The world's worst game controller fails

GGG: "When it comes to game controllers, there’s a fine line between clever and stupid. For every good step forward in controller design, there are a dozen dead ends.

This slideshow is dedicated to those oddball controllers that set out earn our amazement but only aroused our amusement, instead."

those really are fail controllers.

JsonHenry5721d ago

The Belkin Nostromo Speedpad n52te looks like pure ass. But it actually works well for PC FPS games.

SKUD5721d ago

I use the older speedpad n50 and its perfect for PC shooters.

juniordee5721d ago

What is the Novint Flacon doing there? That's an awesome controller.

Quagmire5722d ago (Edited 5722d ago )

Should add kinect to that list. Well, techinically your body is teh controller, but watever.

Darkfiber5721d ago

Your body is the controller, and it fails, so add Your Body to that list.

Wtf are you talking about?
The worst controller is my body?
They are talking about physical controllers

Kinect = cam

Your body is a controller for life, not games.

Bloodyghost5721d ago

Come on, dont start that stuff. I remember a few of these, the one I would put in that was a buzz kill has the fatty controller that came with the Xbox.

IRetrouk5721d ago

woz gona say the same thing.

Darkfiber5721d ago

Kinect, Move, Wiimotion and the PS3 triggers.

Bloodyghost5721d ago

Or just Motion controllers in general. But I have not tried Move of Kinect so I just going to leave them out of the equation.

Corepred45721d ago

360 controller's d-pad can be added too.

dark-hollow5721d ago

You think that is bad?
Wait till you see the intellivision controller
Like the nerd said "WHAT WAS THEY WERE THINKING!!"

Non_sequitur5721d ago

One of those is actually used for modeling and is quite useful because it gives you feedback by creating resistance.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
