Several questions. 1) What makes it superior? Other than the fact the Joycons don't have one at all. and 2) how can you say "more" features when it doesn't have the same features as the ps4. The ability to use amiibos is not an impressive feature. I'd argue it isn't even a feature at all. It is a requirement for the Amiibos - but in no way shape for form improves the gameplay or the controller in any way. While not even having headphones like the ps4/xbx1 did FOUR years ago - is saddening. The same goes for having digital triggers instead of analog triggers. The ps4 has a light bar that while I wish could be turned off, does have features and usages. Not to mention it has a speaker in the controller as well. 3) And isn'ts the argument of "it is 40 hours" the opposite of "who cares it doesn't have a joy con charging grip - who plays that long anyways?". No one is going to play 40 hours without charging - thus a battery that size is irrelavent. |
A 4 hour battery life is pathetic for a controller. And I think I know what I'm talking about, considering it annoyed me greatly with the Wii U gamepad.
The DS4 controller is filled with stuff no developer ever uses. Why can't I use gyro assisted aiming like in Splatoon while playing FPS or TPS on the PS4? The light bar is just annoying and drains the battery faster (and barely any developer makes use of it in a good way). The touchpad is also very underutilized. The DS4 is a bigger gimmick controller than the Wii motion controller ever was. At least the wii motes made use of their technology in a meaningful way.
As for a speaker, the Wii motes had that as well, it wasn't exactly a big deal and I can easily live without that. It didn't add anything to the games.
And the ability to use amiibo might not be impressive for you, but many people buy amiibo and use it in their games. You also don't have to buy an expensive portal to play games like Skylanders: Imaginators.
