ChillyPhilly Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I haven't seen a thread on the forum for this specific purpose, of this particular topic, so I figured maybe I should start it. I hope you don't mind. So I ask, whomever reads this, what would the controls of GTA IV be? What would you want them to be? PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 or... PC? For on-foot sections, I would like to see a system similar to The Warriors. The controls here apply L2 was sprint, left stick movement, Square and X were combination and heavy attacks respectively. Triangle would allow you to pick up a weapon off the ground as well as perform actions such as tagging. While running, pressing Triangle would make your character jump and doing so while running towards a fence or short building etc. would make him jump over it or scale it. L1 was to target. This brings me to say that I would prefer either the same configuration, or very similar. The controls likely are remappable, as was the case in the pervious titles, but you know, sometimes it's good to play with the default. Your ideas?

scarface910 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Im assuming they would stay with the same basic controls, with a minimal changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazifool Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Rockstar have always worked out a good layout for their controllor configuatioration (Spelling?) I'm they will find a good layout again...I just hope LT and RT are used for Speed, Braking and Reverse...while RB and LB are used for Shooting...

ceedot Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think the will be used for car acceleration and braking. for driveby's. All next-gen games use them, as the are touch sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCM Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 as the are touch sensitive. Oh, cool. Be able to have a smooth ride now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylovesGTA Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't now what are you talking about since I've only played GTA on PC and Xbox. (GTA III & Vice city on PC; SA on Xbox) the controls on 360 should be like they were in SA on Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTASIX Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think the triggers will be to accelerate because they can be put to different pressures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceedot Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I think the triggers will be to accelerate because they can be put to different pressures. Just like I said in my previous post I don't think the xbox controls would be like the IV controls on 360. Didn't they change the controller a bit? Those white and black buttons pissed me off when I had an xbox. Is there anything better replacing them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilya Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yeah, definitely L2/R2 for acceleration and braking. ~~~ Really, the only button I'm interested in is the one that's related to a sliver of info we got a while back. For example, they apparently said we can now throw people off of buildings. For that, it'd make sense that we can grab people, and one could argue that grappling will now be in our fighting repertoire. Maybe we could grab somebody, and either slap them around or throw them. And when we just happen to be next to a ledge, it takes them a good bit before they get in touch with the ground, in a very intense way. And if they're close enough, they can grab onto the ledge, hang on, and maybe beg for their life. Then we can stomp their fingers like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylovesGTA Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Those white and black buttons pissed me off when I had an xbox. Is there anything better replacing them? there aren't any black and white, there are L; R type buttons above the triggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceedot Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I'm not sure about 'grabing' people, but that would be good. All we know is we can push people out of our way when running. There was a hint of 'throwing people off buildings', so I guess we could grab people. there aren't any black and white, there are L; R type buttons above the triggers. So like L1 L2, and R1 R2.

I was afraid you were going to say, "OMFG, this not 'wrestling' and Niko will NOT have the option to buy spandex thongs at Binco!" But they could K.I.S.S. and all would be well. I'd love to grab somebody, and as they squirm about, I'd give them a good smack or two, and if we were on a building, I'd throw them off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouveia Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 A combination of controls. What I would like is the basic car controls from VC/GTA3, the character controls from SA, the aiming controls from SA and the combat control from VCS.

seriouslycrazy Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Well they're pretty much identical as regards layout... Correct me if i'm wrong but the only differences are that the PS3 controller has analogue buttons (as in square circle x triangle) whereas the 360 buttons are not. And obviously SIXAXIS too... But if i were to hazard a guess i'd say the layout would be identical for each format, and probably copy that of San Andreas on the Xbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
