Since video games existed there’s been the need to make your avatar on the screen actually do things.
At first this was done with simple knobs and joysticks and when video games moved from the arcades to the living room this seemed to be the way things were going to stay... But it wasn’t.
And although many controllers share similarities there’s one that stands out for a very specific reason and that’s Sony’s PlayStation controller.
Why do the PlayStation controllers have triangle, circle, X and square?
YouTube is probing its employees following the PlayStation State of Play leak that revealed all announcements ahead of the presentation.
I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.
The Epic Games Store has yet another free game, and it's a pretty damn good one.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Why not? ;)
Circle is one line, X two, triangle 3, square 4. I figured this out like 10 years ago.
I always thought it was just a quarky Japanese idea. I definitely was a different take on buttons and made PS controller synonymous with gaming.
I bet Nintendo regrets backstabbing Sony now. Nintendo helped creat this juggernaut And to think MS and Nintendo is shaming Sony into crossplay.
Triangle = point of view
Circle = cancel
X = Enter
Square = A Map/scroll
