The button layout on PS3

[ahetFIN]

What do you think the button layouts will be on PlayStation 3? And what do you hope it is like? There are many new features that will require some buttons for them, but many of the older useful features are on their spots.

 

This is how I expect the foot controls to be on PS3:

 

Right stick - Look around, aim

Left stick - Move around

Dpad up - bring out phone, select a character

Dpad down - zoom out the map, select a character

Dpad left - select a character, previous weapon

Dpad right - select a character, next weapon

Select - tap: change view, hold: bring out character selection

Start - Pause menu

X - Spring

Circle - Reload

Triangle - Enter vehicle

Square - Jump

R1 - Use cover

R2 - Shoot

R3 - Tap: special ability

L1 - Single tap: holster weapon, hold: weapon wheel

L2 - Bring out weapon, Aim down the sights

L3 - Tap: crounch, hold: Prone?

 

On this layout there's no place for quickly looking behind (R3 on previous GTAs)

 

Any thoughts?

R2 - Accelerate

L2 - Brake/reverse

R1 - Handbrake

L1 - Aim weapon

R1 with L1 held - Fire weapon (This is actually realistic. Try pulling the handbrake, turning a steering wheel and firing a submachine gun out of your window at the same time. Unless you're that blue guy from Futurama, which hopefully you aren't. Because that would be bad.)

Select - Open character wheel

Up (tap) - Bring up phone

Up (hold) - Taunt

Left/right - Change radio station

Down (tap) - Zoom out minimap, display street name, vehicle you're inside, generally the same as IV

Down (hold) - Operate retractable roof (only applies to certain vehicles)

L3 - Horn/Sirens and emergency lighting

R3 - Look behind

Square (tap) - Change weapon

Square (hold) - Switch between dimmed/full beam

X - Activate special

Circle - Nitrous

Triangle - Exit vehicle

Triangle (hold) - Switch on/off engine

They said in one of the previews that the d-pad was for switching characters, so it might mean that we'll be getting the weapon wheel from RDR.

The controller layout will probably be similar to GTA IV's controller layout combined with that of Red Dead Redemption. The below is my guess for GTA V's controller layout assuming there will be a "Classic Controller" option as there was in GTA IV.

 

Left-stick: Movement

Right-stick: Move camera, select weapon (with weapon wheel brought up), use hydraulics (when in the appropriate vehicle), Zoom in/out.

 

Select: Change camera viewpoint.

Start: Pause/Main Menu.

D-pad down: Bring up map for character selection (tap), access multiplayer (hold), (tap, while aiming) switch between combat strafe and combat run/jog

D-pad left: Select prev. character (on foot), change radio stations (in vehicle), (tap, While aiming) left shoulder aim.

D-pad right: Select next character (on foot), change radio stations (in vehicle), (tap, While aiming) right shoulder aim.

 

X: Accelerate (in vehicle), Sprint (tap, on foot), run/jog (hold, on foot), dive (hold, in water), confirm purchases.

Square: Jump/Climb (on foot), Apply main brake (in vehicle)

Circle: Respond to pedestrian comments/flip off pedestrians (tap), focus on important events, reload weapon (tap, with weapon drawn), activate special (hold)

Triangle: Enter/exit vehicle.

 

R1: Enter/exit cover / combat roll (tap, while aiming weapon), view summary of stats (on foot), block (Melee), (in vehicle) apply handbrake, open parachute (tap, while in free-fall)

R2: (While aiming/in vehicle) Fire weapon, Melee Attack

R3: Look Behind (hold), Activate Vehicle-based Missions (tap, in appropriate vehicle)

L1: Holster/Draw weapon (tap), bring up weapon wheel (hold), (in vehicle/while aiming, tap) lob grenade/explosive weapon.

L1/R1 shooting and L2/R2 driving, or I am using classic controls.

[Fraizer]

Not a control scheme, but having these bad boys on my Dualshock 3 triggers always made it easier/better.

 

 

They are not that expensive either, $5.00 (USD). and you can find them at Gamestop, Target, best buy etc.
