Xbox 360 and PS3 Controller Combined (Mod)

slashgamer writes: " I personally like both controllers and the way I choose which controller I find best depends on what game I'm playing.

For instance, for a first person shooter, I find where the analogs are better placed on the Xbox 360 controller. However for a fighting game, the D-pad and feel of the 360 controller is just awful. That is when I choose the Dual Shock."

Nifty. Lol. He replaced the X logo on the dome with the PS logo.

Sarick6021d ago (Edited 6021d ago )

Why even bother, All that needs done is the d-pad needs changed to a low profile analog rocker on the controller that has height adjustment. Then it could be multi-purpose. The trick is getting the analog sticks to feel like d-pads when set low profile or like analog sticks when raised up.

- or -

Features that allow analogs to be repositioned with the buttons and d-pads. Then no one could complain about their positions.

Anyway, maybe they should mass produce a few of these and give one or two to that Gametrailers video editor that said 360 is superior to PS3 because the controller. Couldn't find the link T.T

I wouldn't mind having that for R2 and Killzone 2. There is nothing wrong with the Dual Shock 3 but I would just like to try that control too.

pathetic fanboys6021d ago

is the best pad i've ever used imo. just a shame about the crappy d-pad. but, if it had the d-pad of the dual-shock?? it would make it even better.

although, for me, when i'm playing pro evo soccer, nothing plays that game better than a dual-shock. it feels better imo. and because i dont yet have a ps3, i dont buy pes games.

PS controller is better.

I agree. I don't know if it's that I used the DS for years before I held a Xbox controller (first one I held was the large version) but my hands just love the DS controller. That doesn't mean the 360 controller isn't great, my hands just enjoy the feel of the DS more.

Man_of_the_year6021d ago

Can't stand the DS controller - the tips of my thumbs keep hitting each other when i am playing.

socomnick6021d ago

lets us not forget about the dualshocks weak triggers.

thats pretty cool i say it looks more like an xbox controller but buttons are more on the playstation side

solidt126021d ago

Don't forget, to enable that thing to work on the PS3 he had to add Bluetooth. Sweet.

Truplaya6021d ago

thats awesome, the 360 pad but with a PlayStation D-pad is what i want.

To MaximusPrime - the left analogue has to go there, doesnt the PS3 pad hurt your hands after playign for more than 20 minutes? Maybe i have big hands but i dont like the PS3 pad, gives me cramp

The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.

I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.

Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.

FullmetalRoyale1d 1h ago

That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.

Thanks for saving me a click! Doing the Lord’s work.

Didn't want to go that hard, but kinda felt a little baity to me.

Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.

Peter Molyneux recalls how Project Milo, the Kinect game with revolutionary promise, died a death

Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.

Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.

I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.

S2Killinit3d ago

Missed opportunity? They lied. It was the biggest lie in gaming history.

merlox3d ago

You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.

It was built on lies Peter...you know this.

isarai4d ago

Bro that thing NEVER existed, what we got was a concept video

Knushwood Butt3d ago

"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.

"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."

Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.

Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.

isarai3d ago

Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?

Amplitude3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
