Why are the face buttons where they are? Dpad?
The face buttons are meant to be ambidextrous. You've still got access to just as many buttons(more if you count touch screen) as a 360 controller without lifting your thumb off the right trackpad.

I imagine it'll be useless for certain games due to lack of dpad though.

What makes you say that? Those pads could be made to work like a digital d-pad just as easily as an analog.

True, but I just can't see it being as responsive as a regular dpad since you couldn't just put your thumb on it and lean it in directions quickly.

Then again one of the Super Meat Boy devs thought it was good for his game and that's not exactly an easy game.

Maybe not, but it probably wouldn't be any worse than using a 360/PSP d-pad. Actually the odds are good that it would be better.

You guys did just make me realize that not having a d-pad gives it essentially 4 less buttons/selectors though.

Yea in FPS on console you can map weapons and whatnot to d pad. Without that.....welll thats less input options.

Well, then again it does have a center multi-touch/button press screen to make up for that.

In fact that gives it infinitely more buttons which can be mapped and changed based on context. So even that is superior to having a d-pad.

Really strange.
Either the guy that made that comic came here, saw my post and stole it for his joke.

...Or I am actually the guy that makes that comic.
