Microsoft Hints At New Controller Plans
>> From gamasutra.com:
[QUOTE]
Speaking at a panel at the Microsoft Gamefest event in Seattle, Robert Walker, the company's hardware unit product manager, has hinted that a new iteration of the Xbox 360 controller may be created with improved functionality for first person shoot 'em-ups.
As reported in detail by veteran consumer site Shacknews and also relayed by others, Walker indicated that there were still no plans to support a keyboard and mouse in future titles but that a new optional "advanced" controller may be introduced with a redesigned right analogue stick (the equivalent of a mouse in most console control systems) to allow for more precise movements.
Walker made it clear that the proposed controller would not replace the current joypad, which has been almost universally praised by users.
Walker also commented on the possibility of a motion sensor controller for the Xbox 360, repeating comments made by Microsoft executives concerning experiments with the technology on the PC.
