I guess they plan to save time with the whole "ripping off Nintendo's idea" thing and just do it immediately instead of waiting a few years like the Kinect.

I would love it if the PS4 did the same thing, just to see people's reactions.

Don't know why everyone's pissy about the tablet controller.

It's like the DS's dual-screen, I love it. Inventories and maps in the bottom screen is awesome. Take stuff cluttering the one screen and put them on a sub-screen instead, keep the big TV screen for the game, great stuff.

I think the issue is more related to the fact that you'll likely end up with a controller that's total **** to hold.

Most comments from Wii U at E3 has been that it's comfortable!

I thought it looked awfully big at first when it was revealed, but it really is much smaller.

Really gotta play with it first hand, everyone's just jumping to huge conclusions.

Well s***. I was hoping to stick with Xbox next gen.

My issue with the tablet controller is that I don't want to play with any of these gimmicks. I want to play the damn games. I don't want to have to buy a new highly expensive controller to play with my buddies. I do not care about whatever lame gimmick they can attach to this thing.

These controllers still have buttons. They are not actual tablets.


You'll still be playing the game with dual analog sticks, a d-pad, and face and shoulder buttons.

This is an old rumor at that. I don't think Microsoft will do anything to jeopardize the base they've built on the Xbox and, whatever alternative control scheme that comes with the successor, will still have a traditional way to play games like Halo and Call of Duty that people associate with the Xbox brand.

In Nintendo's case, this IS a step in the more traditional. Their main controller is no longer a wand. With how much everyone despises the Wiimote here you'd think everyone would be happy that their main controller can actually play the same as traditional controllers.

also the idea that Microsoft would be copying Nintendo here is kinda funny, when there are far larger forces at work making the tablet such an appealing control interface for a casual audience.

So instead of looking at one screen that portrays all the information you need comfortably, you can keep moving your head up and down to look between two screens for no reason?

SOUNDS GREAT

are you serious here

this is just wayyyy to exaggeratedly stupid

I don't need to switch between looking at maps and inventories ever 2 seconds, and controllers are in plain view of your eyes - you don't move your head at all. Do you really have trouble playing DS games like this?

A tablet controller slightly larger than an iPhone would be awesome. If it was just a slate that each game could program to serve it's own needs that is.

No they're not

I'm actually trying to do this just to prove you wrong. I am holding my DS3 like I usually do and I'm trying to read the "Sony" on the controller without moving too much. It's ****ing hard.

At worst it's moving your head up and down, and at best it's like looking down to your keyboard (which I definitely do as I type, but if I'm playing a game? Never).

You can easily see both DS screens in a typical field of view unless you have the DS smashed in your face.

Even holding the controller up at shoulder level, I have to completely unfocus my eyes from the TV to read my controller. How is that immersive at ALL?

I don't even know why you're defending this. It's easily the worst part of the new controller. Talk about being able to stream video straight to the controller to play it, THAT is a good feature.

If Microsoft decided to go with a tablet controller, which is highly dubious, it would be more because of the success of the iPad and popularity and growth of tablets in general over something Nintendo started.

Well right I know that Microsoft is moving that direction anyway. Windows 8 will be touchscreen friendly. I'd just like for them to buck that trend when it comes to game consoles. Maybe we're atypical here but it seems like most people just want a standard controller and are cool with things not changing.

I feel confident that a standard controller, probably very similar to the 360 controller, will be packed into the next Xbox. I don't think Microsoft will be quick to alienate their established audience. I do think they're going to explore new control methods, though - Kinect 2.0 will likely be a big thing for them.

Defending? What? I'm the one that brought up the entire idea of using it like that because I like it. I love having my map/inventory on my bottom screen in DS games, so I'm excited about trying it with consoles.

Wow.... you're right

Here I am, on a Monday night at 11:30, speculating about something. Oh god, what has my life become? I used to be successful, okay? I wasn't always like this! I swear! How far have I fallen? If only we had this argument earlier GMUN, I could've actually made something out of my life. Now I think it's too late for me to even try.

Fair point, I can't say that what I'm excited about will work out perfectly. I may be jumping the gun. But there are far too many people auto-assuming the exact opposite, that it is unplayable garbage, when all comments on the controller have been very positive.
