| Trentonater said: Aside from that awful D-pad this is something that is almost always overlooked in comparisons of the two controllers. The playstation control measures how hard the top buttons are pressed while the Xbox controller's buttons sit stiff and just register a press as a press. In games you are capable of lightly pressing a button for different effects. This is best illustrated in the HD metal gear games which allowed you to lightly press to aim then hold to shoot. Something that is impossible in the Xbox versions. This could be an inportant feature in many games like a platformer but it wouldn't be there due to the xbox. It annoys me that this is almost never brought up in discusions.
The ps3 controller is my preference especially for beat'em ups, platformers, and fighting games. I have never had a problem with it it being uncomfortable as I hold all my controllers with my fingers rather than my palm (somthing you shouldn't do anyway as it can lead to hand injuries after a certain amount of time). |
There's a fairly simple reason why it's never brought up in discusions, it's because people don't give a damn about that feature. That's like saying the DualShock 3 is better because of Sixaxis control.
Signature goes here!
