I actually love the SNES controller. While it's small, it's not designed ti be held in the palm of your hands, just by your fingers, and the ends are so round.

The 360 controller would be my favorite, but the build quality is poor. If I squeeze, the panels separate, and it makes a terrible noise.

So....I guess N64 is the best? It wouldn't work for modern games, but holding the right and middle handles feels perfect.

I dunno, playing a FPS and being forced to use R1/L1 was really annoying. The 360 controller (and the Wii mote + Nunchuck Combo) were really nice. The problem I have with Playstation controllers is they are too small. I'm not even a big person, but I would like a controller that can reach the base of my palm.


well going by a comparison shot of the two together it looks like the DS4 is going to be the bigger pad or microsoft have put the 360 pad on a diet, either way longer better grips and proper triggers should even the balance between ps pad and xb pad.

Sounds great!

I mean, even if the PS4 controller is still too small for me, how hard is it to make an XL controller? I'm not a big person, but I mean a lot of people are bigger then 5'4 (My estimated size of a person the PS1-3 controller would fit)


the PS4 controller is actually bigger than the 360/X1 controller

Edit : go to the page before it and you can see pics comparing it to the DS3

I have my VGC set to 25 messages per page, so your link brings me to page 1, and I can't find it on page 148149.

So I googled it.

looks niice. Finally a Playstation controller which fits in my hands

Bleh, the One controller sure looks ugly by comparision

As long as its analog sticks are not offset, it will never beat the Xbox pad in my personal opinion.

the analouge sticks being offset makes no difference to the experience given by the games being played, in my personal opinion it makes no difference being offset or not.

the two biggest problems surrounding the DS3 have been addressed, the DS4 is bigger and fits in the hand better and now has proper triggers, the analouge sticks were never a problem.

Maybe to you. I don't want my thumbs that close together on games that utilize both sticks. Mine bump together quite a bit on the DS3.

I've played a few FPS on PS3 that uses the L1/R1 & L2/R2 for the aim and triggers, and I personally prefer the L1/R1.

If Battlefield uses L2/R2 then no thanks, i'll stick with CoD. Plus its EA so I probably wouldn't have picked up the new BF4 anyways.

lol no.

Xbox controllers since 360 are just ergonomically superior.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

in your opinion maybe but to most people a controller is a controller and they are as good as each other, there is no superiority.

The XBox One still has the left analog stick in the perfect position for me (left handed) so it still will my definitive controller for me in the next generation.
