only thing to survive is the generic controller layout of dpad, analog sticks, and face buttons.
what the FUCK. what happened to creativity? why did we regress back to buttonslop? i can't believe we will never have fun shit anymore...

Because none of these offered a compelling alternative to regular controllers.

Control schemes that have, like joysticks, FFB wheels, and light guns, still exist in the modern day. Some quirky controllers like the NeGcon still get used by fans.

None of the things you think are "cool" are actually cool, they're gay and stupid, which is why they died.

you think moving in 3d space is gay and stupid? or controlling a fucking ship with gyro? or shooting a bow or any other weapon with varying tension? all of that adds to experience in a way that regular joysticks and buttons simply can't. do you just hate having more degrees of freedom in how to play your game? this minimalism mindset is a disease that kills any notion of elevating the gaming experience. it's not even about it being a compelling alternative, nothing you can do with a regular pad provides this.

i fucking hate the idea that having fun with shit is lame and we need to just do the same ABXY bullshit because hurr that's optimalz! what a colorless mindset.

most people wants to kick back and chill off on the couch when playing games, not flail their arms around like a spastic
market appeals to the majority
hence why most movement controllers are short lived because they are just seen as gimmicks (and so are their games)

>>720289860
those "people" are 400lbs blobs and aren't worth catering to.

>>kinect was cool

obviously, nobody is gonna wanna dance around like a retard infront of a cam
>>wiimote was cool
>>died off
no it didnt? the concept lives on in the Joycons
>>wii u double screen was cool
>>died off
People liked the Wiiu more for the concept of playing the games on the couch, wich is why the Switch exists
>>dualsense adaptive triggers was cool
>>died off
??? The Dualsense is still the most recent controller? Helldivers uses adaptive triggers
>>sixaxis gyro was cool
>>died off
Dualsense, Switch, Gamesir, 8Bitdo, all of these use Gyro
>>sony vr was cool
>>died off
that has more to do with VR in general dying off

Arcade cabinets were the perfect format for game-specific novelty controllers. Trying to force it with home consoles will never work.

>>720289130 (OP)
I don't want to strap shit to my face and waggle controllers around when i go to play video games.

>>720289860
Fuck those stupid fat smelly retards
They deserve death
Not being catered to
The whole market is collapsing because retard think tanks and focus groups try to appeal to the largest amount of people possible by watering down every element of everything into the most boring generic mess they can conjure up with their jewish sorcery
They should all be executed, especially the jewish sorcerers and everyone agrees with me

>having to stand upright for more than 20 seconds (the time to reach the fridge for hotpockets)
automatically alienates 80% of gamers

>>720289130 (OP)
>wii u double screen was cool
Lmao no, it kind of worked on the DS because it worked like a big screen split in 2 but the wii u was just forcing you to constantly look up and down and the controller was aids

Yes. All of these are gay and stupid, you could make a tiny point for adaptive triggers because haptic feedback is nice, but FFB joysticks and wheels are much, much nicer.

I miss wacky control schemes, but none of these were GOOD wacky control schemes. Go play Densha de Go, faggot.

>>720290847
>>what are vtubers
faggot shit i dont watch
next

>>720290875
i made a point for all of them you vanta black nigger. having a simple remote or camera while gettin a ton of control out of them is more accessible than a fucking wheel or flightsim setup for ONE specific game genre, so i don't even know how you're making that comparison. curb your autism and think of it from a sensible perspective instead and you'll realize this is true.

>>720291079
All of your other points are fucking stupid. There are a million better ways to move in 3D space, like a spacemouse, or a novint falcon, or all manner of stupid bullshit gimmick devices you've never heard about because you're a third worlder who only plays on console.

None of these things add any value. Wagglan has always been complete cancer, and it will always be complete cancer, because without the intrinsic haptic feedback your brain is expecting, it's good for nothing, and to add haptic feedback you'd need a 100k robo arm.

>wii u double screen was cool
It was so cool how most games just used it for the map and inventory, crazy.

>>720291243
you're a fucking sped. having an EXTRA DEGREE OF FREEDOM is somehow useless to you because your brain lesions can't fill in the blanks on how being able to control shit more accurately benefits you.
>HURRR WHY WOULD I NEED THAT WHEN PLAYING A GAME I CAN JUST UHH..UHHHH *sharts*
fucking dumbass, also the fact you bring up 500 DOLLAR PERIPHERALS in the context of fucking sensible controls. you need to deepthroat a shotgun. anything that isn't generic abxy is a gimmick to you because you just can't fire electricity in your head.

>>720291594
>having an EXTRA DEGREE OF FREEDOM
It's amazing how you don't even know what you're talking about. Do you know what a "degree of freedom" is? It's not a term you can use to say "wow, freedom!", retard. Wagglan is 3 DOF, gyro is 2 DOF.

Anyone can shoot better with a mouse than they can with a fake VR gun, because there are other things to consider when you're free floating, the mouse is a lot faster and more accurate. Again, you're just a moron.

>>720291829
all my points stand dipshit. i like how you can't discredit them and instead go the usual "do you even know this thing" route, as if it was incorrectly used. go ahead, feel free to explain how gyro still isn't better than NOT HAVING FUCKING GYRO. dumb gorilla brained fuckwit. and the fact you wanted to fixate on wagglan when it was fucking fixed in the motionplus, clearly a time period predating your formation in the shitheap. stop replying until your midwit golem brain builds a foundation to write with.

>>720292032
Why are you still sperging out about gyro when it's in every fucking controller these days? Wait, are you an xbox kid or something?

>motionplus fixed wagglan
Oh no, you're a fucking RETARD. No, it didn't, it was still fucking garbage without constant calibration to a base reference. Holy shit, wagglan isn't even good with lighthouse tracking, you're a fucking dipshit.

>>720292196
>unable to grasp the point
listen up shit for brains, the point is that it adds versatility to every single game. the same principle applies with the kinect. your sentiment is that it's inaccurate compared to a mouse or a fucking 10k rig setup, notions born from your inability to think with more than 5 neurons, so i said not to reply until you fixed your brain and you just immediately rapid fired bullshit. why am i not surprised.
>muh calibration
case in point. you expect me to take your garbage seriously when calibrating mindbreaks you. i can't believe you made me waste my time. go increase entropy somewhere.

>>720292492
>the point is that it adds versatility to every single game
Gyro? No, it doesn't. It's just a slightly improved form of aiming that's entirely rendered irrelevant by the existence of another peripheral, the MOUSE.

The Switch 2 is a bigger step forward than gyro with those crappy optical sensors on the sides of the joycons.

>calibrating
You have no understanding of gyroscopes or their inherent drift, which requires CONSTANT calibration. The motionplus was very BAD at this.

They're all half ass. If i'm playing casual and relaxing I want the ease and convenience of a controller. If i'm going to take it seriously then I want a specialized setup like a wheel, flight controller, or gun controller.
There is no scenario where I want to turn my controller in the air like a wheel with no feedback.
