So they're kinda like joycons, but with your phone in the middle. Not a bad idea, it worked for the Razer controller. I'm wondering why it interfaces with the device/console though. Unless it's just remote play.

blackblades879d ago

Probably remote play, I still remember they had a mobile section I still got some of the games on vita. Man also remember those ps minis. RIP, I like some of those games I wanted more.

NecrumOddBoy878d ago

PS Minis was a great idea but I didn’t like Sony said they couldn’t have trophies.

Profchaos879d ago

It's a good idea however I wish they continued their Xperia play design approach with a slide out gamepad. A android phone with good specs and a built in gamepad would do really well these days now that gaming on mobile had advanced over what it was when they first tried it.

I would game on mobile way more if it was as simple as slide out controls even if the phone was thicker

EvertonFC879d ago

I so regret recycling my xperia play phone, didnt realise at the time it might be worth something one day.

thecodingart879d ago

Hopefully a phone controller.. finally

excaliburps879d ago

A proper one for Remote Play would be aces. The Vita was OK but it felt too clunky for me.

sinspirit879d ago

I really hope so. I have the GameSir and it's great overall. But I do wish the analogs felt a little better. It would be awesome to have an official controller that works with the regular remote play app

DaniMacYo879d ago

When I was in 10th grade 2004 I would doodle in my books and I often drew a phone attached to a controller to be used like a phone with PS style controls. Just an idea I had I’m sure many others thought of something similar. Pretty cool that they might make something like that.

Microsoft should have left them stay 3rd party

GamerRN5h ago

If they are let go, they can be whatever they want. They ARE 3rd party now... 🤦

Barlos2h ago

Yeah, they're also jobless.

PassNextquestion7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

blacktiger5h ago

that's a shame for you to say that, i'm sure Elite loves hearing what you just said.

Profchaos7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

I wonder if this is part of Microsoft's strategy to abandoned physical media or possibly gamepass advertising makes their roles redundant you don't need to market a game as hard when the majority of players get the game as part of a sub which already promoted upcoming games

Tacoboto6h ago

It's France too, there's a high likelihood only 1-2 people on the team even had an Xbox.

Profchaos6h ago

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Yi-Long3h ago

Well, if your consoles and games are barely found in any stores any more, of course you're gonna struggle finding consumers ...

XiNatsuDragnel5h ago

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

TheColbertinator5h ago

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos7h ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion7h ago(Edited 6h ago)

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola3h ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me
