While we are here, there are other possibly better options that might be discussed. I understand the sentiment behind the white box. While using a controller, everything lights up when you point at it. Knobs and buttons glow etc. It lets the controller user know what he can and can’t interact with. I think it was more an Xbox related feature than a controller feature, but I digress.
The glowing knobs are however subtle and really quite hard to activate unintentionally. The big white box appears when I have no possible want or need to interact with the screen though. I’m just looking down to see my speed and it appears for no useful reason. It just breaks the mood and immersion.
So a better solution that kinda meets both viewpoints is to have the screen glow with the white border only for the first few times that the player looks at the screen and then never again. That way, the player is taught that this screen can be interacted with but they don’t need to keep being told. It’s a bit like being poked in the arm. Once or twice doesn’t bother us. But if some idiot keeps poking us it soon gets really irritating until we are ready to smack 'em round the side of the head.
Then again, like I said before, I didn’t even understand what the white box was even for until I was told by a dev so ultimately, it’s really just a big fat fail that needs a serious rethink.
