While I like this look over the old white cottonswap ACE it's kinda awkward seeing the Playstation buttons. They seem so iconic but out of place as an obvious plug for Sony. What else would they use for button icons though? ABCD? 1234? Random symbols?

Do you remember the alien symbols that were on the early pictures of the Magrider HUD we saw? That would seem like an obvious choice.

Then again, it could still be shapes, just not those exact shapes in that exact style.

Alien symbols are for Vanus, really.
TR and NC aren't using alien tech (except respawn? I'm not sure).

The ACE itself looks good, and the Playstation symbols are kinda funny but out of place, indeed.
But it's not that important, really.

Perhaps there are two power buttons because you can either create a single object or combine two. Turn on the right or left one and select a boomer. Turn on both and select a boomer and an EMP mine, and you get an EMP boomer. Want to cancel your combo? Turn off either the right or the left one.

it used to be used to deply:

mines
a remote C4 like explosive(aka: boomer)
motion sensors
spitfire turrets

now im sure spitfire turrets are out, boomers are still in, but they may not be on the ACE anymore. Mines are still in and presumably will be deployed from the ACE.

it could also deploy the engineer manned turrets, however in PS1 deployable turrets used an advanced ACE? ...i dunno...but it was bigger than the normal ace. but it could still be on the ACE in PS2.

I suppose all the buttons on it are cute, but I think it's just a little obnoxious. Why would an ACE have a power button?

And maybe a tad bit of speculation here....4 symbols, are we lead to believe there will 4 different types of CE? Or possibly 8 since there's 4 on each side?

Two rows of buttons makes its easy to deploy one handed. As for the PS buttons I think its pretty cool, don't take it so seriously everyone !

For a device like this (which can probably deploy many different things based on your CE level) it makes sense to have each button renderable to show different pictures. So its possible they are just place holders, if not.. who cares :D

Yeah, that makes sense. Since mobile phones have two sets of numbers, one set reversed for left handed users. Also military GPS's have two sets of identical buttons on either side for left handed users. I find it quite annoying that my keyboard has and exact mirror copy of all the keys off to the left, its a waste of space. Have you ever tried to use a TV remote which only has one set of buttons while left handed? It just can't be done.

If the average left handed Joe can use the exact same asymmetrical PlayStation controllers as the average right handed Joe with the same proficiency, then I think a militarily trained engineer can use such a tool one handed (either one) without having space and resources wasted in the tool's design, which even after a second of consideration is totally useless.

I take the point, but I also think there's a PhD for the taking here for a lucky statistics student.

The hypothesis would be "left handed console game players have a lower K/D than right handed players". The student would measure the K/D of loads of players and then allow for various factors such as:

How old was the player?
How much had they had to drink?
What were they smoking?

to try and determine if there really is a disadvantage to being a lefty and using a right-handed controller.

(and if there is, it would explain my 0.5 K/D on most online FPS lol )

No. All the things you quoted are completely irrelevant because they have a linear layout and are rectangular objects, so from either side (left or right) there is no difference besides the angle your coming at them or which hand is doing what. This is a circle, the buttons are places circularly where the fingers will (almost) naturally lie; if a bit spaced out, it also has a definite UP side. So you cant flip it around between left and right hand, to do so would seem awkward.

The design makes it obvious that its for quick one handed deployment which could be the difference between life or death in the battlefield. I wouldn't be surprised if to lay these you don't explicitly need to change your weapon like you do in PS1 but instead you have a second function key to drop them.

The grips on the inside of the circles. The buttons sitting right by the fingers.. All makes sense if you actually think about it.

Yeah, because a few millisecond delay from having to stretch your fingers a couple of inches to the right when placing a mine is going to be the difference between life and death. If your death is that immanent then there wouldn't even be enough time to escape from the blast radius. The time saved by there being two sets of buttons is practically inconsequential.

It could just as easily have been designed with all 5 required buttons in the centre, beginning to arch up. Power on one side X on the other, then O above that, then square next to it, then triangle above that. Simples.

Besides which they are made of nanite, so they do not require mass production and as such can be made specifically for the person ordering it, which is the case for player chosen sidegrades. Which do you think uses up more precious resources (and I should remind you, nanite is practically the most precious), using a design which unnecessarily caters for two types of people and uses up far more nanite (plus design space and weight) than what is needed, or simply having another program in the design computer which is an exact copy of a right handed version of the ACE, only mirrored?

