I got my Dualshock 3 (Pics inside) - PSP-Forum.com

Monkey Business · 01-15-2008, 08:50 AM

Well yea, so my parents went to Japan/Hong Kong and i asked for a dualshock 3 and UIII and R&C. Still yet to try the controller out as i have to wait till my exams are over. But i can say its heavier and the d-pad feels different (that just might be me).

Man, you're lucky, I decided to wait until they release them in the U.S. so I've got a little bit of waiting to do. I like the white controllers, they look pretty snazzy.

Let me know how UTIII is, I was thinking about getting this after I'm done with The Orange Box and CoD4.

Also, LMAO at how you put your name next to the controller and games in case we didn't believe you. Hehe.

Yea sure I'll let you know, i heard UII is hectic online. But it'll have to be good to prize me away from COD4.
Lol, i remember when i put a few pics of my PS3 games on here and i think it was Cabe who didn't really believe me lol.

Why are they different than normal PS2 controllers?

Monkey Business · 01-15-2008, 09:24 AM

Its a PS3 controller, its wireless, it can come in either white or black and the L2 & R2 buttons are slightly different when you push them down.

VAMP · 01-15-2008, 09:27 AM

Yeah, the L2 and R2 buttons have way more range on the PS3 controllers, kind of like a trigger or a gas pedal. Plus they have motion sensitivity. That's a pretty big difference although only a few games do it right IMO (Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, flOw, and High Velocity Bowling, Ratchet and Warhawk) while many either do it wrong or just tack it on as an afterthought.

Monkey Business · 01-15-2008, 09:29 AM

Lol, In lair the motion sensing is everything, you cannot play the game using the D-pad.

VAMP · 01-15-2008, 09:31 AM

Yeah, and I haven't tried it but I've heard it really sucks. Has anyone here tried it at all?

One weird thing about the game is that Famitsu (Japanese gaming magazine, well respected) gave Lair really good ratings and they're usually spot on.

Monkey Business · 01-15-2008, 09:33 AM

I've heard from multiple reviews that its crap and i too found the famitsu review weird as you said their usually spot on.

Maybe it has to do with the Japanese fascination with dragons???
