PS4 and Xbox One have new controllers. We've tried them. We liked them. But is there a winner between the two?
"The Barcelona-based (Spain) indie games publisher JanduSoft and indie games developer Juan-Mod, are today very glad and proud to announce that their 3D arcade action-platformer "Teared", is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch) via digital stores." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord brings back the classic experience with revamped graphics and other improvements.
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
It really depends on what your hands have gotten used to.
If you've always used the PS controller, then the Xbox controller is going to feel awkward in your hands and vice versa. You can adjust to change over time though.
The X1 pad is better!
Does there really have to be an article about the controllers every day?
Getting kind of annoying to be honest.
Also, we can't say anything seeing as we haven't even touched the damn things...
X1 with new sticks that are more responsive and less of a dead zone. new buttons that have more responsive. new triggers with feedback, Led light for player tracking, Wi-Fi direct for better communication and higher quality audio and microphone, new d pad. designed for small and large hands....
Both have features I'm curious about. Rumble triggers sound interesting but nothing too game-changing. The toughpad on the DS4 however looks really promising. I hope its put to good use in games and not something completely overlooked in the same way Sixaxis was.
I'm mostly wondering how the new analog sticks are going to feel. I'm so used to the DS3's triggers I'm not sure how the new concave design will feel. I hear its better and allows more control but I have nothing to base it off of personally so I'm still not certain how I'm going to feel about them.
On a slightly related note I find it surprising that Sony is the only one who listened to fans on the controller. The one thing hated most about the DS3 was the curved L2/R2 buttons. They changed it. One thing people hated most about the Xbox controller was that D-Pad. Yet they still kept it. I don't know why, it seems like it'd be an easy thing to 'fix'.
