| lilbroex said: Long Controller Battery Life As a PS3 owner, I can attest to the importance of a long-lasting battery since I hate plugging my controller in and having to game on USB. Usually, I get about 6-7 hours of gameplay out of my Dualshock PS3 controller, and I would imagine the Xbox controller has a similar battery life. The Wii U Pro Controller, according to a recent Eurogamer report, will last a stunning 80 hours! Yes, you read that correctly. Sony and Microsoft, please take notice when you go to design the controllers for your next consoles. |
Yeah, what utter bull crap and somewhat misinforming that is though. We'll experience most games and content using the Gamepad, which has a 3 to 5 hours battery life (with a 2.5 hours charge time). Not 80. 3 to 5 hours is really quick. You'll nearly have to think about putting it on charge every time you end a play session.
As for the rest of what's discussed, everything is still on paper. We'll see how it will all pan out once the system is released. There's a lot of novel ideas, but only time will tell if they'll have any lasting value.
