Different games can be played with different types of controllers. For example FPS gamers can choose to play using the keyboard and mouse, or by using a gamepad. Arcade fighting games can also be played using the gamepad, although there are some who swear that using fight sticks feels more authentic and handles better.
We suppose at the end of the day it really boils down to your personal preference. That being said, if you’re looking forward to the upcoming Mortal Kombat X, you might be interested to learn that there could be a custom Mortal Kombat X controller in the works. This is thanks to a photo snapped by Alex Jebailey, the community manager for Iron Galaxy Studios, who spotted the controller at the GameStop EXPO last week.
The custom controllers will be for both the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 and it sports six face buttons, as you can see in the image above, and an enlarged analog stick. It has also removed certain controls from the controller like the D-pads in order to make way for the other buttons and controls.
According to Jebailey, he claims that the controllers have not been officially announced yet as their designs were pending approval from Warner Bros., the publisher for Mortal Kombat X. However given that the game is pegged for a release on the 14th of April 2015, we guess there is still time for the controllers to be approved and launched alongside the game.
