The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
Sounds like he has trouble adjusting to the controller, being it that he chose vita to compare it too rather than the, more similar, DS makes me think he may have some small bias against it from the start.
Most reports say that the controller is comfortable and causes no problems. Making a complaint about having to take you hand off to use the touch screen is like complaining about having to move your arm to swing a motion controller.
Well no sheet.
That was one of the shortest previews I've ever seen.
Well i agree 100%.. The gamepad isnt comfortable to me.. Why dont all of you go out to your local gamestop & try it out? the demo stations are up so u can see for yourselves.. Im telling u all that its not ideal for core gaming.. The pro control i have yet to try but if it cant be used on wii games, has weak rumble, & is only useable on SOME wii u titles, theres no point in owning it anytime soon.. That gamepad has around 5hrs of life w minimal settings so will require charging EVERY time u stop playing or during long play sessions..
I like the wii u & im buying one when the games i want come to it but im not ready to own it until i see what they do.. Theres many unknowns still that i want answers to.. Before u all go berserk talking mess, please go try it for yourselves.. Theres many great things about it but theres just as many terrible things that need to be ironed out.. & keep in mind, this is supposed to be NX GEN so some of its short comings are inexcusable for a system releasing at the end of 2012.. Hey who can complain w a $300 price tag tho? plus accessories, games, hdd, headset, etc
After trying out the WiiU gamepad for myself i have to say its very uncomfortable its way to big and bulky and the overall construction feels cheap.
