position of the joysticks on the ps3 controler

I think the design is fine the way it is.

Switching the position of the d-pad and the left analog stick doesn't make much of a difference to me, and that just completely screws over pretty much every other genre on the market, especially fighting games.

Now, if the PS3 controller lacked the triggers, I would be complaining, but, it has them.

ive got both systems and i cant stand shooters for ps3. the triggers on the 360 feels just like a real rifles trigger. who wants to shoot while pressing a button. not me. if you dont believe me hold a real rifle and you'll see what i mean.

although for racing, sports, and adventure games the ps3 controller is superior.

Out of curiosity, I wonder if anyone has tried plugging a 360 controller into a PS3 using the plug n' play kit to see what happens. Electrocute the user maybe?

I ain't trying it with mine though lol.

As for the PS3 analogs, I love 'em the way they are. The PS design is still the best and comfiest controller overall for me. And I can attest to the durability of the old Dual Shock design. Don't know about the Sixaxis (yet) but I'd thrown my PS2 controller a LOT of times in frustration and never had to replace it in 4 years of use whereas I busted my first Xbox controller S from just one such episode.

[QUOTE="Roushrsh"]the playstation controller is easier to use, and u can master it faster ex: pick up any game and be able to know every control , motion movement , combo ,etc in the game just by looking at the game or clicking only the square, tringle, cirlce and x button and feeling the controller in ur hand lolGameArtGuy

And for an earlier reply, yes I have fired a weapon. Did my Amy training in Fort Sill, OK. Delta 1/19 baby.

love the sony style controller,I hate the 360 controller, to huge.stlcardinals

PS3 has the best analog sticks out of all the console controllers. It has more degrees of precision.MGS9150

i agree with both of you...

also, the analog sticks are placed better for the ps3 than the 360 IMO

But the 360 triggers are definately closer to a "rifle" feel than the SixAxis. Personally the Duel Shock has always been my least favorite controller design due to the fact Sony forgot about ergonomics when they designed it. Also since all games now use analogue as opposed to digital control it makes more sense to have a thumbstick in the primary control spot (above the left hand grip). The SixAxis isn't bad, but I don't believe it is as good as either the xbox or gamecube controllers. Sony probably went with the SixAxis because they had 120 million gamers who were familiar with it and they didn't want to change it.

-Well, I will agree that the 360 triggers do feel more like a rifle than the SixAxis', but, I am perfectly fine with both trigger setups.

-As for your comment about the Dualshock, I disagree completely, I actually adjusted to the Dualshock quite well, and it fit very well into my hands. The original Xbox controller was horribly annoying though, way too big for its own good, and kind of annoying on the sides, the 360 controller is designed much better.

-As for analog sticks being requires to be in the primary control spot, it isn't really necessary to have it there, either, it doesn't add to the ergonomics of the controller, doesn't help make FPS easier to control, and pretty much places the d-pad in an uncomfortable position, which makes fighting games suffer, imo.

-And yes, the SixAxis is the way it is because 120 million+ gamers use it, and know how it works, so completely changing the design would be foolish.

I love it. All those years with a dual shock, feels like home. Viva la 6XX*.

*6XX patented by me to make it easier to write SIXAXIS

you can honestly say shooting with the r2 shoulder button feelsbetter than the right trigger on the 360 . Man you fanboys are RICOLAAAAAAAAAAAAA, REDICULOUS.cLAssic_BLUE

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!!!!!! ARTILERY!!!!!!!!!cLAssic_BLUE

i wish they would of made a new design for the ps3's controler pad, i always thought the joysticks were badly positioned on it. ive never been able to play a shooter very well on the ps2, or ps3 for that matter. i think thedesign of the xbox and xbox 360 controler is better, much more confortable. anybody else thinks the ps3's controler should be redesigned ?

hated the xbox's controller layout, cus i am much used to PlayStation's controller since PS1.

I am happy Sony kept it as it is.

I did own x360 and I think that x360 controller is best there is. PS3 controller is good but not as good x360 controller. Everyone has own opinions...
