PlayStation All-Stars supports arcade sticks

SuperBot Entertainment has announced that PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale will support arcade sticks.

The company revealed the news on the game’s Facebook page.

A statement said: “We are happy to announce that PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale will include controller configuration support for all popular arcade stick peripherals!

“Fans of the fighting game genre can use their favourite arcade-style controller to play Battle Royale to full effect.”

The statement claimed that, “joystick inputs behave exactly the same as DualShock 3 D-pad inputs would, so arcade stick functionality is natively supported in PlayStation All-Stars”.

It added: “The only exception is the throw command, which uses the Right Stick on the DualShock controller. With an arcade stick, throws are simply performed with an easy button combination, similar to many traditional fighting games.”
