E3 Controller Previews

Posted by timothy on from the wish-they'd-settle-on-kinesis-boards dept.

spides writes: "If you thought the original X-Box controller was huge, you're in for a rude awakening. At E3 this past week, Microsoft and Capcom unveiled their 40 button control station for the X-Box's 'realistic' mech simulator Steel Battalion. On the same day, Nintendo and Sega unveiled the new keyboard peripheral for use with the Gamecube version of Phantasy Star Online, which can only be described as the world's largest conventional controller with a keyboard stuck between the directional pad and the usual buttons."

  1. Another reason why Sony will always win... by nomayo · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The PS/PS2 dual shock controllers are by far the most comfortable in the industry. If Microsoft would have paid attention to Sony's design rather than the Dreamcast controller design, they would have made a much better product.

      I know and I agree with you. Enjoy non-news and moderation abuse. I thought this was important, but the editors didn't think so.

  7. Usama Bin Laden dead! by IAgreeWithThisPost · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    KABUL (AP) - Osama Bin Laden was murdered, but how she was killed can't be determined, the Kabul medical examiner said Tuesday in a disclosure that deepened the mystery behind the 55-year-old terrorist who disappeared more than six months ago.

    "In this case there was not sufficient evidence to ascertain conclusively the specific injury that caused his death," Dr. Abdullah Muhammed told a news conference.

    "However, the circumstances of his disappearance and his body on recovery are indicative that he died through the acts of another person, which is the definition of a homicidal manner of death."

    Did anyone else have to scroll back up to make sure this comment wasn't posted by John Katz? The stylistic similarities are just plain creepy.
