Fair enough. This was awesome

Hey Sony bring back START and SELECT buttons

After using PS4 and PS5, I still don't know what the new buttons are called

 

[Clintizzle]

100%

Fuck off with the "Share" button.

Nintendo Switch Pro controller still has these right? Almost a perfect controller. The Dpad is trash. Played Tetris and it's AWFUL.

no, Nintendo switched to + and - during the Wii, and slowly phased out the alternative labels.

+ and - are the best replacements tbh

Oh that's right! Yeah makes the most sense.

 

[Melon Husk]

Nope, I've forgotten their names. They're "left menu button" and "right menu button" now.

 

[BlackTron]

I think they should print + and - on the buttons but still label them Start and Select on the shell. It goes with the grain of colloquial usage and covers all games you might find on BC or VC.

I wouldn't mind if Xbox and PlayStation just did the same thing at this point but whatever they do it has to be better than this. Nobody can even remember what they're called.

 

[Calverz]

I call them start and select. And I call all triggers left and right trigger or left and right bumpers. I say left stick and right stick. I don’t say L3 or R3.

 

[Branded]

Yeah I honestly have no clue what to call these otherwise.

Every time I play a game with someone from a younger generation they have no clue though and it's so annoying lol.

 

[Closer]

Yes, unless it's a Nintendo console after the Wiimote. Those are plus and minus buttons.

On my Steam Deck it's 'Screens' and 'Sticks'

their official names are View and Menu respectively. they are the Xbox standard buttons since the Xbox One.

they replaced Back and Start respectively.

the Back button was actually used in most Xbox game menus as a way to go back, as an alternative to the B button. so it actually did what it's labelled as, which couldn't be said about the Select buttons on controlles after the 16 bit era (and even during the 16 bit era Select was barely used to select anything)

I definitely gotta side with Nintendo, using Plus and Minus makes a lot more sense.

Barring that, maybe “L(eft) Menu” and “R(ight) Menu” might not be awful.

Start and touch pad. It's not a select button any more for me.

The share button is largely irrelevant as I mainly game on PC where I press F9 for a screenshot. But I call it the screenshot button on PS5 cos I don't share stuff. Especially food.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

PS: Options and Share
Xbox: Hamburger and Cheese (at least that’s what I told my nephew

it's not even called Share anymore on PS5. on PS5 it's called the Create button.
