Here's a pic of the controls as they were for the PS4 demo: Some people were curious why L1 was ability and not Throw Grenade. This was because Light Assault need to be able to aim their gun and their flight path without taking their thumb off the right stick. Also here's the touchpad in action: https://vine.co/v/MjlmQQtWLwj This stuff is a work in progress. Nothing here is final and it will definitely undergo change as we move the PS4 version along. For example, making it so the controller can handle all the weapons and gadgets gracefully is something that will need work.
Also I know someone's going to ask about configurable controls, so here's Pawkette's response on the topic: "We'd like to support multiple layouts, but getting our default to be awesome is our first priority."
You know what I'd like to see the touchpad do? Precision aiming. I want my thumb to substitute for a mouse using that touch pad. Use the stick for broader view changes, the pad for more precise adjustments.
Using the touchpad is good for gestures, but not as good for doing something precise. It's like using a laptop touchpad, which isn't fun for aiming at all.
Just what is the touchpad sensitive to? Could holding your finger on any given corner of the pad open up voice channels?
Lol, you know what is highly ironic- I use a Better DS3 with a PS3 controller to use it to FLy in game for piloting Galaxies and liberators- and i dont really use it for infantry- but this is the EXACT same set up- no differences it's the Call of Duty control config , lol - and it actually is a very solid one indeed
how to make comms work with very of the controller used up. when your holding the button (what ever button you designate) the platoon can hear you. right after you release and for 5 secs after word only the squad can here you. so tap button for squad hold for platoon if only in squad you hold for as long as you want or tap your choice
Difference between the DS4 touchpad and a laptop touch pad is that often the laptop touch pad is the ONLY option (unless One has a mouse, defeating the pad's purpose entirely,) and it's awkward to get a thumb on the latter, but I guess I have to trust you've at least tried (with multiple people, a single man's opinion is nigh worthless.) On the plus side, as long as scope sway is still in, I imagine the number of effective snipers in game to be reduced by 95%!
Hey, hey, woah. I've used my laptop's touchpad since I started and it has been kind enough to me. I tried a mouse the other day... the horror .
