I admit, the DS4 controller is a lot bigger. That was my bad. Bad picture on my part.

Come on ethomaz, we all know that's not true. Almost everyone who's gotten hands on time with the X1 controller says it's better than the 360 controller. Also, as nightsurge has said, the X1 controller really isn't much smaller than the 360 controller.

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/05/22/xbox-one-controller-hands-on

"Overall, I was surprised how much I liked the Xbox One's controller. While the changes from the Xbox 360 controller are significant, it clearly respects the legacy and leaves its strongest qualities intact."

Real gamers impressions from GamesCom... most Xbox 360 users... the consensus is that what I said.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=657813 (you need to go deap in the thread)

There are a lot of posts... most issues common issues are: snaller and loose sticks (like DS3) and LB and RB in wrong place.

Yes they do.....use google.

I did use google. They all are overwhelmingly positive impressions of the Xbox One controller. You guys need to quit trying to make the Xbox One controller sound bad when no one is saying that. Is it all the jealousy over the 360 pad being the renowned controller of last gen (other than d-pad of course)? :)

The Xbox One improves on the 360 pad, all the impressions are saying that.

The reasons he gives for liking the DS4 over the XOne controller make no sense. The distance between the Xbox One analog sticks is too close? What? No they aren't. I don't think they are any closer than the 360 controller. In fact, I believe that other than the thickness in the middle, the controller is the same size and a tad bigger than the 360 controller.

He then compares the triggers. Mentions the rumble triggers on Xbox One, but he didn't try the actual rumble trigger demo. Every single game will be different in regards to rumble. A game like Ryse will have way less use for rumble triggers than a game like Titan Fall or Killzone. Still could be used for when blocking with shield and stuff I guess. Again, it really all depends on the developer and the game, which is why he should not be making rumble comparisons without trying their actual intended demos.

Then he doesn't even mention the DS4 rumble triggers, just says that the triggers feel better. Range of motion is NOT what you want in a trigger. You want something that requires less movement and is more responsive, which he did not comment on at all.

Again, seeing as how the Xbox One controller layout itself didn't change hardly at all, especially not the analog sticks, I just don't see how his hands could "cramp" if they never did so when using a 360 controller. I guess I haven't had my hands on with an Xbox One controller yet, but seems more like there were WAY more external factors involved and that he attributed his hand cramps to the Xbox One controller falsely, simply because he didn't notice the cramping till then. How do we know he didn't play PS4 games first or had been typing/writing up a storm before playing Xbox One? :P

Killzone is still coming to One?

DS4 does not have rumble triggers, btw.

Lol I was saying that he played Ryse on Xbox One, and probably Killzone on PS4, but from the article I don't think it mentioned Titan Fall so he probably didn't get a proper demo on the Xbox One. That was my point.

And are you sure? I thought the DS4 had rumble triggers!

Wo, wo, wo, slow down, who sid anything about the X1 controller being bad?????? Jealous? Over a controller? I was fine with dual shock 3.

 

All we are arguing is the Ds4 is miles better at at least as good, and many people are saying even surpassed MS's controller. Not one person said MS controller was bad. At least I certainly wasn't.

How do we know which pictures are bad though?

Huh? The only one I posted that had both Xbox One and PS4 controller in it, obviously.

The Xbox One controller builds upon the Xbox 360's legacy as a proficient shooter gamepad. All of the ergonomic features you love are there with significant refinements and increased precision. With Sony making FPS-centric improvements for the DualShock 4, it'll be interesting to see which controller reigns supreme when the systems ship later this year.

http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/21/xbox-one-controller-vs-xbox-360-controller-fight/

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is as useful a phrase as it is folksy, and though theXbox One is a complete reinvention compared to the Xbox 360, the controller is in many ways little changed. It's a bit more rounded, a bit softer to the touch and features redesigned trigger buttons with their own discrete rumble controllers. The d-pad is revised, and the analog sticks have more texture. Also, the battery backpack is no longer quite as pronounced. In other words, we think it's going to be great. Check out our gallery of comparison shots in the gallery below!

This whole article is an in-depth comarison where it's obvious they think the X1 controller is better.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/technology-video/10244469/Xbox-One-controller-hands-on-review.html

Rob Crossley of ComputerandVideoGames.com compared the Xbox One controller to that of its predecessor. How does it measure up?

He thinks there has been a marked improvement for the new version of the Microsoft console, with added definition and comfort.

 

http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/12/dualshock-4-and-xbox-one-pad-first-impressions/

All-round, though, the One pad looks successful. It’s always going to be tough to come out with something meaningful in response to something as good as the 360 controller (d-pad aside), but Microsoft appears to have done a decent job. It feels very comfortable in the hand, and the rumbling triggers are a lovely touch.Both the DualShock 4 and Xbox One pad are generally excellent, barring a few quibbles.

There’s nothing wrong enough with either of them to worry about. So don’t.

 

http://www.dealspwn.com/xbox-controller-initial-impressions-152226

But the Xbox One controller might be in another league in terms of comfort. It's smaller than the Xbox 360's game pad, sitting in the hands the way that Ubisoft's limited edition Ghost Recon Future Soldier pad did, albeit without the mesh grips (more on that in a bit). But the shape is still incredibly pleasing.

http://www.trustedreviews.com/xbox-one_Games_review_kinect-controller-games-and_Page-2

We'll go into more detail on the new Xbox One controller elsewhere, but the short version is that it's a smart evolution of the 360's existing pad. The design and feel is broadly similar, and the main, most tangible differences are a new cross-shaped D-pad, a slight raised ring around the new analogue sticks, which helps keep your thumb in the right place, and a slightly lighter, more responsive feel. Button layouts are the same, though positions and shapes of the bumpers and triggers seem to have been adjusted slightly for added comfort and speed.

Xbox One. Hang on to those AA batteries. Players will still need them to power the controller. On the bright side, the controller loses the bulky container.

It feels lighter and thinner than the 360 controller overall, yet maintains the same design and feel that players know.

And last but certainly not least!

????? I never once said the x1 controller never improved over the 360's................... That  was not even being discussed.

What the hell is rumble triggers...I've asked people already and I don't feel like looking them up lol. Is it just triggers that vibrate?? I don't see why people are making such a big deal out of them =/
