What's your control scheme?
Just a quick discussion thread about control schemes. For persons that are still just realizing the game exists, this should help people find their control schema of choice. For me, the following controls work rather nicely;
Joypad (PS1 / PS2)
Right-stick X / Y: Move portal gun
Left-stick X / Y or D-Pad: Move Mario
1 / Triangle: Place blue portal
2 / Circle: Place orange portal
3 / Cross: Reset portals
4 / Square: Pick up item
5 / L2: Run
6 / L1: Jump
If I wasn't lazy I could also define button 9 as select (Down) and button 10 as start (enter), and maybe use the other buttons for various different things but the above is my basic setup.

I don't use a controller, but this might also help other keyboard users. How mine's setup is like this;
Keyboard & Mouse(Obviously, lol).
Arrow keys that follow their exact directions, (Left Right Up Down) For Movement.
Z = Jump
x = Running (And stuff like picking up things,ect.)
R = Resetting the portals
E = use..? (I really dont know what this is supposed to be)
Mouse = Shooting portal 1, 2 or both
Pretty much all my control setups revolve around having Z and X as the main controls, reverse or not.

It's just like the PS2 controller. If you're having trouble mapping because it's PS4, try x360ce for XInput support and easy-mode mapping.JTunn wrote:Has anyone tried mapping the ps4 controller? Is that even possible?
I can't play without a controller (Not enough key rollover). IDK why people keep saying they suck with a pad.4matsy wrote:(mainly to remind myself how bad I am on a controller compared to on keyboard, lol :p)

up arrow: jump/button B
right arrow to: run/button A
w: up
a: left
s: low
d: right
my controls are that way because: when I tried to emulate NES games on my computer, the controls were the default of most of emulators: arrows, X and Z.
one day, my down arrow stopped working, so I put in D, for some reason =P. and then after the left arrow to stopped working, and so I created this configuration.
sorry is something is wrong, i am brazilian
right arrow to: run/button A
w: up
a: left
s: low
d: right
