Razer Atrox Arcade Stick Review: One Game Pony

MWEB GameZone writes: "Razer has release the Xbox One version of their Atrox arcade stick. It's a strong box but does it's functionality live up to that strong outer shell? We put it to the test."

Nice arcade stick. Just a pity about the driver updates.

XBLSkull3390d ago

more curious as to who buys these things to even make them consider manufacturing them.

plut0nash3390d ago

Lots of people looking to play arcade and fighting games, and these have legit components.

If fighting games are your thing, and you can afford it, then GG

lord zaid3390d ago

But isn't Street Fighter V a PS4 exclusive? This stick could be a hard sell

plut0nash3390d ago

You can play on PC, just needs decent driver updates. The Mat Catz looks like a better deal.

I am sure there will be other fighting games on Xbone. Pretty sure the Blazblue developer expressed interest on bringing the series to Microsoft.

Mikefizzled3390d ago

Blazblue has always been on Xbox. The only one that wasn't was Chrono Phantasma beacause 360 discs only had 9gb storage. Chrono Phantasma Extend is inbound this year on Xbox One and I already have it preordered.

Guilty Gear Xrd however isn't coming to Xbox anytime soon. ;(

Sillicur3390d ago

Ohhhhh I want this for SV5!!! :)

SonZeRo3390d ago

Not a fan of fighting games and really wont be paying this price for a fancy gamepad.

Razer Atrox (Xbox One) Fight Stick Review | Marooners' Rock

Robert writes:

"It’s weird, really. A lot of fighting games seem to be swarming on PlayStation 4, but here’s Razer, sticking with the Xbox One, and making a stick that caters to dedicated players of Killer Instinct, Mortal Kombat XL and other fighting games that may be available for the system. Some folks might be scratching their head over this, but there’s probably a reason for this."

Will Microsoft's new strategy foster a happier gaming community?

MWEB GameZone writes: "If your choice of gaming platform is an Xbox One or Windows 10, you are in for a treat this year. Microsoft wants to foster a happy community of players with one goal; to make the Xbox and Windows 10 platforms a fun place to play.

Here is how Microsoft will attempt to achieve their goal in 2015"

plut0nash3326d ago

I have one request: bundle more items in a base console. Play and charge kits need to be there by default.

SonZeRo3326d ago

agreed, getting a controller that takes AA batteries and no charging cable is sucky.

Sillicur3326d ago

Goood point ! one more thing they can do :)

Stiffler3326d ago (Edited 3326d ago )

Great point, I fully agree. It's a bit of a nuisance considering everything else is included in the package. Just a minor con.

I believe Microsoft are onto a nice fresh start since their release screw ups and are now doing great and have their products to now show for it. Win10 and DX12 is gonna be tops!

Sillicur3326d ago

Their fresh start could not have come at a better time. New year, new hope for MS and the Xbox

blackout3326d ago

And the f#×king headset adapter. Come on

Khajiit863326d ago

Haven't owned a Microsoft console in 3 years, totally forgot about that stuff. Spent so much money last gen on the crap, and it would die within the first year.

NuggetsOfGod3326d ago (Edited 3326d ago )

If I have steam why would I want xbl?

Sure xbl is free but so is steam. Lol

Unless xbl will have exclusive games on it then I don't see the significance.

Dx12(console efficiency on pc, easy porting)/free Windows 10 thanks MS that is all.

Playing with xbox gamers is kinda open platform within the bubble of windows.

But would be funny to play with people who are paying to play on a server I get to play on for free at higher performance.

Don't mad at me it's just the facts not my fault.

Kind of comical when you think about.

Xbox streaming to pc meh.

Pc streaming xbox @ 1080 60fps would be nice.

But why buy xbox if I can stream pc to tv using steam link for $50?

Best thing they could do is just port xbox games.

Dx12 seems to be mostly focus on pc and xbl features for xbox gamers with low end pc's.

Imo pc gets all the cool stuff now.

Xbl right now offers pc gamers what exactly? Unless they bring some crazy must have games or features then meh again...

Lennoxb633326d ago

Why would I need steam when I have graphics like this coming to the X1? http://www.icxm.net/team/up...

HanCilliers3326d ago

I like to think so. Good approach from MS, I would just also work on that silly parity clause as well.

Sillicur3326d ago

Indeed, that should be one of their focuses in 2015

DK2L3326d ago

If Microsoft/Windows can pull of any sort of cross-platform integration, seamlessly, I'll be well impressed.

Revvin3326d ago

Once Don Mattrick left Phil Spencer has done a very good job in re-engaging with gamers and promoting the XBOX One as a gaming device and not a media centre that just happened to play games too. His approach has been refreshing to the point its made me re-think about buying an XBOX One after originally deciding to just go with my gaming PC and a PS4 this generation. I have a feeling Microsoft will have a very positive E3 this year.

lord zaid3326d ago

Phil has been killing since he tool over, mainly because he recognised the Xbox One for what it is: A video game console.

WESKER20153326d ago

Microsoft employed a lot of snakes that sabotaged the xbox one launch, double agents don matrick and that bald british geeza who used to work for sony, this is fact, MS dont trust many people now

Sillicur3326d ago

Cant wait to see what they have in store for E3 as well

freshslicepizza3326d ago

what needs to happen is a microsoft all in one store. meaning you buy one licence for the game. that way you can play games like fable legends on the xbox or any windows 10 based system with just one purchase.

right now microsoft is still dangling a carrot because they still don't want the consumer to be totally free of the xbox. thats why people are asking if you can stream from the xbox one to the pc, not just the other way around.

in a couple of years we will have a much better idea of how microsoft is taking the pc platform seriously. one game is not enough. they tried this years ago with shadowrun and basically stopped after but microsoft is taking a whole new approach with windows 10 so we will just have to wait and see.

Revvin3326d ago

Just bought an XBOX One, Forza 5 and Halo MCC to go with my gaming PC and PS4

I really hope cross-platform gaming becomes popular. I personally love the idea

Sillicur3326d ago

Yeh me too, Street Fighter has it too right? and MKX I think :)

All Hail the Conquering Halo 5 Speculation

Gamerz Unite offers a few wild eyed theories and general speculation on what exactly the Halo 5 Guardians #HuntTheTruth campaign is getting at. Could it be something more grounded as ONI/UNSC power and greed? Or might it be something deeper involving cloning and the Forerunner?
