Interesting.. they moved the d-pad and analog stick around. Guess they didn't like the traditional Dual Shock layout. Now it's more of an Xbox One layout.

OffRoadKing2910d ago

Which is exactly why I wouldn't buy one.

Neonridr2910d ago

do you own a regular Scuf controller?

VenomUK2910d ago

A lot of these official licensed controllers are using the offset stick design, obviously there is a market for it. I personally have the Hori Onyx. Come the launch of the PS5 I don't think Sony would change the iconic DualShock design but I wonder if they would ever release their own pad with that design as a separate product.

NapalmSanctuary2910d ago (Edited 2910d ago )

I find the xbox thumbstick/d-pad positions to be a little awkward, myself. Especially when I'm trying to use the d-pad for fighting games like MKX.

@Neonridr & OffRoadKing But the Scuf Impact controllers are quite nice. Replaceable and programmable face button paddles and serious color customization, plus the shape and comfort of the 360 controller but with Dual Shock stick/d-pad layout. They are the best of both worlds.

Neonridr2910d ago

just something worth noting. Obviously Scuf feels there is enough of an interest for an Xbox style layout over the Dualshock layout. Considering up to this point all their controllers have either been regular or modified DS4 controllers.

Brazz2910d ago

I think playstation analog. position is much better, but that's is a metter of preference.
Well, since there are so many people abandoning xbox and going playstation it kinda makes sense to give this option to people that like the xbox controller configuration .( i can't see why some minority think xbox is better, but as i said, it's a metter of preference.)

Neonridr2910d ago

I have a PS4 and I still feel the Xbox layout is a better natural feel. That being said, I have gotten quite used to the DS layout, so I am perfectly fine using the sticks lower down.

Brazz2910d ago

@ Neonridr
Fair, as said before... metter of preference.

Christopher2910d ago

It's a good plan, since you can already get plenty of controllers with the parallel layout. This will go for those who moved from 360 to PS4 and like the XBO controller more.

Listing two controllers is not "every other gamepad out there", that's what I was saying.

Neonridr2909d ago

well every Nintendo and MS controller uses the offset layout. So I would have to say that's more than two. But yes, there are a few PC pads that use the Sony layout, but they are far outnumbered.

Xbox controller layout? No thanks.

ClanPsi12910d ago

I think it looks great, especially the neat side buttons, but why did they ruin the analog stick placement? Offset sticks are awful.

Neonridr2910d ago

preference thing. Plenty of people prefer the traditional style. I know I would, but have gotten used to my Scuf Impact.

slate912910d ago

Thank goodness they fixed the analog positions.

MatrixxGT2910d ago

I play much better with Xbox style analogs especially in Shooters. Everything else the DS4 doesn’t bother me but I definitely prefer to play competitive online on Xbox just for the controller alone. With this controller coming I don’t think there will be reason to play Xbox anymore for me.

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot11d 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…

HectixRose12d 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.

JEECE12d 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.

CantThinkOfAUsername11d 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.

Soy12d ago

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

DarXyde12d 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.

Ashunderfire8612d 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.

Ashunderfire8612d ago (Edited 12d 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.

pwnmaster300012d 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.

solideagle12d 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

Relientk7712d ago

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