Title: What kind of controller is this?
Post by: tendoboy1984 on September 10, 2012, 08:35:58 PM
I found this photo on GoNintendo, which was allegedly taken from a video showing Valve's offices.

It looks like an Xbox 360 controller with a screen. Is it the Xbox 720's new controller? A controller for Valve's new TV gaming service/thing? What do you think?

Valve said that people using their new TV mode will be using a 360 remote. So, I doubt it.

Huh? I don't see what brightening the picture does to clarify what the controller is... But ok.

Oh jeebus... if the next Xbox controller has a built-in touchscreen, then that's the dumbest...

...oh wait.

It still looks like a controller with a screen built in. The overall shape looks exactly the same as an Xbox 360 controller, but then again, so does this:

So it could be anything.

could still be comfortable, this is

actually if you look closer you can see the same rim line, maybe this is an addon, maybe with extra grip support at the bottom for sliding.

enhance!

2 things:
1. Valve's offices are messy
2. Looks like a great place to work. Cute redheads give you a hand-job while you program.
