Controllers Control Everything | Game Maker's Toolkit
Added 2016-05-10 12:14:49 +0000 UTCAh, the video game controller. That bulky chunk of plastic - bristling with buttons and sticks and bumpers - allows us to interface with alien worlds, fantasy landscapes, and post-apocalyptic wastelands. But is the design of the traditional console controller limiting the sorts of experiences designers can offer?
Comments
Games like Heavy Rain or Until Dawn take an approach that's a bit between a couple of the ones you mention - while they allow for semi-arbitrary interactions, they don't (generally) do so with a simple button press, but with a more complex gesture meant to simulate the actual motion.
