Default Re: Revolution Controller Not Cookie Cutter?

I personally think that the PS2 controller is the most comfortable. And I also think that the Gamecube controller was modelled after it. The only thing the GC controller did was switch the analog sticks position so that both analogs wouldn't sit in the middle. Look at it.. the d-pad is where the left analog stick would be on a PS2 controller.. and I really don't like it there.

I like how sony didn't NEED to change their controller to make games more functionable. When the PS2 first came out with the same controllers I was psyched because that meant you could use your old dual shock controllers instead of buying new ones to support multiplayer. Thats what I like about the PS2... almost everything about it supports back to it's predecessor. The controller was a success for the PSX and it stays that way for the PS2... its just too comfortable.

And out of Xbox and GC... I'd say the Xbox Logitech S is more comfortable...The GC controllers are just weird. The N64 controller was weird enough but it was a cool controller and wasn't that bad to get used to. But the GC controller....the button layout is too eradic, and has no linearity. Two shoulder buttons that are bigger than the controller, and one that feels like it isnt even a button sometimes. Then a big ass green button and a small ass red button with two angular X and Y buttons. With the big button in the middle, you lose focus quickly on the others... which was a bad idea. Don't get me wrong... Nintendo's controller success in my opinon lied with the SNES and the N64.... these cube controllers are just too weird.
