Before you laugh at me decide to ostracize me for what i feel comfortable with, I think analog is really bad for 3d platforming. I do much better with the arrow keys on a keyboard. So how can I take the buttons of a ps2 controller and put them inside of a keyboard case?
You wouldn't be able to do it with an analogue stick because they use rotational gears as far as I am aware.
I would leave analog out because as I've already stated
"I think analog is really bad for 3d platforming"
Do you want each button to be like a keyboard button? Or would you want to modify it so that it only works as a joypad?
On a side note - 3D platforming isn't bad with an analogue stick, it depends on the age and quality of the controller. Cheaper controllers have a lower range of movement than a good controller. This can make precise control awkward, janky and imprecise, and I say this from personal experience having used a cheap game brand controller for my original runs, then moving to a better controller later on. The improvement of having a precise movement range makes controlling things so much smoother.
I want it so that it plugs into the ps2 controller ports and has the same key layout as my emulator.
Also, not everyone thinks the same. I understand how to move better with the keypad than with analog. That's how my brain works. So please don't try to project yourself on me.
I've still yet to see a thread from you that isn't flat-out insane, I think.
Additionally, the quality of analog movement in 3D is not only a controller-by-controller thing, but also a game-by-game thing. Metal Gear Solid has awful controls with analog, and Metal Gear Solid: Integral is much smoother, which directly helped motivate the development and completion of the TAS by Theenglishman.
So maybe do more research and testing before claiming the control scheme the game was made for is objectively bad, idk.
"I've still yet to see a thread from you that isn't flat-out insane, I think."
You haven't seen many of my threads then. Maybe only a couple. So your opinion doesn't really matter. It's cute how you think your opinion holds any weight.
"Additionally, the quality of analog movement in 3D is not only a..."
Let me stop you right there. You just put words in my mouth. I didn't say 3D games. I said 3d Platformers.
"Metal Gear Solid has awful controls with analog"
So MGS is a platformer now. Nice.
"So maybe do more research and testing before claiming the control scheme the game was made for is objectively bad, idk."
When did I ever claim or even hint at analog being objectively bad? I implied it to be a ME thing all throughout.
I bet Yoshipro101 is embarassed to have liked such a vapid and pretentious post.
@Drakodan "I've still yet to see a thread from you that isn't flat-out insane, I think." You haven't seen many of my threads then. Maybe only a couple. So your opinion doesn't really matter. It's cute how you think your opinion holds any weight.
When I just read this bullshit, the once and only thing I can say: You're an real asshole. Literally. On every dumb thread I have seen from you, you ASK people something or even asking them about their opinion, to just later on ignore and blame them for doing so. Are you like a really dumb troll or some shit like that? Jeez
And as you start with shit like this:
"Additionally, the quality of analog movement in 3D is not only a..." Let me stop you right there. You just put words in my mouth. I didn't say 3D games. I said 3d Platformers.
A 3D Platformer is NOT a 3D-Game then huh? yea ... that makes allot more sense now.
"Metal Gear Solid has awful controls with analog" So MGS is a platformer now. Nice.
This was an EXAMPLE. I know you state it as fact and as offense against you instantly, but this is usually used by EVERYONE to help them explaining a face by a certain case. You should maybe google it.
@PreFiXAUT Referring vaguely to threads I've made in the past without actually citing any makes you lose credibility. Not saying you had any in the first place. I suppose you thought you were being smart when you wrote this wall of text clearly fueled by anger.
3D Platformers are 3D Games but not all 3D Games are 3D Platformers. I think that Action RPGs like Kingdom Hearts and Dark Cloud are a lot better with Dualshock. This is why I specified Platformers. Drakodan says 3D Games meaning ALL 3D GAMES. Which is not what I said.You attempt to make a clever argument but fall flat from a lack of understanding and critical thought.
Since this thread has already turned into a shit-show, I figure I'd follow up on my original post.
I said don't try to derail your own thread because you mentioned how I was probably embarrassed over liking a post that you dissected. This has no relevance to any of what you were saying which was perfectly fine up until that point, and seems like an attempt to start a childish argument. My post was more relevant to the question in OP due to it actually answering the question, instead of beating around the bush and being part of a "Look, I can nitpick better than you!" contest. I simply brought up the fact that he should avoid petty comments so we can avoid getting threads full of nothingness like this.
This discussion is over, the question in OP has been answered and the little argument can easily be dealt with via PMs.
You know Battle, I understand your opinion but I disagree. I personally think that analogue is tons easier with 3d plateformers. However if you think otherwise that's fine. I also personally believe that you are a very insane person who seems to ask for peoples opinions and then get angry when they give them, which is why I PERSONALLY don't like you. But hey, that's just my opinion.
But back to the topic at hand.
I can't really see how you would turn analogue into directional movement. I know that if you use a analogue controller and play a game that doesn't support it usually changes to directional. But I can't see how you would physically take the software and re assign it. Now I think PlayStation controllers have a d pad. Maybe you could use that? That's the only possibility I can see. Now I'm not saying it's impossible to do what you're saying, but I've never seen it been done.
