Final Fantasy VII Rebirth adds a crucial element back into the series according to some of the series' most iconic developers.
A handful of small redesigns and a pair of back buttons make Nintendo’s Pro Controller for Switch 2 a worthy upgrade.
I love this controller. Feels so nice in the hand. Plus the battery lasts for days, it's crazy.
$100 ?????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????? ???????????????
Yea the pricing for Nintendo peripherals is a bigger joke than the game prices. What the hell were they thinking!
i mean for a piece of slightly redesigned plastic with the same take of the last few years this has written GREED all over it ! Shame on Nintendo.
It's $85. The standard Dualsense is $75. The Dualsense Edge (Playstation Pro controller) is $200. The Xbox Elite (Xbox Pro controller) is also $200. How exactly is $85 so drastically insane compared to those prices?
$85 USD
or $75 at CostCo (same standard price as a DualSense)
Even at $85, you're getting 3-4x the battery life of a DualSense, and it is (by a HUGE margin) the cheapest first-party console controller with Back Paddles.
The thing is, over the past decade, third-party controllers have really stepped up. You can often get better quality, more durability, and stronger performance for half the price of first-party options. Meanwhile, controllers from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft have become increasingly mediocre, expensive, fragile, and not particularly impressive across the board. What makes this especially noticeable with Nintendo is that they’re surprisingly open to third-party hardware. That openness ends up highlighting just how much better the alternatives are.
Pretty much most things by half a dozen of chinese manufactures. Like, 8bitdo, Gamesir, Machenike, Gulikit, Flydigi, Manba, EasySMX, etc.
The exception would be really low tier stuff by those companies... those wouldn't be better, they would be about the same quality. But more durable.
Having used Dual Sense, Pro Controller 1, and 8BitDo Ultimate extensively, I am pretty much in love with Pro Controller 2. The easy reassignment on the grip buttons is such a big plus, but the soft edge joysticks are the best feeling sticks of any controller I’ve ever used. It’s really an awesome controller. The HD Rumble 2 also finally has some thud and the headphone jack is great with a pair of good phones. It’s worth the slight price increase IMO.
The pro controller 2 for me has the best weight and size it fits the hand perfect like the duelshock 4 did imo
I actually dislike the duelsense controller because of its size but the features are amazing on it.
Still as for the pro 2 no analog triggers is surprisingly something I dont actually miss
I have the original pro controller and TBH, I don't use it as much. I'm mostly using the Switch in handheld mode with the Hori Split Pad Compact Controller. I also never use the back buttons to program anything so I will not be buying this one here, so that will be $85.00 in my pocket 😂
Techland wants to switch to a shorter development cycle of three to four year at the most for its games, starting with Dying Light: The Beast.
Very good dev length for a AAA/AA game I'd say. Companies need to set an aim for this range. 1-2 is too little, I believe 3-4 is perfect. Any more is too much. Games don't need to be these gigantic games full of a crazy amount of content. Just make a good game.
Legendary gaming auteur Hideo Kojima heaped praise on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, calling it “ideal” for one significant reason.
Greatness knows greatness. Simple as that. Expedition 33 is a masterpiece, built with a smaller team and with a smaller budget, blowing ubisoft out of the water. It doesn't matter how many devs you have and how much money you throw at it, great studios like Sandfall Interactive will always overcome you.
Ideal are you opinions being vacant from any discussion that is not about your own cringy universe Hideo.
The master of Vanity Tech Demos is here to tell us what a good game is. ooooh kay. It's pretty dang obvious without your 2 cents desperately needing relevance. This is just like his GTA grovel a while back. Yuck.
quite honestly, i havent been able to stop thinking about it ha.
i keep playing it
I'm thrilled about it. Everything about ff7 rebirthblooks great so far. Only complaint I could have is I hope they didn't go over board with the wwe tag team sh.
It's going to be amazing. I love how originally the developers kept saying the game was only going to have large zones. Then they just casually dropped the fact that it's an actual open world now. They went above and beyond their own plans for the game, and that's how you know it's going to be an incredible game. I'm taking like 4 days off work when this drops, haha.
i cant wait for this to finally come out, 2 months and a few days and ill finally have it in my hands :)
just give me the game already !
One of the greatest feelings of awe that I had while playing the original FFVII was leaving Midgar for the first time and discovering the vast world map that you could explore. This was the first game that sparked my interest in open worlds and huge explorable maps, and I’m happy to hear that Rebirth will be continuing the trend.
