What a way to trick snoybois into having shit battery life and inflated prices!

Nobody wanted a touch pad. Nobody wanted a speaker in the controller. Nobody wanted a mic in the controller
i thought gyro aim was a meme until i played botw, makes small adjustments with a bow much easier albeit
it is unless the game is designed with it
but 99.5 percent of games are designed without it
so yeah enjoying playing only nintendo games and brute forcing support into pc games from almost 30 years ago which can barely support the input even with it because keyboards have keys to actually use while you have 8 buttons to use on a gamepad
>want to turn it on
>realize I always play sitting in weird positions
It worked with the Switch being a dedicated handheld device. It’s more awkward with a controller
seth harder
Works on my machine

I did
This but just the touchpad. That was legitimately a cool feature and I wish more PS4 games used it.
It's the mic for me I love when characters suddenly speak through it, I loved it on the Wii too don't know why Nintendo stopped but I'm glad Sony brought it back.
oh yeah that is cool and catches me off guard too
not that anon by the way
I haven't played very many games that used a built in mic in a neat way, except maybe SSB Brawl when you select a character. I'm sure there are some really cool contextual uses for it though.
Fatal frame 4 on the wii had the characters speak through it
it's made it more immersive
but that shit is impossible to emulate on real wii remotes so you're better off letting it play through the computer
I smiled when ada spoke to me through my controller in re4 🙂
I like when the phone rings in Cyberpunk and triggers lock cause I stalled the car.
the touchpad is great, i use it most games.
the mic in the controller makes me paranoid lmao, but i've seen normies use it a lot
There's a big mute button on it
I played Yakuza on an Xbox and I was sad when the phone rang and there was no mic in the controller so it just came from the tv.
If Sony were smart, they'd have a touch screen with 400 uses instead of a pad that's only ever a big select button
If they were smart
>if sony was smart they would spend more money on something that would be expensive for the consumer and uncomfortable to use
>mic is on by default
>smoke alarm beeps
The controller with the haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and mic is literally my fave thing about playing PS5 games.
I know the Xbox controller is more practical and has longer battery or whatever but I don't care I fricking love controller gimmicks.
The only cool thing about the PS5 is the controller.
This tbh.
Having a right analog stick is pure copium for people who imprinted on the controller that came with their parent's DVD player.
Gyro does most of the heavy lifting and the right analog just isn't suited to the sheer breadth of tasks that could be done when camera controls are already being handled by something else.
Nobody wants a touchpad in the middle of the controller where it can only be a gimmick, but completely redesigning the right half of the controller to accommodate it will just make the baby ducks quake in fear because mommy is gone, who are they supposed to follow around now? Even the Steam controller ended up caving after they had already finalized their ergonomics.
>Xbox controller is more practical
The 360 controller was initially designed around heavily limiting game design so that it could exploit how overworked the industry was at the time, since it would be easier to just sloppily implement standard Microsoft shit like Xinput, GFWL or WMF to handle multiplats, something that would sabotage their competitors who were stronger in different areas that could no longer be exploited for compatibility reasons.
Xinput was more heavily limited than Dinput in terms of what it could accommodate, the DPad became useless as an actual input method and later on the Xbox controller line would wienerblock gyro controls well after they became recognized as useful.
Controller gimmicks were the norm before everyone started obsessing about the two big titans of normalhomosexualry.
I used mine plugged in. On PC.
But it all makes sense.
How many previous gen games used Walkie-talkie/radio communication... how many a map were you can rotate/zoom in... a lot - so it made perfectly sense and they sticked with for backwards compatibility reasons
Playing Racing Games with Gyro is pretty nice even if i cant drive for shit.
you vill like the 6 hour, half the capacity of a single AA battery life and you vill be happy.
Why doesn't someone just make a fricking Xbox 360 controller with 4 back buttons.
im a poorgay and have never owned a controller with vibration. can someone explain the appeal
it's for immersion in singleplayer games
pretty much the controller shakes in your hand when something on screen is happening and the devs decided it was important of a moment that it deserves vibration
mm i see thank you
sounds interesting i can see how it might make games feel more "immersive"
In the case of Lies of P, combined with the sound design, the rumble implementation made simple actions like attacking, parrying and critical strikes a lot more satisfying than they would be with rumble off
I need a new controller, does the nintendo pro controller has analog triggers?
poorgay.
built in mic can be set to disabled by default.
it's awesome for GTA V online which is one of the most played games out there.
nobody wanted shit ergonomics either
Touch pad sucks. Controller speaker can be cool when used but no game uses it and the mic is also pretty useful. I just used it last night while playing with friends
Those things barely cost anything and don't impact battery life either.
Haptic feedback, gyro and adaptive triggers are game changers on the other hand. Actually makes it enjoyable to play games like Gran Turismo without having to set up a bulky wheel and pedals.
The touchpad is handy on PC
Speaker and microphone though you're right
