Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

my problem comes from viewing the monitor for long periods (design reasons)
but yeah.. 1 foot.... my goodness, and with 1 fott the wire goes up if stretched, 'ere go causing a tripping incident. I like my 6 foot Playstation 2 controller :D

I also recently gave Dark Samurai an Extension cable for his GC controller too...

Have you used the Logitech MX700/MX1000 Wireless Mouse yet Null? *creams*

All my concern was the fact that you have to take time to figure out where each thing in a game will go to which motor which means more man hours. Its awesome and all to have 6 individual motors, I just fear that smaller studios are going to have a tough time getting good games out on time.

That was not a Sony bash even though it may sound that way Null. This is an overall feeling of the industry. The reason DS isnt getting as much support is because to use the Touch Screen, you have to spend the time programming the entire game to work with it and with the 2 screens, even more time spent.

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

It's basically the same as programming vibration function into a game. Except this time, they choose from 6 pin point motors, to isolate the vibration. Unless the game gets complicated and it has to vibrate in more than 1 motor, for example in a shooting game when you get shot in the leg and the shoulder causing 2 motor vibrations.

But, other than those complex games, it shouldn't be a problem to program individual shock.

i have a MX500 but the MX510 is by far the best mouse ever made. higher refresh rate then both the 700 and 1000. and no betteries needed. :p

i really believe the console will do most that work. i see it as a surround sound system, the reciever is what devides the sound up and tells it where to go. the games i think will simply tell the 'reciever' in the console where contact was made, the console then sends the info to the controller. i dont see this taking much time at all for developers

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

Programing a game to rumble at six different motors is much much less complicated than programing a game to run on two different screens. I think it would probably be a very slight increase in the amount of development that goes into a game.

As for wireless I don't really care for, but the Nintendo Wavebird I prefer over my regular controllers. Wireless can be good if done right.

Hey Kyuzo, what happened to your old sig?

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

That's why we almost always put our consoles on the floor. :)

And GM farked up Kyuzo's signature, I think that's why he picked a new one.

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

farked? what does that mean?

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

I made the new one, because I was in the mood... LOL... and I guess this will be up until ps3 is revealed, yash?

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

*checks my mouse* hmm, its still using the same RECHARGEABLE batteries from almost a year ago. And plus, 1000 can go I think 27 days without a charge.

But nullify my concern because I knew it was gonna happen. I wasnt sitting here bashing Sony but meh

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

i know all about the mice. i didnt say they were bad, but for online FPS gaming, a wired one is better. as i said, mx510, best mouse ever made. nothing wrong with the 700 or 1000, just unneeded concerns and more things to do. if i had a wire or without a wire, my mouse is a couple feet away from the computer, theres no point in not having a wire.

but main thing is as i said, higher refresh rate, better for gaming with a wired mouse. ;)


and i dunno what you mean about your concern or what this has to do with sony. *shrug* thought we were talking about logitech mice.

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
 

I dunno, some kind of 1337 word I guess.

Thought it meant something like "messed up, ruined".

Re: Game Informer: DualShock 3
