I think the inspiration may have been games like Cyber Sled or Battlezone, which in the arcades used a two-stick setup.
Indeed, the Playstation early in its life had a twin-stick peripheral.
The same Playstation also had the Namco neGcon, a controller meant for racing games, which used analog both for turning the car but also for gas and brakes.
As such, early on it doesn't take much of an intuitive leap to see why a general-purpose controller should have more than one analog stick, if there were already controllers that were trying to fake it.

If I remember correctly, the original Gran Turismo (1997) really guided the Dual Shock controller into form. For the years that preceded Gran Turismo, players relied on Namco's NeGcon for analog acceleration when playing at home since 1994/1995.

I remember that race well. I did it with a motorbike on the PC version with an extremely custom setup:
I used the pedals from a Logitech GT Force Steering Wheel for gas/brake, and a Namco neGcon controller for turning the bike 😅
Suffice to say, I was exhausted after 🤣
Forza Horizon 6の島1周レースが20分ぐらい連続で走って辛いらしいけど、XBOX360テストドライブアンリミテッドのラストにある島1周は45分ぐらい連続で走行するので、あれに比べれば楽なんだけど若かった頃だし今だと集中力が持つかなあ

- README.mdを書いた: 「俺はneGconをForza Horizon 6でつかいたいんじゃ for RP2040」
- なぜかmainブランチになっていなかったのでマージ。
- STARTキーをメタキーにして、Xbox360の全ボタンを入力できるようにした。

PSのネジコン(neGcon)で #ForzaHorizon6 プレイ達成！
さすがに純正コントローラのふりはできないので、リモートプレイのみだけど… :D

PS1 NegCon controller mapped as PlayStation 3 pressure sensitive buttons.
The NegCon has four total analog axes. Twist plus I, II, and L buttons.

Old NegCon button springs sounding industrial.

neGcon for sure. A PS1 controller that twists in half at the middle. Genius for racing games, terrible for everything else. Still want one though.

Awful mis cojones morenos. Y encima gente soltando tonterías de que estaba enfocado al NegCon.
Ridge Racer (cualquiera de las saga) se maneja perfectamente con cruceta.
Menuda máster class de manejo y calidad técnica dio Namco en apenas 6 meses de desarrollo en 1994.
Whenever people tell me "Ridge Racer on PS1 is better than Sega Rally Championship on Saturn", they never bother posting a clip of themselves playing the game.
It's not because of the graphics; the game looks fantastic for 1994.
It's because the handling is awful.

That's because it was basically built around and on the basis of the assumption that the player would own one of those negcon twisty-turny PS1 controller things that was pretty much useless for everything else.
It was a cool controller though tbf

If you’re struggling to turn in PS1 racing games, set the input as “Negcon”.
most of the time, this unlocks fully analog gas/brake and in some cases, fully linear steering so you could react instantaneously
Ridge Racer 4 and 5 benefits the most from my testing and finally drift cars are playable with this setting

Works well with the JogCon but I still prefer the NegCon for racers on PS1!

the children yearn for the namco negcon
