NOOOOOOOOOO!
I hate accelerating/braking with the R2 and L2 buttons.
I prefer the good old X and [ ]
Hopefully you can map it however you want.

Enter/Exit Cover? Maybe I haven't read enough previews. I didn't thin GTA IV was gonna have a cover system...

Yeah, I didn't like that either... The pressure-sensitive X for acceleration was great.

I'm guessing they're trying to develop similar layouts between the 360 and PS3 since there aren't any analog buttons on the 360! (which is dumb)

I'm gonna be studying this for a while.

Damn! I hate shooting with R2. I hope you can configure the game to use R1.

It looks like the melee fighting system will be mildly complex what with all four face buttons having some possible fighting function mapped to them.

I'm sorry, am i missing something, or are you talking out of your arse? Not only does the 360 have two analog sticks, both the triggers are analog. Stop trying put down a console which you have obviously never tried.

On another note, this game looks fucking awesome :D

What's wrong with L2/R2? I love the triggers for shooting/accelerating (like it is on most 360-games).
Triggers for shooting is pretty natural... and it's easier in my opinion to control speed with a trigger as it's much deeper than a button.

Ohwell, you'll most likely be able to change it anyway.

To all of you freaking out that the controls aren't how you like them, notice on top is says "Standard Controls" in other words, those are only the default. Most likely you will be able to change them to your liking.

Buttons should NOT be pressure sensitive, that was something I hated on the DualShock. Because new gamers don't realize they are and wonder why their car won't accelerate. I told my little sister to "press harder" while playing GT4, and she looked at me and said "are you serious?"

The triggers are a much better choice for accelerate and break, leaving your thumb free to do things like shift, aim, and toss molotov cocktails.

@dionion:
Dude I'm pretty sure you will be able to customize the controls to your liking. Calm down...

can. not. wait.
