Recently, I found myself playing some old classic games from the Gamecube. I was playing two games specifically titled Luigi’s Mansion and Eternal Darkness. While I was playing these games, something struck a chord in my head.
Wow, this Gamecube controller is one of the worst controllers I have ever played with.
So that got me thinking, what are some of the best and worst controllers ever made [not including peripherals]? Well here is my list, let me know what you think in the comments below. Let’s start off with the worst controllers ever made. Keep in mind that this list only pertains to systems whose controllers I have actually played, not including systems like the Intellivision, Colecovision, Turbo Graphx, etc, which I never played.
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
After a weekend of intense rumors and leaks, Xbox has officially announced its new Virtual Reality glasses.
They are good headsets though, if i didn't already own a 3s I would have picked this one up, it certainly looks nicer than the standard.
Have they tested Xbox app before launching this? It is unplayable on Meta Quest and this seems to be only a marketing movement to say "This is an Xbox". Lag is mortal with the Xbox official app on Meta Quest. It is far better and cheaper to use Steam VR, Meta Link or any other solution, but not Xbox app. Some will be disappointed after buying this for playing Xbox Game Pass streamed games... but... hey! This is a good XR set for connecting to a PC and playing Half-Life: Alyx and thousands of VR titles for PCVR... as well as native Meta Quest titles and apps. Maybe, this will convert more Xbox players to Meta Quest users.
Why would you stream a game while using a VR headset? Sounds like a bad combination
It works flawlessly with a PC through WiFi 6/7 and it gives you freedom, playing PC VR games without wires. You can have full PC graphics and fps with "dumb" light VR set comfort. But... Meta Quest 3S (and any other compatible model) Xbox Game Pass Solution only works as a virtual screen with added lag and lower resolution. It is a bad resolved solution for something that works better without Xbox engraved on the packaging. The Xbox game pad is nice, BTW... but it does not add anything new.. .no haptics, no nothing.
IT'S virtual reality glasses? Lmao! Dont you mean a Meta Quest 3s with a new paint scheme? Why are we pretending this is some new platform?
Exactly, I've seen so many articles saying that Xbox are releasing a VR system. They're not, like you said, it's just a lick of paint 😅
In the VR communities people are excited for this. If I didn't already have a meta quest 3 I would be considering this just for the look and the new controller.
Just like you don’t ask a woman her age, you don’t ask a Final Fantasy fan how many games there are in total.
I don't quiet get who it's directed at. General player? Sure, I can believe them not knowing some of the less popular final fantasy games. But final fantasy FANS? There is nothing forgotten about these games.
Seriously, did someone actually get paid to design that thing...........
.. that the person who wrote the article prefers the PS3. For me the Xbox 360 is the best controller I've ever set my eyes on. The PS3 controller's trigger buttons feels too small..
Been using the PlayStation controller for a really long time that my hands feel naked when using another.
I personally prefer the 360 controller, at least for FPS games. When playing Killzone 2, my thumbs kept touching each other D:
with its non centering analog joystick. the original xbox was huge and hard to play with. i never liked the gamecube controller with its do nothing d-pad an weird sticks.
my favorite controllers,
the dualshock3, the genesis controller, 360 controller, (even though it looses some points for what might be the worst d-pad ever made) then there's the after market stuff like the advantage and the genesis six button controller.
