DualShock 4 Buttons?

[Toasterloaf]

Would like some support for DualShock 4 (PlayStation 4) buttons when detected. I'm used to being able to tell what buttons do what based on the position of Xbox buttons, but would like to see some UI implementation. Also for the Switch Pro Controller, too, would be a bonus!

Hey, Hades does indeed have native support for DualShock 4 (as well as Switch Pro controllers, plus Xbox and Steam Controller as well)! Is it not working for you...? I play mostly using a DualShock 4 on my office machine, and Xbox controller at home.

We're aware of issues with some wireless gamepad configurations though if you plug in a wired controller it should just work automatically. If you're having any controller issues, our Technical Support FAQ has some possible solutions.

For now, just have to go with the flow. Perhaps one day SG will include PS gamepad UI prompts.

OP was asking for the default Xbox buttons to switch to the PS ones (Y button prompts as triangle) =]]

No it is, I just wanna see the face buttons in-game.

When I disable Steam controller configuration, native DualShock support does not work if controller is connected via bluetooth, game does not see it.

Over wire it works, but this is useless to me.

Also implementing just a button icons swap is always useful, since if people choose to not use native support, DS4 users end up with wrong button prompts.

Automatic detection is one thing, but yeah, you could also add a setting to just choose the face button visuals since it's not absolutely foolproof (not to mention there may be matters of preference).

I understand, thanks for clarifying. The game autodetects your controller style but there currently isn't an option to choose the button prompt styles manually. Thank you for the feedback.

Please add the option to choose button prompt styles. It's a very rare feature, not often seen in games, yet it's a very helpful one. Would love to see it implemented at some point.

[FrenchTart]

Agreed. It would be a very nice feature to have.

Dualshock 4 is not really supported on PC. Only few games support it, but there isn't any official driver for it in Windows 10 . Steam only emulates it as a Xbox controller.

Since this got bumped, I'll take this opportunity to say that I'd love an option to force the button prompt style. I use an 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ controller, which uses the Nintendo-style button layout, but it's detected as a generic Xinput controller, so it displays Xbox buttons for it.

define "few".

recent games i'd tried from CD Projekt, ubisoft, square enix, all provide PlayStation UI.

Surprisingly, most of indie games do that. Think - Blashphemous, Hollow Knight, The Long Dark, 7 Days to Die, A Plague Tale: Innocence, Armello, Beholder and so on.

When it comes to major development companies, Kodjima Production's has figured this puzzle out. Not only does Death Stranding provide native DS4 support, it also lets you choose which button prompts you want to see on the screen.
Hell, even Ubisoft has figured it out! Ubisoft! Think about that! Most of its titles know what DS4 buttons look like. Personally I know of Assassin's Creed Origins, and all of it's successors .

i am playing the game wirelessly using dualshock, but it still shows me xbox prompts, do i have to connect it for the ps4 prompts to show?

[Tim]

I'm also coming in to say that I would LOVE this feature. I find it easier to remember the positions of the Sony face buttons than the letters of Xbox or Nintendo controllers.

You may need to, yes. If that doesn't work, I have some potential fixes outlined here.
