After getting dangerously frustrated with red faction last night I decided to cool off with something else, Don't ask me why i kept it but a free disc was given away with the old playstations called demo one. It's packed with playable demos, videos and other cool things.
I put on the porshe challenge demo and i used to own the full game but didn't have the analog controller at the time. The led came on showing that the sticks were supported and then the left one was your steering and the right one was your accelerator/brake, not as sensitive as the dual shock 2 but it's proves a point that Sony did think up the idea WAY before anyone else.
Porsche challenge is made by SCEE and is almost FIVE years old, dreamcast ain't made yet so they couldn't have ripped off the triggers and come to think of it i don't think Nintendo even had their rumble pack out yet, which is another thing this game used.
Nintendo may have been the first to have a directional analog stick but Sony took it one step further.

Did I say that? nope so "LOOK mr lack of game knowledge" if you read the topic again you'll see what I'm getting at, Analog sticks are ancient even the binatone used it, but having 2 with one as your direction and the other as acceleration was first used on a CONSOLE by sony.

oh GOD, FORGET IT THEN, i wasn't talking about the analog stick,I meant using the other one for pressure sensitive acceleration and braking. I didn't mean to start all this again but was mearly stating an interesting fact. jeeese
Neither Nintendo or Sony invented the analogue stick, and nor were they the first to use analogue sticks on a home videogame console.
Analogue sticks were first used on an old Atari VCS in the early 80's.
Whoever invented them... who cares?! We all have the pleasure of using them now, so it's no big deal! If you put half as much energy into playing and enjoying the system and games that you have, rather than trying to diss the 'competition', you might find it far more rewarding.

*PLEASE* let it go... does it really matter?!
