Title: Red Faction - controls request
Post by: Jas2k1 on October 17, 2001, 05:43:42 AM: Hi,

Can anyone tell me what the R1 & R2 buttons are used for in Red Faction? And are they re-configurable if it\'s for anything really important?

Thanks, an accident has left me unable to quickly use these buttons - Extermination was unplayable :( and I don\'t want to waste more cash on other games I can\'t use properly..

Cheers :)

Jump: L1
Crouch: L2
Holster: D-Pad Left
Reload: TRIANGLE
Next Weapon: CIRCLE

Fine Aim Mode: D-Pad Up

This is the default control method A, though you can choose from many different set ups. Hope this helps a little.

Post by: Jas2k1 on October 19, 2001, 06:40:51 AM: Niether, Wolves if anything but to be honest I haven\'t followed league footy in ages.. I\'m just satisfied if I get to see a game at all! Allways watch the England games though, through thick and thin.

Suppose I\'m what you\'d call a part-timer

Who do you support then? ;)

Post by: Eiksirf on October 19, 2001, 07:02:42 AM: I was just thinking the other day about the no fingers control issue.

I saw here (http://www.nintendojo.com/infocus/view_item.php?1003347121) that a company is making a glove controller that works with a few systems, including PS2. Anyway, if they make a lefty version, that might be of interest to you. Check out the link for more, but here\'s a quick synapsis.

P5 provides gamers with an ergonomically designed glove-like device, which controls the fast action in 3D game software through diverse hand gestures. Pull your trigger finger in 3D space and the on-screen gun shoots in real time. Flick your fingers away and a game character is thrown against the wall. Lift your palm and an animated helicopter slowly rises into the air.
P5 uses the latest in Essential Reality\'s proprietary bend sensor and tracking technologies to enable full interaction with a 3D environment. Fully USB compliant, P5 will be compatible with Macs, PCs and next-generation gaming systems, including PS2 and Xbox.
