What is the difference between the PS4 and Xbox one controller?
After releasing the photos and putting a statement, the following content is based on my own experience, and people feel different.
Enter the topic, the handle of this generation of hosts, everyone recognizes that the Xboxone's handle wins, let's take a look.
Rocker position: This is one of the more concentrated points of the spit and the difference between the two handles. Sony insisted on the consistent key position of the PS family handle, so the position of the double rocker is also below. . In fact, this is a legacy of history. PS handle is initially without a rocker, until n64 uses the joystick to teach everyone how to play 3d games, this will release the role of the joystick, so Sony also needs such a thing to adapt to the needs, the joystick is added In the handle, in order to maintain the consistency of the design at the beginning, and because the initial exploration of the joystick position is not clear enough, the double rocker is placed in today's position. However, as the game became more and more abundant, the demand for the joystick became larger and larger. Everyone found that the use of the joystick gradually exceeded the cross key, and placed the rocker on it, which is the position of the Xbox joystick today. It is more comfortable to operate because the upper position is closer to the most comfortable position of the left thumb. Putting it below will cause two problems. One is that the rocker that is often enough to get below will be tired. The other is that the rocker is enough to reach the rocker. If you want to push it in front, it will produce an error, which will generally push to the right. In front.
Therefore, the use of the PS4 handle's cross key and joystick position is not very suitable for today's game needs. At this point, the PS4 handle is really not as good as the Xboxone handle. My own experience of using it is okay, the fatigue problem is not serious, only at some time will have fatigue, not often, but it will be more likely to affect the game experience. The direction problem has not appeared at all, probably already used to this key!
Shoulder button: This is also the difference between another PS4 controller and the Xbox handle. This PS4 handle has been improved for the defects of the PS3 handle, and the shoulder button, which is the L2R2 button, has been further optimized. There has been no small progress in the keystrokes and button strengths, but compared with the Xbox's handles, it has been compared. It is not that the PS4 does not work hard, and the opponent is too good. In order to serve the sudden protrusions that it is good at, Xbox is working hard on the shoulder buttons. First of all, the trigger button on the shoulder is upturned, which is easier to reach with the fingers. Secondly, the button strength is also subtly different from the PS4 handle. After pressing it, it feels more subtle. This feeling is more subtle. The teacher died early and didn't know how to describe it. Then there is Microsoft's cost to join the vibration motor on the shoulder button. So when shooting, it really feels very good. If the game itself is optimized for the feel of shooting, it can be said that each time the trigger is pulled, there will be an indescribable feeling. But in my own experience, it was really amazing at first, but there will be some numbness after a long time, but in any case, the Xbox is indeed winning in this button setting. In short, the effort under the trigger button can fully see how much Microsoft is paying attention to such games.
Endurance: This is where I most want to spit the PS4 handle. The battery life of the PS4 handle is actually quite bad. The answer is that the three handles are now in turn, which is a solution to the problem of the handle life. Of course, the two are actually enough, and the three are really a bit too hard. Generally, when playing games very much, time is always fast, so the handle will be low when you are unconscious. The biggest reason for this problem is that there is a huge lamp in front of the PS4 handle. The position of this light is not visible in the game. It has a few functions. First, this is to match the motion capture. The PS4 has an accessory, which is a camera, which is the one that will be brought in the PSVR set. That camera can carry out some somatosensory games, and can also interact with this handle. In fact, before the launch of PSVR, this camera with a combination of handles has no game support, so this motion capture function is very limited, even if PSVR is popular, you are not If you play VR, this feature is still useless. Second, this light can distinguish players. For example, if you are 1p, I am 2p, and then the handles are the same color. Then you can see the color of the lights to distinguish them. However, why do you want to buy two handles of the same color? Let's go. Third, this light can match some atmospheres. For example, when the light is damaged, the light turns red. If the condition is good, it is blue. The problem is. The position of this light, you usually can not see the handle. Ok, let's talk about the three functions of this hugely charged lamp. You will find that I can completely eliminate these three functions, but I can't close it. Can only be dimmed. So in most cases, the PS4's handle is eaten a lot by the light that is not very useful, resulting in battery life and previous problems. In the PS3 era, my handle is able to charge for three or four days. If you play PS4, you have to charge it once a day. The Xboxone does not have such a large power consumption. By replacing the battery, the Xboxone handle is very durable. The two batteries are not a problem for one week. I bought the Xboxone and only changed the battery once. Of course, it’s also related to how I don’t start.
Others: There are some other thoughts on the handle of the PS4. For example, the PS4 handle has a touchpad. However, personally feel that there are not many used in the game. Most of the time, the touchpad is used instead of other buttons. Pressing it can call up other menus. There is also a small speaker on the PS4 handle. I think this little thing is a bit interesting. Because when playing some games, it is quite a sense to suddenly make a sound from your position. For example, the characters in the game pick up a tape recorder and press the play button. This time the sound is from your own. The position of the hand passed over, very much a sense of substitution. For example, some horror games, in order to create an atmosphere, the sound suddenly passed from the hand, sometimes all kinds of will be scared. This small design is really a small highlight of the PS4. As for the sharing button of PS4, since there is no chance to use it in China, I will not comment much. In addition, the Xboxone controller actually needs to be upgraded. I can't accept it. I want the game machine to be as simple as possible. Now the game console has become more and more complicated. Finally, I have to pay attention to the handle upgrade. This makes me a little bit. Crazy.
In terms of weight and material, some people say that the handle of the Xbox is more suitable for the feel. This is a stupid straight man who does not have any experience.
In short, the overall look at the Xboxone controller is indeed better than the PS4 handle. But it does not mean that the PS4 handle is not good at all. This is a good and better problem, not a good or bad situation.
