It is the equivalent of a Hollywood star getting caught slinging racial slurs, or going crazy and shaving their head. This is Tony Hawk RIDE, and from the moment the gaming world saw it, we knew it was destined for failure. It always sucks having to write reviews like this, because I know that somewhere within Activision someone is going to see it and get a bit miffed. And I'm not the type of person who enjoys hurting feelings, but I am the type of person who likes to tell it how it is. And quite frankly, Tony Hawk RIDE is a gimmicky joke."
No one wants to use these wonky game controllers. No one.
Never say no one. There’s always going to be someone who’s contrarian who’s gotta say they’re actually a fan of one of these
i had the jaguar and cd32 and yeah, their stock controllers werent all that. They got the job done but there were better ones. The 6 button jag controller felt better to hold and incorporated more sculpting for the hands and fingers to reach the number pad easier. And the competition pro cd32 was like a genesis controller in shape and comfort. Way better than the stock one.
As for kinect, it worked, it was fun but i liked the non gaming uses for it. some people got pretty creative with reverse engineering that thing.
The Ouya controller was incredibly poor. Looked nice but quality of doad buttons triggers was that of a cheap knockoff you get for £1.99 on ebay
Looking back at gaming history often throws up some questionable things - including awful games, bad consoles, and terrible peripherals.
That intel wireless gamepad was the inspiration for the 360 wireless racing wheel (and that works really well). I'd say one the author forgot would be the activator from sega.
It's amazing that there are so many different kinds of video games, but there are certain ones that will leave you looking pretty silly.
