What do you expect out of next gen controllers?

For my birthday I bought myself a Razer Onza TE and I love it, I play better on both Xbox 360 AND PC. My group session has an Xbox 360 and I bring it their since they're short on controllers, I was practically dominating everyone yet I don't even play CoD or Gears of War. On PC I manage to make it to the top 3 on my team in most games like Crysis 2, BlackLight Retribution, even in TF2 I manage to pull of headshots from far distances with a sniper using as huntsman bow. People found it hard to believe I was playing with a controller in PC shooters. I've tried using it in Tribes Ascend but my only problem is that you can't adjust the sensitivity for controllers so it can hard sometimes if a enemy is moving faster than me.

I love the remapable triggers, it allow you to do more functions like a mouse and keyboard that you can't do with a normal controller like jump, aim, and reload all at the sametime. The sad thing is you can't map D-pad stuff to it.

I started abusing this function in gears of war which really made me an epic wall bouncer which made my group mates rage and wanted to take my controller from me.

My expectations for Sony and Microsoft next gen is to release a controller that is at least like the Razer Onza, if they just rehash the same gamepad with no extra buttons or improved deadzone I'm going to be disappointed.

How much is that controller?

depends where you buy it, I got mine from the gamestop 2 blocks from my house since I was impatient even though it is $10 cheaper online

about $55 for the TE and $45 for the normal one (which doesn't have adjustable sticks)

Dont mess up Sony.

Dualshock with adjustable sticks and concave triggers would be wonderful.

Pair of thumbsticks, triggers and some buttons.

I wonder if it will come back if you fling it

with a surprise screen the middle!

Sony will most likely continue with the same design, as most of their fans are adapting to the controller rather than the other way round.

MS will probably have the most erganomic controller.

Wii-U will bring the Wow factor again.

Kb/m as a standard, a choice but I want that choice to be there.

I have always found all current controller comfortable and wouldn't change the Xbox and PS controllers. I can imagine that Next-Gen that Sony and Microsoft will stay pretty much the same, maybe with a few minor changes. Nintendo will have a screen in the middle of there controller and I really want to try it out, its looks like it could get uncomfortable after a while.

Keep them the same. I don't want any gimmicks.

I would much rather Sony focus all their money and effort into the actual console, use DS3 to save money. If its uncomfortable for people they can release different shapes of DS3 pretty easily. But there is no need to actually change whats inside the controller.

Plus if it breaks, you can just hook in your PS3 controller.

I wish they would make the dualshock 4 a tad bigger. Other than that it's the perfect controller to me.

More precision, accuracy, and control. Less gimmicks like adding a screen.

:lol:

Just no.

The DualShock 3 is actually very comfortable. No need to change that.

Keep them the same. I don't want any gimmicks.

GamerwillzPS

The same? Hell no, no gimmicks sure, but the same no

hmm? someone doesn't understand ergonomics...not using that controller design was sony's worst mistake they used their own 15 year old dual shock design which is one of the most uncomfortable that controller pictured looks very ergonomic it would have been very comfortable.WilliamRLBaker

What makes that controller any more ergonomic than the Dualshock?

Dualshock with adjustable sticks and concave triggers would be wonderful.

Masenkoe

So basically the 360 controller.

What changes would you make then?

I can't see how a change could benefit DualShock 3 which is pretty perfect. However, the 360 controller could benefit from the change.

GamerwillzPS

No. The 360 controller is more ergonomic. Fact.

The D-pad sucks on the 360 controller. Fact. That's the only change really needed.

The 360 controller needs to be redesigned again.

That doesnt even make sense........the console and TV needs to be waterproof too.

GamerwillzPS

No, it really is a fact.

Ergonomics aren't an opinion.

There's a reason why way more people find the DS series of controllers somewhat uncomfortable. Trust me, I've spent a combined total of 15+ years with them, and they're simply uncomfortable. Not Sega genesis, dreamcast, Saturn or Xbox orginal, or GCN uncomfortable, but more than the 360 or Xbox revamp uncomfortable.

I disagree.

I'm loyal to PlayStation since PS1, and I loved the DualShock controllers. They don't need any changes at all.

Seriously?

Combine a 2 year old with a bucket of water and a PS3 controller.

Does it makes sense now?

Yes, as you've shown me.

At least I'm willing to give the topic an actual look. You just blindly charge forward and give your vapid opinion based on some weird/idiotic loyatly to a company instead of quality.

Btw, it's cute that you give a company a marraige like devotion, but newsflash, they don't give a **** about you and will abandon you at the nearest profit point (see: Kinect, Wii.) Not that that doesn't make sense, but it does in fact make it pretty ****ing stupid to give a company that sort of devotion.

It seems that you don't know what "loyalty" means. I suggest you to look it up on the dictionary.

It's silly that you automatically classed me as a fanboy because I like PlayStation. You are the one of those who makes this place dumber.

If you loved Xbox all the way from the beginning and still like it, that means you are loyal to it. Understand?

Do System Wars a favour and don't be so stupid. Calm down with the word of "fanboy" in your mind. If you actually go in the real world, you would realise how dumb you've been saying to me.

Keep them the same.

GamerwillzPS

So you don't want them to work on something to increase precision and turnspeed control?

I don't have any loyalty to any system. I ditched sony because of the disk error (and somewhat because MS had Rare and Fable, but we saw how that turned out). I'm ditching MS because of RRoD next generation (and because most of their garbage now is Kinect). I base my purchases on the quality of products (including franchises).

You're a prime example of a fanboy. Don't lable me as such, because I'm pretty far from it.

Oh, and you can't (uh, sort of imply?) that someone is dumb with the sentence "If you actually go in the real world, you would realise how dumb you've been saying to me."

Checkmate.
