So in other words, the guy that hates the Wii 'cause he can't sell his engine for it wants MS to use it's controller ideas anyway.

Well we already knew that.  The first part anyway.

It feels like a good quality controller as does the Wii-Mote.

Coincidentally I picked up a PS3 controller today for the first time and to me it didn't have the same quality feel as the other two.

That's because it's light.  The Dualshock 3's should be heavier.

IMO, more important than the mentions of extraterrestrial aeronautical design is his pretty clear wish that 360's controller was more like the Wiimote. Is this the same Cliffy B we used to know?

 

Maybe he played a FPS on the Wii recently?  Guy is an ass... but it's hard to deny how much better the Wiimote can be utilized compared to dual analog.

yeah he is a jackass anyway.... fewer buttons ??? is he serious ??? I mean come on  GoW uses almost all of them, and most of the games I play do.

it does look like alien spaceship, I don't see that as a problem though, it's probably the most ergonomic pad out there...

Which is why you'd need to replace said buttons with additional user interface... like the Wiimote does.

i think its better that the first xbox's controller and i think that its fine the way it is now ps3 first controller design looked more like an alien spaceship but most people dont look at a controller and think of a spaceship

Cliff B is not a very intellegent person. That is why he is complained about the amount of buttons on the controller

I think the Xbox controller is fine as is. Having played a fair amount FPSs on the PC it is a lot easier to aim with the pointer/wiimote tho I prefer the mouse. I play all my analog FPS on max sensitivity and it still holds decent. TBH I would not like the use of motion control on a controller for much of anything in an online enviroment. Thats just my opinion tho.

And does anyone take Cliff Blezinski serious anymore? He seems to be on a roll with quesionable thoughts lately.

well good for FPS and Wii like games but I like my pad too for some games I don't see the benefit of motion controle and also I don't want to have to stand up for all my games, I also play to lay back and relax sometime

I see your point, it's just coming from him it's irritating lol
