Game Informer: DualShock 3

MuGen · 03-22-2005, 02:59 PM

Nitram, I'd like to thank you for your hard work finding that site with the thorough explanation of how the Analog Joysticks for the 2 controllers work.

If you do read carefully.... it doesn't matter how they explain it from Everything2.com to Howstuffworks...... My point was reached in both sites. They are totally different in design. Using Photocell's and LED's the N64 does, and using two Potentiometers the DualShock2 does.

In essence, you just totally proved me right by providing those sites. Btw... DualShock was for PSX too, so you can also compare old gen with old gen with DualShock and N64 controller..... of course both using totally different methods of output.

You just chose to compare old gen to this gen. But DualShock, and DualShock 2 are the same controllers..... only difference is Pressure Sensitivity.

I just wanted to say that I took apart my N64 controller (and stick) and it's like Nitrams site shows: 2 axes.

The argument isn't about what the joystick uses.... the argument is that the ps2 analog joystick and the n64 analog joystick are different components and not the same.

everyones is. thats what it looks like inside. kyuzo was saying how they are different and operate different, one being a full 360 degrees and one reading more of certain points or certain sets of degrees, not every one.

so his reply to this argument was to show him the inside of a controller. strange, but i guess its one way to go about an argument.

Yes it matters. everything2.com was wrong. The n64 is not a 12-way joystick, it's a real analog stick.

The desings of the N64 and DS are not completely different. Only the technology that detects the movement of the X and Y axis is different, but the rest of the designs are very similar.

No I proved you wrong. You said that the n64 was not analog and it is.

Here's another proof that Sony is not innovative. They just copy stuff.

MuGen · 03-28-2005, 03:15 PM

this has been discussed already in it's own thread.

The Duggler · 03-28-2005, 03:36 PM

really?

I'll check it out.

lol. strange funny little guy.

curious tho, note tho i never said sony or anyone else was innovative or not innovative.. But if they go after Nintendo next for thier rumble, considering they went after MS, then Sony, does that mean nintendo is not innovative? cuz an example for one should be same as the example on the other. or will you just make up another excuse?

note i never said they will or even can go after nintendo, only IF.

To be quite honest, the only innovation was the first ever console.

Ever since then it's been improved graphics and gameplay.

I wouldn't say a respective brand is innovative at the least. However there are respective innovations worth noting.

Nintendo Touch Screen
Sony's EyeToy (more than just a webcam gimmick)
A lot of Pelican accessories.

Case and point.... Things have been innovative through out timelines upon timelines. But I would never go so far as to say one company has been innovative their whole time in the industry.
