My apologies, this cough's been bothering me for a while.
Blatantly unoriginal design or not, I agree it's the best though. Well...either it or the Japanese Saturn controller. If the PSX one didn't have such an asstacular directional pad, I'd like it best by far.![]()
While true, the thing is the snes controller really needed to be bigger. Plus those fancy little grips go a long way in the comfort zone. And let's not forget vibration function. Then there's the analog sticks and the pressure sensitive buttons. And now the six axis.
It's come a long way and it still works as good as it did on day one.
Also everyone knows the best controller belongs to the N64. Thing was pretty much designed for golden eye the way I see it. Plus it's one of the few contollers on the market that can be used as a grappling hook.
I think size-wise, the SNES controller was fine (but I have small hands and creepy long fingers), but the handles on the PSX one do make it a heck of a lot more comfortable. Controllers without them always feel a little unnatural to me now.
Vibration and analogue, though...eh, I could care less about. I s'pose they were both well-implemented enough, but I grew up with directional pads, and I'll always use them ahead of analogue sticks. And I've never liked vibration since it melted my hands during the latter parts of Star Ocean 2 (Illusion! Illusion! Mirror Slice! Illusion! Mirror Slice!).
And one of the few?Dreamcast, maybe?
It's got...hook-ish...bits. But they're sort of small.
That's my problem, I suffer from what I like to call "ginormous hand syndrome". Basically my hands are about normal proportions, but they're huge. As in "I could probably hide a basketball buy closing my hands together". On the plus side, I can almost play a NES one handed with the old style controllers. For an idea of how that works, hold your hand out palm up. Now move your thumb towards the middle of your hand. Now bend your middle finger. My finger comes to about 1/2 of the way down the left arrow on the d pad. I just need to file down the sharp corners and grow these things a bit more and i can finally do my one man two player double dragon speed run.
You still use the d pads? I used to be like that. But then I started using the sticks. I've never been able to use the d pad on a newer game since. Which I guess kind of works out since a lot of games tend to be using the d pad for inventory management or and that sort of thing these days. Oh yes, and I never use vibration in an RPG. Too many rapid fire attacks and oversized magic spells. The same goes for some racing games.
That would be one of them. Even though the hook bits are small they're not way off to the side like some controllers. I'm pretty sure you could climb a building, at least if you weren't heavy enough to cause the cord to snap.
Didn't the PS3 controller give up vibration for six axis?
As I was walking down the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today.
I wish, I wish he'd go away.
Yes and no, however vibration is coming back due to a suprising and somewhat hilarious turn of events. Apparently the dudes who made a lawsuit preventing the PS3 from having vibration have decided, ah fuck it go ahead.
Hopefully said vibrating sa will be on the market by MGS4 day.
Or as I like to call it, the biggest masturbation fest on the planet combined with the biggest whine fest on the planet.
"OMG MGS4"
"I can't afford it"
Hmm, judging from the lack of someone resurfacing here, I can assume that the random person I ran into today was merely an evil twin of a certain EPite...eper...esper....dude from ep.
Which is fortunate, because if any of you were to come that close to my home, I'd have to kill you. Then rape you.
And with that, I must be off.
You saw my twin? I've been trying to find him for years so I can finally rid this world of his evil.
Off to go see Monday Night Raw.
Look for me on TV![]()
