@ Gnac The N64 stick was digital, not analog. Not that it truly matters, but it's good to have all the info when you are going to claim someone is "copying" (not sure if you have claimed they copied, but many ignorant people have). And I'll definitely concede on the fact that Sony drew inspiration from the SNES controller, and then improved upon it. I don't think they changed the design of the Dual Shock largely because if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I find the Dual Shock to be a perfect fit in my hand, and I also prefer the alligned analog sticks. I guess Capcom did, too. They must know a good design when they see one. And I'm guessing most people do, as you can see the inspiration from it in most controls since it's release. Like I said before, they all do it. So people just need to inform themselves and quit whining. |
Can you verify this? It seems that it at least had the precision expected of today's analogue inputs, and that should not be disregarded. The main reason I responded to this post was regarding the issue of the form factor of the controllers, which highlights their purpose. I haven't commented on the form factor of the Move (in this thread or others), because I believe that only so much can be done with regards to ergonomics when trying to achieve a certain purpose.
The other reason I even bother to comment in threads like this is because people are so pedantic. The slightest tweak allegedly makes the world of difference, but in the greater scheme of things, it does not. There are so many factors to consider, that we cannot isolate one as a barometer of success.
EDITed to address the awful attitude of the poster I replied to
WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3
