Cliff wants less controller buttons, more waggle
Filed under: News
Take a look at your Xbox 360 controller and think of one object you could compare its looks to. Seriously, what do you think it looks like? If you said a martian aircraft due the amount of buttons it has, then congrats, you think just like Cliff Bleszinski.
Speaking with CVG, Bleszinski discussed the 360’s controller, admitting that “if you look at a controller right now it looks like an alien spaceship.” Cliff hopes that next gen, Microsoft creates an Xbox input device that has “fewer buttons on the controller” and suggests doing something more “with a built-in camera or a little motion sensitivity.” “You look at the Wii controller with less buttons - they added functionality by doing waggle” Bleszinski explained, “there are other ways of providing interactivity without having every single finger doing something at once on a friggin’ controller.”
And as much as it pains us to admit this, sorry Cliff, we don’t totally concur with you on this one. The Wii is the Wii and the 360 is the 360, try playing a FPS on the Wii or using motion detecting cameras and tell us how competitive or fun it ends up being.
