Tip: 2 Combined Controllers for 1 Person


Jensen

Recommended Posts

Greetings People!

 

When I started up "Sackboy's Prehistoric Moves" for the first time this day, I quickly noticed as stated in other threads, how troublesome the controls can be, if you're trying to play the game by yourself like I did.

 

I did somehow manage to complete the game, but not all of the trophies. I kept failing when I tried to unlock the "Hotfoot It" trophy. Since I'm not much of a multitasker, I couldn't coordinate the "Move" controller and the "DualShock3" controller with both hands and at the same time navigating through the more difficult parts of the levels. I really needed some precision if I wanted to unlock the remaining trophies.

 

Then I thought about combining the two controllers with a rubber band and rather quickly after that, I had unlocked my "Hotfoot It" trophy. The two combined controllers proved to be particularly useful, when more actions were required, for instance running, jumping and grabbing with Sackboy, while manipulating with the different "Move" objects.

 

I have included some photos and apologize for the bad quality, but it's merely meant to clarify my idea.

Remember to make use of the :triangle: button on the "Move" controller, if you want to reset the pointer.

[EDIT] Added more pictures of the controllers viewed from below. I hope it will help figuring out how the single rubber band is attached.

haha, that's very creative :)

i'm gonna try it out right now. see what happens.

 

 

edit:

just tried a few levels, it's still challenging but it's much more easy to handle both at the same time now.

 

i tried acing the boss level and it was very do able, the hiccups however is a nightmare but that was it aswell before the trick, just slightly easier ;)

 

Primordial Shoot is slightly easier but it wasn't so hard before if you knew when and where to shoot for those bigger multipliers.

Genius. I was having so much trouble trying to get the trophies on this game by myself, and this helped tremendously.

 

I used my left middle finger for the move trigger, and my right hand for R1 grabbing.

I found it easy to just hold the move controller in my right hand while holding the DS controller in both hands

 

I did the same thing ^_^ I actually got most of the score and Ace level trophies holding the controllers like that. I can't seem to pull off Hotfoot It (it's my last trophy!) so I'll definitely be trying this method! Thanks for posting Jensen!
