any impressions yet? i'd really like to pre-order.

btw, it burns me that the 360 pads are wired while the ps3 pads are wireless. fk MS for still imposing their "no wireless 3rd party" policy. that reason alone makes me wanna buy a ps3.

 

[Drkirby]

Eh, the MadCatz brand... I don't trust that thing to hold up.

 

[Kintaro]

Wait till CES is what MarkMan will tell you.

 

[Jirotrom]

I think those are the ones MarkMan is a part of, Im inclined to believe they are going to be good.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

I don't trust MadCatz either.

 

[gregor7777]

Eh, the MadCatz brand... I don't trust that thing to hold up.

I wouldn't pay $50, but it it lasted for a few years for $20, I'd be in.

 

[GuessWho]

any pics of the ps3 pads?

Just buy a damn stick or use the PS3 controller...you can get a cheap stick for 200０円　and then buy the arcade parts for 2000円. Mod the stick if you need to.

Don't waste money on crap you know won't help you in the long run. The DS3 is a decent controller of SSF2THDR and I use my own modded stick.

I'm sorry, but I don't like that MadCatz controller...Hori should've made the controller.

some of use prefer a pad. i have a stick already but it's sometimes a hassle to always position it and posture up for correct play. with a pad i can lie in bed and play fatigue free.

btw, i'm not a fattie.

 

[Dash Kappei]

Neat.

How much and when? Are they gonna release it in EU?

6 buttons on the face of the pad > 4 buttons on the face of the pad

Have you used this pad? Got any impressions?

6 buttons on the face plus a Saturn-like d-pad shits on any default pad out there, so has the potential to be a great option for pad users. Not to mention to use for other games.

 

[rollingstart]

The main thing I want to know is if the wireless PS3 pad will also work on the PC or not.

 

[GotchaForce]

I'll buy 2 for each system if this has good word. LOVED the last gen SF pads.

 

[CurseoftheGods]

I really want to like those pads, but I have my doubts. MarkMan took a part in them and he likes Tekken.

Here's hoping they're not as shitty as that series.

 

[Durante]

Will either of them work with a PC? I have no interest in SF4 but I'd be very interested in a PC compatible pad with a great D-pad.

Yeah, if they could provide Bluetooth drivers for that I'd buy 2 or 3.

 

[n3ss]

any impressions yet? i'd really like to pre-order.

btw, it burns me that the 360 pads are wired while the ps3 pads are wireless. fk MS for still imposing their "no wireless 3rd party" policy. that reason alone makes me wanna buy a ps3.

Still not as good as a Saturn pad...

 

[CO_Andy]

According to a Shoryuken member it plays just like a Saturn controller from the D-pad to the mouse-click shoulder buttons.

 

[Fatghost]

I'll pick up a few of them.


I wonder if you could swap the dpad out from these and put them on a 360 wireless pad...

 

[Azih]

According to a Shoryuken member it plays just like a Saturn controller from the D-pad to the mouse-click shoulder buttons.

Daammmit, no want spend money.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Yoink!

 

[Spike Spiegel]

Yoink!

I ordered the Chun Li PS3 pad, when I pre-ordered my CE copy of the game.

 

[n3ss]

According to a Shoryuken member it plays just like a Saturn controller from the D-pad to the mouse-click shoulder buttons.

When I got to use it I still felt the Saturn D-pad to be better... Its similar but still not the same.

 

[EphemeralDream]

Yeah, if they could provide Bluetooth drivers for that I'd buy 2 or 3.

The Hori sticks for the 360 are also compatible with PC.

EDIT: Nvm, didn't see you wanted a d-pad instead.

 

[Icomeinpeace]

Hopefully these are good and sell enough to guarantee a regular version without the fugly artwork.

 

[Fatghost]

Are the PS3 controllers bluetooth or do they require a USB dongle?

 

[LowParry]

Jesus christ, use the SFIV thread for gods sake!

 

[Kill Your Masters]

Still not as good as a Saturn pad...

Well the d-pad looks the same...

 

[Firestorm]

Jesus christ, use the SFIV thread for gods sake!

I'm not interested in SFIV but I'm still interested in the pad for 360. I'd love to use it for 2D games... Price is a little high for my liking though.

 

[Deacan]

Anyone know where I can get one from the UK.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

I could also use this for like regular arcade games for the superior D-Pad, yes?

 

[rollingstart]

I'm not interested in SFIV but I'm still interested in the pad for 360. I'd love to use it for 2D games... Price is a little high for my liking though.

I am curious as to why the 360 controller is $40 also since it's wired compared to the wireless PS3 one at the same cost

 

[n3ss]

Well the d-pad looks the same...

true, but didn't feel the same. At least to me.

 

[Threi]

I would buy 2 of em

 

[Gantz]

They're too bulky for my tastes.

Never forget!

 

[PowerSmell]

According to a Shoryuken member it plays just like a Saturn controller from the D-pad to the mouse-click shoulder buttons.

That would blow my mind if true. It would be fantastic on the 360.

For PS3, you could use a Sega Saturn USB controller. The PS3 is friendly, it will accept many different inputs.

 

[LowParry]

You pay the price for what you love.

 

[LowParry]

true, but didn't feel the same. At least to me.

How long ago did you try them out? IF they are close to the Saturn feel, sure as hell beats any PS3 or 360 d-pad every way. Well worth the investment if you're a fighter gamer.

ummm about a month ago, it didn't have the art on it yet. But yes, it is better than either ps3 or 360 pad for sure.

 

[a Master Ninja]

Any word of a plain white or black version in the works?

 

[Patrickula]

I'm hoping these are awesome and the 360 pad works with the PC. I'll get two if they do (I assume they will since the regular 360 wired pad works without a hitch).

 

[neojubei]

Wireless PS3 pads for the win. I'll buy 2 thanks.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Will either of them work with a PC? I have no interest in SF4 but I'd be very interested in a PC compatible pad with a great D-pad.

I'm pretty sure MarkMan or somebody said that the 360 version was PC compatible just like the regular 360 pads. It's USB plug n go.

No word on the PS3 version, but I'd imagine that if it has the USB port for recharging (does it?) that it would work with existing PS3 drivers. Somebody will hack something together either way.

 

[HiResDes]

Hold on the wired 360 pads cost the same as the wireless PS3 controllers, no buy confirmed.

 

[dock]

This works fine on PS3, so long as you can cope with the wire. Otherwise use a Hori Stick or the Virtua Stick HG.

Don't buy a madcatz pad.

 

[gutter_trash]

Never forget!

the decided when it came to chose between the Genesis over the SNES for me, SEGA for life

 

[McBradders]

I think those are the ones MarkMan is a part of, Im inclined to believe they are going to be good.

Yeah, I wouldn't be interested in ruining my GAF reputation if I were him.

Day 1 baby, day fucking one.

 

[Diablohead]

If the d-pad works well it will be worth it for me, I just wish there was a pure white or black version without the SF artwork all over it.

And wireless for 360 :/

 

[Rufus]

This works fine on PS3, so long as you can cope with the wire. Otherwise use a Hori Stick or the Virtua Stick HG.

And they're still availible on eBay. Just search for "Sega USB" and you'll find lots. The prices are decent (actually, they're very good right now) as well.

Don't buy a madcatz pad.

I'll hold my judgement until the retail version is in people's hands. We'll see if the build quality holds up.
