    Edit: I dont think day 3 will be a controller. Day 3 has to be HUGE news.

    I think you're seriously overestimating Valve. It's going to be an announcement for the controller with no pictures, and almost as much information as today's announcement.

    When's it coming? Sometime
    What will it be like? To be discussed later
    Who is making it? To be discussed later
    Can I fuck it? Maybe
    Can it fuck me? To be discussed later

    The PS4 controller is better than the dualshock right?

    Because man

    the dualshock is not great for lots of things

    Half Life 3 is written in the controller. It's the only way it can be played.

    Where do I insert the controller? Do I eat it? Or should I put it in my butt?

    i will say this

    based on my experiences at pax valve has got a long, hard road ahead if they want to make a better controller than the ps4's

    What's so much better about it compared to the Dual Shock?

    shape, size, grip, feel

    it is better than the gamecube controller, and that's my favorite controller ever

    xbox controller is mostly fine

    the dpad is slapped ass

    but it's still better than the PS3 controller

    I PREACH TRUTH TO YOU NON-BELIEVERS

    but seriously though the 360 controller's serviceable at best as far as i'm concerned, i haven't had a chance to try the xbone's controller

    ps4's controller is stellar and i bet it's going to be the favorite for this generation of console gaming, but i really want to know what valve can possibly make that has a chance of toppling the 360 controller for PC game usage considering how popular it is

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    The 360 controller, excepting the d-pad, is the best controller I've ever used. I consistently loathe sony's designs. I've been told this is because I have large hands. Really I would love to be able to use a 360 controller on my PS3 so I could never have to physically touch a piece of sony hardware again.

    ps3 controller hurts my hands

    everything hurts my hands really

    avian bones i tell ya

    i used to get blinding pain from holding the original form factor DS for more than an hour

  • TheStigTheStig Registered User regular
    I don't like the placement of the left stick on the ps4 controller but if they fixed that thing where the sticks are too tall and loose I'll probably like it enough.

    Also I wish they would stop adding ridiculous shit on controllers. I'd like to be able to buy an official controller for less than $50 please.

  • SnowbeatSnowbeat i need something to kick this thing's ass over the lineRegistered User regular
    i don't even have large hands and the 360 controller is streets ahead of anything else currently on the market

    maybe it pales in comparison to incredible futuretech like the ps4 controller but i couldn't comment on that

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    my favorite controller is still the SNES gamepad but that's mostly for nostalgic reasons

    my original pads from the early nineties both quit working last year

    it was pretty depressing

    the replacement is too stiff

    i doubt there's more than $30 worth of electronics in them as it is

    i suspect controllers have creamy profit margins for all hardware makers in service of keeping the console prices low

  • DarmakDarmak RAGE vympyvvhyc vyctyvyRegistered User regular
    I honestly don't know what Valve could say about their new controller that would be terribly exciting. Wireless? Force feedback? Dual sticks and maybe a d-pad that isn't shitty? 4 buttons, 2-4 triggers? What else is there without moving into weird gimmick territory?

    Their controller is a steering wheel with buttons, only it has like a steampunk theme and it's one of those turn valves for pipes.

    the industry has already collectively agreed what features are needed on a modern controller

    the trick is making a device that's ergonomically sound

    the new controller will be a fucked up oversized tablet device with an antiquated touch screen and all of the new games will have some gimmick worked in to validate the existence of the touch screen

  • EncEnc A Fool with Compassion Pronouns: He, Him, HisRegistered User regular
    Yeah, I imagine it will be a fairly standard controller with the only added gimmick being some sort of easy keyboard synergy.

    valve will derive inspiration from the controller for the classic game "simon"

    The xbone controller was pretty nice when I used it at pax during the omegathon. Not that different from the 360 controller, but slightly improved dpad and good stick resistance.

    can you make it so only one or two worthwhile games are released for it per year

    As a poor person, I don't like waiting five years for a five hundred dollar computer to be able handle the latest graphics shit that is now terribly outdated, so the Steambox is a fantastic proposition for me.

    I don't care about HL3.
