PS4 Controller on PC - how to show ps4 buttons?

[Dave]

As title. In many interviews they have stated that if you play with a ps4 controller on pc there would be an option for the game to show ps4 buttons. Anyone know how to do this?

[NeverSleeper]

I don't think there is currently a way to do this. The PC version of The Witcher III is not optimized to work with the Dualshock 4, but rather the Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers and the button prompts for the DS4 probably don't exist within the files.

Best thing you can do is either wait for a mod to impliment this, switch controllers or try to remember what keys you've bound on the controller

[AzothStorm]

idk not that hard to memorize the keys since xbox and sony have basically the exact same controller layout. just different letters and symbols.

[Dave]

I agree its not difficult to memorize them, however it was stated as a feature and would be nice to have :)

[Flamed84]

I agree. They already have the button graphics for both controllers (because they designed the game for both consoles) - surely putting in a "switch controller type" option would not be too difficult?

You can't do this on PC because the developer flat-out lied on Twitter about full support for both xb and ds4 gamepads. They got lazy and only implemented xb buttons for PC.

Like every other game on PC?

Maybe users are lazy for not going and getting the supported controllers for Windows Operating Systems?

They ARE supported. Windows isn't the problem. Gamedev that are too lazy to draw a few assets are.

Xbox is the officially supported pad. All games that support pads...run an xbox pad. Go buy one of those, they are cheap. But dont' throw out the lazy dev crap when you can't run down to the store and grab a $20 controller. That is sad.

[Archey]

Some people, myself included, just flat out hate xbox and their controller setup and would appreciate DS4 pad support when it was explicitly promised.

Correct.

It's not about not being able to afford an XBox controller, it's about support for playing the game the way we would like to play it.

The game was designed for both consoles, meaning the graphics for PS4 buttons and the control layout for the Dualshock4 have already been created by the developer, we just want them implemented in the PC Version alongside the XBox controls. A simple "switch controller type" function in the menu is not asking too much.

In any case the game is awesome, and this is just a minor inconvenience, but still one I would like to see fixed.

One of the only games I know that actually supports the PS4 controller out of box is Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
