PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

That looks really awkward. Im not thinking about a PS3 at all but if I was that would help scare me away.

Same. I never liked the playstation controllers and until I can try that controller out for myself, it will stay that way.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

I'm not even interested in PS3. PS3 and 360 are like #1 and #1a. If I do buy a second console, it'll be Revolution just to play the Mario games I grew up playing.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

1. I don't grip my PS2 dual shock even closely to the way the hand model in that animation pretends to be gripping it.

2. How big is that thing? If it's too small then people with big hands aren't going to be gripping it like shown because their fingers will be too long.

3. Also, it would be nice if Sony would get with the program and move their left analogue stick to where the d-pad is right now.

4. The revolution controller really interests me.

That controller reminds of the Boomerang PSOne controllers that were released in the late 90's. Those were some uncomfortable controllers and it even looks like that dude providing the demo on the controller appears to be uncomfortable. I hope that they release some old school PS1/2 controllers also to go with the system as I don't know if I could use this controller.

I can't get too excited yet for the PS3 until announcements are made and I still have the 360 to enjoy.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

until the PS3 improves their online setup, they aren't even a thought in my book.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

mine gives me a blowjob, but I bought a special edition 360

Probably sold out of that one too. Just my luck!

Some people say they really loved those old PS1 boomerage controllers. I'm willing to be that whether or not you like how it feels has a lot to do with hand size and shape. Moreso than with the current dual shock controllers which really only penalize people with very short fingers (one extreme).

Hmm. Seems like the PS3 would be more of a burdon in that area, with the "emotion engine" and everything.

Yeah, "like a steering wheel." I don't drive like that, and its not really comfortable to me.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

I actually like the design of that control. Cept the part where they say the current controls make the wrists go in an unnatural position and become uncomfortable.

My hands are huge, and these current-gen controlers are small enough as it is right now for me.

I have rather large hands and I simply cannot use the dual shock controllers. The shoulder buttons are impossible (for me) to distinguish between (though I'm sure I'd compensate if I owned a ps2) and I find it hard to go from using the thumbsticks to the buttons. Maybe its just me.

3. Also, it would be nice if Sony would get with the program and move their left analogue stick to where the d-pad is right now.

My thoughts exactly, I could not imagine using the d-pad in Halo, COD2 or any game for that matter. Many current games are desinged to be used with the analog stick, but I could not use it in the current configuration on the PS3 controller, It just would not be very comfortable.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

lots of complaints over how it looks. There is no way to tell until you try it.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

Reminds me of the Sidewinder by MS and that controller was bad.

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

I don't have a problem with the shape or button layout, but I do think it looks too thin. Just have to wait and see...

Re: PS3 Controller.. Hands-on

As the Rajon Rondos in this thread mentioned, this controller looks like it will be too small and awkward at the same time.
