What did you think was red octane?

Red octane is the company that originally made dance pads and then teamed up with harmonix on guitar hero. Red octane did the hardware and initially acted as a publisher as well, while harmonix developed the actual games. Activision bought red octane and subsequently used neversoft to do the rest of the guitar hero games. Viacom bought harmonix, which then developed rock band.

Red Octane was the company that was sold to Activision as part of their purchase of Guitar Hero from Harmonix. They only ever made Guitar Hero stuff.

nah this is pretty great

I have one of these.

My friends and I have taken to calling it The Duke.

I also have a Hori pad I use exclusively for BlazBlue (I have a really hard time using a stick in that one for some reason). We call that one The Duchess.

Don't be silly, the Duke is the original Xbox controller.

The original Xbox controller is also completely irrelevant, and The Duke is too delicious a term to leave lying in my closet.

Cilla Black

They're supposedly bringing it back!

people with freakish big hands (me) all over the world rejoice!

I liked that controller too, but I feel it's a bit unnecessary. The 360 controller strikes a good balance, and the face buttons aren't stupidly close together.
