Video games are constantly evolving. As are the systems and handhelds we play them on. Even the controllers in our hands that allow us to play the games we love (and may not love) are ever-changing. What was once that uncomfortable rectangular brick with a directional pad and two face buttons has become a sleek, ergonomically-designed purring machine with control sticks, multiple face buttons, triggers and shoulder buttons, and all without a cord now. Sometimes we take for granted those lovely buttons labeled A, B, X, Y, or X, O, Triangle, Square. But we must confess: a video game controller’s design is an integral part of our experience playing a video game.
This futuristic retro racer will leave you on the edge of your seat.
From a fourth Project CARS to a Dakar-style open-world racer that set the template for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Here are seven racing games that didn’t quite make it.
Blur was decent, although the control system could've been better, Blur 2 in the video looks good. Project Cars was massively overrated and full of bugs, Dirt 3 yes, a new Dirt Rally no, rally games have passed me by. Project Gotham Racing 5, Ridge Racer 8, Wave Race 4, Crash Team Racing 2 are up there. Ridge Racer Unbounded had everything apart from the gameplay, there was also Split Second which was decent, the Burnout series became boring as with rally and F1 games. A new Wipeout is due, also F-Zero. I wouldn't say no to Outrun 2 on current consoles as long as it includes the exclusive Xbox tracks, then Outrun 3. Wipeout VR on the PS4 was awesome, that's due a sequel. I remember Buggy Boy on the Commodore 64 and Spectrum, that'll never see a sequel. The likes of Turismo and Forza have become boring. Forza Horizon not so much. Road Rash and Super Hang on 2 others. Chase HQ has never gained legendary status on any console.
I would do anything for a MotorStorm on PS5. Or just the trilogy in 4k/60. RIP Evolution.
Evolution did good on those games... but we don't need them for a trilogy remaster. It can be done by Sony's master of remasters: Bluepoint.
For sure. I don't even think it would need that talented of a studio. Upping the resolution and framerate would be all that's needed. Of course I would take the trilogy with a complete overhaul on the graphics, but upping the rez and framerate (and some great AA) would easily be enough for me.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
love the 360 controller in my hand :)
yeah i must say the xbox 360 controller is really comfortable the ds3 comes in second
Its Cross not X on the PS controllers
I like both the Duelshock and the 360 controller. If I had it my way I'd combine elements of each. It's entirely personal preference, but I like the right concave stick and triggers on the 360 controller and would probably place that on the Duelshock to make the best possible controller for my hands.
I only just bought my 360 last year with Reach. Using the controller for the first time after years of playstationing gave me serious monkey grip :p
360 controller for me. PS3 controllers thumb sticks are in awkward positions where as the 360's left stick is in a more nature position and the sticks don't stick way up out of the controller.
