@Neon: How much did they pay?

@ stormsnooper

MS didn't sue Sony when they used Project Gotham Racing 3 pictures to promote Gran Turismo 4... twice.

The only competition to the Xbox One controller is the XBox One Elite controller. Why wouldn’t they be using the Xbox controller if they had the option? It’s way better than the DualShock.

Oh it's not news when sony is in the frame for doing it but it is when Microsoft have been caught using the same trickery..

It's simple isn't it sony are as evil as what the fanboys make out microsoft are, they use the same damn tactics to get all of our money.

What I'm curious of is Eid Sony use the standard Xbox one version of destiny or the X1X because I have a feeling it will of been the latter and that just bad of them to do that if they did and no better than when the other console devs have done it in the past.

Who gives a flying fish one way or the other, dumb article.

they are the same but the point is ps4 has better games, gamers don't care about how greedy this companies are unless they affect the games so much.

***Still Microsoft OS on x86 hardware using a MiCrosoft controller same as console really, but yah likely a development build***

Comments like this are just as bad as Sony blurring out PC Dev controllers in videos.

Heh. Yeah. I had to do nothing at all to get my Xbox One controller to work with games that support controllers in Windows 10. Even the onscreen prompts are usually for Xbox. The console itself has been idle for a year. At least I got something to carry forward from it.

Xbox controllers are fairly common to use in the testing of multi-plat games when that testing is done on the PC, which it always is until further along in development. This is because of the DirectX API making it something that doesn't have to be adjusted for it to use on PC. When it goes to testing an individual platform, then they'll use actual dev kits with the appropriate controller.

For an interesting fact, multi-plat game engines don't use low level code for the controllers, and the engines themselves easily map the buttons on the actual build of the game.

This has nothing to do with Xbox, or MS, or Windows. It's just the way that testing is done at the dev.

still on a hardware that probably has some SONY, SAMSUNG etc chips on it , then in game textures are taken with a camera with sony sensors on it and the furnitures are from IKEA.

@Saijahn: Yeah, PS4 controllers work on PC but hard to see anyone using one by choice.

@maybe.

i do, i cant stand the xbox one controller. all about the symetrical joysticks for me. plus i find them more comfortable for long play sessions

you can, you need a 3rd part app for it to work though.
But I think the general opinion of pc gamers is that they prefer the xbox controller for pc gaming, maybe the plug and play convenience of the xbox plays part in that

I still prefer the ps controllers though.

@Saijahn

Yes, but they were likely testing a PC build. In fact it was definately a PC build, because it's obviously running on PC. Xbox controllers will be there, because eventually, it'll be tested on a Xbox dev kit. Plus, DirectX is set up to work fluidly with the controller, so less things for the developer to build.
