PS4 touchpad swipe emotes

I don’t expect a ton of time or resources for this one, but swipe emotes would be like Jelly to Peanut Butter on PS4. Swiping wouldn’t require a chat box to be open; you’d just do that emote on the fly.

Wave - swipe right
Insult - swipe left
Point - swipe up
Beckon - swipe down
Yes - swipe “check”
No - swipe “N”
Sit - swipe " \ "
Clap - swipe “>”
Mexican Wave - “W”
Laugh - “L”
Cackle Maniacally at the Sunset - “C”

Thoughts, suggestions or ideas?

Right now it’s like this on PS4:

  • someone waves

  • wave back

lol I can always tell when a person is using PS because of this. Emotes, conversation, following…very delayed :grin:

Nice idea, would like a setting to toggle tho, I never was a fan of the dualshock 4 touchpad tbh.

I admit I am touchpad inept and would prob screw this up. Getting all handsy with the touchpad and end up sending random emotes to hoppers probably.

I have gotten pretty good, though, at “touchpad click, triangle, X” bc wave is the first emote and I just never change it.
Because I have learned better. Spent an entire day Mexican waving at ppl bc I did it once so it remembered that was my last emote.
Then another time I pointed right, then ran away left, and got three planets away before I realized what I did.
So I just never use any other emote. :sweat_smile:

Yes! This would be a great help or at least allow to set fav emotes for swipes or something!
