Basically confirming how naff the shoulder buttons are and the fact you can only press the outer edge.

Seriously? Who doesn't have a phone or tablet to hand? I'd much rather have the 10% performance loss back.

maybe they can just take the 10% away when using that feature then back to 100% when it fullscreen?

bf4 kinect lean sounds great if done correct, like a quick tip of the head left/right/or up for respective cover moves would be awesome.

That's assuming it's done of course, it was only something I read in an article on Eurogamer...

That actually comes across as a good review of the pad except for the shoulder button issue, which may not be an issue at all depending on how you hold the controller (and also how much have those demo controllers been through?). I've got a 360 pad in front of me and when I pick it up, my fingers naturally press the outer edge of the shoulder buttons, so it wouldn't affect me. Trying to press the inside edge just feels wrong for me!

Just came back from the Glasgow lock in. I tried the shoulder buttons first as that was the issue i heard most about and I thought they were better than the 360, maybe it is the way I hold the pad or the fact it is probably well run in. really liked the rumble in the triggers too.

I seem to tap the inside in cod.

I do wonder if how you hold it does play a part in how well the shoulder buttons feel. Time will tell I suppose.

What games did you play and how did you like them?

I take it rumble triggers can be turned off? I've never liked it and always had any form of it turned off.

No idea where to post this, but as I'm now considering getting it as a launch title for the Xbox One, it can come in here....

Looks stunning!

 

[antijoke]

But but but that's ps4.

PS4 footage, but it's a launch title for both consoles

So of you believe the believers it will look nothing like that on X1.

The basketball games have always looked good in their animation and details of players

I only played forza, there was only 6 xboxes set up, wait in the queue of 60 people, play a game and wait in the queue again. I had 2 laps on forza, first one with the mclaren second with a focus. I am not a big forza player so don't really have a frame of reference, looked really nice. Load times were long, but that is hopefully just an unoptimised demo build. I just thought that would be the best to try out the triggers.

Dead rising on the xbox next to me really impressed, just the sheer number of zombies on screen.

Yeah, Although this time they seem to have stepped up clothing and hair too, notice the guys beard? and movement of clothing as they're jumping about.

Heh, according to some of the more serious PS4 fanboys, the Xbox One version may as well look like this...

What a game

What a game

I know, though I remember there was a position at the edge of the 3 point line where it was so easy to score from. Made the game a little too easy when I found it, but it was still a great game.
