Todd McFarlane's Halo 3 Controllers Could Be Better Posted by XanTium | September 25 17:33 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From gizmodo.com: [QUOTE] A Todd McFarlane/Microsoft collaboration to work on Halo 3 controllers should be a winning combo...but it's not. Plastering a glossy reprint all over a controller isn't cool, it's gaudy and cheap looking. And packaging in Halo figurines doesn't make the design any better. If I wanted something that looked like this, I'd go find a third party Nuby controller in the bargain bin at Best Buy and avoid paying $60. [/QUOTE] Full Story: gizmodo.com

Even if they're crappy, many people will buy them anyway, thus giving microshaft a profit.

Capitalism FTW!

Yeah, they're hideous, I've said that since they were first announced. I don't care if you've painted the Mona Lisa, plastering it on a controller is going to look like crap. If I had a Halo 3 Xbox 360, I'd definitely want all black or green controllers and skip these.

Even if the images on the controllers was crisp and clear looking, I still wouldn't buy them. No matter what images, or high quality they are, I don't want them on my controllers. IMO they always look tacky.

Just solid colors on controllers for me. Even if they're more expensive than ones with images on them, I'd still only buy solid colors.

You can't really tell if it's supposed to be Halo or Bionix or Bionicle or whatever that crap is called. Microsoft needs to hire more than just bean counters.

Has anyone else noticed that the horrible squashed looking Master Chief actually looks more like they had a picture of a Grunt and went over it to make it look (a bit) like MC? It even has the classic grunt pose.
IMO, they really do look tacky, and they don't stand on a shelf properly, the packaging is crap. They fall off the shelves at work :/

Speaking of Master Chief..

Master Chief is a really stupid name... could'nt they have come up with something better than that

[proger]

"Master Chief Petty Officer is the ninth, and highest, enlisted rank (E-9) in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, just above Senior Chief Petty Officer, and is a non-commissioned officer. They are referred to as Master Chief in most circumstances."

Hes actually named John.

It's called art, it looks freaking awesome and Todd McFarlane rules.

You're the same nerds that have to match every component in your stereo cabinet.

[DMAddict]

Umm, the bottom looks good. The top looks like it has halo throw-up all over it.

I never did like them, but we know they will sell well because "it's Halo". I do want the H3 headset, but army green and orange don't go well with white....or black game systems

Oh ok.. I didn't know that.

IMO the one on the right sucks and the one on the left is acceptable but if they charge more than $5 extra ill pass.

Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day, so it is no surprise to me that you are half right. Todd McFarlane is pretty damn cool.... but even McFarlane is allowed to suck at something... and apparently Todd sucks at making controllers look cool.

You are the weakest link. Good bye.

[flashfreak]

I reckon they look quite good, and am interested in getting one. I've recently realised it'd be cool to have 4 diff controllers. Ie, one white, one black, one halo, maybe one of those new blue ones. Kinda like how on the n64 every1 would have their own colour controller.

Also, love this pic, the t bagging:


Have people seen the halo 3 beta red vs blue? Its probably been around for ages, but i never saw it on the site. Found it the other day and reckon its great. Check it out on youtube if u havnt seen it
