Next-gen console controller wars (master race watches)

Number 1 - Xbox One Gamepad:

Look at this beauty.

It's perfection perfected.

Almost.

No gimmicks, just a good old traditional gamepad.

On top of it, every X1 comes with an additional Kinect controller which may not be that celebrated but let's give it a chance to see if it improves the over-all X1 experience, eh.

Number 2 - PS4 Gamepad:

While deff. an improvement from the DS3, Sony wouldn't be Sony if they didn't include a useless gimmick (remember SIXAXIS?) in the form of a touch surface in the middle.

This surface will likely be used in gimmicky ways and is un-necessary.

The grips and triggers otherwise look good and it should be good for fighting games. (if you're an amateur and don't play them with an arcade stick)

Playing shooters on this pad will still be problematic due to the un-ergonomic analog stick positions.

PS4 also has a camera controller but Sony charge for it extra and don't include it with every PS4. (good or bad move, you decide)

Number 3 - Wii U Gamepad:

The Wii U gamepad is somewhat unique in that it has a touch-screen in the middle and a lot of other motion-sensing and camera technologies.

This is interesting so as the gamepad is the most valuable thing on the Wii U. (more than the console's hardware itself)

Still, the gamepad is incapable of HD resolutions and few games really demonstrate it in a effective way.

As of now, the most interesting thing seems to be running a 2nd picture while playing on the big screen, which, according to Nintendo, is good when you can't watch your TV.

This controller may also be a source of confusion since it seems a lot of people still think it's just an addon for the Wii or a handheld system.

Perhaps the decision to make a screened gamepad was pre-mature on Nintendo's behalf and would be better if they went with their other, pro controller, which looks more like a "traditional" gamepad and more understandable to people.

So, which controller do you like best and why?

Discuss. ;)

ps4 controller for my ps4 and if sony doesn't include pc drivers in it then I'm just going to get a xbox one controller. I'm tired of using third party software when I use my ps3 controller on my pc.

Don't know, haven't used them.SaltyMeatballs

Haven't tried any. I'm really excited to use that Wii U Gamepad though.

wtf is the ugly pad doing on that list? Its not a next gen controller but a prototype no1 likes. X1 and ps4 both looks good but im way more excited to try the ps4 controller because it looks so much more different that we currently havesilversix_

The Wii U gamepad feels good in the hands considering the size of the controller. I never did like the sticks location on the PS controller. My vote goes for the X1. The sticks are in the right place and it looks very good.

The 360 pad is probably my favorite controller so far, so Ill probably like the x1s the most, but Im willing to give the PS4 controller a chance. I just hope there are wired options for my PC.wolverine4262

I can't find a link but I remember them saying it.

I'm gonna go with DS4 cos it sounds like it's ticking all the boxes and looks nice.

But the Master Race can use all of them so why choose? :cool:

Tell me how that goes.

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"][QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] how come whenever someone talks out against Nintendo you need to go into defense mode? When someone attacks nintendo they aren't attacking you personally. lolMichael0134567

Tell me how that goes.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]Don't know, haven't used them.Nintendo_Ownes7

Jeezus that's the biggest ripoff of a controller I've EVER seen.  Exactly like the X1 pad.

Don't know, haven't used them.SaltyMeatballs

Exactly lol.

This thread is absolutely pointless.

[QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"]Don't know, haven't used them.Obviously_Right

Exactly lol.

This thread is absolutely pointless.

As in - which controller seems better to you based upon looks.

You don't have to try out something first to have a leaning towards it. ;)

Even though I think that battlefield is a shitty game, I can't deny it's the most realistic shooting game out there (Realism doesn't always mean good. If reality was so super-duper awesome, we wouldn't need to appease our fantasies by playing games) BF4 dev said PS4 controller is superior. Deal with it.CallOfDutyRulez

That would be ArmA.

BF is most realistic console shooter, maybe. (SOCOM may be on-par)

Looks mean nothing when discussing controllers.

If I had to choose I'd go with the PS4 pad as the sticks aren't in stupidly uneven positions. I'm left handed after all.

I haven't used either controller so I don't know yet. The nice thing is we will be able to use either controller on the PC.

Later this month I'm going to the Gamestop Expo in Las Vegas and will have hands on time with both consoles, so I'll tell you after that.

MS created a perfect controller and have now improved it with less dead zones, better tactile and rumble feedback.

Sony has made some improvements as well and the touchpad is a nice addition. I still prefer the Xbox controller, and if I'm going to be playing racing games on my PC, I'm going to go with the Xbox One controller.

Both look great, really hoping the touchpad gets some integration into traditional control schemes (which it likely will only get from 1st parties).

I LOVE the 360 controller and the Wii U pad. The 360 controller has been very good to me. (My hands are too big to love the Ps3 controller)

Both xbox and playstation controllers have gotten worse IMO.YoshiYogurt

The Xbox One controller will probably wreck the rest if it's any better than the current one.

I like the xbox one controller.

every game (expect witcher 1) i have played on pc i use 360 controller. keyboard+mouse sucks
