DEVS, finally...a reasonable request for you
I picked up the game early in it’s life, not since birth, but not far after, so I’ve played for almost its entirety of existence. I started on PC, I now primarily play console (PS4) simply because the majority of my social friends do.
Yes, we all know why the optimal gameplay experience cannot match the gaming experience of PC right now, but one simple thing can make it better, which is a start.
I am lobbying to have more controller configuration options for console players...that’s it.
If you would like me to be more specific, I’m already ahead of you. I want to allow the player to move using the directional pad rather than joystick only. This will be optional, and no one has to use this if they don’t want to.
Why? Isn’t it obvious? Regardless if you’re a seasoned neuro-surgeon with steadiest hands or not...the joystick is just not as accurate as the buttons are.
Need proof? Use a joystick, or mouse to move a cursor perfectly straight up and down quickly. Did your straight line falter? Now attempt moving that same cursor with buttons on a keyboard or, in this case, directional pad.
I am open to debates against this, but at the moment I can fathom no downside from adding this as a feature.
Can we have this please?

I am sure there isn't a downside, but I do not see a horribly pressing need for this to occur. I am absolutely sure that more customization is something on the Dev Team's radar, but they have more urgent things to attend to.

That really bugs me too. But there needs to be more changes that includes options on PC that we don't have yet:
Also I would like them to implement the option to change the in-game language without having to change the console language

I know they do, but this is easy. Controlling a character, ESPECIALLY an accurate character like Nurse or Huntress is much easier on PC for a reason. Yes, I do know...yes, I play both. I’m not lobbying to have this right away. It’s a very simple mechanic that nearly every console game has. After 4 years, I think we can discuss this as an option.

Sure. I would love to see more options (colorblind settings pls).

i play on pc with controller, analogue movement feels like an advantage to me. i can go straight at them, i can go diagonally at them, i can move at any angle relative to my camera instead of just 8 of them. i can pretty much move straight in a chosen direction while spinning in a circle. The downside is a slightly less accurate camera control but i think it's an okay trade, works fine for me. I think you'd be nerfing yourself by trying to use dpad movement in a 3d game, while still having the inferior camera control of a joystick.
& i main gunslinger who requires precise camera aim. lately also pyramid head.
@Pulsar im guessing you're probably on console since you're in a thread about it, but if you have a recent nvidia graphics card on PC you can enable colourblind modes with nvidia freestyle.
