Dual Shock THREE

So you really think everything on the controller is as good as it possibly could be?

^^yep everything feels fine in your hand. it\'s not too big or small.that\'s why sony left it almost unchanged when they made the ps2. yo if it ain\'t broke..you know the rest.

I said that same thing when PS2 came out.

**** it, I give up.  If you want to only moderately control accuracy in a FPS then have a ball with your PS2 controller.

Well, the controller has to be a generalist. There are third party controllers that specialize in certain games like FPS.

What game types benefit from the sticks being lincredbly loose?

Cause I know the sticks having controlled movement helps with aiming in games such as halo.

Have you tried TimeSplitters2 on bith XBOX and PS2?
The Dual Shock2 is way better than the S-controller for that game

I find the Xbox controler fits very snug in my hands but is too combersome to opporate. The PS controllers are the best.

Nope, didn\'t really waste my time with that game.

I\'m done posting on it all because my opinion won\'t ever match your guys and a lot of people keep commenting on xbox controller, not even signifying between S and Biggen.

Ofcourse you would waste your time with XBOX games that arent available for PS2 and come up with conclusions about the controllers\' feel?

I really like all three controllers.  They all have their strengths and weaknesses (none of them are perfect!)  Even though none of them are perfect though, I can still enjoy playing games with each of them without the faults of the controller getting in the way.
 
The Xbox has the best Analog sticks, no question about it.  Not necessarily the best positioned sticks, but the overall feel is excellent.  The L/R triggers are slightly too sensitive in many games (I blame the programmers, not the controller).  Like in Soul Caliber or Halo, I\'ll accidentally brush against a trigger, not even pushing it in really, and it will do the move assigned to that trigger.  The black and white buttons are still kind of out of place, (for some reason when playing new Xbox games, I always forget that the B/W buttons exist).  As stated, the d-pad needs improving (PS2 is king in this category) Oh, and the super long Xbox cords rock.  I love the cord break-away feature (Microsoft is teh innovative!!! ?)

The PS2 has 4 shoulder buttons -- something I hope all next gen consoles have.  The analog sticks are a bit slippery though (sometimes when I\'m playing FPSs or something, I\'ll start to feel my finger slipping off.  So I\'ll reach over with my right thumb and hold the L analog in place while I reposition my left thumb back on the stick.)  All of the buttons being analog is great – a feature that should be used in more games.  The face and shoulder buttons should protrude a little more to allow more accurate pressure sensitivity.

Gamecube controller, well, it’s not bad.  It has some problems like the other two controllers, but it is still a great controller.  Nuff said. (this thread is more of an Xbox vs PS2 controller thread anyways.)

For the DS3, I wouldn\'t mind it if they moved the L analog stick to where the d-pad is -- as long as they don\'t put the d-pad in the middle of the controller where the L analog is.  Maybe they could just put it directly below the analog, so both are easily accessible...?  Watch, Sony will get rid of the d-pad altogether to bury 2d gaming once and for all.

Oh, and LIC, are you serious about the SNES controller being one of the best?  If so, you have lost your mind.

I played plenty of FPS on the PS2.  Enough to know the analog sticks aren\'t cutting it.  You\'re really wasting your time if you\'re trying to pin me as pro xbox.

No I am not trying to pin you as pro XBOX.
What FPS hav eyou played on PS2 btw?

TS1
Red Faction1 and 2
MOH Frontline and Rising Sun
007 Agent Under Fire

TS1:Not uvailable for XBOX
Red Faction:Framerate issues on PS2
Moh Frontline:Framerate issues on PS2
007 Agent Under Fire:Frame Rate issues on PS2.

I guess I have to make my font size bigger for you to get it.
The sticks for PS2 suck.

I just know that when I\'m playing a FPS I like a keyboard or the S.  And the black and white buttons aren\'t hard to use on it, as long as you aren\'t a chimp.
