--- Quote from: Titchgamer on December 28, 2016, 11:25:51 am ---I honestly never got the whole angled joystick thing. I mean if I am stood against a flat edge I expect to push the stick forward for up. Up and left to match the direction of the screen is illogical to me. --- End quote --- That's why it's so prevalent. It makes no logical sense until you know the results of real world testing. It's how one would expect it to work unless they weren't familiar with real 4 player arcade machines. Then once they are familiar with the original machines, the question becomes "why was it done that way on nearly all the old machines?" So someone not experienced with real arcade machines decides to make a 4 player panel. They look at examples from google image searches. They look at crazy expensive examples on ebay. Neither leads them to think twice about the angle of P3 and P4 sticks, so they proceed as they planned. That doesn't make them stupid. Now if they come to this forum to look at examples....hopefully they'll see the issue pointed out and do some more research. |
