Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft tested Xbox One controller with built-in screen, found it "detrimental to core gameplay"

"SmartGlass is different because it's for extra information,"

Oh, it's not possible to put extra information on the controller screen? Console not powerful enough for that? WiiU seems to be able to handle it. And not beneficial to have the kids play on the controller while you can watch tv with the missus? I guess they want you to snap and watch in a little box while the kids play...

Just say it like it is, they rather wanted Kinect in every box, and putting a screen in the controller too would have upped the price to 599.

Well you did say

"Let me guess: Touchpad = is innovation"

as if it wasn't innovative and that he would be biased if he even slightly thought that it was. 

Also, Sony have always added new buttons and what not to the gaming scene so i'm not sure if i would call that specifically innovative but it's new

Still, did not say it was not innovative :)
Just pointing out how Sony biased people always find Sony's new thing "innovation" while Microsoft is not... This guy has been posting in every single Microsoft thread to talk about how Sony is wonderful with everything they touch...

touchpad will be an amazing innovation for gaming & applications on consoles, dont know why M$ didnt look into touchpads


No, its a gimmick that developers will dump after 2 years just like ps3's sixxaxis.

No, it's really not.



I am glad. I really don't want to have to look at a tiny screen to do stuff. Already had that on the DreamCast.

I would have liked a speaker in it. I think Super Mario Kart Wii shows why that is a good thing with those blue wing turtles are coming at you.

And I'm so glad we can replace the batteries. I have a bunch of rechargeable NiH, so easy to swap out and keep playing. I don't want cords on my controllers.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

I love my Wii U, I love having two screens. But he's certainly right that I'm irritated by the gamepad's battery life. Not okay.
