almost time

Not a fan of the new Xbox controller, my main complaint of the PS3 remote was that the one which came with the system was light and felt quite cheap pretty much forcing you to upgrade. Now Microsoft and Sony have switched, with the PS4 remote feeling solid and substantial, and the Xbox1 feels light and cheap.

Weird because people are praising both controllers to high hell people even claiming xbox one's controller to be close to perfection.

[B-Mac]

well the previous xbox controller was pretty damn close to perfection other then the D pad and the joysticks durability....which they seem have to addressed both

Yea it was a good controller but not near perfect in my opinion...I hate the placement of the d-pad and wish it were in the same style as the PS controllers put both together and you got the perfect Controller.

[B-Mac]

naw i hate the PS controller for the very fact that the joysticks are so close together.....xbox controller feels so natural in the hand where the left stick is...no extending your thumb out

[RealGunner]

a question. Why does the Xbox controller still require batteries in 2013 lol? what happened to USB charging?

[Tomwin Lannister]

RG, bro...

This is how the lower class live.

Still very sceptic about this console.

Seriously, would this be worth getting?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Honestly the only game i see worth getting for either console is NBA 2K14 lol.... the rest don't interest me.

[Tomwin Lannister]

I'm in the same boat Mole. But like I said i'm never hyped for the console relases. Even though this is the first time i'm not buying it early.

Because release games are mostly just there for quantity. The quality comes later.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Tom getting NBA2K14

[Tomwin Lannister]

Loooool

Funny enough my mate's a ballhoopthrow thingy fan and he reckons because I enjoy team games and enjoy sports and all that I should buy NBA

I will one day, pre-owned and cheap tho.

[nichabr]

Ryse = Xbox equivalent of Heavenly sword without a combo system lol.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Can't remember much about H.S apart from 2 things

I enjoyed it quite a lot

And they featured part of the ending as the prologue, which always annoys me.

Ryse is this roman game ain't it?

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Yeah Tom its supposed to be very nice to look at but the gameplay is very limiting and very boring.

Gameinformer said its as fun as dialing phone numbers

It will probably serve its purpose though, eye candy to show off the capabilities of the new hardware.

Yea Heavenly sword was a decent game but it was mostly eye candy. Ryse is being described as press X to win lol.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Right then, well when I get an xbox in 4 years I won't be picking that up for a fiver then.

RG, bro...

This is how the lower class live.

because having 2 batteries in a charger charging while i'm playing is better then being interrupted by a controller with built in batteries dying and having to wait for it to charge again

[Onyx]

Having to charge the PS3 controller using a cable can get tedious at times.

They could maybe sell 3 batteries and a charger and everytime your controller is about to run out, it gives you an extra 30 mins to replace the battery. You'd charge the batteries with a specific charger that comes with the batteries.

[RealGunner]

Having to wait lol?

You can continue playing while charging.

[Onyx]

Yeh but the cable is still connected.

[RealGunner]

so

[Tomwin Lannister]

Either way unless you're forking out £2,000 for batteries you need to plug it in at times

PS3 isn't a hastle at all. Battery life is long enough, soon as it gives you a 30 minute warning you plug the cable in lol

Done.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Plus ps3 wirelss headsets >>> evil wire into pad system.

[Onyx]

so

It makes the controller less agile imo.

Rechargeable batteries for the win

Spend 40 bucks at Radio Shack and you get a pack of 4 batteries *charger included
