A pretty popular opinion at that. And for good reason.
TTP said:
Thank you captain obvious. Now, since you don't agree with my claim - please explain how analog buttons are superior to analog triggers for driving games. Or explain why any other input device other than real pedals is better than triggers.
You have a controller, you have a driving game. Whats better than triggers?

I wish I had an analog button in my car instead of a gas pedal.

FLAWLESS VICTOLY!
If they're not going to redesign it, I hope the driver support exists that I can use the 360 controller on it. I really don't need them to "rip off" the Revolution at this point.
It seemed to me at E3 that they were making it obvious to western gamers that they weren't getting left behind with shooters and other western software this time around (the other stuff we already know will be there). That being the case, they need to have a controller that is more than just workable for all types of games. And though I like the dual shock, it doesn't really fit that bill.

Looks are an important aspect. If looks didn't matter, we would all be wearing the same clothes, driving the same cars, and living in the same colored houses. It's no different than the hundreds of photoshopped Xbox pictures. Sure the looks didn't affect how it played, but people do buy things based on asthetics.
Honestly, the PS3 controller looks hawt when compared with the dual shock. I like the new looks and think it will be more comfortable.

Actually, as much as I love the look of the 360 controller, I'd rather Sony not go 360-light. Even considering their first version (heh) I'd like to see what they come up with.
Still, it'll be hard to not copy something from the 360 controller, since design-wise it's almost perfect. Triggers, shoulder buttons, no face analog buttons meaning no dead zone, left analog in primary position, the overall shape etc. The only possible way to improve on the 360 controller now is to add 2 more face buttons for the fighting fans.
Oh, and insert 3D "gyro" control for you Rev fans.
I guess I am crazy but I actually like the DS2 best out of this gen. Anyone who finds the sticks slippery must have really buttery fingers, they are rubberized! I find my fingers slip off the plasticy gamecube and xbox sticks more. I also don't get the analog button hate? They where awsome in MGS3, Ace Combat (rudders), and ZOE2 (phalanx cannon). Also who the hell uses the buttons for gas/brake in driving games? The 2nd analog stick is much more precise.
I dunno about the boomerang though... its really very small. Anyone have that pic of a guy holding it?

I don't mind it so much...slap the SONY emblem on it and the masses will eat it up, but I'm surprized no one see's the flaw. I'm sorry, but I know alot of people who grip their controllers very hard and even harder as games get more intense. The way it's shaped, I think it would snap like a wishbone in some people's hands. This problem would only be amplified if they were to add "grip" control to it.

I think most of us care about how the feels too, but judging by pictures of the controller, it doesn't look comfortable.iapetus said:

Exactly. Most of this board (and I suspect most of today's gamers) love the Dual Shock, while I think it's a piece of shit. So hearing what people have to say about this or any other controller isn't gonna clear things up one way or another for me.
Truth be told I don't think this Boomerang controller looks any less comfortable then the Dual Shock...that's how much I hate it. And yet I've still been able to use it, in spite of itself. So it really doesn't matter...Sony knows that everyone will bend over regardless.

As some others noted, it's all about the racers. I've got nowhere to use a steering wheel (and they're a bit too pricey anyway), so the controller has got to do. A solid controller is more then capable of delivering the goods for a racer. And analog buttons are just poor substitutions...they're not in the same galaxy as triggers for total control.

Funny, I never knew the XBox controller had them in the first place. Says it all really.

I feel the same way. Dualshock 2 was by far the best controller this gen, it just feels so comfortable to use. Im just wishing that if Sony have changed the PS3 controller its something more like the dualshock.Flo_Evans said:

Thanks a lot for turning this thread into a debate about which English is better! If you want to argue about it make a thread about it. Stick to the main topic!
btw....England English is way better than the horrible American English

Well that settles that!callous said:
After the initial unveiling, and probably the feedback they got from it, they already said that changes should be expected since it apparently wasn't final*.

Uh huh..
The Queen's English isn't imitated by Americans because it sounds good.... :lolWakune said:

1st) You push pedals and pull triggers, two different moves and guess what, pushing a button is a closer move to pushing a pedal.
2nd) The tactical/muscolar feedback you get when applying different pressures to a button is much more precise and "telling" than just guessing how much room you got left when pulling a trigger.
3rd) Analog buttons also act on a more subtle level. Play GT4 and dont even think about the analog functionality of it controls but just look at how the break/acceleration bars go up and down during manouvers. You will find yourslef slightly accelerating (instead of just accelerating) to avoid a spin out of a tight turn or slightly breaking (instead than just breaking) when entering a soft turn even if you are just acting on a button.
4th) You should just give it a serious try before having an opinion.

I have a feeling they're going to copy Nintendo. That would be completely shameless, but I wouldn't put it past Sony, especailly since DS is kicking their ass in Japan, that might have been a wakeup call.
Lack of triggers is fine as long as they have a good true force feedback steering wheel for racing games.
While I completely agree that having L/R buttons as triggers makes racing games and FPS games control much better, they also make action games and most genres beside those two control much worse. Imagine playing something like DMC3 with triggers :\ Ninja Gaiden would've been much better with the blocking/camera adjustment on normal buttons.
So I'd rather them go with buttons which are better for 80% of the genre, and just supply a great steering wheel to make up for racing games. FPS fans will just have to live with 'pressing a button to shoot' rather than 'pulling a trigger like a real weapon'.

they've done it before, so why not. i wouldn't be suprised.soundwave05 said:
although if they did it, i think they'd just throw the functions in there if anything. at most split the controller in two.
