It would be nice to change them though, make AT LEAST look behind in the car the right stick press or something.

Is it possible to hack it to be the "classic" controls?
The only new controls are the interactive control which can be added under the joystick

Why cant we have the right joystick for incar views and shoot?!?!?!?! So much better in VC! :(
because rockstar is stupid. why on foot cant we have Normal 3rd person controlls?? left stick move right stick look/aim. why the hell does the right stick control the camera view. its like when 3d game first came out and noone knew how to make the controls work we had games like that. seriously why hasnt anyone else complained about that issue as well? the camera is horrible it should either stay behind you be total free roaming. i cant stand being stuck looking at the camera trying to move and the camera cant figure out it should be behind me not in front of me. so im stuck trying to move the camera while moving my guy but as soon as you move the guy the camera fights against your inputs. its just driving me insane the more i play it the more i hate this dam game.
imagine playing the new UT with those controlls how stupid the game would be. either give proper 3rd person control or let us go 1st person. i cant stand having to actually target people with the gay auto target thing. i want to target someone 2 feet in front of me thats currently shooting me, but no it auto targets a girl running away from me 100 feet away.

But I think they should of just kept the same controls as vice city, its a real bitch to drive and shoot, especially at the left side.
You can change targets by using the black and white buttons

Actually, I haven't gotten the game yet, so I'm hoping you guys will go to Rockstar and make them smell your nutsacks until they reprogram the controls. This way the version I get will be better. In fact, make them allow the user to choose each button's function, rather than that Option A, Option B, crap. And, don't forget the camera fix too. So stop washing your bits, and get to it.

Looking behind.. well, that's a different story.

If I'm doing a drive by I'll use my middle finger on the right trigger and then my pointer finger to fire and my thumb for either the black or white button.
If I'm just driving I just turn my thumb sideways to press the black and white button at once.

You guys know that for drivebys you can use white + A to shoot, right? It's a TON easier. Well, it's at least consistent with bl + B. Id on't have any problems anymore with drivebys.

Yeah i've gotten use to it but still prefer the old controls. I found doing a right hand drive by is not a issue but a left hand drive by is a little bit trickier. Also its just about impossible to do drive bys when on your BMX as A is bunny hop so you are forced to use B.
Fireengine missions are pretty hard with the new controls, the button A is shoot and you use the right thumbstick to aim. So you have both hands on the right hand side of the control. If I remember correctly on VC, you use the right thumbstick to aim and the thumbstick button to shoot

Well, I've decided to give up on the Xbox version of this game. I just can't get used to those craptacular controls.... So, fuck it, I'm gonna get the PC version. At least a PC controller can be configured the way I like it...
And, yes, I will be producing copious amounts of fromunda cheese for Rockstar to sniff off my ballsack. They really fucked up this time...

The controls in San Andreas sucks but it takes time to get used to them. Once you get used to the controls it will be no problem, I only have one problem with the controls and it is for doing a drive by. You have to press the black, white and the b button to shoot to shoot on either the left side or the right side. The controlls in Vice City were much better, but if you are going to complain about them the only thing you should be complaining about is the controlls for doing drive by's.
It's not just the drive by controls that mess me up. I have never been able to get used to using the triggers to accelerate and brake in a driving game, including the GTA series. I know it's kind of a stupid thing to bitch about, but c'mon, would it have been that much trouble for Rockstar to write in a few extra lines of code to allow re mapping of the buttons? After all, the PS2 version has been out since, what, like February, or somewhere in there? They sure as hell didn't take all that time just to clean it up for the Box, cuz it doesn't look much better than the PS2 version (IMHO)..... Not only that, but I think I remember hearing somewhere that the controls on the PS2 San Andreas could be changed to classic. Hmmmmmm... :ph34r:

i think out best bet at this point is to make custom black and wite buttons in the space on the top next to the controller ports. i have a 3rd party controller that has those and helps much
Either that, or get one of those adapters that allow you to use a PS2 controller with the Xbox. It still doesn't change the fact that you gotta use trigger buttons for gas and brake, tho...
