Subject: Oringinal xbox controllers for remake

oh my god

they are also remaking the original xbox controllers to work on 360 for this game i also found out its going to be 39.99 for the game when it comes out hopefully they will throw in the controller too.

To be honest, when I first saw all this in the weekly update I thought 2 things.
#1- there is an actual legendary ending but,
#2- No matter what anyone does,(kill all the bobs, hit all switches etc) that until the "time" mentioned in "There'll be another time..." is reached there won't be a legendary ending.

The weekly update by bungie has slowed my hardcore search for what unlocks the legendary ending.

Sweet! I'm saving my money. Will the old controller have the ability to play on reach, or will we only be able to use it on halo cea?

I'm assuming they will be 360 controllers that merely look like they're original. Otherwise it would be more than slightly pointless to sell them in my opinion.

oh my god

no actually there real xbox controllers that will be compatible with some 360 games.

So.. your telling me that they are practically chopping off the ends and soldering a USB plug to it? I'd hate to respond like this, but that is lame. What exactly is the point?

Here's the story

I would honestly hate playing with that thing. I remember playing the original Halo with that thing for the first time. After two games I used an adapter from my steering wheel to use the Ps2 controller on the Xbox. Yes, I would rather use a Ps2 controller to play Halo: Combat Evolved than the Duke. There's a reason those things were cancelled.

I hateeeeed those fat ones with a passion. :P I always tried to snag the Mad Catz ones at my friends houses.

I actually tried to wire up an s controller to work on the 360 when it first came out. I loved that controller and it was a hard transition to the 360 one when I failed.

Shaquille O'Neal, you can have them all. Seriously, my hands don't even reach around them at all!

Don't get your hopes up. It doesn't look like it's going to be a retail item.

Producer Alison Stroll told Giant Bomb that the studio is talking with expert modders (your Ben Heck types) about producing some working Xbox 360 controllers in original "Duke" controller shells. They won't be mass-produced or anything -- if you want to get your hands almost all the way around one, the controllers are planned to be hooked up to demo units at the Halo Fest being held in Seattle alongside PAX, and then sold at the annual Child's Play auction.

Where is you're source?

  • 06.25.2011 1:11 PM PDT

oh my god

my source ign.

  • 06.25.2011 2:39 PM PDT

The source says they are only going to make them for Halo-Fest, as in no retail sorry bros.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

At this time, I would consider the Xbox 360 Wired Controller to be the best console controller on the market. It's just. Right.

And while I do prefer playing Halo 1 on the Xbox, that's just because it's emulated on the 360. >.> I totally would not want a less ergonomic controller solely for nostalgia.

  • 06.26.2011 3:14 AM PDT

Ohhhh, i do want one of them Dukes.
It was a little bulky, but the size and analogs where perfect. Thats why i bought a couple of them before they went out of stock. Sadly they are not much worth to me now since there is no online service on the old xbox.

I never got used to the small size of the 360 controller, so i hope i somehow can get my hands of one the new ones, if the remake is any good of course.
