Po!nt game controller, TreeTech´s unique and creative game controller

I (Robin Ek, The Gaming Ground) have tried, seen and read about many different kinds of game controllers since the early 90s. Even so, I haven´t seen a controller quite like TreeTech´s wireless Po!nt Game Controller. It looks really cool for sure, but is it any good?

Liking very much the idea of modular aspect and inter-changeable face plates ( think this could be the best way/option for future application with the Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft control pads - the XBox One Elite is already doing this in a way ), but do worry TreeTech's control pads isn't durable enough.

Good points, and I´m somewhat afraid that the controller will break rather easily :S

DashArrivals3467d ago

There are a breed of gamers who are serious controller twisters. I would highly advise they steer very clear of this particular controller.
Last generation I was a controller slammer, but I have since graduated to couch slapping. So a controller like this may work for me, but I'm quite fond of my DS4s. :D

TGG_overlord3467d ago

I actually thought about that, for example. I highly doubt that the Po!nt controllers would survive all that long if the player in question plays Halo or COD (Xbox players are well known for going bananas while playing online).

That had me f###ing laughing, my coworkers were like wtf after i read your post in the office.

TGG_overlord3467d ago

That´s another way to see it xD Now you´re playing with boobs! :P

Simon_the_sorcerer3467d ago

Ehrm...Is it just me or does the Po!nt controllers look like two hockey pucks that have been attached to each other? xD

TGG_overlord3467d ago

To be fair, you´re not the first person that has pointed that out :P

MurDocINC3467d ago

Looks like boobs to me, yea horny mind.

DVAcme3467d ago

My main point of concern with this controller is how comfortable it is in your hands, cause that ball shape looks rather uncomfortable and possibly slippery. IMHO, you just can't beat the double grip design.

TGG_overlord3467d ago

That would be my nr 1 concern as well, I´m also somewhat worried that the controller will break down in just a couple of weeks...

Relientk773467d ago

It looks like a big ridiculous bow tie

TGG_overlord3467d ago

So, we got pucks, boobs and now a bow tie so far xD

Relientk773467d ago

I can see all 3 of those lol

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off

Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need

Flewid63810h ago

I've never owned an Xbox in my life and I have GamePass.

thorstein9h ago

The only Xbox I owned was the 360. I have gamepass for my PC.

Majority of Gamepass users are currently on console...

Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.

Dark SNES Games Not Made For Kids

As consoles go, the SNES has quite the family friendly image. But, just like a Pizza Hut when you look at its hygiene rating or taste its pizza or breathe inside a restaurant, it’s not always good for everyone.

The golden age. No ESRB*. No ratings at all. It was glorious.

*I know the ESRB was formed by the industry to prevent others from stepping in and taking control.

Darkegg1d 19h ago

Interesting on ESRB. “ The industry, pressured with potential government oversight of video game ratings from these hearings, established both the IDSA and the ESRB within it to create a voluntary rating system based on the Motion Picture Association film rating system with additional considerations for video game interactivity.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/...

Is that how the industry isn’t required to offer consumers a transferable digital token to sell games they no longer play or maybe don’t like? And then treat us all like pirates? That’s how the government is not involved, they had to placate the situation to avoid oversight.
