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?
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.
Sony has launched the PlayStation Store "May Savings" sale, and this one has over 2,000 items! Read on for the complete list of games.
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
