I don't see anything appealing about six-axis.

[Starion]

Neither do I, i just think that the 360 controller is better for driving games. And the playstation controller is more suited to GTA.

[artie]

I have a 360 and personally love the controller, it's comfortable and easy to use ,but i've played the last 3 GTA games on a PS2 and the controls were layed out so well.
I then tried SA on an old xbox and i'll have to say, xbox controls in a GTA game pretty much sucked a s s.
If i find GTAIV to be that unbearable with the 360 controller, i'll certainly opt for that adapter.

What do they mean by Sixaxis? Did PS2 have?

The Xbox 360 controller was made for shooters. It's really hard to get used to shooters on the PS3 because the two analog sticks are right next to each other which makes for extremely awkward controls.

the PS3's controller hands down, no questions asked..... a ps controller was the first controller to play GTA, so it is perfect - original - logical that itll work better IMO

That's NOT logical. It's true with the previous GTAs because they were a port to the xbox, but Rockstar is going to cater to the 360 controller's specific needs as much as they will to the PS3's. So both the controllers should be optimized for their respective version of the game.

the PS3 controller is called sixaxis that because it has motion sensing on six axis's

the PS2 controller was called the dual shock 2 (dual shock one was the PS1 controller)

[xrzax]

Im gonna say the ps3 only because im used to the ps2 controller and the times ive played on my mates xbox it hasnt felt right, i think this is a case of what ur used to as both controllers do well and it all comes down to personal feel.

[elias2k2]

I voted for the playstation 3 controller because im used to it.

[˸øåíüêà]

keyboard + mouse FTW

[--supea--]

If you got both, ps3 and xbox360, f*ckING BUY IT TO PS3! Everyone knows ps3 is better than xbox360, but it costs a LOT more than xbox...

I stilll can't decide, should I do much work to get monies for ps3 or buy cheep sh*tty xbox...

who's so stupid and said that? O.o

[california]

are the buttons for both controllers in the same spot...like to get in a car for ps3 is triangle , so for x360 is it Y. is y even the button to get in?

[Bill"DaSexBomb"Clinton]

PS2 Dual Shock = Best Controller Ever!
PS3 Sixaxis = WORST CONTROLLER EVER!!! the L2/R2 "triggers" are total crap, no rumble, the motion sensing is useless/terrible and the controller freakishly light.

The X360 controller is amazing for shooting games but its gonna be hard for me to get used to the GTA controls since I have been playing the PS2 for the past 5-6 years. Oh and are you seriously gonna have to repeatedly smash one of the buttons for the car to go fast?!?... didn't play a racing game for the 360 yet....

[Santa_Claus]

Xbox 360 pwns the PS3

[Surfin' Dude]

Actually I wanna play with the Atari's original joystick
Ok just kidding but I've got used to the 360's controller

[GTA4ROX]

I rather play on a 360.
Im so lucky ps3 was sold out last year cause then i wouldnt have got a hdtv in my living room.
my mom loved the 360 control
she said the ps3 sucked because of its gay control.
also didnt ps3 make their l2 r2 buttons triggery?

Edit: i don't know about the PS1 GTA's. Were they exclusive to PS1 first or did they come out on PC at the same time? or am I missing something?

Yeah, you're sure missing something. All the classic GTAs were released for PC first (except for GTA London 1969 I think), and then ported over to PS1.

Playstation. It's more origional, better feel. The xbox controller is too chunky for me.

They are both practically the same, having held a mates 360 controller that's my opinion.

[Seddo]

Is it even confirmed whether the PS3 version will use the SixAxis feature, if not then the two controllers will play the exact same, unlike past GTA's i'm sure both controllers will use the same button layout.

Rockstar 'weren't sure' how to use the sixaxis. Hopefully they will.

[Eddie280]

its got to be the PS3 controller for me.
Ive played all the 3D GTA games on a PS controller anything else would feel just wrong

[Mike17N2k3]

Mouse and a keyboard.

I hope they don't, its a stupid feature really. Its just thrown into some games, not really any thought just plonked in. And you usually have the option to turn it off, so yeah.

GTA started on the Playstation, the controls were great. So obviously Im going to say Sixaxis.
