yes, but with PS4 they will be limited to two analog button types, the triggers and the sticks. The "buttons" do nothing more than on and off, no in between.
Exactly, with PS2 and PS3 the X, O, square, triangle buttons were analog with something like 255 states/levels between on and off. With the PS4 those same buttons are just on and off.
It's a difficult/frustrating change for some one like myself that used X and Square for gas and brake, since the release of the PS2 and same basic button configuration since the days of the Super Nintendo. Going from Digital to Analog was a treat. Going back to digital makes these type of games almost unplayable. Which is why I've bought but barely touched games like Grid Autosport and the older Nascar games by EA because they lack analog button support.
Same here dlr. I've been using X and square since GT1, making the transition to another configuration will be tough. GTA V forces you to use L2/R2 for gas and brake, but you don't have to shift gears. Throw that into the mix, and being even close to competitive will be tough.
The old school guys are getting left behind, and there's no way in hell, I can justify spending hundreds of dollars for a wheel rig, just to play a game. For 5-600 bucks, I can do some cool shit to a real car.
