Kotaku: Dualshock 3 in the House

The DualShock 3 just landed on my doorstep, right next to that pink and green frosting. Even though I've messed around with one before I was still surprised at it's heft. It makes the soon to be obsolete SIXAXIS feel like an empty shell.

These stories are so 2007. :P

joydestroy5866d ago

i know. no one cares. i've had my DS3 for a month and more hardcore PS3 fans have had it since you could first import one.

Now the disbelievers can finally open their eyes.

I got my white dual-shock not too long ago and since then, I don't even touch my Sixaxis controllers......Now if only more games would support it.

feejo5866d ago

Almost 2 years after the Ps3 release they release the controler, wow In't a game called Timeshift?

kevin11225866d ago

where do you get almost 2 years. we still have 8 months before it is 2 years.

i've still used my sixaxis after i got my white dualshock3. but that's only when its battery needs recharging :P
i'll keep my 2 sixaxis though. not worth trying to sell now that it's obsolete.

My two Sixaxis' suit me just fine for the time being (TBH, the only force-feedback device that's got my attention is that sweet Logitech G25 racing wheel), but I'm just curious:

How's the battery life on those? Do you need to charge often, or battery life somewhat comparable to the Sixaxis?

Good their shipping them early, just don't expect any other ( visual ) changes on the pads.
Only a slight added weight and the DualShock3 logo are the only noticable difference.

Sony should now make the DualShock3 as the standard of choice that goes in the box when purchasing a PS3 console.

Had mine for a couple of months now, but really wish Sony had done something about the slippage issue on L2/R2 triggers, plus the small size.
Still thankful it's got "rumble" though.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos5h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis21h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast20h ago

It's worth a play through today.
