Razer Raiju Controller for PlayStation 4 Announced, More Details Coming soon

Good news for pad players looking for new options to try: Razer has announced that they are entering the controller market on Sony’s platform.

Their first pro controller, called the Razer Raiju, is billed for the PlayStation 4 and listed as coming soon. While details are vague at this point, we can tell by the images featured on the controller’s landing page that it features a lot of room for customization.

The front of the controller looks like a run-of-the-mill PS4 pad until you get to the bottom, which features audio controls for headset connectivity. While this in itself is irrelevant to chatting in Street Fighter V (which does not feature the function), it could also be used to play in-game audio via the controller to keep from annoying roommates or family during late night sessions. [Likely too that the controller’s audio control functions might be useful within PSN’s Party chat. – Editor]

The back is where most of the questions lie. The controller features 3 buttons on the shoulder, and two on the bottom near the assumed silicone grips. Will there be dedicated buttons for L3 and R3 or will all four extra buttons be macro buttons? Further, will the detachable cable suffer the same fate of the Razer sticks that came before it? Will the fact that there is a detachable USB cable denote that this controller is connected via bluetooth, or will it be a dedicated wired controller?

More on this controller will come as Razer releases details.

Wind the Clock Back to 2008 with the First in VGBootCamp’s “Blast From The Past” Melee Highlights Series

While there are hundreds of highlight compilations following any modern day tournament, it’s rare that montage makers delve back into the past and create montages of landmark events that newer players may have missed. Well, VGBootCamp are seeking to redress the balance with their new “Blast From The Past” series, where they goes through the annals of Melee’s storied history and highlight certain moments from historic tournaments before the age of Twitch.

For their inaugural episode, VGBC has chosen Pound 3 from 2008, a tournament which saw a young Mango making an absolute tear through the Losers’ bracket and proving that his third place at Evo 2007 was not just a fluke. This was back in the days where Mango mained Jigglypuff, players like Azen and PC Chris were still dominant in the Melee scene, and matches were fought on stages like Corneria and Brinstar, if you can believe such a thing. While lacking the high production values of modern day events and filmed via dodgy capture cards or handcams pointed at CRTs, this first look back into the early days of competitive Melee shows just how far the meta, the game, and its players have come.
