Microsoft to Redesign Xbox 360 Controller?

Re: Microsoft to Redesign Xbox 360 Controller?

Actually reading the article it is total speculation.

They've heard that a new alternative controller may be in the works for first person shooters and actually not to replace the default 360 pad.

Also, the picture showed may or may not have anything to do with MS's new idea. It's just IGN thinking of the trackball controller they tried recently.

I also have no problems with fps's on the 360 pad but if there is something better it'll certainly be worth a look. Just think of the Wii and Red Steel

Oh and the movie was Kindergarten Cop.

which would obviously change...

the article showed a prototype controller that was planned for the ps2.

I just skimmed the article, but thanks for the info.

A trackball controller that works with the upcoming MS camera = MS FTW.

How can they make it so the ball can still move every way but still not fall out of the contoller?

Im definately getting the camera when it comes out though. Playing Uno online and being able to see my actual friends is gonna be really cool.

They would make it just like the old trackballs. Not talking about the mice with the top ball-trackball looking thingy.

Co-sign.

The controller we have now is perfect or close to it, this one seems kind of cheap and is ugly.

That thing is hideous! I like the 360 control as is (though the bumpers could use some work...they seem a bit high for my tastes).

Soom good quotes in that movie:

Detective John Kimble: Emma, take your toy back to the carpet and sit down.
Emma: I'm not a policeman, I'm a princess!
Detective John Kimble: Take your toy back to the carpet!
[softly] Emma: I'm not policeman, I'm princess.
Detective John Kimble: TAKE IT BACK!

.....That's a Playstation controller?


I didn't bother reading the article, but why does that look exactly like a Playstation controller

Because it is. IGN is just speculating, that they think Microsoft may have got it's hands on this controller, and the two companies may be working together on this possible alternative controller.

This is what was said, and everything else is pure speculation.

• Walker noted that Microsoft is looking at ways to modify the right analog stick on the controller to make it more conducive to the precise movements used in shooters and various other genres. This controller would not replace the original controller, and would merely be an option available to players looking for a more advanced control scheme.

• Walker reiterated that Microsoft does not yet have any concrete plans for the workings of such a device, nor is there any projected release period. Rather, it is something under consideration by Microsoft's hardware development teams as a long term possibility.
