Well I did mention the UPro is finally a controller primarily designed for 3D gaming, Personally for the vast majority of the games I play I would be happy if the d-pad was entirely replaced with 4 normal buttons, some old games do work better with a d-pad over a control stick, mainly 2D platformers that use the d-pad up and down for jumping and crouching. Most modern 2D games though work as well, if not better with a control stick over d-pad... in fact due to the extra buttons on modern controllers the jump/crouch of old 2D games could be moved to other buttons anyway... so the d-pad is redundant. Unless you have deformed thumbs there are only 2 reasons I can think of that people would prefer d-pad and buttons in the prominent position. One is that you play a lot of 2D games (fighters for example are probably the genre that interests me least of all, but I can imagine a d-pad is wanted for move combos), and the other is that you are doctrinated to the PS controller. |
Fighters are one of my favorite genres. I also love platformers too. I wanna play UMVC3 or SC5 I'm just not sure I would enjoy them on the 360 given my reluctance over the d-pad so far. I prefer 2d games in general.
