Out of curiosity, I wonder how many people actually adjust the controller settings when given the option.
I almost always keep the game’s default controls, even when they aren’t initially intuitive. I’m not sure why I don’t customize. I guess I figure I want to experience the game the way the developer intended…? Or perhaps I’m just too lazy.
The thought occurred to me because after recently playing a few action games that use face buttons for attacks, I know I’m going to have to rewire my brain back to using the triggers for attacks whenever I go back to a FromSoft game.
Do you remap your controller inputs?

@Th3solution Only when needed, something like if I feel like the aiming feels too loose or sluggish.
Nothing to do with control settings, but I recently found out what a game changer fiddling with FOV can be, when I recently played a racing game. I forgotten to check on games I've played since though! 😆
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Hurrah! I’ve been waiting ages, but it looks like Oceanhorn 2 is finally coming to PlayStation at some point!
I know most people won’t care, but I’ve been wanting to play this quite a lot! I even put off buying it on Switch because I wanted to play the best version.
@get2sammyb The Testament of Sherlock Holmes is randomly now on PS4 which I don’t think I’ve seen reported. Just a heads up, there’s a few of us here that like those games!
@TabulaRasa
I love my PS5 and hope it will last for years to come. However if I was thinking of getting one right now I would probably at least wait until the new ones specs are announced so I could make an informed decision on whether to get the base one of the new model. It's hard to say without knowing exactly what it is.

