360 and GC controllers are the best ones.

Root4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

The Gamecube controller was nice, shame they didn't have an improved version for the Wii U as the standard controller

However the 360s is nice but only when playing shooters

If I had to pick it would be the Dual Shock controller, it's a good all rounder controller that fits many different genre games.

It has some flaws but not everything is perfect is it

EDIT:

See I have average sized hands though so it's perfect for me. All they have to do next gen for the DS4 is make it a touch smaller for people with larger hands or they could bring out an official "bigger" controller.

As I said though not every controller is perfect, they all have their flaws

NYC_Gamer4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

I would agree,if the DS controller wasn't too small for us people with big hands.

"However the 360s is nice but only when playing shooters"

The 360s is good for everything, except fighting games.

Root4107d ago

@Kalowest

Well thats your opinion, I think it's still good but only shines when on a shooter while the PS3 is good for all types of genres.

Anyway

In the article

"So, in the end, the Xbox 360 wins the best video game controller, just due to pure satisfaction while using it. A bad d-pad design means you'll want to get your fighting games on the PS3, but aside from that, the 360 has the PS3 controller beat in nearly every aspect, making it the best available video game controller today."

Again it's his opinion, but he makes it sound like fact

Canary4107d ago

No. Good God, no.

The best controller is a Bluetooth controller. a Bluetooth 360 controller with a Sony D-Pad would be -perfection-.

NYC_Gamer4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

I like the 360 controller because it fits inside my hands perfect

Kalowest4107d ago

The 360s(which is a modified dreamcast controller) and the PS3s

greenpowerz4107d ago (Edited 4107d ago )

I like the ergonomics of the 360 controller and the size. What set this controller apart and what makes it so appealing to core gamers is the stiff spring loaded triggers and pressurized feel to the triggers and sticks giving a superb resistance for unmatched feedback to the gamer and game. Alot of developers go out of their way to develop games that use this stellar sensitivity/control for optimum feedback.

Inferior controllers you just push a button with simply two actions, go or no go. On xbox you play a game like Forza and you have a very sensitive accelerator/braking for example.

I was wondering about the new Wii U core controller. Does it have the same analog stick resistance and trigger spring resistance?

pr0t0typeknuckles4107d ago

the dualshcok is the best controller the d-pad is perfect, the placement of the analog sticks not to menmtion the feel of the analog sticks,the triangle, circle, square, x,was easier to memorize, the only thing holding it back is the shape which is where the 360 controller shines but its really not a big deal, id take dualshock over any controller anyday of the week, its just near perfect.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 21h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 1h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie15h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 3h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 1h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 1h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii12h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno10h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
