now this is more like it...thank god that awful 360 controller can be replaced with the dualshock 3

GiantEnemyCrab6258d ago

You forgot the /sarcasm tag on the end of that. :)

I guess XCM recognize a lot of PS2 owners have bought 360's and want to use the controller they are used too. I prefer the 360 controller over the DS3 any day of the week, except for the D-Pad.

table6258d ago (Edited 6258d ago )

360 controller is more comfortable in your hands but feels very inaccurate when trying to aim. I cant play FPS with a 360 controller or any other accuracy game, just cant aim properly with it. Stick with the old school PC/PS. Also, the D-pad is suicidle. Atleast its much better than the original xbox controller, the worst controller ever made no doubt.

Edit @ below: the dualshock3 is virtually identical to the dualshock2. i think 3 feels better again.

mintaro6258d ago (Edited 6258d ago )

I very much prefer the 360 controller to the dualshock. It's just feels so right in your hand and has those awesome triggers.
And this might be just me but the Dualshock and sixaxis (especially the sixaxis) feel cheap and poorly built, as if they'll break if you over use them.
The dualshock 2 felt sturdy and a lot better than the Playstation 3 controllers of now.

iHEARTboobs6258d ago (Edited 6258d ago )

I'm new to the 360 controller so it might not be surprising that I still prefer my PS controller. But I agree with Stewgart. The DS3 analog sticks seem to run smoother than the 360's. And I have a new and used 360 controller so I don't think it just needs breaking in. I played a whole bunch of GEARS 2 campaign then horde one night and my hand started hurting. I'm sure that'll stop when my hands get use to the controller.

Edit: Mintaro, the 360 controller was designed to fit better in the hand, and I think it does. To me the DS3 nor Sixaxxis feel poorly built. They're not as heavy as the 360 controller but never feel poorly built, to me at least. I also feel the vibration on the DS3 is better. It all comes down to preference i guess.

goflyakite6258d ago

Agreed with stewgart, although the 360's controllers feels much better in your hands and the triggers are nicer. I absolutely hate the placement of the left analog stick. Who's idea was it to break symmetry?

Monchichi0256258d ago

Why on earth would you want to replace the 360 control with the PS3 one??? Thinking the opposite would be true with most people!

NegativeCreepWA6258d ago (Edited 6258d ago )

Why doesn't someone just release a 360 controller with a PS d-pad for both consoles. That would be the perfect controller imo.

TheBand1t6258d ago

Thank god someone released an attachment like this. Now I gotta buy this attachment so I can bring it over to my cousin's house whenever I go there.

Flipgeneral6258d ago

Useful for... Fighting games!
All I can really think of..
I got used to the movements of executing moves, it's just dashing in general or using charge characters which feel really clumsy.

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.

solideagle28d 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

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

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde35d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy36d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga37d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199236d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga36d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman36d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger36d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box37d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion36d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7237d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7536d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit36d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14937d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7737d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
