What kind of menu system for the PS3 mod?

[odingalt]

What is your favorite kind of 'menu system'? I posted a few XBOX 360 mods for examples:

Trying to get ideas on the bst way to write a 'menu' for the PS3. Remember we can use phantom buttons, so for example hold tac switch and tap the square can toggle fast reload on and off without actually causing your guy to reload. (any time you hold the tac switch and tap a stock button, the game doesn't see the stock button press, it's phantom)

I like the looks of the first one best, the other two seem pretty confusing to me... I also like the feature at 1:40 in that video. I think the ultimate mode selection for this mod would be different tan anything done before... If it's possible, I would have it so that simularly to the macro controller you assign mods to the different buttons on the PC editor. Then, you can quick on/off a buttons mods by holding the phantom tac and hitting the button for say two seconds. You could have multiple mods per button that you then cycle through by holding the phantom tac and tapping the button quickly. The first link is pretty simular to that, so if that's too hard go with the first link I'd say.

I don't particularly like any, but I agree with PS3 and that the first would be the best.

 

[WetterThanWater]

Yeah, I agree with Jets and PS3, first is the best out of them.

Nice! I like it.

 

[PS3andCOD]

Yeah, me too, sounds great. One thing is I think d-pad down should be turn off rapidfire instead, just seems right you know? I would have left rapidfire, right akimbo RF, up jitter and down off. Down = off... Nothing functional, just sounds right to me lol. Doesn't really matter either way. What's there is very COD specific, are you going to have presets for other games like how the lagacy controllers worked before the preset editor then?

 

[odingalt]

I don't think anybody realistically gives a shit about any game other than Call of Duty.

GOW3 fanatics: Maybe GOW3 this fall, and no, I have no idea what the controller will do for GOW3. Ask me again AFTER it's released.

 

[PS3andCOD]

Call of Duty is definatly the biggest game right now. Some people also like battlefield, killzone, socom or uncharted, and if a new metal gear solid came out it would be popular. I'm not sure that they really have any glitches though, programable speeds of rapidfire might be enough for them. PS3 doesn't have Gears of War though. I assume that's the GOW you're talking about because God of War 3 is already out.

No I think he means Gears of War but he doesn't realize it isn't for PS3. I could be wrong though.

Yeah, same. It comes ou this year and God of War is already out. Kinda funny both consoles have an exclusive series with the same initials...

 

[NYjetsNY1]

Lol yeah it is isn't it?

Oops I didn't near GOW was only for Microsoft. I personally dislike GOW and don't play it ever. I tried once and it pissed me off. I tried again later and it pissed me off more.

So true. Same happend with me with gow2.

 

[PS3andCOD]

A couple things I thought of recently:

COD on PS3 uses R1 and L1 as default, but it can also be switched to R2 and L2. Some games use R1, some R2, it's kind of hit and miss, and not all of them let you switch. This is pretty important to include to make sure it works for everything. Not sure which you were programing for, since comming from 360 you would be thinking R2 and L2, but the vast majority of people use R1 and L1 for COD.

Other buttons with just straight rapidfire would be nice, considering the phantom buttons works for programing I'm assuming that they would also work for rapidfireing the face buttons. Just a programable speed for each button would be great.

Maybe these could be made into 3 seperate presets to simplify things? People either play with R1 and L1 or R2 and L2, so they wouldn't be complaining about having to switch all the time. COD doesn't need any non-triggers rapidfired, so the other buttons being rapidfired isn't really needed on it's preset, and the COD specific stuff isn't needed with the other buttons.

So true. Same happend with me with gow2.

Just wanted to say something NO TROLING or anything but i didnt like gears untill i played it for a couple days and when i started learning new shoutgun tricks i was wrecking the competition and i havent found a game that is better using all the macros consistently other than gears but thats just me?
