The previously leaked controller that is aimed to help those that cant use a controller or use them well has officially been announced.

Bless them for this really. So many people want to experience what we do but just cant sometimes.
the hardware they have put out since that og xbox one has been stellar. Updated Xbox One controller,Design Lab,Elite,Xbox one S,Xbox One X and now this. god damnExactly, and after their blunder announcement for Xbox One, their year 2 onward has been amazing; We all just want to enjoy the short life we have how we want, and giving more people the tools to lose themselves in their hobby for some time is incredible. This is absolutely amazing and I hope Sony follows. (I'm not holding my breathe : I'm still waiting on a Dualshock Pro in line with my Xbox Elite controller.)
definitely looks like one doesnt it hahaGreat product that will help people with disability to play games. Many kudos to Microsoft.
Is that the Wii nunchuk?
Okay, it seems the buttons are really just large buttons, not trackpads. And the ports on the back are for connecting accessories which stand in for any Xbox input you want.
Which makes me wonder if we are gonna take advantage of it with a nunchuck like device and a mouse for playing.
Depending on cost does this thing make XIM irrelevent?
I don't think its a stretch to assume they never saw a business justification. Regardless of how it does though, props to them for giving it a shot.The question has to be asked... why did it take this fucking long for something like this to be mainstream?
Don't get me wrong I'm not complaining or anything but we've been clamoring for this since the early 90s. I wanna praise Microsoft for making this "risk" but I have a strong feeling this will sell like gangbusters...
MS has always been ahead on interface devices for consoles , this is a big jump because not only helps a lot of people to play games but also people without any disability can use the controller to improve experience
In my lurker days ive seen people banned for this type of shit. Youre not being funny or clever.Fair to play to M$ on this
you need the ability to hold things for the ds (or the ds itself since its so small), its also way too small for any real help, the wii you need to actually hold that let alone move your hand/arm plus have the ability to use your fingers well enough for A B and dpad...and the kinect...This is probably the furthest example of input that is aimed for people that need this device.i don't think is fair to declare that "it took too long" since various console & devices in the past broaded the audience for people to enjoy games, ones that ironically enough got it's fair share of flak in enthusiast forums. Wii had an entire console from a big manufacturer focused on accessibility >;-D
same. Feel like that shit died years ago but I guess some people just dont grow up and let go.In my lurker days ive seen people banned for this type of shit. Youre not being funny or clever.
I fail to see the big deal there. Do fans really get butthurt over such things?In my lurker days ive seen people banned for this type of shit. Youre not being funny or clever.
Well for starters its just childish. This is neogaf, not gamefaqs or the ign boards.I fail to see the big deal there. Do fans really get butthurt over such things?
You act like there's a significant difference... Neogaf actually has a much worse reputation. But that's completely irrelvant, as you said it's just a little jab, nothing worth banning people over...This is neogaf, not gamefaqs
Awesome!
It would be great if Sony and Nintendo allowed a dongle to make this controller work on their consoles too. It's probably naïve to hope for, but it would be a great display of solidarity within the gaming world. I suppose Sony and Nintendo could release similar products, but that might take years (MS has been R&Ding this design for 3 years).
This reply takes my original post out of context. It is a response to an stament made by Alebrije Just look at it again since it's in this very page:you need the ability to hold things for the ds (or the ds itself since its so small), its also way too small for any real help, the wii you need to actually hold that let alone move your hand/arm plus have the ability to use your fingers well enough for A B and dpad...and the kinect...This is probably the furthest example of input that is aimed for people that need this device.
To put the proverbial cherry on top of this....Microsoft said they are freely willing to share the tech with Sony or Nintendo...
I mean c'mon man...got dammit tearin up'...this is why they get my patronage.
Fantastically done Microsoft!
