Microsoft planning new ‘hardcore’ Xbox One controller claim rumours
There was a big fuss made about the redesigned Xbox One controller when it was first released, with Microsoft insisting that it featured 40 improvements over the Xbox 360 joypad.
Although the public reception was relatively muted, with many considering it only a minor advancement at best, it’s still widely considered to have a least a slight edge on the PlayStation 4’s DualShock 4.
Why then Microsoft would need a ‘hardcore’ controller is unclear, but website Neowin implies that it will primarily be aimed at first person shooter and driving games. They even suggest that the new controller could be unveiled as soon as E3 in June.
It’s not clear exactly what is meant by a hardcore controller, but presumably it would be something along the lines of the controllers produced by third parties such as Razer and Scuf Gaming.
These tend to be more expensive than a standard gamepad, although presumably Microsoft feels a hardcore gamer would be willing to make that sacrifice.

It would be cool for scuf to have a competitor since there the only popular company to make console controllers designed to help in shooters

Sounds like the Razer Sabertooth controller for Xbox one is almost done! Honestly still don't know why they didn't leave the base controller design alone and make multiple versions for people to choose.

XianonicErza Everyone going on about scufs there a waste of money imo
Scuff is only big because they are hyped up by pro gamers its stupid
I had a scuf for the 360 and even though it does improve your game a bit it's impossible to justify spending 140 for a controller unless you plan to play competitive gaming a lot and even still it's limited to COD because trigger stops stop you from shooting/driving in games like GTA and halo because you can't pull the triggers far enough.
I do like the design they have and the idea of it but it's still not worth double or triple the price of a standard controller.
