According to IGN xbox triggers are to be replaced by shoulder buttons on the Xbox 2.

BAD.

Where I'm all for innovation, I like my triggers! Imagine Goldeneye without the Z-button, imagine having to use the right shoulder button!

Noooooo!

So after painfully playing AUF and Turok:Evolution on the cube I found myself gravitating towards the Xbox a few years back. It had triggers.

Coincidence? I think not.

So will Nintendo go back to triggers for the Revolution? Will the PS3 take the bold step and aim to have the best controller rather than the worst? Will NONE of the next-gen consoles have triggers AT ALL!!??

Here's hoping I can use my N64 controller on the revolution and my xbox one on it's money grabbing sibling.

Sincerely,

Mr I Appreciate Triggers Esq.

If that's gonna be the case I'll buy a controller adapter and use my Xbox (1) controllers

Thumbs up - *bing* :D

I'm liking the idea at the moment. Could work well if games allow you to swap between the two in the control set up. That would please most I think.

On the S-pad nothing's wrong.

On the original pad they're not in a great place.

I imagine they'll have two smaller triggers lower down and two shoulder buttons on the top. All I know is that they need to get rid of the Black and White..

Love sees no colour...

I'd like a metal controller than doesn't break when your throw it at M Bison because he cheats.

Not sure how long my TV screen would last, mind.

I find the weight of the controller a bit light really - but yeah they do the job.

I'd prefer a proper N64-like Z button though.

I like the Cube ones - press or click for different effect etc.

Trouble is: by trying to appeal to gamers who prefer other genres you lose some of the gamers who liked the triggers.

No doubt many more playstation gamers will love it but personally I'll go with the console that has the best triggers for my FPS needs.

Halo 3 without triggers? Oh please.
