Reggie: No one would want Move when they have Wii

Frod I can’t be bothered to read your bullshit after your first picture link. Obviously you are too young and probably started gaming on a xbox system before you could realize true greatest that was the PS1 and PS2 controller designs that became the “INDUSTRY LEAD CONTROLLER”

Hmm. I’m pretty sure that Sony have released more shooters than Microsoft in this generation. So that doesn’t hold water either.

I don’t really think anyone is denying that the 360 d-pad sucks, but the point is that it’s only used in such a tiny minority of games that it almost doesn’t matter – which makes the positioning of the left analogue on the DS3 all the more baffling.

and that’s an ad hominem argument.

Just one final point, I’m fairly the design of the analogue triggers is more to do with ergonomics, i.e. comfort and ease of use, than trying to look like a gun trigger.

It’s also worth noting that one of the Playstation magazines gave away concave triggers with their magazine once (Gioteck Real triggers I think?). Interesting that no-one has thought to sell convex trigger attachments for the 360 pad however.

reading this thread just makes me want to scream!

both pads have their pros and cons.

yes, I agree.

I guess if you have a PS3, it could be a cool little novelty controller in case any of the entertaining Wii games make the jump.

It just seems to me like it would be easier to buy a Wii and get the actual games that a controller like that was tailored for in the first place. I could see why Nintendo would be threatened by an HD console stealing their controller though, aside from queasy family games, that’s just about their biggest weakness.

Either way, I’m not gonna be dancing and prancing in front of my TV any time soon.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Absolutely. There’s no such thing as the ‘perfect’ pad. Yet.

“The fact that the 360 pad has triggers lets you know what the system is mainly about …shooters…”

*cough*cough*bullshit*cough*cough*

@TEA
Shadowrun was a great game – it was let down by lack of game modes/map for a full price game. Controls and balance wise it was a great game though.

What makes the 360 controller great for shooters is nothing to do with buttons, it’s the sticks. Concave tops and perfect resistance.

Oh how I wish online multiplayer was cross platform. Please if Sony and M$ are reading this let one game become online cross platform play so I can wipe the floor with the people who think they have the better edge with that 360 pad.

both pads work on PC…

You can get an adaptor to use a wired 360 controller on a PS3.

but then you’d be a fool not to use the superior mouse controls

@63, that’s interesting I didn’t know that!

Interesting that it’s the 360 controller on the PS3 and not the other way around

360 triggers are awesome, DS3 has a decent d-pad though.

they’re both okay overall, it’s a matter of preference.

didn’t you hear Frod The PS3 does EVERYTHING!

Apart from ‘work on March 1st’, that is.

I rather take 1 day over an entire holiday break any time of my life Blerk especially when I’m paying for it.

maybe because as you upgrade to hdtv(if one hasn’t already) wii looks like utter shit? 480p doesn’t cut it on large hdtvs.

This thread has made me laugh so much!

Cross Battle Adaptor to allow wired 360 controllers to work on a PS3 … link

XConverter 360 to allow wire PS2 controllers to work on a 360 … link

Lack of PS3 support is probably more related to the lack of a wired PS3 controller.

I challenge G1GA to a match with these cross Battle adaptors to settle this once and for all. COD4 match!

lol.

Which one would I have to use?

It doesn’t matter, you have the set up to record also. I just want to finish this goddamn argument once and for all. I’m comfrontable with either the DS2 or DS3.

IMO, people who will buy this might not have a Wii, or use their PS3 more and will get this as well.

Its hardly like buying a second console.
No one is under the illusion (well, maybe Sony) that this is the ‘new’ Wii, its just Sony’s own offering in this market, an accessory if you will.

It won’t sell like the Wii did, but im sure it will do very well for Sony, and will be a nice extra to have, same can be said for Natal with Microsoft.

I think people, as usual, are blowing this thing totally out of proportion.

Why does anyone need to defend any hardware ever against the acusations of anyone on the internet?

None of this matters. In the purest sense this whole thread is useless.

Enjoy yourselves, buy what you enjoy, sell what you don’t. You will not get a discount from Sony or Microsoft dependent on what you post online.

I don’t mind. I’m ok with both, too. Obviously, I had a PS1 and PS2…

Its not about that elronathon. its all in fun just so we can bust each other balls thats all. You think if G1GA beats me I’m going to be mad….hell no man. This is all just fun

but seriously the DS3 is better

Fine. Well we all know that the Dreamcast is king, everyone ripped it off. It had Shenmue 2, MvC2, Jet Set Radio and Power Stone.

So there.

Dreamcastlol!

I’m gonna punch you square in the chops.

DC pads were cheap and plastic-y with a little LCD screen in the middle for no apparant reason whatsoever.

What was it supposed to be, some sort of tamagotchi??

Wow, SEGA really did make the worst pads in the business.

The worst pad ever HAS to be the Master System controller. Over time, the right and down direction seemed to merge into one single unusable mess.

Jaguar pad says hi!

LOL!

Jesus, I’d forgotten about that one!

Not sure I remember ever using a Jaguar pad.

I might have wanted to make a phone call if I did, though…

looking at that Saturn controller makes me sad . RIP.

Sega really had trouble making a plausible gamepad until DC.

If you take out the LCD you are dangerously close to an original Xbox pad

Both 360 and PS3 gamepads are stellar. They both are really great controllers and it just depends on your own opinion on comfort. I can easily pick up my xbox360 controller and play with it without one complaint. I can easily pick up my DS3 and play with it without a single compaint.
I am more comfortable playing with the PS3 controller though. Its a matter of opinion.

As far as Move goes. If people would look into Move seriously, they will notice the complete advantage it has over the Wii remote. Clearly the Move setup is technologically better than the Wii….but in a casual market, simplicity and word of mouth seems to rule.

@ spiderLAW: if you’re going to insist on being diplomatic you have no place on the internet

how was i diplomatic? i dont really care what people think, it was my opinion on the matter. Isnt that the whole reason of blogging/commenting? correct me if im wrong

i’ve only been posting here for 2days and im already getting tired of the people that react with superiority to comments others have made. Realize that these are all opinions on subjective material for fucks sake.

It was a compliment, I consider being even-handed to be a good thing. The ‘no place on the internet’ comment was irony.

SpiderLAW
Spider = Spiderman fan
LAW = for my last name Laidlaw

ahahahahaha i totally missed that! its hard to understand sarcasm with typed words..Sorry budy!

LOL!

I liked it when you got all defensive about being diplomatic!

“Wow, SEGA really did make the worst pads in the business.”

Please tell me this is a joke?

The DC pad may have been a little plasticy, but its triggers were very much a precursor to the design of the Xbox controller.

The Saturn D-Pad was straight up the best d-pad of any controller that’s ever been made. It was incredibly precise and fluid you actually *could* play fighting games with it, something that most other controllers sucked at.

Also, that “shitty” controller you linked to was the first major analogue controller in mainstream gaming (if not the first analogue stick ever), well before the Dual Shock was released. It may have looked silly, but it felt *great* in your hands.

Not to mention that the Mega Drive controller with its groves and curves was far more ergonomic than that brick that was the SNES controller.

@ G1GAHURTZ
Hahaha I know…. i laughed at myself too….hope nobody reads it *fingers crossed* LOL

O’Connor alert O’Connor alert!

Anyways we have to get this game controller business settled once and for all. And after I beat G1GA I’m coming for the wii mote with the MOVE mote

Let the best gaming controller win.
