New 360 controller?
- Thread starter one
- Start date
...like a tilt sensor with EIGHT axes! 
Working in the fourth dimension it allows movement forwards and backwards through time. I had heard some rumours about that months back. MS were supposedly working with Ubisoft to port the technology from POP:SOT to their new controller. This actually ties in with previous comments that companies should start using more magic in their consoles. Perhaps MS are ahead of the game in this regard?...like a tilt sensor with EIGHT axes!
Or did you just mean 8 sharp metallic headchoppers sticking out from the new controller?
A more symmetrical design, the left d-pad and analog pad change places, maybe.
Oh dear god on earth. If they ever switch the d-pad and analog pad like the Dual Shake I will have to kick MS squuuuuiiiiiirrrrrre in the nuts.
I hadn't given it much thought. I just knew the number would have to be higher!
They already have one the other way, so why would it matter if they build another one to have a more symmetrical layout? They may not put that together in exactly the way you're thinking, though.

If that comes into fruition..then MS would be the worst kind of imiator...that would make them the last to copy after Sony and then after Wii....
no they will just tell you how how everyone just copied their sidewinder controller they put out 10 years ago and this is just revisiting that idea
I hope not, besides a hand full of games the d-pad is mostly just extra buttons, but I suppose some people like that layout better
Thats' like 10 years ago....If they were fond of their Tech. they should of used it in the get go....but it seems that they are playing catch up with the Trend that Wii set, then Sony and that is imiating of the last kind (worst).
You mean, "if that's that what they're doing." Now if they dropped rumble support, I'd agree with your "worst" kind of imitating comment.
(Also, it's 'imitating'; they are not imiators imiating, they are imitators imitating (I'm only calling you on it because you did it in two posts
).)I hope they do that, that would make things real interesting, i also hope they avoid motion sensing but id find it entertaining if they did.
Here is a new one for the PS2. I remember reading about the prototype here some time ago.

"Once my brain learned not to compensate for an analog stick's acceleration, I attained a level of accuracy I had never experienced without a mouse and keyboard combination."
I hope they come out with one for the 360.
More like the Reflex controller from Bodilobus, formerly known as White Fusion.
There has been a trickling of rumor on this for a while, IGN even reported on it in August (although that ended up being the new MS mouse). Oddly enough simila rumors have popped up yet again.
IGN, like others, have been really positive on the TB Gamepad. This is what they said recently:

E3 2005 Impressions (also IGN Second Place for Hardware/Peripheral Award)

Anyhow, MS has had two incidents now discussing new controllers with the intent to improve FPS on the 360, which doesn't seem out of whack considering "Live Anywhere" and Vista as a platform. (Yes, I very much like some trackballs; no, I am not a big fan of thumb sticks for FPS).

Yeah...if they head in that direction....
I would disagree with you even if they had rumble they still would be "imitating"..because MS's did'nt add it on their own accord...they add it after everyone esle was doing it.
OH!..and I see you got your self into a tangent (chases his tail in circles)...
