 beta firmware 2.50 allows DualShock 4 button remapping
- Thread starter DieH@rd
- Start date
From the looks of it, it'll probably just swap left and right sticks instead of mapping the analog sticks to the d-pad, for example. If you could remap axis there would have to be a lot more analog stick options.

Seriously, fucking kingdom hearts.
My brain went into "fuck you" mode whenever I jumped between systems.

If that's true wowowow. That's a fucking megaton and I'd legit be so happy. Also despite MS updating constantly Sony still brings the best new features. First Share play then PS Now and now this? I prefer the PS features definitely.

Wow, this would be huge if true. Hopefully they'll update the Vita to allow this for Remote Play.

This is pretty fucking awesome.
Probably for L3 and R3

Hopefully game by game.
Some people are saying vita does it game by game, so lets hope....

Now I will be able both sprint, and turns corners in GTAV.
What does r1 do in GTAv? As that is gonna be my new run button.

You can see L3 and R3 separately in there. As mencioned, most likely L and R will only serve to swap the sticks around.

Doubt it since l3 and r3 are already shown there.
I think like some people said, its to switch sticks.

No. It had game defaults (like having your first person shooters always inverted or non-inverted) but it never let you completely customize controls at a system level.

Shit....
Didn't think of that, hopefully the in game prompts are programmed in sync with the Consoles mapping, so it will change with the game.
Apparently they should have saved this for an E3 announcement.
Just one more thing ... button mapping!
So true ... when I switch systems it takes me forever to do anything because I keep cancelling.

Does that additional rest mode stuff mean Suspend and Resume is finally here or is that something else?

Wow, I can't wait to see if this is true.
If Sony does this, that makes the PS4 one of the most power user friendly gaming consoles around.

Ah ok. I knew it had something about controls, but I never really looked into it.

The feature I never thought I needed until it's happening and I'm thinking about all da possibilities.

Thats not gonna happen.
Having said that, I'm not gonna complain about qte's. If it is a price I have to pay for remapping, I'll gladly pay it.
My brain compensates by acknowledging I'm not holding the same controller. Which is also why I can go either way with PS1 controllers (thanks early PS1 Square games and me developing a purist mentality about button placements for awhile! Though now I find that a more pragmatic mentality to not mess things up arbitrarily between regions) but have difficulty using A for cancel and B for accept on EITHER the Nintendo or Microsoft controllers. Tried that a bit with some games that permitted it on 360, and had a lot of trouble wrapping my head around it despite doing essentially just that on Nintendo controllers the whole time. Inversely, when this happens on Nintendo controllers it throws me off really badly.
I can see it happening with newer games and even becoming standard. Not so much with old games if they're not programmed to look for it though.
And this also makes me wish the PS4 really were a magically fully BC console, because imagine being able to do this stuff with many PS1 and even PS2 games.
Current features of fw2.50 present in changelog:
- 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].
- [Accessibility] has been added to [Settings]. You can adjust accessibility settings such as zooming and button assignments.
- Delete trophies with zero percent.
- Search trophy details on the internet, including screenshots of scenes with trophies.
- SharePlay at 60 frames per second.
- Share trophy details and screenshots.
Vita RP cannot access beta 2.50 ps4 consoles, so probably RP will get 60fps support also after new vita firmware.

Bumper jumping for CODAW!
Update list wars? This gen, man...
Anyway, this is a peanut butter and chocolate moment. Should have become a standard on consoles long ago, good job Sony.

I wonder if this will help with some remote play games that don't optimize controls.
It looks like L3 and R3 rather than analogue directional control.
Proper, hah.
The trolling possibilities are endless too lol.
Some ideas:
- remap X and O to overcome Japanese import games using reverse mappings
- switch triggers to R1/L1 for old-schoolers
- swap L3 and R3 if a game has a sprint button that you keep inadvertently pressing
- swap the d-pad and face buttons because why not

I can see the wacky Youtube videos now of people playing PS4 games with their controllers upside down.
