Which Controller Is The Loudest? Sounding Off On Controller Noise

Game Informer: "Recently, while making my way through Infamous Second Son as the rest of my household was asleep, I could distinctly hear my controller echoing through the house. It wasn't from the speaker built into the controller I always forget is there that periodically emits noise to remind you of its existence, but rather the clicking of the shoulder buttons. It seemed louder than any controller I could recall. The same seemed true of the Xbox One controller. In a silent house with the television volume turned low, I felt like I could hear the clicking of buttons and tapping of control sticks more than I could in the past. I decided to take initiative and find out if the latest controllers were truly louder, or if I was just imaging things."

ps4 control is louder than xbone, cant that console win at anything?

Savsky4271d ago

It is winning in sales, and better exclusives (in my opinion). But I'll be at the Master Chief Collection release. I just prefer my PS4.

jimjam34424271d ago

halo is a dying franchise. its creators have moved on. i bet xbox sells 5 million for the next 6 years, on tap of course pub mix just follys up the rhine.

mikeslemonade4271d ago (Edited 4271d ago )

Objectively speaking the X1 controller is better overall than the PS4 controller.

If you take your biases aside and just compare them..

And that's about it. Everything else the PS4 has more advantages.

BiggerBoss4271d ago (Edited 4271d ago )

@mikeslemonade. I disagree entirely. There is nothing "objective" about your statement. I like the triggers a lot on the Xbox one controller, but the buttons completely kill it for me. The face buttons aren't as nice as on Ds4, and the bumpers are god awful. God awful is an understatement. They're pretty much unusable IMO. The thumb sticks are subjective but I do like the xboxone thumb sticks.

LogicStomper4271d ago

@BiggerBoss

Two objective comparisons that can be made are the battery life and thumbstick material. So yes, in your opinion you dislike the xbox controller, but these two aspects can be compared objectively.

mixolydian_id4271d ago

Don't forget bro...

Just because something is more popular... doesn't make it the best.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder... if the XB1 gives you the functionality you desire, then it is better... FOR YOU!

Same with the PS4.

Im not a sheep, so I won't be going along with what everyone else does because of the web PR waffle but I can only afford one console.

Hence why it's a more scrutiness decision to make

I, prefer the triggers on my Xbox One controller versus our Ps4 controller. I, also prefer the larger design, which could be a plus or minus depending upon hand size. I, hated the bumpers on my Xbox controller until I realized that they're placed in such a way that your finger never has to completely leave the trigger, it just rolls over the bumper. I definitely think the Xbox controller fits me better personally, but I think the DS4 is far and away the most improved controller.

Magicite4271d ago

ps4 wins at not being called xBONE, hahaha!

ChronoJoe4271d ago

If you flick the triggers on the PS4 controller they're so loud. It doesn't bother me either way, I find it funny at times. It's a good way to annoy others in the living room.

Bebedora4271d ago

The L2 button on my PS4 controller squeaks. I laughed when I found out about it.

@RiPPn: That was an innovative way to fix the problem. Thanks for the link.

LackTrue4K4271d ago

all that time it was my L2 TRIGGER?!?

....and here I am banging a my wall yelling @ my parents in the next room to keep them sex down!

BG115794271d ago

The ps4 controler of course, because it has a speaker!

rainslacker4271d ago (Edited 4271d ago )

I've been gaming for over 30 years, and quite honestly, the only time I ever recall hearing my controller make noise was with an arcade fighting stick. Never once have I thought to myself, OMG, that is so loud and annoying...not even with the fight stick.

On the other hand, I guess the PS4 controller is kinda loud when that speaker starts making noise.

Donnywho4271d ago

I would of guessed N64, the analog stick snaps back loud and the D-pad is loud too. The controller is so big it almost echoes.

Jrmy844270d ago

Well you said it for me, my thoughts exactly.

-Foxtrot12h ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose1d 17h ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE1d 16h ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername19h ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy1d 16h ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde1d 6h ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire861d 4h ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire861d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster30001d 16h ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle1d 9h ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk771d 7h ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
