Thank you Resistance 2 for Giving Me Customizable Controls!

     I have had the pleasure of playing the Resistance 2 Beta, and it looks like a very solid game.  I had one major issue.  When I play, I always seem to depress the R3 and L3 buttons by mistake.  I have someone lined up for the kill, and I accidently melee attack when the opponent is 40 feet away!  Of coarse then I die.
    
     Imagine my suprise when I went into the control setup, and OMG they allow me to customize the layout anyway I want to!! I can now play much better, thank you.  Why does not EVERY game allow customizable controls? Why is it the exception instead of the rule?  It can't be that hard to program in.  PS1 games allowed it for crying out loud.  If the consoles want to get the PC gamers, this is a MUST!

     Why should players have to get accustomed to some layout the developers think is good?  I dont want X to be jump, thanks very much.
   
      I had this issue with the original Socom, and I had to sell the game because I could not play it without killing myself by accidently depressing the L3 and R3 buttons.  Thank you Insominiac for putting this in the game, and for the developers, please include this feature in your games.  Thanks for listening.

yeah man. insomniac's a great developer. even resistance 1 had this feature. i agree that more developers need to implement this feature. nowadays developers get greedy and do as little work as possible while meeting benchmarks and requesting extra money for labor.

mikeslemonade6419d ago

Hell yea i did that in Resistance 1 too. I totally forgot about it. I want to change it so that i can jump/shoot/aim at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

byeGollum6420d ago

i know this has nothing to do with resistance 2 but .. im lovin biohock right now .. but i wish i could chnage the controls to R1 & L1 for shooting instead of triggers :(

darkdoom30006419d ago

OMG YES! I hate when games use the Triggers as fire. keep R1 fire, and if its nt fire, allow customisible controls. because my index fingers are usually the ones that shoot, and for bioshock demo, i have to move my fingers down. it feels un-natural.

I'm sorry but I do need to ask this questions as it is bothering me. How do you accidentally press down on the control sticks when you mean to press one of the buttons on TOP of the controller?

baggio10000006420d ago

Thisguywithhair.. The L3 and R3 button are the analog sticks when you press them down. For me, I do it constantly when I am moving around or controlling the camera.

Happens to me all time and is really annoying.

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

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.

Jingsing19d 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.

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

S2Killinit19d ago

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

Jingsing19d 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.

Tanktopmaster9219d 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
