Xbox One controller hands-on

2013-05-21
hey this is dieter with The Verge and we got some hands-on time with the prototype for the new Xbox one controller now the big change here is that they have improved the two triggers they actually have got force feedback they got little vibrating motors on each trigger so when you're playing the game and you like shooting a gun the feedback has just done that it's just on your right finger or left finger whatever is appropriate they have moved the battery inside the box itself so that it doesn't it's not this big ugly hump at the bottom and they've also added a new Kinect multi connector on the bottom so it doesn't plug it over USB anymore but you can still add maybe one of those little chat keyboards if you'd like to otherwise it feels pretty much like an Xbox controller your X ABY buttons are still in basically the same spot they have added a little bit of texture to the thumbsticks and they say they've improved the d-pad radically but of course until we get to play actual games with it we won't know for sure what it's like we got to try a few different demos on a earlier prototype on a PC we got to fly a little helicopter and like feel the brakes on a car and the feedback on your fingers is actually really strong in addition to the standard Rumble that you get a controller you can really tell if it's coming on the whole controller or just on your fingers so that's it that's the new controller for the Xbox one
