The hdtv and sdtv as how it is with regular controller and hori stick.
Dreams-Visions
Okay thats just a ludicrious claim right there that absolutely makes no sense what so ever.
An Arcade Stick is superior to a controller for fighters because the Stick is more accurate and more precise. Not to mention you have one hand controller all the buttons with your hand laying over the buttons as you are able to hit them with more accuracy and precision.
The Arcade Stick changes gameplay because it gives you a superior input device. It is directly attritube to the control input of the game. You ever try to play a 360 grappler on a Control Pad? Good luck.
Tell me now. What affect on a game does an HDTV have?
- Controls?
- Frame Rate?
Please tell me what it changes.
Playing any game on my roomates HDTV and then playing on my SDTV there is no difference in gameplay. Its the same thing. You're Arcade Stick analogy is just 100% wrong and this is coming from someone who has multiple sticks, knows how to build them, knows which parts ect are better ect.
So I'd appreciate it if you didn't use an analogy that is so incorrect.
You're only claim is a visual base which doesn't affect gameplay what so ever if one can see everything perfectly anyways.
I see the hdtv as the hori stick since you can see more clearly compare to sdtv which gives an advantage on certain fps/tps games. Like the examples I gave on the CoD4 maps I experienced from playing on sd and hdtv. If it is easier to see certain things from far distance on hdtv rather than in sdtv would it not be an advatage?
As an owner of both (see my blog), I'm glad to say you're flat wrong. whether I'm on a big SDTV or a big HDTV, I'm going to get the same number of kills in Halo 2 or Halo 3. Sure, HD makes things cleaner and sharper, but it wasn't that bad looking in the first place.No.
Let's look at a Hori HRAP arcade stick vs. a controller. Here's mine, slightly modded for PS3/360/PC compatability
This stick (and any stick) allows for:
- enhanced control speed
- greater button pressing accuracy
- eaiser button combination presses
- hightened analog stick (dpad) control and response
another way to think about this:
Up until very recently, arcades employed nothing but big SDTVs of varying sizes. Fighters, shooters, action games. they all used SDTVs. Now imagine if those arcades suddenly switched to controllers.
There'd be riots because arcade sticks are simply irreplacable.
I can honestly say stepping down to controllers killed my passion for playing fighting games. too hard to push multiple buttons at once. inconsistent d-pad response.
I just got my HRAP 3 and now I see what I've been missing. But Halo 3 doesn't care if it's in SD or HD. and I can't think of one situation where I feel I got more kills playing Team Fortress 2 @ 1920x1200 than I would have at 1024x768 or less.
So no my friend, an arcade stick can has a much more dramatic impact on the gameplay experience of a gamer than the sharpness of a TV ever could. Though I'll agree that the resolution of a TV can have a great impact on the IMMERSION into a game. different issue, though.
Closing thought: I'd also say that a flight stick will have a greater impact on gameplay of a flying game than HD resolutions. Same with a driving wheel.
That's all I got for ya. But try it before saying something like that next time, k?
I don't know why people keep bringing up Halo 3. I mentioned I didn't have any problems with Halo games whether I was on sd or hdtv. TF2 shouldn't have any problems as well either. I said certain games like CoD4. Seems the analogy of using the hori stick was a bad example.
I did some comparisons since I played both on sd and hdtv on and off for CoD4. LIke the examples I gave which everyone disregarded.
