Problem for me is that the Pro controller doesn't support voice chat.

I bought a pro-controller, but now I'm thinking I shouldn't have. The gamepad has the same buttons and really its better to play with that with the TV off even.


I'm definitely going to prefer the GamePad for single-player experiences, but I was hoping for a good multiplayer voice chat solution as well. The Pro controller doesn't even have a headphone jack (unlike the GamePad).

That's my point... play the gamepad on the multiplayer games too. I used it for COD after using the pro controller. gamepad >>>>>> pro controller. same exact controls, but playing on that scree vs the TV was actually a lot better.

Yeah that's too bad. I'm hoping there is a solution for this eventually.

THere are two. Just use the gamepad only or just put the gamepad on the table near your couch in its charging cradle. Not really an issue as any headset of quality will likely have a decent cord length too.

Just a few questions supes.


1) Have you had a chance to check the battery life of the gamepad yet?

2) Is it awkward to use if plugged directly into the mains?

3) How long is the mains to gamepad cable, roughly?

Thanks.

Good to know. I'd like to know how well it works with Assassin's Creed though, since it'll probably be the only multiplayer game I'll bother with over the course of next year, unless I decide to try out Monster Hunter (a game in which the controller won't matter at all).

Very good news to hear! I was hoping I'd be able to use my gamepad for all communication.

Off topic: Just noticed your youtube comment. You have a puppy named Bowser? Wow.. that brings back memories. When I was 6 years old, we got a golden lab puppy and my mom let me name him. I named him Bowser as well. He was an amazing dog. I miss him.



Good to hear. Thanks for the info! :)

That's a nice story...  my Bowser is just over a year old and a cross between a chihuahua and a pug. He's a real cutey.