However I would rather rely on an official explanation of its design than random apologetics, but I'm not expecting one because it is not truly necessary. However I'm always willing to go after flawed apologetics :D

This sort of over analysis is really completely pointless, i'm sure the devs have put less thought into it than were discussing... but anyway I'll bite. Please mind that my comments are about the logical button layout of the current design, why the second row of buttons arn't 'pointless' as the initial poster described. Its not about production/resources required, lets stick to the original point.

Yeah, because a few millisecond delay from having to stretch your fingers a couple of inches to the right when placing a mine is going to be the difference between life and death. If your death is that immanent then there wouldn't even be enough time to escape from the blast radius. The time saved by there being two sets of buttons is practically inconsequential.

It's not just stretching your fingers. Buttons will be placed in order of priority use from left to right if your right handed and right to left if your left handed (because who wants to be using their pinky to push a button often, especially through gloves?). This could be fixed as you said by being able to flip the buttons (one row) or having two designs (L & R).. Neither of which the devs have gone for !


It could just as easily have been designed with all 5 required buttons in the centre, beginning to arch up. Power on one side X on the other, then O above that, then square next to it, then triangle above that. Simples.


see above.


Besides which they are made of nanite, so they do not require mass production and as such can be made specifically for the person ordering it, which is the case for player chosen sidegrades. Which do you think uses up more precious resources (and I should remind you, nanite is practically the most precious), using a design which unnecessarily caters for two types of people and uses up far more nanite (plus design space and weight) than what is needed, or simply having another program in the design computer which is an exact copy of a right handed version of the ACE, only mirrored?

From a production stand point that would make perfect, sense. But that's not what the devs have gone for, I'm simply stating there are perfectly logical reasons for the buttons to be laid out this way. Its not optimum design, but not without point.


..However I'm always willing to go after flawed apologetics :D


Me too, hence why your explanation about mobiles, keyboard, GPS units and remote controls as some sort of evidence of bad layout for this device grated.

Yes, but we have to make sure that our virtual fingers will virtually press those virtual buttons correctly, or we won't be able to virtually deploy virtual manned turrets.

Did I miss something where this thing is going to be created in real life? :lol:

Last I checked this was an object in a virtual world.

"Suspend Disbelief"

Yeah :D, but as you guys talked about in the AGN its all about depth and immersion. If you don't believe an item like that would work in real life then its going to be hard to find the game immersive :) !

This sort of over analysis is really completely pointless, i'm sure the devs have put less thought into it than were discussing... but anyway I'll bite. Please mind that my comments are about the logical button layout of the current design, why the second row of buttons arn't 'pointless' as the initial poster described. Its not about production/resources required, lets stick to the original point.



It's not just stretching your fingers. Buttons will be placed in order of priority use from left to right if your right handed and right to left if your left handed (because who wants to be using their pinky to push a button often, especially through gloves?). This could be fixed as you said by being able to flip the buttons (one row) or having two designs (L & R).. Neither of which the devs have gone for !


OMG you are getting trolled!!!



see above.



From a production stand point that would make perfect, sense. But that's not what the devs have gone for, I'm simply stating there are perfectly logical reasons for the buttons to be laid out this way. Its not optimum design, but not without point.



Me too, hence why your explanation about mobiles, keyboard, GPS units and remote controls as some sort of evidence of bad layout for this device grated.


OMG you are getting trolled, how obvious does this have to be. Good one Snipe, really got people talking about... umm. nothing.

No sir, we dont have trolls on these forums.. Just open debate as in this example. Unless you are hoping to audition, with your bright red text and size 5 font you're doing a good job so far ! Keep it up champ !

I second this, couldn't have put it better myself.

Also as a side note, I submit to your response regarding my previous comments :)

Awesome!

This will go well with the newly re-designed Repeater:

In the face of such overwhelming adjective based evidence, I concede the point. Your argument is watertight sir.

Well played. Well played.

Why would an ACE have a power button?


You don't think it's a good idea to have a way of turning an explosive off?

Did I miss something where this thing is going to be created in real life? :lol:


They should make and sell this as a USB attachment.
The pilots can fly their mossies with their joysticks and the eng's can set up their stuff with their ACE controller ^_^. It'd be useless and awesome.

/kudos

Have to fill the day with something PS related, and yesterday it was over-analysing the boomer design to the n'th degree ! Kind of gone as far as I can right now with my PS2 iPhone app until I get mo info, so trolling the forums and playing PS1 more than normal :).

bear with me...
