Analogue sticks configuration

[sideslider]

If you stomp the pedal it absolutely forgets what trail braking means and plows headfirst into the corner. But if you lighten up on it a little, it rotates nicely, just like it should.

I completly agree i have found this to be the same when i trail brake and when setting up for some drifts i hit the breaks hard for a second to shift the wieght .

Any chance of putting accelerate/brake on the left and turning on the right for left handed people? I know someone who tried but it seems the game gets all confused. It seems the brake/accelerate remains on the right stick all the time. Is he doing something wrong?

AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I tried playing GT4 with the DS2 for the first time today and I can't set up the steering on the right and the gas on the left without it also having the gas and the brake on the right.


NOOOO!!! D*MNIT! Why on earth would they do this to me? Do they hate me? That's it isn't it, they hate me.

how is pressing forward to go forward and backward to stop unnatural thing?
and this has been the default analogue configuration since Gt1 in 1998.

It's the Ace Combat Syndrome.

People get used to having the opposite effect occur in-game in relation to the direction of the analog stick's travel.

Or something. I don't know.

It's the same reason why I want all my first person shooters to have an inverted Y-axis, ie. pull back = sight higher. It undoubtedly stems from large-scale flight simulator playing for me.

But in Gran Turismo, I have always used forward = throttle and back = brake. It feels natural and very easy. But then again, I like sequential shifters to be forward = lower gear and back = higher gear.

I'm a weird (or unique, as one guy said) person, it seems.

... I like sequential shifters to be forward = lower gear and back = higher gear. ...

I'm like this too, and it seems everyone I speak to likes it this way best.

It seems like the only people on the planet who think it should be the other way are the ones who actually design the shifter mech.
