Default The Controller



Has this changed anyone's mind ? Me, personally, it makes me not like the controller even more.

It seems soo uncomfortable. Although, I can't judge it untilI hold it myself.

I still reckon that the "Duke" is the most comfortable controller out there...especially for those of us with big hands..

Can't see any image in the first post only a black square
So far the best controller I've played with is the 360's.

I was a sony lover until i got my xbox and i fell in lurrve with the controller, and the 360 is even better, so comfy, sits perfectly.

And that ps3 controller could well put me off getting a ps3, hideous

You're in for a treat. I thought the Duke was good until I held the 360 controller.

The Duke was comfortable, but very ugly.

There's no escaping the fact that the Playstation 3's controller looks like one of those 5 quid Playstation 2 controllers that breaks within a few times of usage but I can imagine this controller being well nice to hold.

It looks like it's going to be a very weird controller to get used to, but I suppose I'll just have to wait until I can actually use one before passing any real judgement.

Doesn't look like it'll be as god as the DualShock, though.

At least when you throw it in frustration it'll come back to you, though...

I never liked the dualshock, too hard and stiff. So far my most confortable controller was the Gamecube's! Seriously that controller owned, but not thats all changed after I held the 360's controller ... =)

I've played playstation for many years and the dual shock was good, good to hold but th 360 is the best till now good to hold and to play. I didnt like to play allied assault with it. No accuracy shooting.

This new one, if the sticks are better then it can rock, but ill not buy it!

I loved the dual shock, but I never bought a shooter on the PS2 or PS1 ( except Red Faction), but otherwise I couldn't imagine playing a fps on there.

Actually yeah... that's a problem I had with the Playstation Dualshock, and Dualshock 2 controllers- the sticks were very insensitive. You could move the stick slowly to one side with no effect, and then upon reaching a certain distance, it'd suddenly jerk the camera, or whatever else you were controlling, across the screen. It made sniping in games a bit of a hassle.

Computer mice for the win.

No one can argue the Gamecube has the best controller but I am really getting used to the 360 and it feel very clean**(metaphor)and it comes a very close second. But whoahhhno the ps3`s contoller is a mess I thought it was a joke. It be the best controller for using it as a boomerang but I dont think people use their controllers as boomerangs do they???

You mean where was I?...eh...canoeing.

I never liked the gamecube controler, I hated that stupid C-Stick made it a pain for playing games with dual anologe control.

You didn't like the Gamecube controller?

You must have abnormal hands.

Heh, ok then. It's been perfectly suited to most games I've played, though, and that's quite a wide variety. TimeSplitters, Madden, Pikmin, Mario Kart, Pro Evo. Various different styles of game, and all have been fine for me.

Fits the hands perfectly as well.
