Yeah. Brook makes a good adapter that supports modern controllers, as well as the PS3, so you can still get those pressure sensitive buttons. I use mine all the time, PS2 is pretty much the only console I play anymore.
Comment on 8BitDo releases adapter for using modern controllers on PS1 and PS2

Kinda pointless for ps2, unless used for a player 2 etc., Because of the lack of pressure sensitive buttons.

PS2 had pressure sensitive buttons? No shit, I had no idea.

yeah I use the brook adapter with PS3 controller which uses pressure sensitive buttons

Does the brook allow pressure sensitive? I never actually got along to testing it properly when I used one cause I wasn’t really looking for it at the time. I do have the one previous to the current model though
swagstudios@lemmy.world 1 year ago
yes. make sure firmware up to date

Barely any game uses them. And I think it’s only needed in MGS. So, far from pointless imo.

and almost all racing games or games with vehicles that use th face buttons for acceleration, think GTA, NFS, Gran Turismo

I remember finding out Ridge Racer V was using them when it was released, and as cool as it was, it just seemed rather pointless. Sensitivity margin was so thin you had to be quite delicate with it.

The Ace Combat games used them for throttle, rudder and radar zoom level.

Silent Hill 2 uses it unfortunately.
TheWildTangler@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Silent Hill 2 has heavy and light attacks that are tied to the analog face buttons. You might be able to use a hold with digital mode but it would be slower

GTA3 as well
Though its rather pointless
