Hehe, so they finally realized that people don't want their graphics update and prefer gameplay? Seems like they are trying hard to make more people buy their PS3 instead of one of the other consoles.Quote:

They can't, Nintendo has whatsitcalled on both concept and technoligy.Quote:

If they steal the Wiimote, then we have a Wii with fantastic graphics :2thumbsup:
It would be a cheap move of course, and no way they could get away with it. (and didn't nintendo steal the analogue stick from sony?? The ps1 was there before the N64)
Of the two companies, Nintendo had the analogue stick first. It came on the default controller for the N64, whereas Sony brought out a modified version of their original control after the N64's launch. The analogue stick was the N64's equivolent of the Wii's motion sensor: a hyped unique feature intended to revolutionise gaming. It's one of the reasons Mario64 was so awe-inspiring - 3d and with analogue controls!
It was a cheap move, and they got away with it.
:goes back to hammering refresh in the hopes of catching one of amazon.uk's new batch of Wiis: Wish me luck, folks.
Ah ok, didn't know that. Never knew the ps1 started without the analogue stick. Good luck finding a Wii indeed it's madness, all are gone, next badge is already gone, probably won't be cuddling my Wii before 2007 :no:
:wailing rings about the arena: Gah! I had one! Ordered! All set! Perfect! It would have been here tomorrow! Then like a complete moron I followed the tip posted on the top of my order summery screen "If you buy any more items with 1-click ordering it will be added to this one to save you postage" So I added Zelda, rather than have it come seperately. Bang, order drops from dispatching today to dispatching 7th February. ~:mecry: GAH! ~:mecry:
Understandably I have now sent Angry Emails to amazon.
:froggy runs through every bad word known to frog-kind, twice over!: ~:mecry:
Nothing for me. Damn Facebook distracting me at the crucial moment. Argh. My cunning plan for making £200, gone!Quote:

Apologies for the thread hijack, BTW :bow:
I expect the PS4 will follow tradition and have two analogue sticks. Playstation controller design has been quite conservative and has followed the same pattern since the very beginning; the original controller (picture here) had two analogue sticks bolted onto it to form the dualshock, which recieved a few tweaks and the rumble feature to become the PS2's dualshock2. Not having seen a PS3 I can't comment much on the controller, but it seems like it went wireless and had a slight makeover but is otherwise unchanged from the dualshock2.
*cough* The original dual shock also had a rumble feature, hence the name :book:Quote:

Well, the sixaxis IS pretty different:Quote:

-it has rolland pitch control (perhaps yaw too), which means that like the Wii controller, it's montion sensitive. (The Wii controller is motion sensitive to all 6 axis i believe)
-it has NO rumble
-it's wireless
-it has slightly better analog sticks (or so I've heard)
The PS4 controller is anybody's guess. Right now it looks like Wii-style control is the future, expect rip offs very soon.
I never had a PS1 so I wasn't sure when that was added in.Quote:

IIRC - bearing in mind I wasn't taking much notice of the PS1 at the time - they gained rumble fairly close to each other, at least in the UK. Sony may have been first; I wasn't paying them much attention back then as there wasn't anything I wanted on their console.
Now you mention it, I do remember seeing some complaining over the removal of the rumble feature.Quote:
PS3 controller
A fair bit different, then. I wonder why it hasn't gained much attention in the bits and bobs I've read on the PS3? What I've seen has mostly concentrated on graphics and how powerful the console is, with a bit about blueray support. :cough: And a fair bit of grumbling about the lack of good games and nasty price :cough:
I think the oldest game that supported the DualShock that I have is Crash Bandicoot 2 (I'm *pretty* sure it supported analog control, the first one doesn't iirc), so that would mean both Nintendo and Sony released their 'rumble' add-ons pretty close to eachother.Quote:

Congrats- you will be pleased. Zelda: TP is a fantastic game. Does the European release also include WiiSports with the system?Quote:
