More Proof That DualShock 3 > Xbox 360 Controller.

here on GS and other sites, some Xbox 360 games have been marked down soely because of its crap controller.

take a look at Bionic Commando Rearmed review or Mirrors Edge review, or Street Figher IV previews, you will see that Xbox 360 version has been marked down or criticized just because of its crappy controller. there are lots and I mean lots of reviews where Xbox 360 controller was metioned as a hinderance to the game's controls.

There has not been any PS3 game where its controller was criticized.

DualShock is the best controller ever made, it is suitable for ALL games. where as, the same cant be said for Xbox 360.

offset joysticks are proven to be superior to the parallel joystick design found on PS3.

spongy triggers?

Controllers are a personalprefrence. One is not better then the other

well for one offset joysticks are proven to work better in the shooter genre.

either way, stop with your "love everybody, were all equal". Its okay to admit one thing is better then the other.

It's better than the Xbox 360 controller, no doubt about that.metalgear-solid

Your opinion has been noticed. I disagree.

Terribly D-pad?  I prefer the Sony controller, it fits my hands better.  The 360 one may work with your hands, I dunnop.  It being convex where the DS3 is concave bugs me like crazy though while playing rpg's marathon-like.  If not for that fact they'd be equal in my opinion.

Considering that 99% of the times "what is better" is only a matter of personal taste.

This is the 2nd thread I've seen today by you where you started some ridiculous fanboyish topic. Do you have anything better to do? Nothing can save this thread from the utter failure that it already is. ;)

does the TC have anything remotely positive to say about the 360 at all..ever?

Personally, I'm still more used to the dualshock cause of the Ps2 but there's not really an issue with the 360's. both are fine IMO

Nuh, 360 controller is the best ever made. DS3's handles are too small, triggers feel awkward and anolog placements are bad and too LOOSE. 

I wish sony released the boomarang controller.

See thats an opinion, I can argue and say the trigger buttons dont work well with my extremely short fingers ( i have bear paws for hands just making an example) but see what im doing?

Can we at least admit KB/M destroys both controllers???POJO_MOFO

sure. good luck with that.

Dual-shock 3 = Great for racing and platforming

360 Controller = Great for FPS and everything else

No.

controllers are the more "hip" way of playing games these days.

For anything else, I'd say no ... I'd hate to play, for example, something like assassin's creed or the new PoP on a PC.

if you prefer KB/M, sure. if you prefer controllers, no.

well obviously, LOL. 

Try playing GTA4 with the PS3 controllers using the standard controls, using the L2 and R2 buttons to aim and shoot is painfull. That due to the handles being low and not long enough for your palms to properly grab hold off, IMO. 

the 360 controlls has your hands fit perfectly in every way..nothing to short or too long. You also don't have to worry about your thunbs hitting each other. 

must be joking

the position of the analog sticks on the dual shock controller is why i avoided the ps2 last gen and sole reason i won't buy a ps3 till either sony or a third party release a controller with offset analogs, i love my shooting games and the dual shock is a non starter for fps and tps games, and before anyone says "but teh nouse and keyboard" i dislike that more than playing shooters with a dual shockdelta3074

all they have to do is set the sticks more apart, just enough that you can freely move them without hitting each other (thumbs). 

The D-pad is the only thing better on the DS3 over the 360 controller, but luckily the analogue sticks on the 360 are much better so they world perfectly for fighters and platformers.

If i could use my 360 controllers with my PS3, i'd never buy another DS3 and my current ones would be collecting dust.

Or just get with the program and make the sticks asymetric like many other great controllers in the past (GC, Xbox, Xbox 360 :P )

Because the PS2 was swarming with FPS's, amirite?  If you avoided the PS2, you honestly aren't really a gamer by SW definition.  Thats like calling a pure sheep a gamer :roll: :lol:

The only aspect in which the DualShock 3 is superior to the 360 controller is the D-Pad, but that is irrelevant for most games.

I am still amazed that Sony didn't change the placement of the left analog stick for the PS3.  It makes no sense to have the D-Pad, which is no longer the primary movement control it once was with the PS1, in the primary thumb position.  It makes no sense whatsoever.

Aside from fighting games, the 360's controller is fine.Floppy_Jim

actually, asymetric types, suck for racers...expecially when the right stick is used to accelerate...its why i like my car games on the playstation controller..but everything else on the 360.

Crappy controller? :|

Whatever floats your boat man. I can tell you one thing though, the Xbox 360's controller is one of the primary reasons why I buy all my multiplats on the 360. I don't care what anyone says, the Xbox 360 controller is one of the best and most comfortable controllers ever made. The Dual Shock 3 on the other hand? Not so much. It's a design I've never liked, even dating back to the PS1 era.

Not really, i just use the triggers for acceleration and breaking, they work better than the analogue stick imo.

How many times must we go through this :P!

DualShock 3:
- Fighters
- Action/Adventure games
- JRPG (selecting items and commands are much quicker with the DS3)

360 Controller:
- 3rd person shooters
- First Person Shooters/ games

Both:
- Sports
- Puzzle
- Racing

Pretty much sums it up for me. Even though the 360 controller is my prefered pad for most multiplat shooters, 1st party PS3 shooters play perfect on the DS3.

Yeah, the 360's triggers work so wonderfully for racing games that every other control option just feels backwards to me.

That's why I've been sort of suffering through the use of the DS3's triggers (who the hell designed these things?) for GT5: P. I just don't like analog stick or face buttons for my accellerating or braking needs.

as an avid playstation user since the ps1, the dinoshock 3 feels better for me for fighting games, platforming, sports games, and even RPG(360 controller to heavy imo).

but i play more shooters lately, and the 360 feels better than the dinoshock 3.

People are willing to spend hundreds of dollars for a modded PS3 360 controller.

People even made code for PS3 to use 360 remotes on it.

Goes to show you which is the better remote. 360 > PS3

Anyone that wants to mod that crappy PS3 controller into a 360 controller check this out.
