I forget if I ever shared this thing I made back in the day.
Gamecube controllers had X on the right, if you’re looking to fill in your graphic :)
After all these years. Finally, I have them all.
R and L need to be swapped. Right is on the left side and Left is on the right side!
The idea is to make fun of actual mistakes you could make due to the different button layouts and names. I legit get RT and RB backwards because “Right Top / Right Bottom” makes more sense to my playstation brain than “Right Trigger / Right Bumper”; to me they’re both triggers, just one is analogue and one isn’t. Plus the position of X being in a different spot on 3 contemporary consoles.
I’ve never confused left and right at least, thankfully! :)
I think some people needed a /s for my comment lol.
I was thinking it would be fun to enrage people some more by labeling the left and right based on the picture and not the controller 😆
“left top” that’s me
Interestingly, the Playstation one officially isn’t the letter X, it’s “Cross” according to Sony. But pretty much no one ever actually uses that name.
That makes a lot of sense. They just decided “screw it. Westerns read backwards so like yeah probably everything else is backwards too?”
Sony (via PS5) also finally standardized X Accept and O Back globally. It was backwards in Japan because X meant No and O meant Yes.
i mean if you’ve never used a playstation the same would presumably be true all over the world, “cancel” is symbolized by X
Originally, O was meant to be accept, and X was meant to be discard/etc., but this Japanese cultural artifact got lost in translation.
If xbox is gone, there’s at least a chance we can finally bury the abxy vs bayx thing.
Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.
Well let’s kill nintendo then
Most reasonable proposal tbh.
Steam Deck buttons are Xbox layout.
Better than the old days of “Press 3,” or worse- having to map keys to joystick buttons in the config of everything
But SteamOS (UI) itself lets you configure it. It even has controller-agnostic button prompts, kind of similar to Breath of the Wild’s where it shows you each button and highlights the one you should press. If I was at home, I’d share a picture of it.
