D-Pad or Analog Sticks?

[Fez]

I'm so happy to finally play this, and I've been enjoying it so much thus far. It's definitely not easy and I love challenge. Especially the tedious positioning and movements. I've already raged on a few maps because I felt like it really wasn't my fault, but maybe it is.

I don't think I can do a poll or anything here, but I'm curious to see how many people are using the D-Pad and how many are using an Analog Stick. I'd love to hear what you're using, and maybe even an argument on why what your using is better.

I personally use the D-Pad. I remember not having Analog Sticks on my PS1 controllers, and always using the D-Pad for everything. Having done that for so long on games like Crash Bandicoot I kinda find it hard to adjust over to Analog Sticks.

What do you guys think? Is one better than the other?

Analog. D-Pad on the XboxOne controller (XboxOne Elite) feels gross.

I prefer the joystick, even on the dualshock 4. For the original 1990s games its different. D-Pad feels way better in games like the old Resident Evil games (I jst played them this week)

D-Pad, on Crash 1 this will make you not die so much.

I use d-pad for all of crash one, analog for the 3d sections of crash 2 and 3 and i go back to the dpad for the 2d segments of those ones. dunno why but that's just how i always played them

How can I use a non X-box controller to play this game?

Since I've been playing with a Steam Controller, I've been using the analog. It's been working out so far, haven't suffered a single death that I felt could've been avoided if I used a d-pad.

This.
I use the D-Pad whenever I want to be precise with my movement.

D-pad. I play with a classic ps1 controller without analog sticks even though I own a ps3 controller.

Only D-pad.
Analog can provide only step-by-step walking. Useless and actually worse than run-walking. For all other action (jumps\mount runs\moto and water-board) D-pad is much better. In original PS1 game too. Original controlling and levels do not create for Analog joypads -- and same in the remale\port.
And Vicarious broke original contrloling, so it more worse to play on Analog.

Good luck!

Both. Depends, if it's 3d part or 2d part. I usually use D-pad for precision and analog for normal stuff.

Depends on the controller you wanna use. I actually use an Afterglow Wireless PS3 controller. It's just something I've grown used to. I have an Xbox One controller, but I'd rather use the PS3 one. It just connects by usb and detects automatically. No input lag from what I can tell.

If you have non Win\Xbox or Dualshock or... pff... Steam Controller -- you must re-bind buttons at start. It only one differences.
All chines-based controllers (Logitech) must work if they fork in Windows Control Panel.
Don't use Steam\Steam Big Picter for control settings presets.

This game doesn't have analog movement, so d-pad.

However, most d-pads are trash. There are no good ones on modern controllers.

It depends on the controller, too; Xbox 360 d-pads are unusable, so you're kinda stuck with its analog stick.

You'll have the easiest time with keyboard (and mouse).

Analog all the way! I avoid dpads in all games, I don't feel comfortable playing with it.

[Cybertox]

Most definitely D-Pad, the game was designed for the D-PAD as the Playstation 1 controller didnt have analog sticks.
