Re: Bungie GOD? Just one of many companies! PLS. R

In Response To: Bungie GOD? Just one of many companies! PLS. READ! (DeAdLy_cOoKiE)

: why is the jeep's control so illogical? Why not drive/turn jeep with left
: stick only, and use right stick for cam?

This is more standard than you think. Many RC racing games use this scheme. There are several reasons: on real vehicles, speed controls are seperate from direction controls. It's easier, despite what you might initially think because you won't accidentally change direction when accelerting. And some of the vehicles need to be steered in 3d.

Despite all this, I think it would be better to go to a more standard system with the triggers for gas and brake and the stick for steering. It may not fit with the foot controls, but console users are used to context-sensitive controls.
