Microsoft have an obsession with these d@mn controllers.

anast139d ago

It's like game stop. They make their money on trinkets not games.

Eonjay139d ago

I actually like the design of the new controller. Poor timing to release it though.

anast139d ago

@Eonjay

It does have some style.

dumahim139d ago

If people keep buying them, they'll keep making new ones.

Ra3030139d ago

Ok...that makes sense......Microsoft closes Game Studios because the games those Studios made don't meet Microsoft's sale metrics. Why pay more good money to feed the leaches when they provide no benefit and controllers sell so lets make more. Also the PR messaging "Feel the Burn" was a msg. to all the other Microsoft First Party Studios that if the games you make don't sell you'll "Feel Tue Burn"! Same goes for Xbox gamers they didn't buy the Microsoft games so now they " Feel the Burn" of those games going to PlayStation! so now we know the meaning of "Feel the Burn".....it means somebody bout to loose something!

I clicked the link and I saw these things are $70, the same price as a PS5 controller but with none of the features.

This is just like the memory cards where the price is way out of line with what the product actually is.

Jingsing139d ago

Agree, You are basically buying a 360 controller again.

Skuletor139d ago

On the flipside, two of my PS5 controllers already got stick drift (bought a third recently) and my Series controller is fine. I never had that issue on the PS4.

FinalFantasyFanatic138d ago

They've put out 3 or 4 times more controllers than games at this point, who's collecting all these limited edition controllers and xboxs?

Microsoft might as well imo become a 3rd party publisher because they are soooo tone deaf.

anast139d ago

They are going mobile, which is why they are downsizing.

XiNatsuDragnel139d ago

Lol mobile or 3rd party publisher either way it's bad for gamers

"It's fire... isn't that what the kids say these days? Fire? Let's show them we understand them! Fire!"

Destiny1080140d ago

they sure are milking, that 2 dollar controller

Rimeskeem139d ago

I feel like MS has released more controllers than games this generation.

S2Killinit139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

They know their consumers have not bought games from them, so they need to find another way to get consumer’s money.

Im not joking. I think had there been more games released or upcoming, they would allow the sales to go to the studios.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Review [Capsule Computers]

Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:

"The Dead Rising franchise has always had a certain level of charm to it, especially in regards to the first couple of entries in the series as their quirky designs and colorful style clashed wonderfully with the morbid zombie-slaying and death contained within. As such it only makes sense that the original Dead Rising is something of a fan favorite and has even been given a bit of a remaster before, with the original releasing eighteen years ago in 2006 and a slightly enhanced version a decade later for modern consoles at that time. This time however with Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Capcom has taken a fine tooth comb to this zombie-infested mall to work out some bugs, give the game an entire visual overhaul with the RE Engine, and even added quality of life features at the expense of a few minor elements Is this nostalgic title still as enjoyable today or is it just a shambling corpse with a fresh coat of paint?"
