Pft...

what ever. im getting about sick of what Cliffy B has to say. The mans made one truly great title. and it's sequel isn't even released yet. and yet he thinks he's suddenly in some position to offer insight to the future of the industry. egotistical douchebag much.. Man somebody needs to Itagaki his ass and knock him down a few notches....

I here you, man.

I'm just liking that guy less and less everyday...

get rid of some

how can you really get rid of buttons. they have been this layout since ps1 analog, except for xbox but it still had the two buttons black and white.

Um

That's exactly his point. Nothing has changed, util the Wii. Motion capture technology has substantially improved since the PS1 days. His point is it's all buttons, not enough movement. Heck even adding a split down the middle of the controller so you can twist it would make games more interesting.

I agree

Why can't they be like Hideo Kojima or Hinorobu Sakaguchi. These two guys, although famous, still respects what fans want rather than what they want.

hey

but why change what is good and works

Movement - NO

Moving the controller about all gimmick-like for Mario is just that, a gimmick. The current layout of buttons (PS3 and 360) is just about perfect. Furthermore, I have never held a controller so comfortable and easy to use as the 360 one.

exactly

That's what i was trying to say in my other post.

sound like my dad.

I'd much rather prefer lots of buttons then tons of button combos

...

I think the 2 best controllers I've ever used was the Xbox 360 pad very closely followed by the SNES pad. While the snes pad had fewer buttons than the 360 pad it fit the game design and limitations at the time. It doesn't matter how many buttons a controller has, it's how it's designed and how games map the controls that make it good or confusing. I think the PS3 pad is quite nice, if not a little light, but the MGS4 gun aiming and CQC controls are poor. It's not that the PS3 pad is confusing... It's been perfect in some games, just that developers really need to think about what and where needs to be pressed.

Yep

Kinda hard to believe the guy who had quite a hand in making Unreal wants less buttons on controllers. I've lost a bit of respect for him

Old man

He just isnt down with the kids this man, he is to old to adapt to a new better controller, like he cant work out mobile phones (cell's). Any other person can play with them easy.

I have a Wii. And I can say with absolute certainty that it is the first, last, and only motion control console I will ever buy. Not to mention the last Nintendo product I ever buy.

No motion sensing crap in shooter style games, thank you. Also if he makes gears of war 2 with the A button doing EVERYTHING from jumping, rolling, running, and taking cover I'm not getting it. That's why there's lots of buttons! So the character doesn't get behind cover (on the wrong side) when you're trying to run!

same

same here about the 360 controller, it's fine
