hey guys Ashley's gather the TechnoBuffalo here doing a control or comparison for the Xbox one controller we just got our Xbox one in the office we're really excited about it it's a little bit different than what we've seen before there's a couple of extra features available a couple of extra buttons on here so let's check it out all right everybody so we're here with the Xbox one trailer we just got the Xbox one in office and I figured I would give you guys a little tour of what's new on the Xbox one controller obviously you don't see a back or Start button that's missing oh no but that's ok cuz Microsoft's added a couple extra things so let's check out what's going on with the Xbox one controller obviously a really similar shape to what we saw on the Xbox 360 and we'll get into that in a second I have a xbox 360 controller over here to my left definitely a slimmer profile a no big giant battery pack poking out of the back of this this is now just two double-a batteries if you have rechargeable batteries you can recharge it with the micro USB right there very handy and let's talk about these two buttons right here so this one is actually a really interesting contextual button so let's say you are using Internet Explorer on your Xbox one and you want to bring up the navigation menu so you would actually hit this and it would bring up a series of like either a menu or a different view in Forza Motorsport 5 though instead of bringing up some sort of menu it actually changes your camera view so you can go from first person to third and so on and so far it's like all your different camera views rear view you'll be able to change that with this button right here so it does change based on the app or game that you're using which is kind of nice and then this one right here is a menu button that is going to allow you to do things like switch profiles so if you want to do a quick change you're playing a game and then you decide oh my friend came over I'm gonna let you play on your xbox a live profile they can go ahead and sign in with this pretty quickly which is super nice so thanks Microsoft no options our share button on here but I would say the closest you'd get to options would maybe be this menu button like the PlayStation 4 has on there controller this is now your home button which is quite a bit more subtle it's definitely flatter than the one that we saw on the Xbox 360 which I actually think is a really nice change I always found it very odd that they really put it front and center here I think it should be a little more subtle because a that's what controllers are all about right being subtle that you they should be like ninjas you should never know they're there it's just work fluidly with your hands and be an extension of them so a couple of other different things one of the things that they're doing here is Harrier bumpers your triggers are actually a little different they're a little wider and the triggers now are they're calling them impulse triggers and what's happening here is there's haptic feedback inside these triggers so let's say you are playing Halo and you are shooting at people are shooting at aliens and you're using your needler and you are you know you get haptic feedback in here or you get shot back or the flood comes and and just destroys all of your happiness you can't you can feel that right here inside the impulse triggers let's compare with the Xbox 360 controller so here it is here's both of them I'll stack them on top of each other if you guys want to see so a little bit smaller but not too much smaller obviously the back and start buttons have been removed issued for the new contextual and menu options available on the new controller the same sort of setup of the thumbsticks are are here present they've actually lowered the analog down into its own sort of pit instead of having it sort of raised up which I find really interesting I'm actually curious to see if I like that better than the 360 because the 360 was a really good controller and it still is it's still a great great controller they've made the buttons here a lot more visible they don't fade away into the same color background which is definitely a bonus for anybody who might have a little trouble seeing somebody colorblind definitely good options happen there so let's check out what they look like from the top obviously a new a new setup up here you've got your microSD and then definitely different than this one right here which is a lot different obviously slimmer you don't have these big huge battery packs in the back which is always nice they've brought the triggers closer and made them wider so this is actually I think a really good design decision especially with first-person shooters I have a feeling you're gonna find that these triggers the way these are designed to sort of wrap around as opposed to having to do this like make sure you're on these really skinny little triggers is gonna come in really really handy as you play games so that's the comparison of the Xbox one to Xbox 360 controller now let's take a look and see next-gen console wise what it looks like next to the ps4 controller so here's the ps4 controller and we went through a little controller comparison last week when we got our ps4 but we didn't have an xbox one controller to compare it against so you can see obviously both of them still kind of keeping in the design language of their previous console generation but not quite that so definitely a little bit different I do like both of them equally this one's a little bit lighter but is definitely sturdier than the DualShock 3 that we saw at the PlayStation 3 it does have a little more heft to it which actually feels a lot better in the hand the this one the Xbox one controller actually is a little feels a little lighter than the previous gen so while PlayStation 4 and Dualshock 4 went a little bit heavier it looks like the Xbox one controller went a little bit lighter than the Xbox 360 let's check out the DualShock 3 just for kicks because we have it here in the office man this thing looks archaic now now that we've seen what what the Dual Shock 4 looks like a sixaxis controller really just doesn't do doesn't really do much for me it also feels super lightweight so that is that is the sixaxis controller I just wanted to give you guys a little visual comparison here and then of course we'll break out big big bertha was like to call her that's the Wii U gamepad so here's the Wii U gamepad obviously I'll almost fit the entire Xbox one controller inside the Wii U gamepad's screen which is really fun but it's definitely very very different than what you would you know use on your other two consoles your next-gen consoles but I just figured for fun we would show you guys what they look like together all at once and that is our controller comparison we're actually going to be playing quite a bit of PlayStation 4 and Xbox one games over the next few weeks and we're gonna give you a full comparison and opinion on which controller we think is the best if you guys have any questions about you know the controllers that you want us to maybe answer while we're checking them out we would love to hear them drop them down in the comments or you can head over to TechnoBuffalo comm and leave your comments there we are really excited
