The back alleyways of CES are filled with shameless knockoffs of products created by Leading BrandsTM and the DualFX controller for the Playstation 2 falls squarely into that camp. The controller (left), is designed for use in FPS games, and apparently allows shooting to be controlled via a dedicated gun-type control, and movement controlled by a left-hand gamepad. Hands-on reports say the controller is a little inconsistent, and not worthy of its $60 price. Guess we'll keep prowling those back alleyways for more inspired knockoffs.
I guess it was only a matter of time before this happened. I think the new style of control will either make or break the Revolution.
This entry indicates a controller for the PS3, yet "Play Station 2" is displayed in the post. Despite this controller being inconsistent (read: "horrible waste of mony"), I look forward to see innovative third party controllers.
I like the idea of how right-hand controller is implemented. Itmust be very handy to shoot the enemies ;)
So, it's a light gun with an extra d-pad? Big whoop. Just use a normal light gun and hold another controller in one hand.
Number 2: Where did you get PS3 from? The title of the article says PS2, and the article itself refers to it as a PS2 controller.
I think it's great that they'll try to make revolution knock-offs for other gaming consoles. If they work, great. If not, there's always the normal controller. Can't say that for the revolution...
(shakes head) Revolution does have the original shell controller to also play games. So gamers have two options: play with the revolutionary controller or a wavebird like one
Revolution gives player's two options: you can play with the revolutionary controller or a wavebird type one
whew, at least you guys didn't post stupid comments like "sony copied nintendo again! wah!!!"
Too bad it was a lame idea when Nintendo had it.
Gyration was first, with the GyroMouse for the Mac and PC (circa late 90s early 2000). Nintendo has since found it necessary to purchase a majority ownership in Gyration, to help with the Revolution controller.
I hope Nintendo sue the shit out of the copycat fucks
as usual! another nintendo-fake controller for sony...
sony is only good to stole
#6, james
#10 just didnt get here soon enough. lol
btw its obviously 3rd party #10. i hate sony too but u got to use some logic. sony didnt make that
sony did not make this controller-a third party manufacturer with no creative minds obviously did this, so don't put the blame on sony to be fair......
I was talking about 3rd party rip-offs only 2 days ago. I imagine Logitech coming out with a decent one. If its only an add-on for FPS games and it works to near perfection, them I'm all for 3rd party. You shouldn't be allowed to monopolize a certain product.
At least Nintendo's design looks somewhat ambidextrous. Meaning I can hold the "gun" with my left hand and the controller part with my right. No way I'll be able to do that with the SplitFish. Not that I ever would want a monstrosity like that anyways.
You guys need to get a dam life. All you do is pollute the dam internet with this shit....get a real job, and stop playing games. This is the shit you are worried about. You better hope you can practice shooting a gun so when these rag head assholes come for us, you might be able to save yourself. Wake up, the world is passing you by.
