GamesBeat: We wrap up our exclusive deep-dive look at Argos — Microsoft’s code name for the next-gen joypad — right in time for the system’s launch tomorrow. We examine the new haptics system, plus how the company optimized the design of the controller for comfort, functionality, and four-hour blocks of shooting things.
The pre-load for Activision and Iron Galaxy's Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 is now available, and the download size has been revealed.
I wish they’d do a proper switch 2 update for Tony Hawk 1+2 me and my 7 year old daughter love playing it in split screen and it plays great but it looks absolutely terrible. I would say it looks like the resolution drops down to about 540p in order to keep the framerate up.
The Ace Combat series celebrates its 30th anniversary, and Bandai Namco revealed interesting initiatives, on top of a poignant message.
That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.
what a dumb take.
Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.
I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly
^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.
@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.
@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.
It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.
If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.
In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.
The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.
Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
Getting a victory in Fortnite Battle Royale is more more challenging after the recent change.
You know, I suspected that the wireless controllers aren't as fast as they could be. I noticed I'd play slightly better with wired controllers. I wonder if they're now as fast as wired, or if that's even possible?
I'm definitely a skeptic when it comes to the idea of wireless ever being as lag free as a direct wired connection (even then, some inferior wired input devices lag).
I also think the non-hardcore consumers do notice input lag, but they miss diagnose the symptoms for something else. I believe a lot of people experience the lag and think that it is their fault. That they are just not activating their inputs quick enough. "I'm getting older and apparently my reactions aren't what they use to be." They may even think there is something wrong with the game itself and not the hardware.
"I mean, this is a state-of-the-art game console with space aged wireless technology, right? How could it possibly be worse at registering inputs than my wired NES controller from 1985?!?" -- Bewildered consumer that keeps shooting later than everyone else in Call of Duty

The wifi addition to the Xbox one controller is a pretty big deal as far as batt life and reducing lag.
But nothing compares to the battery life on the Wii Pro controller. So it doesn't rumble and may not be quit as refined or comfy as ms or sony controllers, but dang that sucker has an 80 hour battery life.

I heard the battery life in the controller is crazy..
