  3. I just finished replaying Half-Life. Even though it's an old FPS, i still enjoyed the level design and all the details that made navigating the facility eventful and fun.
    Since i wanted to play it on the couch, i used the Darkwalker Shotpad. It's a fitting controller for old PC games, when i don't want to sit at the desk.
    I'm looking forward to trying the new Steam Controller, hopefully it'll be easier to hold. 😁

  5. Abxylute M4 magnetic snap-on game controller hits Kicsktarter for $39 and up

    Abxylute has been selling handheld game consoles for the past few years, but the company has also branched out by selling game controllers and other accessories. And this summer abxylute introduced an unusual smartphone game controller that snaps magnetically to the back of your phone to turn it into a T-shaped gaming device. Imagine a mix between a vertical console like a Game Boy and a […]

  6. The #N64 controller is one most unique mainstream console controllers ever made and brought analogue controls to the masses. But for some reason nobody appears to be able to create proper replacements, which stay true to the original while using modern technology. Super interesting video about the #Nintendo64 controller and some third party replacements illustrating all the unique things and quirks about this legendary input device:

    I own the #Tribute64 V2 so I could play the #Zelda source ports on the #SteamDeck but the wireless configuration is a mess and the the input setup can be quite fiddly. And I finally ordered a an official N64 controller for the Switch which can be used on PC.
    Too bad it stays too true to the original in one critical aspect: It uses the same stick design prone to wear. 🙈 At least it's said to be properly lubed... but I better not be playing #MarioParty 1 with that thing. :ugly:

  7. in my experience #usbc is very prone to physical disconnection when cable moves. this matters a lot in case of a #gamecontroller. to add insult to an injury, this one won't (re)activate automatically - you need to press xbox logo button and wait ~3 seconds for it to work... (otherwise, it's probably best pad i ever had) #gaming

  8. Writing bindings for game controllers is a huge pain, especially when the game is big and has a ton of actions you have to bind to different controls. It becomes worse when the game is an audio game and requiring lots of controls for announcement of information that's too crucial to be put under a menu or something like that.
    In return though, controls vibrate, and it's fun connecting all sorts of events to that; Especially now that these new controllers support vibration intensity.

  9. Abxylute is working on a magnetic snap-on game controller for smartphones

    Handheld gaming company Abxylute is planning to launch a new game controller for smartphones. But instead of an expandable accessory that lets you position a phone between left and right sides of the controller, this is a magnetic accessory that snaps onto the back of a phone and and slides out when you need it.

    What’s particularly interesting is that when your phone is in landscape […]

  12. Played through a full Tomb Raider 2 Remastered level with the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 - fantastic feel, responsiveness, everything! The deadzones seem a little bit nicer than on the DualSense I've been playing on up until now.

  14. You know what I want to know?

    Why did Microsoft abandon the sleek, chiseled, irrefutably "gamer" design of the Xbox 360 controller and switch to the somewhat bulky, un-stylized design of the Series X|S controllers?

    I haven't held the latter so I can't say if they're more comfortable or not, but man, the 360's design was slick!

  15. Google has quietly extended the deadline for turning the discontinued Stadia Controller into a Bluetooth game controller that can be used with a wider range of devices. The utility will now be available until at least Dec 31, 2025. buff.ly/3OISaK2

  16. #gaming #newbie question:

    What is a good #GameController for playing #steam games on #macOS that is not overly expensive?
    I’m not interested in shooters or racing. So absolute speed or performance is not of essence. Based on my experience with the #SteamDeck, I may want a touch control. What is your experience?

  17. After going through all the Viper skills and watching a few updated videos, I think I have a controller layout that *should* work - xivbars.com/job/VPR/6804

    Single target on the right trigger, AoE on the left trigger, burst on the double taps and some utility skills on the extended hot bars.

  18. Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, dass wir über die #GameController der Marke #8BitDo im Rahmen eines Reviews berichtet haben. Der Hersteller ist in der #Gaming-Branche aufgrund des eigenen hochwertigen Portfolios an #Gamepads in kultigen #Retro-Designs sehr beliebt. Nun hatten wir die Gelegenheit, auch ein kompakteres Modell aus dem Hause 8BitDo ausprobieren zu können, namentlich den #8BitDoLite2.
