Could we get alternate control layouts for consoles? | Forums

First full disclosure: I am physically disabled, so this might only be an issue for me, but I'm having a tough time growing accustomed to the controls. Too much to handle all at once. I think it would help to offer an alternative layout.


I suggest for an alternate layout, putting the attack buttons on the face buttons, say maybe Square and Triangle, keep dodge on X, and put guard break and revenge on the R1/R2 buttons. And also, due to the way combat is handled in this game, maybe have a setting that allows you to toggle block stance rather than have to hold the button all the time, in similar games I don't mind holding a block button but due to the absolute necessity of blocking in this game it gets a little tiresome. Would also be easier if block was on L1 instead of L2, although the custom buttons on the PS4 OS can solve that minor issue. (Yeah I could do all this with accessibility settings, but swapping buttons around like that makes menu's hard to navigate and annoying to have to redo for other games, so it's ALWAYS simpler to have more control options within the games themselves)

Been looking forward to this game for awhile but the controls make the game fatiguing to play. Hoping to see an alternate layout in the full game though!

I don't have the same issue as you but I do think that a lock on toggle for the L2 button would be great. Click once it locks o, again, no lock, n double click it switches. The stance switch and other controls while holding on to L2 has been a bit annoying for me so far. But that'll probably be available during the full game with other adjustments
