The last few days have brought some pretty interesting stuff for the next generation Xbox. Microsoft released the official list of publishers and first-party developers committed to develop next generation games and ourcolony.net, an ilovebees-style campaign for Xbox 360, launched to help the community overcome the pain of waiting time until E3.

Those who have been following ourcolony.net news quickly found out two images of what looks like part of the Xbox 360 controller. When you join this image with this one, you get this:

If that is in fact an image of the next generation Xbox controller, the first thing you will notice is the absence of the Back and Start buttons and a different shape for the D-Pad surface. But that’s not the only picture of a supposed Xbox 360 controller that has appeared this weekend.

A couple of new photos have been spotted in our forums, which could be fake pictures or photos or early prototypes. If they’re not a hoax from someone with good abilities in the use of 3D Studio Max and Brazil, we might be contemplating the very first pics of the Xbox 360 controller:

The glossy look of the enclosure and the absence of a logo in the front give us the impression we might be looking at a prototype rather than the final design of the Xbox 360 controller. It is a common practice to mold dozens of designs until one prototype is chosen as definitive.

Anyways, if these photos are real, it is worth noting that there are no cords attached, which would confirm the rumored wireless capabilities of the standard controller, and that the Back and Start buttons have been moved toward both sides of the Xbox 360 logo. These photos would also confirm the replacement of the Black and White buttons with two shoulder buttons.

No Microsoft representative was available at the time of this writing and even if we would get an official word that would be: “Microsoft does not comment on rumors or speculation”

Just remember that until there’s an official announcement, nothing is real. One thing is for sure; you’ll be watching the real controller, as well as the rest of the Xbox hardware, in less than a month.

Looks nasty if real.

 

[ray_MAN]

One word. UGLY!

 

[satch919]

I don't think its real. Even if it is, I don't care. JUST GIMME THE GAMES!!!!

I remember when the Gamecube controller was revealed people were saying that it looked ugly. Now look, its one of the most comfortable controllers out there.

Don't knock it till you've tried it.

 

[spookymooky]

Dont look too bad to me, pretty ergonomical 'n' all...

 

[DarkStar]

It looks pretty much like the XBOX controller.

Which is fine.

The GC controller may be comfortable to hold...but it's a terrible controller if you ask me. The "A" button is friggin huge and the "B" button is tiny. The "Y" and "X" buttons feel akward. The triggers have too much dead space between "unpressed" and "pressed". The D-pad is too small as well. I say PS2's controller is best by far when games use it properly.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

It looks like a kid's toy to me... I mean if I grab a controller and feel I could instantly break it, then it ain't gonna be good.

I wish it would stay similar to the S-Controller, I love that thing

But I'll wait and see more

 

[Tr0n]

The n64 controller will always reign king!

The "dead space" is because they are analog. which turns out to be a good thing

 

[Asuka]

Looks retarded. I dont think its real tho.

Well, I think its nearly perfect. I do agree about the D-pad though. Thats its only flaw. I don't use it anyways.

The PS2 controller is good but I don't think its as comfortable to hold as the GC's.

Haha, don't kock it till you've tried it is the worst statement ever, try to apply it to other things.

 

[AmishSlayer]

I know it's analog, but take PS2's controller for example, it has analog buttons but they don't have massive dead space like the GC's controller does.

 

[satch919]

Haha, don't kock it till you've tried it is the worst statement ever, try to apply it to other things.

Did I ever say that you could apply it to other things? I said it because it fits this situation. :|

 

[Kouler]

Bleh, it look stupid

 

[Asknoone]

That looks crap. I doubt its real.

 

[Sprafa]

Definitly think it's fake, it looks like a third party wireless controller.

 

[Foxtrot]

Did I ever say that you could apply it to other things? I said it because it fits this situation. :|

I know, but in general, that is a terrible sayng...I just thought it needed to be said.

 

[Sir Phoenixx]

The PS2's Dual Shock 2 controllers are the best console controllers, they're both very confortable, and they actually look good, unlike the controllers for the other consoles.

What's the point of Microsoft putting the left analog stick at the top and the d-pad at the bottom on their/that controller?

 

[Maxi]

Haha ones in a PSP

Anyway IMO it's buttugly, looks like something straight out of eXistenZ

 

[satch919]

I know, but in general, that is a terrible sayng...I just thought it needed to be said.

Well, good for you.

 

[OmegaX]

It's so ugly. Its a fake.

 

[B-MAn]

That can;t be real...if it is then its jus ugly

 

[<RJMC>]

I doubt is real cuz look like retro

 

[Korgoth]

Is that a picture of the controller on a PSP screen? wtf?

 

[Steve]

Haha, don't kock it till you've tried it is the worst statement ever, try to apply it to other things.

Well, you can apply it to pretty much everything. Except like...cancer. And mass genocide. Stuff like that.

 

[Killing2Live]

Kinda looks like the old dreamcast controller IMO but I doubt its real.

PS3 Vs. Xbox2 is gonna be even more heated this time around.

I like the Xbox but with all the talk about the Cell processor and my instant liking of the PSP my opinions are differed and would like both of them to come out strong.

 

[Foxtrot]

Well, good for you.

Atleast I don't use shitty sayings that can only be applied to a very small number of things.

Murder, breathing underwater, fighting a ninja with a flaming sword in your ass, stabbing your eye with a soldering iron, having anal sex with a rabid rabbit while it gnaws on your nipples, being run over by a car, masturbating with a rake, stabing your penis with acid coated pins, shaving with your mothers dildo, sticking a clock in your ass, drinking the stuff under your sink, playing Tomb Raider 6, taking a penis in your ear, gouging your eye out with your penis, jamming an iron in your nose, ripping your tongue out with plyers, eating a dictionary...a very old one, having sex with corpses, corpses having sex with you, taking it in the ass from a horse, shooting yourself in the head, eating a lightbulb, I could go on but I am getting tired.

lol You have a point but now you're just looking around the room for things.

 

[satch919]

You've definitely got some problems man. Woah.

The context(gaming) that I used it in works, asshole. Just because it can't be applied to everything doesn't mean I can't use it.

What a ****in freak.

Most of that's extreme stuff that most people wouldn't even try let alone think about. Totally unreasonable. Not a valid argument.

Jesus christ man!
That's just wrong.

I don't think that was his point when he said analog. That "dead space" as you call it, is infact not dead space, it does have a point. The buttons can be used a little, half-way, a lot, or all the way. There's not just off/on like most buttons, for instances, on the PS2 controller, the only analog it has are the two sticks.

Actually, the PS2 controller buttons (Square, Triangle, Circle, X) have about a half-millimeter of analog functionality. I noticed this once when playing GTA Vice City, and I pressed the X button really lightly, and my car maxed out at about 40kmph.

In theory it's a good feature, but in practice it just doesn't have enough analog range to be useful. The difference between no input and full input is like an extra 3 grams of pressure.

 

[Sir Phoenixx]

In adition to the two sticks, all buttons except for the select/start, analog on/off, and (I think) the shoulder buttons are analog.
