The Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy 2 did help me to get used to the Nunchuk of the Wii.stan423321 wrote:Sure. And on point of you being a PC gamer, most of my friends are the "Nothing against consoles, but I don't want to have any" crowd. This means they have usually no point to get used to analog sticks. After playing Mario Galaxy for 10 hours, I got used to Nintendo's octagonal stick quite well, but they don't do that at all.

Re: Rayman Legends
So see, we're not that different after all. I wonder how much difference will lack of "octagon" bring though.
On the side note: every Pole rejoice, we're just 40 and 4 days to the release of RL.

Re: Rayman Legends
I remember watching my cousin play Assassin's Creed II on a console - it's his first console game ever. Watching him clunkly handle a controller was quite interesting actually. When he tried to move the camera, he'd have to stop moving completely and move the joystick, only to shove it way to far in the wrong direction, and he had no coordination for the buttons in general.
On the topic of octagonal sticks, my first console was a Nintendo 64, so I actually had to take a short bit of time to get used to the circular controller of an Xbox/PlayStation.

Re: Rayman Legends
Haha I remember learning how to control the camera and movement joystick at the same time from playing Halo 1 when I was younger. I remember the situation your cousin is in. I've had the Sega Mega Drive II (I think? - it's the one that's similar to the Genesis) since I was really little and almost simultaneously had the Nin64 for a short while; then I played some games on the PS1. Next, I had my Xbox, so I've almost 'always' been handling controllers.Adsolution wrote:I remember watching my cousin play Assassin's Creed II on a console - it's his first console game ever.

Now you've got me all nostalgic about my time with those older video games again... I remember most of them quite well. *dreams on*
I can totally see myself as one of those grandpas that have stories upon stories that make no interconnecting sense at all.

Re: Rayman Legends
I remember when I first saw the PS1, it was at one of my cousins, I don't know what was especially...special about it, nor what actually drew me to it.
But I do have some fond and...not-so-fond memories of events which occurred during our time with the PS1.

Re: Rayman Legends
You know what's funny? I don't ever remember learning how to uuse a jooystick, it was just always there, much like playing a first-person shooter. My first FPS game was also Halo, and I vividly remember starting to play it after watching my brother do so (by the way, he beat Heroic using the laptop trackpad, God tell me how).Shrooblord wrote:Haha I remember learning how to control the camera and movement joystick at the same time from playing Halo 1 when I was younger.

Re: Rayman Legends
The first time I used an analog stick was in a PlayStation 1, I thought it was pretty cool at the time.

Yes I noticed that too. He will probably be the boss a the end of the "Toad Story" world.TheKopex wrote:That's great. BTW I just analyzed the cover a bit.

A friend received that Email from Micromania. If we reserve the game in this store, we get a collector steelbook of Rayman Legends.
Moreover, I noticed a resemblance with Jabba the Hutt, no?
Maybe a wink from ubisoft.

Are you sure? I didn't know there were any PS1 controllers that didn't use D-Pads.Haruka wrote:The first time I used an analog stick was in a PlayStation 1, I thought it was pretty cool at the time.
Oh, D-Pads ... why am I nostalgicising all the time?! Snap out of it!
Oh, yeah, Rayman Legends. Cool stuff. Move on.

Analog stick =/= D-Pad

Rephrased: are you sure you've used an analog stick on the PS1? I didn't think there were any controllers with an analog stick instead of a D-Pad; i.e., I thought all PS1 controllers had only D-Pads.Shrooblord wrote:Are you sure?

Re: Rayman Legends
Let me inform you, Shroob 
There were indeed PlayStation 1 controllers with analog sticks in addition to the D-pad: the first generation of DualShock controllers!

Re: Rayman Legends
Oooh and I thought my massive white spamcontroller was special. It has controls to turn litterally any button combo into a turbo of those buttons. Spam attack ftw! 
Re: Rayman Legends
I don't believe you didn't know, Shrooblord. 
Really, later models of PS1 started to bring the analog sticks, which are the very same ones I tried.
Just look:

Re: Rayman Legends
Ooooh! It... looks just like the PSII ones! 
Re: Rayman Legends
'tis really weird to see people amazed at PSX controllers with analog sticks, that's how I was introduced to them (and to thumb-sticks in general)! I guess this shows how late we were on the uptake of getting a PlayStation (it was the Christmas of 1999
)
Re: Rayman Legends
Only years later I had knowledge that the original PS1 controllers didn't have the analog stick.
