Is it just me or does the Other M screenshot look better than Shadow Complex?

It's not just you. Resolution aside everyone is so hell bent on making super realistic games that actual artistic direction is a dying theme in games.

In 10 years we'll have 8.3 billion shades of brown and red will mean an automatic -15 in score unless it's for blood.

Isn't that the opposite of what it is now? Like, if a game doesn't have fuschia, turqoise, and chartreuse, people say it's a piece of shit brown game.

That may be true but the TUNNEL SNAKES WILL ALWAYS RULE!



Funny how it's not sony ripping of anyone but MS does something and it's they copied Sony.

Anyway... everyone copies everyone. Some are first and others refine it. This is how it always has been and will continue hopefully because if we start getting into the simpsons did mentallity that sony fans have then we wont be allowed to have consoles as they are copying magnavox.

This is not new and good for the business and consumer. As long as no-one does an Edison long may it reign.

 

I know this is a joke thread I'm just responding to the people arguing over pads.

Indeed, we need companies taking the competitors product and making it better, because we the consumer will get a better product.  The only issues come in when companies copy another company and their copies are worse than the original product... I mean there's a million iPhone clones but none have quite topped it's functions and possibly could never touch the app store (as much as I hate mac and think that phone is overrated its a nice phone)

Right...

Well, the Classic Controller Pro is the only topic which is clearly obvious a copy. However, as Sony has copied Nintendo for the last, erm... 15 years, they're going to get even this time, and the Pro version is just a tiny piece of what they have the right to.

Well......

Which then Nintendo worked with Sony to make a disc based SNES system

Which when Sony wanted the royalties to the disc based format Nintendo made the N64, so that controller is closer to the one Nintendo/Sony developed and then N64 showed off analog and rumble technology

And then you suddenly have a change on the Sony side, adding TWO analog sticks and rumble.

And so the dualshock is born :P

Thanks. That's what I intended to do too. Good job.

I just wanted to respond to Jarrod because I like the big lug. But thanks for coming back and clarifying. I'm glad you don't care either. :P

The PS Dual Joystick may have actually been the first console dual stick controller though I think?  Dual Sticks were common in arcades and on PC since the 80s though, and the PS stick only predated Sega's Saturn Twin Sticks (designed specifically for Virtual On, which was HUGE in the arcades and also predated the PS sticks by a full year) by about six months.
