Do you remember when Triangle was the "go back" button? Why did that change?>The "go back" button is clicking on the Reddit logo. Now use it.
>Do you remember when Triangle was the "go back" button? Yes, it was the best era of console vidya gaming.>Why did that change?They tried to standardise ex/oh for confirm/cancel (or cancel/confirm in Japan) on the PS2 with its home menu, but there were still lots of devs that stuck to ex/tri for PS2 games.When the XMB became the new hotness that Sony was rolling out on everything including the PSX2003, PSP, PS3, media players, and phones, they started mandating it so there would be consistent menu navigation whether in media or on the XMB, and it finally became their universal standard.
>>12621185interesting
How about when O was the confirm button?
>>12621185the ps2 didn't have a home menu you larping faggot fuck
>>12621505Not very common in the west.
>>12621907>triangle means neither O nor Xwhoa...
>>12621907>X/O is yes>ロ/∆ is no
I do in fact remember.
>>12621907Nobody gives a shit about what the Japanese think. WestGODS commanded them to make X confirm and they submitted like the weak willed cucks they are.
I think it's more natural when you pull back your thumb a little bit from triangle, x or square to the utmost right button O
>>12621952that's what she said
>>12622327∆ MEANS ∆!
>>12622170>Nobody gives a shit about what the Japanese think.It's why they're used as button icons, I'm just explaining it, man.
>>12622135what game is that????
>>12622563Demolition racer.
>>12621098Anyone who publicly acknowledges that Triangle/Y were cancel before 2002 is abducted by the deep state, never to be seen again. Good luck, anon.
>>12622618Pray for me anon.
>>12621098It was a better and simpler time.
>>12621505Always was in Japan
>>12621505This one seems like it would make sense to me. X is like you are crossing something out or saying no, while circle by contrast has a positive connotation to me, like you are confirming something.
>>12622673Maybe it's because I'm white, but it makes less sense to me.The unfilled circle is empty, a hole with nothing in it, a valueless amount, the space on a form in which you mark a different symbol to confirm your selection, the symbol for no power on electrical switches like the one on the PS2, the hand signal you make joining your thumb and fingertips to emphasise zero, and the Sony circle is red adding further negative connotations.>saying noYour mouth makes a circle shape when you say no.
X/Triangle was the standard control scheme for western PSX games you had to comply to to get your game accepted by Sony.
>>12621895You're retarded
>>12622754What a fucking gay way of thinking. Even just saying X is where the A button would be and circle the B button would be less pretentious and more reasonable than all that stupid babble you just spouted.
>>12624841
>>12624843Man I haven't touched a Nintendo console in so long I forgot the actual layout of the controllers.
>>12621098I have the first 200+ PS1 games by release date,I cannot recall anyone using Δ as back,it was always O or X depending if US/JPso you are a liar and a massive faggot
>>12622669X/O are in the same positions as B/A on a Nintendo controller and A is always used as the confirm button in Nintendo games.
>>12625142>>12622630
>>12625142Your recall is terrible, faggot. There's dozens on PS1 and PS2.
Look i'm telling you, triangle was never the back button. Any claims otherwise is zoomer revisionism!
>>12623051Explain the western releases of MGS2 then or did konami magically bypass sony's requirements and nobody noticed?
>>12625269Kek, >>12625142 got utterly BTFO
