thats pretty neat if true

 

[Harlock]

Can be a different map for each game?

 

[Bright-Light]

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

Would be really cool if they could link it to your save file, or you could name your settings so it's an easy swap. But I think that's a little too hopeful. Sony like to take things slow.

 

[DangerMouse]

Holy shit, always see people wanting this, great addition.

I might use it too for some of my imported Japanese games as others have mentioned.

 

[Occam]

Fantastic! O for confirming and X for cancelling like in Asia makes so much more sense. I've been hoping for this for years.

It was a mistake that Sony switched X and O in the west.

 

[tribal24]

You know this would go perfect for fight sticks with different button configs.

 

[Skux]

This is also great for people with disabilities who might have trouble pressing or reaching particular buttons.

What would make this amazing, is if you could have a custom profile for each particular game.

damn, good point

 

[MaximumSpider]

Hope it's like with the Vita where you hold the home button and then adjust the controls from a settings menu. That way each game can have its own button setup.

 

[xzeldax3]

This is MEGATON!!! It should have been a normal thing for consoles since last gen, honestly.

 

[DieH@rd]

What will happen with button layouts? Will the icons change to your custom map? If not it can be very confusing in many games.

If the games use some OS API for managing button calls[even for stylized icons] then even with changed sheme, everything should work fine.

 

[pastrami]

I'd like to know this as well. Is it on a per-game basis, or a universal setting? Per-game would be perfect, universal would be annoying.

Another poster said this was the actual reason for the feature, which makes it that much more awesome.

Edit: It was Goodacre0081

 

[Primethius]

If I can remove sprint from R3, this will be the BEST FUCKING FEATURE EVER!

 

[fertygo]

I want ability to mapping left analog to right analog :/

Its always my my dream since I'm just one-handed, always love using that feature on emulator.

Not gonna happen I guess.

 

[Josh7289]

I wonder if button prompts in games will automatically adjust to whatever button assignment changes one makes.

This!
Although I'm not sure what will happen with games that already use this...
I would hate to see Japanese imports all of a sudden require X to confirm. :-/

 

[Skux]

If the games use some OS API for managing button calls[even for stylized icons] then even with changed sheme, everything should work fine.

So this could even work with a game like The Order and change all the QTE and on-screen prompts and tutorials?

 

[Bsigg12]

Pretty neat if it's true. I'm not one to really care about button mapping too much but this is cool regardless.

 

[DieH@rd]

So this could even work with a game like The Order and change all the QTE and on-screen prompts and tutorials?

Obviously... this is unknown. We only have changelog sentence and one picture.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I assume it's the main reason because its lumped in with the zoom feature.

[Accessibility] has been added to [Settings]. You can adjust accessibility settings such as zooming and button assignments.

 

[petethepanda]

Nice, I'll be switching X/O to play Metal Gear as God intended.

Huh? You mean switching sticks?

Because you can.......

 

[Ran rp]

WOW. Was not expecting to ever see this.

 

[plainr_]

Holy shit this is huge.

 

[Wiggy]

Awesome feature! Its always annoying when games dont let you.

I wonder if this will annoy any devs. I assumed sometimes they want it to be difficult to do certain things, like jumping whilst shooting or whatever.

 

[spwolf]

i dont really see myself using it often, but it seems like a nice feature for all those people who complained about controls before.

 

[Angelus Errare]

In game prompts will remain unchanged though.

 

[Shahed]

This sounds awesome. I hate that games don't offer button remapping, and now they kind of don't need to. A couple of caveats though.

Firstly it shouldn't be a console wide setting. It should be user specific. Kind of like how each user has their own setting for controller volume and LED brightness

Secondly you should be able to have multiple settings. Certain button remaps will only make sense for certain games. So there should be a way to switch from Set 1, to Default then Set 2 and so forth. Heck even do it automatically when playing that game like how you can choose which games upload their save files to PS+

 

[Soren01]

All I need is share .png screens

 

[Schryver]

Sony going for the jugular

 

[Konosuke]

This should be applauded. Well done.

 

[Earthanoid]

If this is per game, awesome. If not, I can see myself just getting confused and never using it. Remapping buttons is the first thing I do whenever I start a new PC game.

 

[kvn]

Sweating balls.

 

[FyreWulff]

Would be cool if you could force Legacy Sticks in games that forget to have them

This is pretty nice all around and maybe it'll push Nintendo and MS to also put it system-wide.

 

[Occam]

This!

That's not a problem, because a game's code doesn't say X or O, it says something like [confirm button], and then checks where the console is from. It's been that way at least since PS3.

 

[Audioboxer]

Sweating balls.

Balls sweating.

 

[gruenel]

I'll definitely use this for remote play in some games.

 

[jjonez18]

Great feature! v2.50 bringing in the heavy hitters.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

It's funny...

This is almost something you would have expected consoles to have done a long time ago.

Awesome nonetheless!!

 

[David___]

Pls have the OS keep track of how many total hours I play a game for now

 

[2spooky4me]

 

[Slayven]

Is just universal or per game?

 

[Reule]

I won't take advantage of this but wow, that's pretty awesome. Going to be great for many people for many different reasons.

 

[Amentallica]

B-but... WHY!?

This is a problem for you? The fuck?

 

[BronsonLee]

Is just universal or per game?

Seems like it's both

 

[Goodacre0081]

this correct?

 

[LiK]

this correct?

yes

 

[Darksol]

This is amazing.

Now give me DLNA.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

I won't take advantage of this but wow, that's pretty awesome. Going to be great for many people for many different reasons.

Yeah I'll probably never use this feature myself, but if it helps improve the way disabled people play games then I'm pretty happy about that.
