10 Strangest PlayStation Controllers We’ve Ever Seen – SlashGear appeared on www.slashgear.com by SlashGear.com.
Every “Resident Evil” game features a mascot monster. For “Resident Evil 3: Nemesis,” it’s the titular Nemesis, and for “Resident Evil 2,” it’s a toss up between Mr. X and G-Birkin. The face of “Resident Evil 4,” meanwhile, is the masked Dr. Salvador and his deadly chainsaw. Since Dr. Salvador is the bane of many playthroughs, why not cathartically turn his weapons on other Ganados and Las Plagas?
When Capcom released “Resident Evil 4,” the company collaborated with NubyTech to produce a chainsaw-shaped controller. Unfortunately, the peripheral was designed with form over function. The device technically works, but its buttons are laid out in hand-cramping locations. For an added layer of intrigue, the blood spatters that decorate the controller are applied randomly, so no two chainsaws are the same.
Since “Resident Evil 4” was originally developed for the Nintendo Gamecube, the chainsaw controller was created with that console in mind. When Capcom ported the game to PlayStation 2, a PS2-compatible chainsaw inevitably followed close behind. The PS2 variant obviously sports the appropriate buttons, as well as a red paint job. Ironically, while the PS2 port of “Resident Evil 4” is graphically inferior to the Gamecube original, its chainsaw controller is the superior peripheral, if only because it adds a ripcord that triggers chainsaw noises.
