Warhawk and The Dualshake Controller
You may recall Warhawk from the Sony conference demo, their flagship 'dualshake' controller product. A few of the news sites have gotten their hands on the game, and have impressions of what it's like to use the PS3 controller with the game. From the Gamespy article: "I was initially very skeptical of how this feature (which looked hastily tacked on to a regular joypad without a rumble) would work, but after a lengthy playtest of WarHawk's 30 percent complete single demo stage, I can safely attest to the excellent maneuverable quality possible from the very first moment you pick up and play. The slight delay at the Sony press conference between Phil Harrison's pivoting, and the on-screen tilting of his rendered joypad meant I was expecting the same problems during my WarHawk piloting. Not so. This works flawlessly, and immediately, and allayed any fears I had that this was a last-minute gimmick designed to tear interest away from the Wii."
Cue Nintendo-fanboy flames in three, two... aw fuck too late.
Chicken fried butter sticks? Do
...the buttons on the PS2 controller were pressure sensitive? Wow, the things you learn reading /.
I agree. This goes much better with the aesthetics of the console.
The gesturing power of my right hand alone simply dwarfs that of both hands tied together.
...ummmm.... nevermind, it's just too easy....
The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel...
