Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Yeah. The paddles on the elite are perhaps the biggest innovation in controllers that actually make a moment to moment difference in a long time. The variable triggers and all are fine, but those programmable paddles are so drat useful. Best example is FPS, being able to jump/duck without taking my thumb off the R stick that controls where I look. Or stringing blocks/dodges in a game like dark souls while still keeping eyes on the opponent. It’s great.

If the new Xbox default controllers just had one single built in, non-detachable paddle on each side (for R vs L dommies) it would probably be such a huge selling point that the Xbox would have quite the chance of beating the PS5 all across the market.

They keep adding games from my steam wishlist. I am glad I held off on getting AoW Planetfall. I've been a ton of vids of people playing Human Fall Flat and it looks hilarious.

What's the point of instant resume for more than one game? The feature barely ever works for one game because most games have you sign in to some bespoke service like racenet for dirt rally or battlefield servers so they can track every possible metric and it times out if your console is off for more than a few minutes and boots you to the main screen anyway.

Even single player games do this.

Signing in again is faster than going from start to game but that's also a thing they claim to have improved so, uh

Why not just call it Xbox Series though and put the X on the next iteration of the console. :psyduck:

Maybe a less powerful console (Lockhart) will be called Xbox Series S.

Here is a fanmade comparison with an XboneX. It is a tiny bit oversized because the new controllers are smaller (what they used for measurements)

Also just one USB port on the front when they have so much room to work with. They have no confidence Xbox will ever be the standard for fighting games again.

I like the design from an engineering standpoint, I think the cube shape is to accommodate a big 120mm fan that can cool the whole unit. It could end up much quieter than the current consoles.
