controls

[markymarc]

can anyone please tell me this. can u use the d-pad to run around and steer when driving or do u have to use the stupid analogue??

[Cymru]

Unfortunately you can't use the d-pad. Yes, I'm also annoyed about that.

[markymarc]

man that totally sucks, u normally hate games when u use analogue n take em back, i guess this game i wont take back.

can you not change the controlls thru an option menu?

[Smooth Jimmy Apollo]

I was before I played the game. After a few mintutes of playing I completly forgot that I was using the analogs, and I HATED the analog for Vice City. It's controls are tight and pretty smooth, you should get used to it in no time.

If any of you guys have a dick you could easily control the anologue.

One of my crappy jokes ^^

I grew up with the Anologue on the n64 so its cool..

[Johnny C]

could you please list the buttons and their functions??

[OG_Henny_Loc]

OMG i acuall;y controlled an analog with my f\dick, the one at Eb i was testing FFX like 2 yrs ago and i was moving around with myu nuts hahaha

[Clark.M]

i like the analoge so much better its smoother and u have more control and like Aiden sed i used the N64 pad too and i spose im used to it but i think the analoge is better anyway

[OkComputer]

I used to hate analog, now its all i use, i find it much easier to control. Play hitman2 for a day and you'll realise how much they rule.

[chaos-energy]

i tought u could use the d-pad to say something if some1 talks to you
it's told by gamespot in the Street Talking article (if it was gamespot, don't know the site anymore really)

[Smooth Jimmy Apollo]

You can use the D-pad to respond to people and change radio stations in the car but not to move or drive thats analog only.

[Sobær]

I hate the d-pad, unless it's an rpg or something along those lines. My friend plays GT2 with d-pad, and I can't stand to watch it. I even try telling him the analog has better control (that's my argument when he asks why I'm so good.)

But anyway, my other friend was also dissappointed to see the dpad didn't work. But oh well, I don't mind. :D

[markymarc]

i hate the analogue sticks they arent as acurrate, they seem to slip wen u aiming n stuff n they stick out the pad to much, aint exactly comfatable to use. im gonna be drivin into lamposts n clippin the back end of cars wen im speedin thru the street of san an

[Arto]

i hate the stupid analog its sucks, but oh well whats done is done.

The only reason people use the d-pad is because of it's position. Analog/Control sticks are better, but the PS2's controller has terribly placed controls.

[ebaby]

ps2 is the best controller of all consoles, perfect positioning and fits in your hands

[Smooth Jimmy Apollo]

Lloyd: If I knew the controls I would post them but I'm at work and don't have any of that info with me.

I agree with Olin the analog is in a very uncomfortable postion. The X-box controller has the analog stick in a much better spot.

[Russ T. Blaydz]

There is absolutely no way to change the controls?

[twiddy]

i would also like too see the controls for the game

[ahturkey]

can u put the controls on this thread please

[twiddy]

also i hate analouge but this is such a ****ing good game i'll hav to get used to it there has 2 b an option for customizing the controls

[Russ T. Blaydz]

I could never get used to the analogue control in True Crime (and I played that alot) I fear it will be the same with San Andreas, thus, completely ruining it for me.

Instead of putting your fingers on the top, they're comfortably resting in the back. And, the left control stick and d-pad are very close to eachother, not much effort needed to move your thumb over.

[Smooth Jimmy Apollo]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. The analog controls are much MUCH better in SA then in VC. In Vice they were shit but I find that they really improved the analog controls in this game. Some might have a problem getting used to it at first but they are responsive. I hate analog personaly any game I played if you could choose between D-Pad or Analog I chose the D-Pad almost all the time. But after a few minutes on the streets of Los Santos you'll forget that your using the analog, trust me.

[Russ T. Blaydz]

It helps that the vehicles handle less stiffly I suppose.

[CMPUNK]

I prefer the analogues! ya for me! im not so picky!!!

[san<>tran]

dam*, i cant get the bike to work i keep crashing...my bud said use the d-pad well then what the he*l is a d-pad???

[Russ T. Blaydz]

Well, I just played Vice City and there are 4 different control options. I noticed that between the options, control of vehicles alternated between D-pad and left analogue stick. Can anyone check for these options in San Andreas please?

[Cymru]

Yeah, that would be good.

I concur, it will become 2nd nature after awhile.

[Russ T. Blaydz]

I hope so. I really do.

[Stanty]

i havent got it yet but i always wanted to use the analogue sticks for power and steering cause its all i use for driving games.

[ahturkey]

i saw the controls and wot is trip skip
as i think that is new

[CMPUNK]

Im glad its only analogue as i never used the d-pad but i do think there should be sum kinda option for lovers of the d-pad

[philstauffer]

Anybody know how to change controller options? I like to use the analog joystick for accelerating and braking... I haven't found a way to change those options yet.
