First off, what features do you really need on which controller? Only the Right Joy-Con Controller uses the IR Motion Sensor. The IR Motion Sensors first usage are party games, where you only hold the right Joy-Con controller. Party games aren't and won't be designed for the use of the Pro Controller. The missing analog Triggers on the Pro Controller are indeed a bummer and as I stated somewhere else, I don't understand Nintendo for not implementing it. This is just stupid by Nintendo. - Headphone Jacket. I have no controllers which have a phone jacket in with the exception of the Wii U gamepad . So, I don't see it as a loss or missing feature, because most controllers don't have that. That the DS4 controller has one is good for the DS4 controller and people who actually want to use it. But who knows, maybe bluetooth headsets will be supported? Which, I don't actually really believe in. - Touchpad, uhm.. don't see a purpose in it. But what are we arguing about it here. You deny the features of the switch, but accept the features of the DS4? - Lightbar for positional Tracking, again, the switch doesn't need this fancy stuff. So why mentioning it? There is no purpose for it. - The Wii Remote had internal speaker, and imo were a waste of time and resources. "and only (supposedly) enhances the rumble and adds NFC, with a trade off of missing other features, and even if you don't see the value of most of the missing features, analog triggers is a pretty major loss on its own." "supposedly" is the wrong word it. Did you actually bother of informing yourself what this HD Rumble feature is capable off and how it works? It let's you "feel" textures. There are several tiny vibrators (is this the correct word?) placed inside the controller. While moving your hand like you would do on a wall, you will be able to feel certain roughness or softness thanks to the several tiny vibrators in it. And I suppose this is the most expensive technique in these controllers. So, if you want to know why those controllers are so expensive, there you go, HD Rumble. |
Yes, supposedly, because until I try it first hand all I am doing is taking someone else's word for it.
Supposedly is the correct word here.
In reality it's simply an enhanced rumble, and I find rumble to be a pointless feature in general, regardless of which console.
All it does is piss you off if you put the controller down to watch a long Cutscene and drastically reduce the battery life.
I'm also willing to bet that after the console releases and someone posts a teardown that HD rumble is essentially either just using three motors instead of two, with one mounted 90 degrees to the other two.
Or just two mounted in a fancy way.
