While Moga and Nvidia Shield look interesting, they left much to be desired - this part of market is emerging and there is a lot to gain here now. Look at the ergonomics (yep, that is what i think should be your main advertising and designing goal) - different had sizes, not only men and women, there is much more variety, gloves for either sex have many different sizes. Hell, even gun manufacturers started to see that and they add replaceable grips with different sizes! <br />1a. At the same time, both Mogas and Shield look not very pocket for a pocket controller - there is some room for improvement there.<br /><br />2. While Razer and Logitech cater for gamers with "premium" keyboards, which are mechanically very good, they care more about glitter than ergonomics. Have you seen a good ergonomic keyboard? With a really ergonomic layout, that is? Yep, i have one, bought 12years ago and still use it - it has long stroke keys with godawful rubber switches but my wrists and hands don't hurt after long use because they stay in natural position. Why nobody makes anything similar, so i could buy a new one?<br />2a. Long time ago there was a keyboard called Nimble Beauty, in which you could replace standard white keys with color coded ones for every finger - while it is a dumb idea if you want to learn 10-finger method professionally, it's great for casual users, that can slowly try to improve with everyday use. Still, forgotten idea, all we get is red WASD, which is a dumb idea because gamers already know where these keys are ;) .<br /><br />3. Left-handed mice? Haven't seen one in years, best one can get is symmetric one. <br />3a. If we are on mice, why not make a set with some amount of putty or polymer clay and accessories to make yourself a mouse fit for your hand? While most may consider this novelty item, some will make good use of it.<br /><br />4. Trackballs? Supposedly, Logitech is a premium brand, isn't that so? Well, they still make the same models, with more than 10year-old tech sensors, that still count dots. Shocked? Oh, and don't even go looking for left-handed ones ;) . <br /><br /><br />All this may seem strange to read, but i wanted to point you in direction where i see market to grab - and from investors point of view, where to cash on ;) . You buy banks, you have some pocket money to create a good accessories brand :) .nixxxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147808142833178923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-86421223787781523572013-11-17T14:11:31.105+03:002013-11-17T14:11:31.105+03:00Speaking of accessories, for Blitz we are going to...Speaking of accessories, for Blitz we are going to support physical controllers like Moga, Logitech, and even Nvidia Shield.

However many of the settings are different, eg radio works thru the entire map. View ranges are shorter, and since there are fewer places to hide, visibility is more predictable.

Now it seems that it's very intuitive and simple and it will only be slightly more "tankish" (i.e. sluggish) than desktop version.<br /><br />Although, i still think that you, WG, should heavily invest into premium accesories market - not the ones that are just fancy sh*t, like Fatal1ty series, or other recognized brands, that are slightly better but still prefer glitter over ergonomics and useability. There are some simple ideas still laying around to be picked and cashed, for benefit of common users too.nixxxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10147808142833178923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-31158833306012912842013-11-16T21:37:14.548+03:002013-11-16T21:37:14.548+03:00No plans for Vita, or any other platform apart fro...No plans for Vita, or any other platform apart from ios and android in the near future.<br /><br />We have tried a lot of controls prototypes internally (spent like 6 months on them) and the current system appeared to work out best in terms of precision and gameplay depth.

Did I miss it, or if not, is it a planned feature? I find the really useful in game to keep the heaviest armor on the turret pointed in the rough direction of the enemy, while looking elsewhere to steer. This seems like something that would be even more useful on a tablet since it takes longer to look around.

I think that's the wrong direction. I might change my mind once I play it, of course.<br /><br />I suspect while playing I'll be thinking of how much better I could do on PC and end up frustrated with the controls. I totally understand that everyone else will have the same interface limitations as I, but that won't really matter if I know there's a better way.<br /><br />I am quite impressed with how high quality the PC recreation on tablet is, though. So kudos for that. :-)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16190903326255059090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-11066735420988603392013-11-15T22:49:02.414+03:002013-11-15T22:49:02.414+03:0020142014Overlordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097311962547311945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-15028723293172473542013-11-15T21:59:25.787+03:002013-11-15T21:59:25.787+03:00When it will be relased?I cant wait!I want play it...When it will be relased?I cant wait!I want play it now!Wenda2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/10699699547167254461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6041453950289498156.post-77066119354552454902013-11-15T20:33:46.660+03:002013-11-15T20:33:46.660+03:00We tried it and it appeared to be messy, since man...We tried it and it appeared to be messy, since many of the controls would still be touch-based.
