Those aren't Keions. Why would anyone visit a shop with fake Keions?

Also would be funny if the PS4 comes out with another Duelshock. That would make it a last last last gen console.

No, I have heard November for US, UK and Japan. Feb for RoW. Sony are behind in the UK and can't afford to give MS a headstart here any more.

Where does Ireland fit into that? Included with UK or having to wait? I'm in the North so If I do decide to Jump on-board I should be fine, just curious how it works out for down south.

I just don't get how people liked the Cube pad. It was the only part of the system I didn't like. The d-pad was tiny, the C-stick felt weird, the face button placement strange and the triggers were just bizarre. It worked OK for first party stuff but multiplats never felt right. I'm not surprised they dropped it.

The Wavebird felt cool at the time though.
 
I think it's because I didn't play anything but first-party games on it. Except for Spider-Man 2, where the chunky R button made slinging webs really satisfying.

I don't know. It's to do with some single market rules. The UK has opted out of some of these requirements and our regulatory clearance is much faster than the EU, allowing for a much faster launch of products in the UK. I don't know about Ireland.

The c-stick for me was perfect for Zelda...but didn't really pay attention to it besides that. So yeah I guess your comments about first party are correct. I just liked the feel and think it worked great for smash bros melee.

Not saying this is the case for everyone, but I often find those who hate the N64 controller are those weirdos who thought you were meant to hold the outer prongs and stretch your thumb to the stick rather than realising it was three configurations in one.

I really liked the N64 pad. I do remember seeing it as a kid and being all "what is that, how does that even, urgh gross" but then when I got hold of it and realised nothing used both the d-pad/L and analog stick/Z.

Until the Xbox controller S, N64 pad was my favourite.

It's all about the Wavebird but the only multi-plat that felt weird on it was Freedom Fighters. Viewtiful Joe, Killer 7 and that were fine. I can't imagine playing Metroid Prime with anything else. Even the new Wii controls weren't my thing.

On the contrary, I'm the complete opposite. The Wii controls spoiled me in Trilogy.

I prefer the 360 controller but i don't understand the hyperbolic reaction to the DS3.

Maybe if these fat sweaty nerds were less than 50% body fat they could hold it.

Whelp, I just spent a whole day learning how to do sound for a shoot. That was fun.

Great thing about the company is that on weekends where no production needs it, I can take borrow the high-end (costs more than my yearly wage, for example) equipment and play around. Gonna maybe have a punt at doing a short film (5 min or so) once I get practiced enough.

edit - Form-factor wise, I think the 360 pad is the best pad that has ever been designed. Too bad about the dpad and lack of analogue buttons. PS2/3 dualshock has the best buttons, for sure. Clicky enough to feel like digital buttons but with analogue depth for them that makes playing Metal Gear Solid a dream.

Best analogue sticks absolutely goes to the original XBOX "duke" controller. The form factor was far too large, but those sticks had absolutely perfect resistance and acceleration. You could be so accurate with them.

Best controller overall is the Dreamcast fishing rod. Once you played Soul Calibur with it, you never went back.

the best thing about the gamecube controller was that it felt like it was designed just for playing resident evil 4. shit was just perfect, yo.

Aye, it's either being chastised for not getting the mic close enough or yelled at for being in shot.

All this GameCube talk is making me want to throw down £15 for one at CEX and run through PN:03 again.

What is quite odd is how impressed I was with the penis in GTA: Lost and damned. The amount of detail and jiggle went into it was impressive wonder if it was done willingly or just short straw
