Which makes more sense?

>>375801421
Neither. They're just arbitrary named and colored buttons.

>>375801421
>o - x

Letters + colors.


Also that PS4 controlelr is wrong.

>>375801421
I'm not gonna answer your retarded fucking question, OP.
I will, however, ask: Why did the nips see it fit to swap the roles of X and O on consoles outside of Japan? Makes 0 sense. It doesn't matter, but it's always been a bit peculiar to me.

O = confirm
X = back

Why switch it???

>>375801421
wtf is this shit

Whichever floats your boat, my friend.

>>375801421
PS one. They follow a shapes theme. The letters one don't even make sense. What happened to c and d?

>>375801958
Well originally it was X and Δ. They didn't fully switch to X and O until the PS3, and they switched to that because it matched the Xbox.

Anyone got that image where it's all X buttons including the dpad?

>>375801526
First two and last two letters of the alphabet corresponding with buttons of first and last importance in a game isn't arbitrary.

the x and the o are backwards?

Polygons are universal, letters are language specific. Therefore letters are not universally accessible and wrong. Once again Polygon rules supreme!

>>375801958
I'm not sure the japs really had much to do with deciding on that change themselves, but I've heard that it might have had something to do with the colors.
Circle was red, whereas X was blue, and my guess is that they someone decided that the west would associate blue with confirmation more than a red O (which could be evocative of a wrong answer being circled on a test), or something.

>>375802037
Hold the fuck up.
>Well originally it was X and Δ
That makes even LESS sense to me.

>>375802296
Shapes clearly aren't universal since they can't even decide on the confirm and cancel buttons.

>>375802316
I guess that would make sense... who knows, man. Again, it's pretty arbitrary but it's still super weird to me.

>>375801526
FPBP

I feel very strongly that X should be on the left

>>375802469
It's true. Shit my brain is still hardwired to recognize X and Triangle as the default OK/Cancel setup on American PS games.

>>375801421
O = 1 line
X = 2 lines
▲ = 3 lines
■ = 4 lines

So technically, the PS one makes more sense (unless you use the mathematical definition of a circle which is a collection of all the points equidistant from a single point).

The halo 1 controls will forever be integrated in my brain. Call me a casual faggot I don't care those controls were so good. Every button perfect.

Y RELOAD
B MELEE
A JUMP
X SWITCH WEAPONS

>>375802653
Okay either I'm fucking retarded or whatever but I CANNOT remember playing a single PS gam e that used fucking Triangle as cancel????

>>375802212
A cross and a circle are both symbols that are used in every single language.

Wait a second, are you telling me you people only recognize buttons by what they look like, not by their position on the gamepad?

The bottom button is Accept, the right one is Cancel, left is Light Attack, top is Heavy Attack.

>>375802493
Circles are good, and crosses often mean you cannot fucking do this thing, captain

O is good and X is bad why the fuck is it changed

>>375802780
Not always, you moron.

>>375802780
Try playing Final Fantasy with that mentality. Top button is warp, left button is dodge, bottom button is jump, and right button is attack.

>>375802081
kek

>>375802884
Final Fantasy ended on IX as far as I'm concerned. So the top button is Menu.

>>375802969
Ended after XIV for me.

>>375801421
They are both 4 buttons laid out in the same rotated square?

>>375803023
>>375802852
The point is it's absolutely irrelevant what is written on the buttons, as long as you just associate the in-game actions bound to them to your finger movements. You shouldn't ever be thinking "now I have to press X button to jump", you have to skip directly "now I have to jump" and press the right button.

>>375803023

the only way the letter buttons are in-accessable is if the user is a fucking retard. If the game promts A the symbol A is going to look the same every time... so when it tells you press A to do (insert action here) your still gonna see the A on the screen looks the same as the A on the controller good god

Nintendo would like to have a word with you. Having letters AND japabese layouts fucks with my brain.

>>375801421
childhood is prefering the shapes of a sony controller.
manhood is realising that the letters of the xbox controller make more sense.

>>375803237
This is why I can never pick up an Xbox controller and learn the controls. Even when someone says "Press A!", I always go for the Nintendo layout.

For me, if its gonna be letters, its gotta be Nintendo. Otherwise, I'll stick with PS symbols (which is fine, I prefer the DS4 to the Xbone Controller, anyways).

>>375802764
can't remember any that used it as cancel either, the only weird one i remember was legend of dragoon had triangle to open the menu

My childhood was spent on the SNES, so your little speech there makes zero sense to me.

The only thing that annoys me about Playstation controllers is that I'm going blind and sometimes quick time events will flash up either an orange square or a pink circle. Very similar shapes and colours from far away.

They could have at least made the square yellow.

>>375802780
This. why are you even fucking looking at the controls

I prefer "accept" to be on the right and "back" to be at the bottom. Right is to advance, as if you're reading. Down is to go back down a level in the menus etc.

all you fags arguing is why QTE's are more prominent

>>375805924
The bottom button is easiest to press, so it should be accept.
The right button is the most awkward to press, so it should be back.