Realising I really don't like the Dualsense all that much. The thing just feels so bulky and weighty in my hands...and while the adaptive triggers and advanced rumble were cool to start with, I personally could live without them. I still think the Dualshock 4 is the best controller Sony have ever made, and is by far the best fit for my hands.
Any suggestions for alternative controllers to the Dualsense for PS5? I realise that there don't seem to be many options. Anything that replicates the Dualshock 4, Xbox controller or Switch Pro Controller would be excellent.
@Buizel I agree with you on the comfort factor. DualSense just doesn’t feel as good in the hands as the DS4. I do like the features though of haptics and triggers.
I’m not familiar with any alternative controllers that work with PS5 games. Of course you can use your DS4 with your PS5 if you’re playing a PS4 game on it.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@Th3solution I unfortunately got rid of all my PS4 accessories alongside the PS4 when I got my PS5, with the idea that backwards compatibility would be fully sufficient. But I do wonder if it's worth picking up a new DS4 simply for my PS4 games though, especially since I've built up quite a library of those.
It's a shame that there's no forward compatibility for the DS4. It's not surprising, as I don't think Sony has ever had a forwards-compatible controller, but it does feel like outside of encouraging you to buy their new controller with haptics, it's quite arbitrarily incompatible with PS5 games.
@Th3solution@Buizel for me it's the opposite
I borrowed a DS4 as a backup for a fighting game tournament recently, after not using one for almost 3 years and while I had no problems getting used to it (I wasn't dropping any inputs or anything), it just didn't feel as good in hands as the DualSense.
Might depend on one's hand size, maybe.
Well I've got to say that I really enjoyed that state of play, its the first time in a while where I think Sony a lot right.
First Spiderman 2 looks absolutely brilliant, the first one was great and this one looks to build on that, the extra space on the map was really needed as not to feel to similar to 1 and Miles Morales. The fact that we can seamlessly swap between both heros seems like it will be brilliant and I also really love the villains they've chose to go with. Not sure much on the story front but believe insomniac always do a good job so not worried on that front, I was always looking at Spiderman 2 as a game that I would play but not one I was really excited for but I'm definitely looking forward to it more now.
Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty(not exclusive) looks great another reason to jump back into Cyberpunk and honestly I don't see me having a problem with even starting again from scratch with an entire new playthrough, so yeah can't wait for this one.
HellDivers 2(not exclusive) this one took me by surprise, not knowing much about the first one I didn't expect to think anything of it but with the right people to play it with it looks like it could be great fun if there's not alot of bugs! No pun intended.
Intrigued to say the least it gives me gears/outrider vibes so will definitely look into it more.
Final Fantasy Rebirth. As someone who really enjoyed the Remake(nostalgic goggles taking off), by my second playthrough I confirmed I actually preferred it to the original (queue the gasps and moans). I am now really really looking forward to Rebirth, looks amazing and looks like their keeping to how Remake played. Slightly worried about the so called 100 hours as I don't see the need for lots of filler but we'll see how it works.
So yeah overall for me personally alot to look forward to!
@MaulTsir Agree a lot with your thoughts. I didn’t watch the SoP live, but after watching the trailers and promos I am more pumped about Spidey 2, such that I might play at launch, which wasn’t the original plan. We’ll see.
And Helldivers 2 looks quite good, but the reliance on multiplayer will probably kill it for me. I could see it being great fun for a group of buddies though. I wonder if it will be free-to-play. I’ve been assuming it is a ‘for purchase’ game, maybe not $70, could have a lower entry point like $40, but it looks really well made. I have to admit though, I got Avengers game vibes from the footage. 😅 The way you pull up a map from a central hub and choose a quest looks very similar. I’m know many games probably use that mechanic but the only one I’ve played is Avengers and that online MP co-op was the worst part of the game, for sure. And I’ve never played Destiny 2, but Helldivers 2 also seems very similar to that, based on that gameplay.
And like @Kidfried says, FF7 Rebirth looks like exactly what it needs to be — more of what Remake was gameplay-wise (probably the best part of the game) along with introduction of the new party members and areas to make it feel new. The story will be the wild card there. That’s the part that makes me nervous.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
I didn't watch it live, but I have to automatically take points off just for the fact that Sony really needs to have a proper 1st party one but they continued to not do that. I don't mean to be a downer, but I was less happy with it given the fact that even the good things were of games we already knew about and mostly have seen before.
Given how much I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, a new trailer and a release date for it automatically keeps this from a total failure though. I didn't bother watching the new Spider-Man 2 trailer as I don't need to see anything else as I've had it pre-ordered for months. Same goes for Phantom Liberty, although I may go back and watch that trailer at some point. I have no interest in Helldivers 2 since I don't play any multiplayer games anymore. The continued lack of Stellar Blade was also a major bummer as there's no reason why it wasn't a part of this show, and it's extremely weird that all we've gotten from it this year was a trailer that announced it's title change. It even got added to the PS Store's database right before their "E3" show earlier this year, which I noticed from the news section of the PS5 Home screen at the time, but now it's been strangely absent from both shows.
Was Push Square just wrong when they reported that it was a 3rd party and indie presentation? Kind of weird to have 2 first party titles at a show that wasn't supposed to have them. Not really a criticism there. Just an oddity.

@Kidfried console exclusive but it's also coming out on steam.
I agree with you on Sqaure Enix, they have dropped a ball on a few recent games like Babylon but overall in the last 10 to 15 years they've been one of in not the most solid publisher.
@Th3solution Spiderman 2 does look really good! I'm not sure I'll be a day one player but it's first sale around Christmas will probably convince me.
Yeah the biggest problem with HD2 will be finding 3 other like minded people to constantly play with. Probably be the games downfall as it won't have a massive player base. I think in terms of being like Avengers and Destiny alot of these multiplayer co op looters shooters tend to follow the same basic model. Not a bad thing though.
And yes FF rebirth has me excited. I get what you mean about the story and I know alot of people where disappointed or in complete up roar with the way the remake sort of handled the story but I personally liked it.
@KilloWertz I can understand your disappointment in the SOP, I said at the begging of my post that for me it was a good show personally because the 4 games I mentioned appealed to me and its been a while since Sony did one where there was multiple stuff for me to get excited about.
Even the Tales Of Arise DLC which seems abit odd because its been 2 years since it released I believe, was a decent surprise as I enjoyed the game.
I think Sony them selves said it was a indie/third party SOP but mabye they wanted to try and "surprise" people with the FF rebirth trailer so they could end it on a high.
