The XB1 controller is barely different than the 360 controller. The only reason the 360 controller is different than the XBox controller is because that beast was designed for cave trolls. Only Nintendo innovates their UI with every generation. No one else really cares.

So a gen4 controller in gen 8? It still works, doesn't it?

Yeah, while the touchpad and the more ergomic shape and size are nice, its disappointing we're still using dual analogue in the 8th gen. Feels like a step backwards. At least PSMove and the Wiimote are still supported, lets hope devs used them.


Lol

 

You're drunk, curl

If you take away the touch screen and the share button you have the XB1 controller. So in that case I wouldn't say the PS4 controller is a gimmick. I would say the PS4 controller is a controller with gimmicks.

Nope. Compared to pointer controls, I find analog woefully inadequate as far as aiming goes, plus motion has shown it can add a lot to games. To go back to the dual analoue design feels like going back to a D-Pad after analogue.

What a moron, calling next gen "Gen4". It's the 8th. Gaming didn't start on the N64/PS1.


Is this a rule now? Do EA make everyone say this?

I suppose this is an appropriate place for this.

DS4 is bigger than DS3 mainly due to fitting a decent size touch pad on.

DS4 looks like it will make FpS handling garbage..Did it really need a share button?.....And not sure where tough pad gaming is going...


Right, and you're the most bias unreasonable person when it comes to PS products. As I recall you from the "next big thing in gaming" thread where you called the PS Eye tech fake and I showed you a link proving you were wrong and you never commented back in the thread. Must've felt really dumb, eh?

 

And here you are downplaying the PS4's controller. Why am I not surprised?

 

Anyways, I look forward to trying the DS4 and Xbox One's controllers for myself, both look sexy.

That playroom techdemo is nothing but a gimmicky smoke and mirrors PR BS showing people what the touchpad,light bar and controller & speaker functions... it's not a real game and some of the features seem to require the PS Eye ...

And here is what I said in that thread.


"You also said that you were hyped for some Playroom demo  video from Sony which showed absolutely nothing concrete let alone anything near possible..."

Saying that nothing concrete was shown and doubting the possibility of doing certain things becuase the Playroom tech Demo is touted to a Dual Shock 4 Capability Demo and not mention if some of the things in the Demo require the PS Eye is not bashing the PS product it's just being realistic...Seriosly Sony puts the view of the guy sitting on the couch interacting the with the Playroom as if these were needed

So get real..You want to be hyped for the Playroom TechDemo go ahead...I am just not convinced....

And never mind that you started to down play kinect in your OP.....

As for me Down Playing the DS4...Nope again just being realistic..Dual Shock 3 was garbage for FPS games and DS4 looks worse...

I still think the thumbsticks right next to each other is very uncomfortable. X360's layout is hands down the best ever. Thumbsticks are in a very natural position.

DS4 looks like it's improved all the things I found annoying about Sony's previous controllers, but I still think the One's controller will be more comfortable for me.

Bungie seems to like it fairly well.

I don't get your reference to a multiplatform game with Timed exclusive content...
