Darc Requiem said: I can't say that I blame the guy. I didn't like the PS1 controller. The Dualshock has been essentially unchanged for a decade. The analogs are still in the wrong place and d-pad is still shoddy. They could at least make an effort to improve the controller.
The left analog should be in a primary not secondary location. Most games use analog input as the first option now but the Dualshock continues to treat the digital pad as the primary input. Its ironic when you consider that Sony has had a pretty anti-2D stance in the the PS1's introduction. |
How is the D-pad shoddy, its by far the best D-pad in the game, so i can't even imagine what you think of the other ones.

You have to ask!? Its the same shoddy "split" D-Pad that dates back to the PS1 controller. I figured after 14 years sony would make some attempt to correct it.

Here is what a really good D-Pad looks like.

This is why Darc Requiem is the smartest person on these boards. Saturn dpad is the best Dpad in gaming. Look it up on the net people...people will kill your mom to get their hands on the limited edition PS2 saturn pad beacuse games like Street Fighter, SHMUPS and other 2D games don't play the same without it.
PS1 and PS2 dualshock Dpads were horrid. PS3 one got a little better...but it still isn't worth a hair on the saturn controllers ass.
