Nyko to release new Zero controller for PS3 with rumble and motion sensing

Nyko has announced that a new version of its 'Zero' controller is set to hit the PS3 complete with rumble and motion sensing capabilities. They are marketing it as the first ever controller to offer the best of both worlds and it is due to be released in March 2008.

is there a free in home 30 day trial?

no I'm not joking.

ok i am

[Ri0tSquad]

Its very uncomfortable, the buttons are too small, feels cheap, triggers suck, annoying blinking light (home button) which is constantly blinking, and the dpad is worse the 360's.

[mighty_douche]

D-pad worse than the 360's?? must be bad!

[LevDog]

pointless.. Nyko just needs to stop.. Thier only worth buying thing is thier 4 controller charger. .and the only reason its worth buying cause it doesnt take up a usb port.. Nyko is cheaper than ps3 made products.. but you get what you pay for.. The Dual Shock 3 is coming soon and its usuually a lil more expensive but at least it matches all your other controllers and doesnt look like a sore cheap thumb

[Jamegohanssj5]

I really like the design, but a lot of people say Nyko isn't well at making these things.

[Reggie Fils- Aime]

who cares about anything that the POS3 or Xcrap 3fixme release

the Wii is the future people- Sony and M$ are just going to scam you over and over again while Nintendo gives you what you want- which is great, fun games

[BubblesDAVERAGE]

I haven't seen one of those on this site in a long time theres a general respect for Nintendo but overall the wii is not next gen at all...and it does not suite true gamers but if you think it is thats your idea of a good system then ill stay with the ps3 and 360...

[spectyre]

a new term for Nintendo's fanboys, thanks to your inspiration.

Henceforth, all Nintendo fanboys shall be known as Wii-nies.
So let it be written, so let it be done.

[Fat Bastard]

Wii-nies. I love it, that's just freakin hilarious. As far as "the best of both worlds goes" I have a nice white dualshock 3 from Japan that is way better than this third party junk. It looks kind of dumb too.

[snoopgg]

If anyone is getting scammed this generation, it is you my friend. The wi is scamming you and you don't even know it. First, it is no where near next gen with graphics on par with last generation. Secondly the lackluster softwhere lineup nintendo has going right now is a laugh. Last but not least, nintendos online is also a joke.If you like that underwelming, machine then more power to you, but no hardcore gamer is going to choose the wi over the other two next gen consoles. If anyone is losing out, it is you, don't be scammed by nintendo, jump on board with a ps3 or 360, you won't be disappointed.

[IzKyD1331]

the wii is fun and all if you like swinging your hand back and forth, but in terms of power, it barely outmatches a blender

[eddierivera]

I was just talking to my friend about how crappy the ps3 controllers are, I spend like 50 bucks every 2 months for one cause the analogs are fragile. It sucks cause i play alot of call of duty and when it really affects my aiming, specially when im sniping.

It says its got rumble with back lit lights? thats just sic dude,, my girl is always like,, what buttons square? now she can just take a second and look down,, sweetness,,,

The design looks good too,,, im not too flashy so i dont care about the dumb color scheme it has, but it looks like i might have a comfortable handle on the controler,, it would be so nice if they would put the trigger button on the R2 button, cause racing in burnout would be so much nicer.

[theBishop]

I notice they're going with the USB dongle on that... This is getting annoying with 3rd party PS3 peripherals. First it was Logitech, then Rockband guitars, now this.

I thought the PS3 was supposed to use standard Bluetooth. Why aren't peripherals tapping into that?

[games4fun]

buy it but nyko isnt best at making these kinds of things so i'm a little skeptical

[kewlkat007]

they changed the Analogs....I would of gone out and buy one today.

[games4fun]

judgeing by the picture the sticks are dented in like the 360 controller

[kewlkat007]

a 360?

[games4fun]

but my roommate in college has one and i have a ps3 so its kind of best both world for us might get a wii to play pirated games i heard it was completely hacked

how can you not see that the joysticks are the same as the 360's the only difference is the placement its down instead of up on the left side of the controller but the pick up above clearly shows it being dented in

[Kirstenlottesovs]

I think he meant the analog stick placement, and i have to agree with him.. Controllers with the same analog placement as the 360 just matches better with the hand imo...
If they replace the analog sticks like the 360 controller i'll be getting one on the release date.

[Bnet343]

In my opinion, that is one ugly ass controller.

[games4fun]

they should have gone for a smoother look for crying out loud the screws should be on the bottom, half that size (screws) and the same color as the rest of the controller what are they thinking? not to mention the controllers should be all one color (one completely white and one completely black)

[avacadosnorkel]

these are on shelfs at SAMS CLUB. They've been there for at least a week now. I saw this there when I went last week. I didn't buy it because I don't need any more controllers and I didn't know they were rumble. Doesn't matter...I have 2 DS3 pads

[Mattearl]

You know what pulled me in...

The Zero is the first controller to feature heat dissipating aluminum panels.

Yeah!!! *Sarcasm*

[kalel114]

Bluetooth and it's ugly. I can wait till the DS3 comes out.

[beoulve]

I got Zero... pretty uncomfortable. I keep accidentally pressing the R3 button when playing COD4. I'm going back to PS3 controller better.

[Reggie Fils- Aime]

why release any controller when the WiiMote is the most advanced controller out there and no one can match it

[aiphanes]

The wiimote is good, but anybody can copy the wiimote design and implement it on the PS3...they just have not done it yet...heck they could to it with the original wiimote...if they really wanted to...remember the wiimote is bluetooth 2.0...somebody just needs to make some drivers on the PS3...

[Bnet343]

Another one of these idiots.

[DarkSniiper]

all these 3rd party company's are having to come to the rescue with new designs. Just sad.

[Bnet343]

What the hell? I thought you were a ps3 fanboy?

[beoulve]

DarkSniiper,
Not DarkSniper
Faker

[Sony sucks balls]

That's exactly what I thought.

[mintaro]

that's a fugly controller, just stick to the dualshock 3

[gambare]

if they put some 360ish style controllers for the ps3

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Sounds like somthing Sony should have done, like from the begining XD

[DFresh]

Just buy yourself a DS3 controller online on either ebay or www.play-asia.com.
This gen the only controller to use is the SIX AXIS Style controller.
Wii controller is pretty gay w/ the swinging.
360 controller is just too spread apart to hit any buttons fast enough and like the original controller it's boxy and fat around to reach.
DS3 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TwissT]

I really hope the controller does not look like the one in the image, cause that thing looks UGLY! The d-pad is bad, the analog sticks are way to close together which means less range of movement the buttons seem like they are not pressure sensitive the list goes on.

[Doctor Strange]

How much does this cost, it looks bad and probably is but it would be an ok alternative until the offical DS3 comes out in the states then I would just trade this in. I might just import the DS3 anyway though.

[ELite_Ghost]

i'll buy it for 30$ max

[lildave0500]

i think that the new PS3 controlers look really gay they sould stick to the old one

[timmyp53]

Logitech?

[kalistyles]

Does anybody know when the Dualshock controllers are coming out in America?

[sick1nyne]

Do yourself a favor & hope over to ebay.com. Type in Dualshock3 and buy a controller like I did. Took 4 days to get it & it's great. Rumbles w/ every game I tried so far (Devil May Cry, Burnout Paradise, Resistance: Fall of Man, Unreal, ETC. ETC.).

I know people say they don't care or notice games now w/out the feature. But trust me, when you get it back..you will realize what has been missing from the PS3 experience.
