Forums - Sony Discussion - GT5 gas and break pressure sensitivity?

Slimebeast said:

I was a bit shocked when I noticed that you control gas and break with the small face buttons (Square/Circle/Triangle/Ex)  instead of the R2/L2 triggers. It felt very primitive. In real life I gas and break gradually, I don't just press "on" and "off". It was a long time ago I played Forza but from what I remember it had gradual gassing and breaking on the shoulder buttons - and the harder you push the buttons the harder you gas or break.

Is this only due to default settings of GT5 and I should just change them to different buttons and have them work the way I want with pressure sensitivity? Is it even a Gran Turismo tradition to have it on a "on" and "off" control setting by default? How do you prefer to break and gas?

Also do you guys switch gear automatically or manually?

I just use the right analog stick for gas and break, it works much better than R2/L2 and X/Square

Hummmm...

* All buttons on Dual Shock 3 are pressure sensitive.
* The default configuration use right analog stick for gas and break (better than R2/L2 or Square/Ex).
* You can change the button configuration.
* I use wheel... so much much much better.

Those buttons are pressure sensitive..... Try barely pushing X vs. pushing it down firmly. There is sensitivity there. Same with braking.
