Ben Salter of MMGN: Nintendo slapped control sticks on a tablet. Sony jammed a ridiculous touchpad into its 16-year-old controller. Microsoft will, by all reports, ignore all of that nonsense and rehash its perfectly serviceable Xbox 360 controller for the next generation.
That’s totally fine. I’m actually happy to hear it and here’s why:
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rumors indicate that Palworld will soon enjoy a raise to the level cap, but this isn’t the only way that Pocket Pair should expand the endgame.
TheGamer recently spoke with lead editor Josh Malone and senior translator Dan Sunstrum about their work localising the Like a Dragon series at Sega.
"Sony jammed a ridiculous touchpad into its 16-year-old controller".
Obviously the writer of this article didn't care to see the other features that are good about the DS4. The fact that the triggers are now curved up slightly (not nearly as much as the 360's thank goodness), it has convex AND concave analog sticks, color coded light for which controller is which, the "share" button, which is probably my favorite thing about it, and a redone more Vita-like D-pad. It looks to be an all around improvement. If you're trying to say the 360 controller needs NOTHING to be improved, you're wrong. The 360 controller is good, don't get me wrong, but nowhere near perfect. If Microsoft doesn't even try to improve it, that'll just show me that they're not trying hard enough.
I dont think i'm ready to game without controllers.
Because the recent rumours suggests it hasn't got a new controller and the author of this piece wants to play his hand early?
The DPAD is garbage on the 360 controller. That in my opinion needs to change.
Even though I don't like the positioning of the analog sticks it isn't a design flaw just a preference issue.
