360 controller vs. PS3 controller

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]PS3 Controller wins by default. No sixaxis for 360.ckboy023

ha thats one of the good things about the 360 >.> lol

But yeah still I like the ps3 controller better because the buttons feel nicer and less stiff the L1-l2 and R1-R2 go together better then the bumper and the triggers, and the D pad is better

I dont really understand the weight aspect of controller argument, if its applied in favour of the 360. Surely lighter is better!! Id rather not have to hold the heavy ass 360 controller if im gonna be playing for a couple of hours. Even the DS3 is quite a lot lighter than the 360 controller.

that made me LOL, 360 by default cuz it doesn't have sixaxis

The PS3 controller for shooters and the 360 controllers for fighters.one_on_one

I see it.

I was mocking you, If somehting works the first time....why change it ...it seems to work for the COD franchise...and it seems to work for the Dualshock to...and yes the 360 is a copy of the dreamcast controller, the xbox was the spiritual successor to the dreamcast

Also, the ps3 was in development before the wii so they had motion sensors first the triggers arn't anything like 360 triggers

and if you say the ps3 controller stole xbox design then how the the 360 controller stealing the bumper design(L1+R1) So don't even go their

sh0vet

So by your logic, the original PSX controller was essentially the SNES controller with an extra shoulder button? Was the dual stick design simply sony's answer to the N64's analogue stick and c-pad?

All these controllers yet they pale in comparison to a keyboard and mouse. The sheer amount of users of keyboards and mouse(s) in the business world and elsewhere; the keyboard/mouse must be comfy and easy to use or "fill in the blank I know you can." Game pads are useful for a couple of game genres and that's rpgs without fps elements, fighters, sport games, platformers. Its clear the playstion controller excels at these genres since it has for many years; many of these genres began (or began in 3d) on this very console. The playstation controller has worked for many years before the xbox was even created.

I fail to see how the KB+M is even relevant to this thread. :|

Had you read my posts, you would have read the one where I explain that the PSOnes Dual Shock (essentially the same design to this day) was designed to use the analogue stick only on select titles that supported it. A majority of the games at that time still used the D-PAD, hence the reason the D-Pad is more "accessible" than the oddly placed analogue stick. Again, tell me what games make use of D-PAD precision.

I'm not arguing that the DS doesn't work, so proving that it has for the past decade is really doing nothing to support your argument. I'm simply arguing the superiority of a more strategically positioned left analogue stick. Successes in past generations are irrelevant.

[QUOTE="sh0vet"][QUOTE="Johnny-n-Roger"] :lol: Since the PS2 was the FIRST console to use "shoulder buttons".

I have met quite a few new gamers who prefer the DS3 over the 360. Shock horror!!

What people seem to neglect is that, shape wise, they are almost identical, with the 360 controller being more fleshed out that the DS3. However thats one of the reason it fails in my eyes. Too much controller-to-hand contact. DS3 only requires a couple of contact points to hold it steady.

One of the big advantages of the DS3 - I find you can hold it in two different ways, depending on whether you need two fingers on the shoulder buttons at all times, or just the one. The 360 controller really requires you to properly grip it at all times, with your middle fingers resting on the triggers. The DS3 can have it that way, or you can let your middle fingers drop below the triggers without it being uncomfortable, like it is on the 360 controller.

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]PS3 Controller wins by default. No sixaxis for 360.WutTimeIsIt

How many games use sixaxis as a main feature, i can think of one, the supid rubber duck game that came out when the ps3 first came out. The sixaxis feels too light and made of flimsy cheap plastic and has no rumble feature, 360 controllers are more ergonomically designed and your less likley to get cramps in your thumbs. sony are releasing a messenger pad copy however it is to be put on the top of the controller meaning you have to stretch or move your hands to type on it, why diddnt they copy the 360's one exactly as it is much easier to type,

Dude who cares if DS3 has sixaxis, I've got A PS3 myself and I think the sixaxis motion sensor is crap! If it's on any game I go straight into the Options and turn it off. It's just a waste of money!!

I honestly don't see what' so wrong with the 360's d-pad. At least you can push right on it without the left analogue stick getting in the way.

I do however like the SIXAXIS function on the PS3 pad (I wish more games would make use of it) and the lack of AA batteries, but otherwise the 360 controller is vastly superior.

I honestly hate Sixaxis, and I think the 360 controller is one of the best controllers ever.

Top 5?

I would say the PS3 controller is better than the one of the 360. These are my reasons:

-PS3's controller is almost the same as the PS1's & the PS2's, proving that it has a good design.

-The Sixaxis may be a somewhat limited motion feature (compared to that of the Wiimote), but it's well implemented most of the time. The 360's doesn't has it.

-Unlike all other consoles I know about, it doesn't uses letters or numbers to identify the non D-pad, non analog stick face buttons. It rather uses colored geometrical shapes, something that is not boring.

-The D-pad is made of four independent buttons, so it won't have any functioning problems (unlike the 360's). Also, the D-pad is placed in such a way it serves better as another set of face buttons.

-This controller is the only one with an internal rechargable battery on this gen.

-I would say the PS3 controller looks better than any other controller of this gen. Even so, it would look way better if its carcass was made of the same shiny black plastic of the console.

D-pad, 4 independent buttons? check again.dark-warmachine

Ok, you own me this time. Now that I think about it, the next innovation for the PlayStation controllers should be a D-pad comprised of four independent buttons. I wonder why hasn't it been made...

360... so much more comfortable. The way the PS3 analogues are set up is just not comfortable at all. The only thing the PS3 controller is better at is fighters.

Would have been interesting if the Boomerang came out...

[QUOTE="Johnny-n-Roger"][QUOTE="StealthKnife"] same, the ps3 is perfect and smooth, the 360 feels like a rock StealthKnife

[QUOTE="C-Lee"]i HATE the PS3 controller. I have no idea why people like it.Johnny-n-Roger

Dunno why people get into a hissy fit about the 360s D-pad, i've used it for side scroller shooters like omega five and its fine, i'd rather have the buttons close to each other and just slide my thumb over it then have to reach like you do with the ps3's. hopesfall2own
