A few minutes ago, Chuck Bittner (aka AskACapper) posted an image on Twitter. It was an email from Jeep Barnett of Valve confirming that custom button remapping will be added to Portal 2.

Why the hell doesn't this guy just play PC games? You can use whatever button maps or input devices you want...

It's for disabled gamers

*massive facepalm*

Kreyg5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

Why should he be forced to play PC games is the real question. Sure you can remap to anything you want, but when you read through the comments on Chuck's petition, you realize it's a feature almost 80,000 people have said they want on consoles. Hell, you'd think that after all these years, it's a feature you'd see on console games.

*Why the hell doesn't this guy just play PC games?*

Maybe he dosen't have the time or money to build one and how about showing some respect for disabled gamers.

Pandamobile5441d ago

How am I disrespecting the guy? Common sense would dictate that given his situation, he'd want to be able to play games in a way that suits him.

If he wants controller remapping and an invertible Y axis, all he has to do is go into the settings for just about any computer game and change them to suit his needs.

Urrakia345441d ago

I fail to see how Panda disrespected him. Stop getting your panties in a bunch.

BattleAxe5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

Give it a rest Panda, people like you are relentless in telling people what platform they must play their games on. Yeah the PC is great, but not everyone wants to game on the PC. You're happy when Valve heavily supports their games on PC, but when they support the console version you hate it....get over it.

On a positive note, good on Valve for supporting their game as well as they are.

Ser5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

What if he just doesn't want to? I wouldn't want to.

He shouldn't have to pick a certain platform just because he's disabled. That's stupid.

Edit: I agree, which is my more developers need to open their eyes to this sort of thing. Still, he shouldn't be forced to game on a PC just because of his disability. What if he wanted to play a game like Uncharted 3? More developers should start supporting this type of thing.

Pandamobile5441d ago

He shouldn't be forced to play games without unmappable controls, either.

That's stupid.

Ser5441d ago

Spelling correction: "which is *why*"

Adexus5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

If you've seen him play games then you'll know he has his controller right up to his face and he uses his chin to move the right analog stick, now it might just be me but it might be a little bit trickier for him to play with a keyboard and mouse...

Pandamobile5441d ago (Edited 5441d ago )

WOW. DID YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN USE A CONTROLLER ON A PC TOO?

Seriously, you guys, do some research.

Ocelot5255441d ago

"Seriously, you guys, do some research."

like you should do about half life 2 HDR effects on the console and PC

Wow congratulations Chuck, good to see developers like Valve listening.

Lord_Sloth5441d ago

This is a feature I really want in my games. I don't know why so many devs are neglecting this feature now. It used to be pretty common.

FAGOL5441d ago

Anyone know or have an idea why console games don't have custom button remapping? Because I can't think of any.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio42d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing41d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9242d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit41d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing41d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9241d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
