Come On Guys, The DualShock 3 Sucked

Kotaku - "The original PlayStation controller debuted in 1994. The more familiar DualShock was released in 1997. The PlayStation 3 controller you're using today, well into the 21st century, is almost identical to that 1997 design. Let's think about that for a second. It's now 2013, and if you've got a PS3, you're still using a pad whose shape was conceived alongside spring-loaded disc trays and RGB inputs."

The DualShock 3 isn't perfect, but really, it's fine.

HardcoreGamer3856d ago

i have a friend who plays fighting games, tekken and Sf

he doesnt use sticks, and he cant use xbox pad, so he bought a ps3 pad for xbox, with some converter, but it had slight lag in it, he eventually swapped his console for ps3, and tekken, and didnt like dual shock 3 cuz of triggers,

he went to dualshock 2 again with converter on ps3,

he noticed lag cuz of the converer. lol

he then stuck to ps3 dualshock 3, and is overall happy, cuz the 360 dpad sucked real bad. especialy for fighting games

isarai3855d ago

me and many others are the same, D-pad just gives you cleaner more precise control in fighting games (besides getting an arcade stick)and yes the 360 pad is pure hell for me with fighting games, GOD that D-pad

abzdine3855d ago

i really like DS3, must be the fact that i've been using DS since 1994.
but i have to admit the best controller to me is GameCube controller, except that D-pad that wasn't the best. but regarding grip and how well it sits in the hand it's the best controller i have tried.

ambientFLIER3855d ago

If your friend is so big into fighting games, then why the hell is he using a controller at all, instead of an arcade stick??

Xsilver3855d ago

played allot of games on the PS3 and never had a problem with DS3 so i don't get this article

KnowAll3856d ago

The X360 controller was the best for shooters, the DS3 the best for everything else, but after using the DS4 I love it on everything

Demobot3855d ago

The Xbox controller was great for every game type except fighting games. Racing games are a breeze on the 360 controllet thanks to real triggers.

moparful993855d ago

I hate the 360 pad for racing games from the asymmetrical stick layout and the triggers are way to stiff making modulating the throttle and brake hard to do.. As far as shooters are concerned I am in love with the L1+R1 setup on the ds3.. it feels good to me and my performance in shooters is better on ps3.. so basically what im getting at is its opinion and conjecture not fact..

L1 and r1 setup is stupid.

Anzil3855d ago

I disagree! i find the 360 con to have way to much deadzone to be considered the best for shooters and actually the buttons for ps3 are quicker to use as well. The 360 triggers also have hard tension. it is also hardest to egage L3 and R3 buttons on 360. srry for bad typing lol

Snookies123856d ago (Edited 3856d ago )

The original was poorly made... My analog sticks became squeaky and started to stick with two controllers. The newer ones are definitely better made. I tend to prefer the DS3 over the 360's controller, but they're both decent. I wouldn't consider any of this generation's controllers as being my favorite though personally.

Kurt Russell3856d ago

It was just a little too small for my hands... and I dislike the L+R2 buttons (but that only cost a quid to fix) DS4 looks to have taken note on all those points.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5095d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905095d ago (Edited 5095d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5095d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5095d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495095d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5095d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5095d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
