| windbane said: I don't care if Sony copies every controller idea from other people. IMO, they have had the best available controller since the dual shock, and they keep incrementally improving it. Nintendo stabbed Sony in the back, then didn't go with Phillips' cd drive either, then sucked it up with the N64 hardware and then the gamecube. Nintendo has been very much against online, too, so they are now copying microsoft who btw copied everyone that makes PC games. Who cares. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I HAVE YET TO SEE THE REAL QUOTE FROM CAPCOM. |
I really dislike the Dual Shock controller (and the Dual Shock two) because it is a tiny controller, two shoulder buttons doesn't work well at all, the left stick is in the wrong position and gives thumb cramps if you play for too long, the face buttons are not distinct from eachother and are labeled poorly (using geometric shapes rather than letters and numbers means that you can't even imply the position of a button from its name).
All of these problems (except for second shoulder button; Z is useless) were corrected by the Gamecube controller and the only disadvantage the Gamecube's controller has is that the non-uniform button layout limits the number of button combinations you can do.
I liked elements of the XBox controller (hiddent button's under the sticks) and have heard that the XBox 360's controller is an improvement over the Gamecube's in many/most ways.
