Push Square: "It’s been almost 16 years since the PlayStation’s primary input device last demanded real scrutiny. The introduction of the DualShock in late 1997 ushered a new standard for video game control that hasn’t changed a whole lot over the past decade and a half. Sure, the peripheral has been host to a handful of tweaks over the years, scooping up accelerometers and spongy triggers along the way, but many of its changes have been iterative rather than evolutionary.
"However, the DualShock 4, the brand new controller bundled with the PlayStation 4, represents the classic design’s greatest progression since its very inception. And yet, beneath its impressive list of improvements remains a device that’s still reminiscent of its predecessor from yesteryear. But could Sony’s latest peripheral be the greatest input device ever conceived? The jury’s still out, but the signs are certainly reassuring."
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.
Looking forward getting a hold of the controller. The improvements have been made in all the right places plus those extra innovations will be something to behold.
The DS3 left a lot to be desired for me personally but from what I've read and heard, the DS4 is a marvel to hold.
Let's see.
"...it melts into your hands like ice cream into the grooves of warm Belgian waffles."
I just finished breakfast an hour ago and I'm already hungry again.
nope, my vote goes to the mouse.
Well, if you're a PS guy, then, yes, I imagine that it would be the 'greatest ever input device'.
Ultimately, we'll have to wait until we can get our hands on it, but at the very least, it's looking to be a significant improvement over the DS3.
"...it melts into your hands like ice cream into the grooves of warm Belgian waffles."
Jesus...
"...it melts into your hands like ice cream into the grooves of warm Belgian waffles."
I don't know if that made me horny or hungry...
