More than any other game I've ever played, I feel Gundam Evolution is a strong indication that the standard controllers included with modern consoles did not keep up with game design. For those who aren't aware, it's is a free to play competitive shooter that's a bit similar to Overwatch.
The default controls have dash mapped to left bumper, jump mapped to right bumper, ultimate ability mapped to in on the right stick, reload where it usually is, and the rest of the face buttons activate two or three character specific abilities. Of course, left and right trigger are used to aim and shoot respectively. Oh, and in on the left stick is reserved for reviving teammates. Got all that? Because modern games use a lot of buttons, and modern game characters have a lot of abilities, but the controllers we're working with have barely changed since the PS2 and the original Xbox, at least as it specifically relates to gameplay.
If you play this game on a standard controller, there is no way that you won't ever feel limited. At least one character ability won't be able to be properly aimed during use (think of using the circle or B button to throw a grenade), OR you'll be slow to react when it comes to dashing and jumping out of the way of enemy attacks.
If you're playing this and disagree with me, I'd be interested to know how you've setup your controls. And aside from that, what do you think of the game itself?
