DS4 Buttons / Turbo mode.

[Yekkusu]

Ok, I was just checking some old posts here, and again, I decided not to buy the game here.
Before you start "You're not a fan if you love the game you should buy it because it's playable and better than PS4", I did get CS3 and 4 on PS4 on release day, paying full 60 bucks for each, I think even more on CS4 actually.

So, why there's no mod or at least an official statement from the dev teams about why the button prompts for this game Dualshock4/Xbox One controllers are actually DS3/X360 prompts just like CS1 and 2.

First, I can get past the outside the game window for configuration, it's lazy? Yes. It's an old thing that should be left in the past? Yes. It's annoying having to open and close the game fifteen times until you get to your sweet spot on the game FPS/Graphics? Yes.
Those are features they did from the start and I'm pretty sure the time/effort to put all of them ingame would be too much for them.

However, why in the hell the button prompts for the controllers are not fixed? I have this game on PS4, the buttons feel right on the resolution/graphics setup this game runs, while DS3 buttons just look wrong, and frankly rough over the edges even.

And there's the Turbo mode, it's still a button press on the keyboard, it's not a toggle button on the controller. It's easier on PS4, why? Why those simple things are not fixed already? I'm pretty sure nisa made the Turbo mode work right on Switch which has fewer buttons than the DS4 anyways.


Ok then, I'm sure there's no official answer, most of the people here don't mind/care about it, but since I did have the original version of this game and some design choices feel like a downgrade instead of an upgrade, and it's simple to fix and it's not fixed, and the fact that I can't find any official mods to add the original PS4 prompts means you guys don't mind it that much anyways about it, there's nothing I can do about it.

Will I buy this game now? probably if I get it into like 75% off or something, I would buy it full price again here but really, it just looks better on original hardware and it shouldn't be like that. That's why I have all of the Legend of Heroes on Steam but this and the fourth Cold Steel ones. It's lazy for the devs to do that, and it kinda annoys me so little people complained about it since it was never fixed. Since this game runs pretty damn good on PS4 I don't see why I should get it here, but yeah, I'm just disappointed.

If any of you know of a mod though that could fix those issues, especially the Button prompts, tell me. Maybe this way I would be able to play this game at 60fps on PC without cringing every single time I enter in battle because the buttons just look wrong.

I know it sounds silly for a lot of you guys but I have never been so disappointed on a port for the Trails series on PC, it's just so silly for something so simple to be removed for no reason but laziness, you know?

For the turbo button on the gamepad, you have 2 "custom shortcut" buttons on the pad, just assign the turbo function to one of them in the launcher options.
CS 1+2 had the button mapped as default to R Trigger but in 3+4 its different.

My issue here is the lack of the toggle which is a normal thing in the PS4 version for CS3, that for some reason was removed from CS3 on PC.

The buttons... I know it's hard to mod this game, so I can't complain no one did it.
The icon for the Turbo mode looks better on Ps4 BUT since I'm pretty sure the dev teams decided to use CS1/2 engine for certain things on this port, it makes sense that it works similar. However, I don't like that I have to keep a button pressed down to activate the turbo xD

Cold Steel 4 has a toggle option in the launcher settings, so at least you can change it there.
Toggle is the default setting in 4 for the turbo button.

Well, technically the PS4 versions of these games (both the Japanese and English releases) have a High-Speed mode which is a toggle. I know other joysticks apart from DS4 have less buttons in it, but even so, removing the option for people who actually have a Dualshock 4 seems silly.
The same can be said about the buttons, why they decided to remove the original buttons and add ugly Ps3/Vita versions with lower quality in this game still eludes me. They even got the time to rework all of the "help" files inside the game. XD

I wish modding these games textures were easy, if it were, we would have textures mods not only 3D costume mods.

Anyways thanks for your reply! :D
