i love the touchpad, its use as a mouse has to be one of my favorite.


I wish they'd bring mouse features from touchpad into the web browser.

Lol. Because every dev just jumps on the possibility to program for another set of superfluous controls.


But thats the thing, you dont have to dev for every single possible combination of inputs, but it's nice to have a virtually unlimited pool of inputs for you to dev for if you need.

Buttons will always be prioritised but the touchpad now means devs can add more features into their game(say from a pc version) without shoving everything into the pause menu or having some weird button combination e.g hold r1,r2,l1 and x to perform taunt

also, last gen it was impossible because of not enough button combinations, but imagine skyrim/ES with a swipe up to quick save feature. Now how would they add that onto xbox one if they decided not to use kinect for parity reasons.

Simple. They will not use it in the first place. Additional controls beyond the traditional button layout are frowned upon as shown by this and last generation.

Possibility =/= probability =/= usability



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Don't forget that the PS4 also supports voice commands!  Works with the headset OR the camera mic too!



If a game that required the whole keyboard to survive in the highest difficulty, as in Dragon Age: Origins, was ported (almost) flawlessly to consoles, I don't really see why inputs are such huge issue.

Yeah technically you're right, since at the console's minimum level i.e. what comes in the box does include (a cheapy but still good enough) headset.
I wish more (or even ANY) devs would use it though. I dont think using voice control on ps4 takes up system resources, I hope we find out about that.



Starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find arguments as to why one console is superior to the other I see...

How about the fact that the PS4 comes in a blue box?.....or that the XB1 has a larger instruction manual?



lol

just lol
or maybe rofl


not sure, what to say about this
xbox has unlimeted



I'd rank the limited number of inputs as trivial at best in the list of challenges the Xbox One is facing.



Signature goes here!

Getting tired of games with dozens of different commands. If I wanted that, I'd play Battlecruiser 3000 AD.
