The next generation of consoles have been revealed, but which one is going to win over the majority of gamers?
For me, the controller is a big part of the gaming experience.
A good controller to me is one that gives you a good feel, enables you to have a nice flow when playing games and to access everything the console has to offer at ease.
I've always been a big fan of the 360 controller and Microsoft has, to my surprise succeeded in improving the look. I honestly didn't think it could get any better than the 360 controller. I love the new textures on the edge of the analog sticks, the improved triggers which will have a functionality to change the amount of pressure required to push down on them, the new integrated battery which gets rid of the bulk from the 360 controller, the improved d-pad which will give gamers much more ease to use and the overall look of the controller, which has really impressed me.
Sony has taken the Dualshock which many of us love and improved it even more. The new controller looks like it will have a great feel to it. The size has been improved from the Dualshock 3, the controller itself being wider, the triggers' improved and the handles longer to make it a controller that will feel great to hold. I'm also optimistic about the new touchpad, which could have good potential in not just games, but making the home screen interface a lot easier to use. This pad could enable gamers to scroll through the weapons or items they're carrying, use pinch and zoom for things like gun scoping and navigating around the home screen and swiping could allow players to do attacks a lot easier in games and, again, provide easy navigation on the home screen or in any game menu.
Another thing I like about the Dualshock 4 is the light bar which
will easily let us know who's controller is who's when playing multiplayer. Also, it was mentioned in the PS4 conference that the PS4 eye will have the ability to tell where the controllers are in the room and change the split-screens accordingly, which gets rid of the annoying "You're in my spot" situations.
The Dualshock 4 has a built-in microphone and headphone jack. This will be great for chatting to friends, and has the potential to be great for interacting with voice-required actions in games.
And Finally, PS4's controller has the 'share' button. This will allow gamers to take screenshots or in-game recordings and upload them to the Playstation community quickly and easily.
On looks, the Xbox One controller gets my vote. But overall, Sony's Dualshock 4 wins it for me. It has so many new features to offer gamers which will provide them with the best possible gaming experience.
What's your opinion on the new controllers? Please let me know, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
After the release of the horrid avatar update, Pokémon GO fans are trying to get items refunded. This has led to some getting threats of being banned.
Shift Up has released Stellar Blade day one update 1.002 on PS5, and those who preloaded the game should be notified of this update.
Do you really not know this is about the n-word or are you saying that black people can't get offended because it upsets you?
I can't believe they're censoring this game on day 1. Games just aren't the same.
/s in case it's needed. I'm fine with them making these changes that they might not have known is culturally insensitive to some people in the big ole world. But that's just me.
They are censoring something that is deemed offensive by Journalists quoting the offensive term verbatim. They are typing it intentionally in articles while in the game it's a wall texture saying Hard next to a unrelated 3d model sign that says R store. Is it offensive or not? Crazy town.
At least IGN just shows the term with a screenshot of the game. Because it's their "discovery" and to not show hypocrisy in their HUGE vitue signal.
Hard R is the not offensive way to describe an offensive term. Are they going to type "Ha$$ R" or not use the term now?
Oh, hey, I agree with you that IGN and other journalists are dumb. Not disagreement there. But, I think for a game going out to millions of people across the world? It's not something they want associated with them. It's just horrific PR.
Add to the horrific PR nightmare that this is the first major Korean-developed Sony-published title, if I'm not mistaken.
There aren't that many Korean developed titles in general. And the allowance of this only would drive a bigger fissure in east vs west especially after Final Fantasy XVI released featuring no black characters at all...
Not a good look for Sony regardless of how you personally feel about it or the people that talk about it.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been changed. It's an easy fix and looks like it was an easy fix.
But the word HARD being too close to the letter R being a horrific PR nightmare and a indication of a racist developer is beyond crazy.
I'm offended by the sight of blood a d violence and find violence to be very insensitive...
We can all play stupid and pretend to be offended by graphics and fake worlds.
I really enjoyed the demo.
I'm going to play through and max out on story mode then go to the challenge mode afterwards.
This game is very challenging but fun.
Especially for timing on the parrying and blocking.
Got the Deluxe Digital Edition (PS5) pre ordered.
:)
Poised to make its mark, Stellar Blade is a stylish adventure but, will it cut through the competition to soar past comparisons?
There's something about sonys controller needing no complete overhauls that speaks volumes about them to me. They've just made updates to keep it up to date and that's that. Its always felt like ms has had to play catch up with the controllers.
PS4's new D-pad looks epic. Can't wait to try it out with that new Guilty Gear XRD or some other 2D fighting game that comes out on PS4.
Hands down the new xbox controller is still simply the best.
Parallel analog sticks will always be inferior to offset analog sticks. This is why 3rd party controller makers NEVER make a parallel controller setup for the xbox system and they ALWAYS make an offset analog controller for the PS systems.
Not to mention, forcing your thumbs to be in a position they were not ment to be in causes arthritis. Our thumbs naturally point upwards, this is why the xbox controller is simply the best controller on the market. Now with the updated d-pad, there is nothing on any controller that is better then the xbox controller. I will be buying XO day one if not for the total entertainment package....but for the controller as well.
