Measuring Controller Lag in Console Gaming

Readers that love the minutiae & methodology of our reviews will enjoy this EuroGamer article. They take a look at devising methodology to measure controller input latency in console gaming, a real concern in the wireless controller world. No one likes a laggy game that feels unresponsive.

"Our mantra of '60FPS 60FPS 60FPS!' would all be for nothing if we had horrible input lag," says Infinity Ward's Drew McCoy. "It is extremely helpful being able to see the physical, measurable, result of what is going on in our game - especially if things change or if someone in the office complains that things 'don’t feel right'. If anyone cares about the end user experience of their game, they should be heavily invested in their input latency."
