Revised controller?
« on: June 28, 2006, 07:27:48 AM »
I\'ve seen rumors that the controller has changed again, possibly by moving the R2 and L2 buttons (thank god) to be more like the N64 Z Trigger.
 
Any pics or sources? I don\'t frequent a lot of PS2 sites...
 
Except this one. :)

i hope not, and they better not include a "rumble" feature like i\'ve been reading rumors about.

the N64 "trigger" button was retarded

I think I saw a pic of the controller, the the R2 and L2 are just moved back a bit and extend further from the controller. They added LEDs on top, four of them, to indicate what player you are, which is cool.
 
Last I heard, rumble was still out.

uhm...*raises hand slowly*...i know it really doesn\'t make a difference but the rumble feature did enhance the gaming experience a bit..:(...i\'ll miss that feature a little,...i was also one of the few that didn\'t mind that boomerang style of the initial controller...the nintendo trigger button?...yea i had issues with that controller....i guess i\'m just spoiled by the dual shock....

Immersion wants to kiss and make up with Sony

as regards to using their rumble technology.  They won the 90 mil lawsuit, but they\'re now in a funk that if Sony doesn\'t support the rumble feature at all, so that 3rd parties can\'t even take advantage, then they will loose a lot of revenue that they would have made from the PS3.

None of the PS3 news sites I frequent have any mention or pictures of a new DS3, although the ones released earlier already showed a few LEDs along the back for player, and the triggers more slanted inwards.  I will miss the boomerang though, I wonder if they might release it anyways or if a 3rd party will make one....

Yeah, fatal, it turns out it\'s just stuff on the E3 controller that I hadn\'t noticed before.

Fatal, I wouldn\'t be surprised if a third party made a boomerang like controller. Unfortunately, the third party one will undoubtedly suck. I think the only way it could be pulled off is if a company like Logitech and Sony jointly created it like they did the wireless controller for PS2.

I didn\'t care for it, but I certainly think they should keep it.

After a while, I never really noticed it. My hands like became numb to it. There should have been a button on the controller (more like a switch) to turn it on or off instead of in the game itself.

nar switches or push button switches tend to degrade to quickly.. after time the switch will either never work or always be on.  I\'d prefer my games to have the control rather then a switch.  More crap on a controller means more shit that can fuck up on it.

The N64 controlled was the worst controller ever desgined.  Good A and B buttons.... then someone went screwy.  4 midget sized \'C\' buttons, all of which don\'t really line up and have any sort of formation with the rest of the controller.  A \'z\' button, that god forbid you played a game that used the D-Pad, was completely useless.  Oh yea, and why did they add a left shoulder button when most of the games used the joystick?  And let\'s not forget the rumble pak.
