Then he shouldn't have posted the dualshock in the first place. PS only got popular thanks to marketing i.e. memes.

>>2905795
yo don't get the retrolink of these.

the cord area nearest the controller stripped apart. i've never had this happen with any type of controller in my entire gaming life.

get the real deal and an adapter or wire your own.

PS4 controller is pretty rad. They fixed the d-pad and the touchpad has potential - you could map macros to it in theory, since the touchpad recognizes 6 distinct actions (swipe up, down, left, right, push left side, push right side) for emulation purposes.

nah
colored buttons + convex = way better than what NA got.

[Anonymous No.2905953]

>>2905950

I actually like how SNES has both convex and concave buttons, and I like the purple and light purle colors, but SFC colored buttons are definitely funner.

Dualshock is based on the SNES controller and literally improved upon it in every way.

Meanwhile, Nintendo went full retard with its next controller on the N64

[Anonymous No.2905973]

>>2905971
>improved upon it in every way.

Except for giving it one of the stupides d-pads ever conceived. The only good thing it did was adding 2 extra shoulder buttons.

Meanwhile the N64 controller allowed for creative developers like treasure to come up with really unique and awesome control schemes that can't be replicated with any other controller.
Of course, not every developer is Treasure.

DS1
Digital/ Dual Analoge/DS1
-Shitiest 1st party DPad at that time. Was only surpassed by DC and Xbone later.
The two with the sticks have their own issues. Pretty good controllers. Segmented dpad is full retard though.

I actually liked the D-Pad on all three of the current gen consoles.

[Anonymous No.2905985]

>>2905983
I meant Xbox there. Xbox and 360 are trash. Not exaggerating either those dpads are absolute shit.

Xbone got it right by copying Nintendo.

[Anonymous No.2905987]

>>2905793
The biggest problem with these guys are that the analog sticks are practically useless where located. It never felt right to use the left one, and the right one is one good for tank controls (which it excels at).

Other than that they are great.

[Anonymous No.2905989]

>>2905974
You're forgetting the vestigial GC D-pad.

[Anonymous No.2905990]

>>2905985
Nintendo's patent on the plus-shaped D-pad design finally expired. That's why.

[Anonymous No.2905992]

>>2905989
The only problem with that dpad is the size. Games of that time didn't really use it anyway.

[Anonymous No.2905994]

>>2905989
Had the d-pad actually felt like the NES or SNES pad, it would have been perfect where it was. Instead it was so stiff that often times you couldn't use it for precision motions because you'd press diagonal when you meant right. This was a huge problem when it came to the gameboy player.

[Anonymous No.2906006]

>>2905990
Dpads are more than just shape.

Whoever made the 360 dpad should had been fired. That thing is such a pile of trash. It uses a 3-piece design kinda sorta like old SEGA genesis controllers but with screws. It’s the example of how to fuck a dpad up.

XBone is a Nintendo copy. Single pivot and cross just like Nintendo. Simple and works very well. They use tactile switches though like in the 3ds.

[Anonymous No.2906009]

>>2905793
worst analog sticks of all time, the original playstation controller is way, way better.

[Anonymous No.2906013]

>>2906009

Word. Especially the original japanese one. The only problem is the short cord.

I can appreciate Sony putting 2 analogue sticks instead of just one, but they really do suck. They're awkwardly placed and they have a LOT of dead zone, not precise at all. Try playing a game like Starfox or Sin and Punishment or any game that requires precise aiming with a dualshock and suffer.

[Anonymous No.2906018]

>>2906013
The deadzone comes more from the developers then the sticks being "traditional" potentiometer sticks.

[Anonymous No.2906023]

>>2906018
Are more modern sticks coded wheel based, sorta like old mice?

[Anonymous No.2906026]

>>2906023
Beats me. Most modern stuff while still has a deadzone is a lot smaller than PS1/PS2.

[Anonymous No.2906031]

>>2906026
Eh, something tells me that new stuff is implemented with pots too, just better made. Thinking about the N64 controller makes me remember that era was the advent of thumb sticks, and clearly they've come a long way.

[Anonymous No.2906034]

>>2906031
Everything modern is pots. And everything is shit in terms of performance with deadzone to the N64's optical sticks and Saturn/DC magnets.

[Anonymous No.2906040]

Atari did analog sticks way better than Sony's half-assed attempt.

...wut? It's an analog stick, you move it around in different directions to control the game. You moved it with your hand instead of your thumb but it was still analog.

[Anonymous No.2906053]

>>2906050
It wasn't analog. It is literally a stick that presses a dpad. The Vectrex had an actual analog stick.

[Anonymous No.2906057]

>>2906050
It's a stick.

[Anonymous No.2906076]

The DualShock came too late, no devs wanted to develop games that actually required the analogs to play because that would reduce their potential consumers.

The Snes controller is truly the best controller of its time, the diamond shaped face buttons and shoulder buttons become a staple to every controller and the total of 6 action buttons was just perfect to port arcade games without awkward controls. It just wasn't perfect because the Snes controller is flat, not the most anatomically comfortable at all.

[Anonymous No.2906083]

>>2906075
your nomad is broken

[Anonymous No.2906085]

>>2906076
It's a bad design because the shoulder buttons force you to operate 4 buttons with 1 thumb. The 6 button Genesis controller also has 6 main buttons but you have a maximum of 2 per finger.

Objectively best controller is hitbox (stickless arcade stick). But I use a traditional arcade stick because I don't want to lose the ability to play in arcades.

[Anonymous No.2906104]

>>2906085
The 6 buttons Genesis controller also came too late, that's why I said "for it's time". Obviously the Snes controller isn't the best controller of them all, but it was the controller that nailed the most requisites of a new generation of games that were yet to come.

[Anonymous No.2906125]

>>2905793
It would be the best ever if the D-pad didn't suck ass.
DS4 is better in that aspect, but the triggers kinda annoy me.

I can't. That's also my favorite retro controller.
