Support NeoGAF

OH WHAT A SURPRISE

*stares at MadCatz*

Exactly.

 

[RedAssedApe]

madcatz pissed. no one gonna buy KI fightsticknow

 

[Wynnebeck]

^LOL Lefty likes his Xbox.

Also, not like any of you need to sell your TE since Capcom said they aren't porting Ultra to PS4/Xbone.

Capcom says a lot of things.

 

[csquared587]

I am not getting my hopes up for this. Either its a PC they are running it on here, or they just haven't implemented a block yet. I fully expect my current gen sticks to be useless with launch PS4s and Xbones.

 

[gaming_noob]

So much photoshop potential on OP's pic. Come on GAF!

 

[Artorias]

Don't tell them, they will probably patch it out lol.

 

[jaypah]

Don't tell them, they will probably patch it out lol.

No, they probably plan to patch it out with some lame ass excuse but since we know it works currently we can raise hell if the retail units don't support it. This is great!

 

[tokyostomp]

I should go armed with a array of wired 360 controllers, fight sticks, racing wheels, etc.

Gotta check when this hits the L.A. area

 

[jbug617]

Jebailey said when they had KI at the Orlando stop it was a PC build

 

[MThanded]

Another explanation is that the systems running there are dev units.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dude in the leather is having a ball

he looks like Arnold's stunt double from the LA River scene in T2

 

[jbug617]

My guess it was PC build of KI. See in this photo from this week they are not using the new sticks and the Xbox One was not visible.

 

[MR BLACKMAGIK]

Someone needs to try a 360 wired controller asap.

 

[obonicus]

So you just show up with something you say is a 360 controller and they just let you plug it in?

 

[EvB]

They had security guards at the event I went to, you weren't allowed to take photos or touch the machines!

Markman is in South Korea right now and probably fast asleep so I wouldn't expect him to respond anytime soon, assuming there is anything to even comment about.

 

[Shpeshal_Ed]

This is nice if it goes through.

I'll use my Hori

 

[Kadey]

I already know some sticks will work with the next-gen consoles while some will not. Wait and see approach really.

 

[Duxxy3]

OH WHAT A SURPRISE

*stares at MadCatz*

Yup, this doesn't surprise me in the least.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Someone get over there with a Racing Wheel for Forza before they patch it out!!!

THIS!

DO EHT NAOW.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Paging Markman.

 

[Duxxy3]

He'll just say they are not fully compatible.

 

[Killthee]

Actually this makes no sense. The 360 controller innards are in the sticks. If this works then an arbitrary 360 controller should work too? No?

130 + 30 dollars off a dual shock 4 =godlike

I think they're still using debug kits for these events. I remember one of the images from the tour thread showing the launcher with some testing apps. It probably doesn't have the controller/licensing check the retail kits will have.

 

[The Bankslammer]

oh thank god

please work with the retail units ;_;

might've missed some news, but do we know if (some) USB controllers will work with the PS4 like they do with the PS3? that'd be just lovely, no new arcade sticks for me~

 

[jbug617]

Got an answer from Markman. Those are devkits

@bosjbug @albertpenello on the test and dev kits we are able to use/test using our old 360 sticks.... Like we used previously for shows(TGS)

 

[Dark Ninja]

Nice at least there is evidence of sticks working before Madcatz sends in the request for them to patch it out

Spoiler

Im joking Markman

 

[MarkMan]

Hi. Sorry I just woke up. At airport in Korea.

I replied to this tweet: https://twitter.com/markman23/status/394226100231868416

If anyone had questions, let me know. I got time to kill at the airport while waiting at the gate.

 

[SapientWolf]

So does that mean that the retail unit will lock out 360 hardware, for no reason other than forced obsolescence?

 

[MarkMan]

BTW. Sorry to disappoint anyone as I know your money and time is valuable. I wanted to clear up the misconception that Mad Catz has any say of having our Xbox 360 products work/be compatible with Xbox One.

It is not something that is in our control. Personally I've already stated that I would love for our old products to work.

Cheers.

 

[derFeef]

So that confirms it's just bullshit that we can't use our old sticks. Got it.
edit: Nothing is saying that I think, MarkMan - we know it's MS.

 

[MarkMan]

I don't think it's BS. There is a lot the new controllers/sticks require now for full compatibility with the One. Maybe I can explain in another post when I'm at my computer and not in an airport line lol.

haha, much appreciated man.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Once they patch in Dev Kit ability to the retail Xbox One units does that mean we can use our old fightsticks/pads then?

 

[Castef]

I'm not interested in fighting games, but I think this is good news for X360 owners who are fans of fighting games.

I own 2 Hori wired Xbox 360 arcade sticks. If this is true I'll order Killer Instinct right away.

 

[op_ivy]

wtf. this is some bullshit.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Don't get your hopes up, guys.

 

[Skilletor]

A MAS would probably have a custom board in it. Any info on what the guy was using (chimp? PS360+? Cerberus?)

 

[Ghazi]

Even if they are test/dev kits the functionality is there, so that means there shouldn't be any reason to not have support for them other than to force people to buy a new fight stick.

 

[bPod]

Damn it. Hope it was true. Didn't want to spend $200 on a stick!

 

[J0dy77]

Wow, didn't even realize this deal. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[The Faceless Master]

I think they would see where you plug the cable in, no...

demo shell with passthru to real system?

 

[The Faceless Master]

money is a great reason.

 

[DopeyFish]

money is a great reason.

also security

 

[The Faceless Master]

also security

indeed, financial security is a great reason.

 

[DopeyFish]

indeed, financial security is a great reason.

you're right.

piracy does have a substantial negative financial impact

 

[nampad]

Well done Microsoft. Backwards compatibility with accesoires is great. Now lets see if the Madcatz stick work.

 

[notworksafe]

I don't think it's BS. There is a lot the new controllers/sticks require now for full compatibility with the One. Maybe I can explain in another post when I'm at my computer and not in an airport line lol.

Ahh, "full compatibility". So maybe the stick/buttons work but there's the new headset plug that MS is using that 360 sticks wouldn't have, so technically they aren't fully compatible.

I'm guessing it's something like that.

 

[DanielJr82]

I have the Street Fighter IV TE stick. I was thinking of getting rid of it, but this may change my mind.

 

[Dai101]

Exactly. I don't know, maybe official arcade sticks won't work (Madcatz, Hori, etc.) but who knows about custom made boards like those you mentioned.
