PRESS RELEASE: JUNE 30, 2014 – Scuf Gaming announces pre-sale of the SCUF 4PS for PlayStation 4 on Monday, June 30th

 

A new era has arrived for PlayStation 4 fans now that Scuf Gaming has introduced its clever functions to the improved PS4 controller. Scuf Gaming has officially launched the SCUF 4PS enabling elite gamers to utilize more of their hand in a comfortable, safe and ergonomic way. The SCUF 4PS is feature rich with several patented features, including two “SCUF HOOK” back paddles, a fully redesigned back and built-in high-grade SCUF Pro-Grip handles, which are normally an upgrade on SCUF controllers. The two back paddles come standard with A&B configuration but can be mapped according to your preference as an upgrade using the EMR (Electro Magnetic Remapping) Mag Key – (the EMR feature will be released at a later date.) For gamers unfamiliar with SCUF, these paddles mimic the allocated face buttons so you can keep your thumbs on the thumbsticks, while using the back-paddles with your middle fingers to perform more advanced moves. Customers also have the option to choose their favorite SCUF Precision Thumbsticks in domed or concave, which come in three different lengths (regular, medium, long) and various color options.  Sports and fighting game fanatics will be thrilled to try the new SCUF CONTROL DISC, which is fully removable and offers extra control and accuracy for the d-pad! Gamers are winning with the tactical edge that SCUF provides where over 85% of Professional Gamers in Console use SCUF for shooters.

We believe the results are impressive and further display the innovation our customers have come to expect from Scuf Gaming, said Duncan Ironmonger, CEO and Co-Founder of Scuf Gaming. “SCUF controllers are all about functionality and comfort so our focus is on offering unique features which empower every gamer to personalize their controller to suit their gameplay. From paddles to grip to the size of thumbsticks, every part of a SCUF controller is about improving core performance so you can become the best gamer you can be!”

SCUF_FEATURE_LOGO_on_Light_Clear
Fortnite, le jeu de bataille royale en free-to-play, combine mécanismes de constructions, défis créatifs et un gameplay compétitif intense. Pour l'emporter, il va falloir non seulement être un meilleur tireur que vos adversaires, mais également pouvoir changer d'armes ou construire des structures instantanément.

Dans ce guide, nous vous montrerons comment tirer le meilleur parti de votre manette SCUF dans Fortnite. Nous allons d'abord couvrir les bases, puis vous présenterons des techniques et configurations plus avancées.

Bien débuter

La première chose à faire, c'est d'apprendre à utiliser la fonctionnalité la plus importante des manettes SCUF : le système de contrôle de palettes SCUF. Commençons par le jeu sur deux palettes. Par défaut, la palette la plus à gauche (P4) est configurée sur Sauter et la palette tout à droite (P1) est configurée sur Mode construction. Entraînez-vous en jeu à n'utiliser que vos palettes pour réaliser ces actions. Cela peut vous prendre un peu de temps, mais avec la pratique, vous développerez la mémoire musculaire nécessaire. En maîtrisant le jeu sur deux palettes, vous pourrez esquiver les tirs ennemis et prendre l'avantage en passant rapidement au mode Construction, pour être prêt à tout instant à faire face à toute sorte de menaces.

Passons maintenant aux deux palettes intérieures. Par défaut, la palette intérieure gauche (P3) est configurée sur Recharger/Interagir et la palette intérieure droite (P2) est configurée sur Arme suivante/Ramasser l'arme. Répétez le même processus, mais en incorporant maintenant l'une des deux palettes intérieures. Ignorez les touches du dessus de la manette jusqu'à ce que vous utilisiez naturellement l'ensemble de vos palettes. Même en pratiquant régulièrement, cela peut prendre jusqu'à deux semaines.

Maîtriser vos quatre palettes vous donnera la possibilité de sauter, recharger, changer d'arme et activer le mode Construction tout en conservant 100 % de votre précision.

Configuration de palette

Maintenant que vous êtes passé maître dans l'utilisation des palettes, penchons-nous sur la reconfiguration. En fonction de votre modèle, vous devrez soit utiliser une clé EMR, soit activer la touche de reconfiguration (si vous possédez une SCUF Vantage). Appuyez et maintenez la touche que vous souhaitez assigner à votre palette ou touche Sax. Une fois que vous aurez terminé, retirez la clé EMR (ou remettez la touche de reconfiguration de votre SCUF Vantage à sa position initiale), et lancez une partie ! Que vous soyez un joueur agressif qui change d'armes à la volée lors des affrontements intenses, ou un joueur stratégique qui planifie avec soin tous ses déplacements, votre SCUF peut être configurée de façon à complémenter votre style de jeu. Revenez bientôt pour une vidéo sur encore plus de configurations pour Fortnite !

Joysticks

Si vous voulez améliorer votre précision en jeu, même s'il est évident que les palettes sont un élément incontournable, rien n'est plus important que d'utiliser des joysticks adaptés. Tout le monde a ses préférences, mais également des tailles de mains et de pouces différentes. C'est pourquoi les joysticks SCUF sont interchangeables : afin de s'adapter parfaitement à votre style de jeu et à vos besoins en matière de confort.

Il y a deux éléments clés dans le choix de vos joysticks : leur forme et leur taille.

  1. Les joysticks concaves sont conçus pour un grand contrôle des mouvements.

  2. Les joysticks bombés sont conçus pour favoriser la précision.

  3. Les joysticks courts sont conçus pour une plus grande réactivité.

  4. Les joysticks longs sont conçus pour vous donner plus d'angles avec lesquels jouer.


Pour les joueurs agressifs favorisant les fusils à pompe, nous recommandons un joystick court concave sur la gauche et un joystick court bombé sur la droite. Vous vous déplacerez vite, et serez toujours prêt à réagir et à faire feu.

Pour les joueurs plus défensifs, utilisant des fusils de sniper par exemple, nous recommandons d'opter pour un joystick court concave sur la gauche, et un joystick long bombé sur la droite. Ainsi, vous conservez votre capacité à vous déplacer et à changer de direction rapidement, mais bénéficierez d'un contrôle plus fin lorsque vous ajusterez votre visée.

Manette PC et PS4 pour Fortnite


Système de gâchette

Les palettes SCUF améliorent vos performances générales et nos joysticks améliorent votre précision. Quand à notre système de gâchette, il accélère considérablement la vitesse à laquelle vous pouvez viser et tirer. Le système de contrôle des gâchettes SCUF est disponible sur tous nos modèles de manette, et vous offre un paramétrage complet de vos bloque-gâchettes et du point de déclenchement de vos gâchettes.

Pour Fortnite, nous recommandons d'utiliser des bloque-gâchettes, à moins que vous ne souhaitiez utiliser des véhicules (dont la conduite nécessite le spectre complet de mouvement). Cela réduira la distance que votre gâchette doit parcourir au-delà de son point d'activation. Vous gagnerez ainsi de précieuses millisecondes pour viser et tirer.

Pour encore plus de personnalisation, raccourcissez le point d'activation de vos gâchettes. Nous vous conseillons de faire cet ajustement en jeu : serrez la clé jusqu'à atteindre le point d'activation, c'est-à-dire jusqu'au moment où votre arme se mettra à tirer toute seule. Desserrez ensuite d'un ou de plusieurs tours, en fonction de vos préférences.

Les adeptes inconditionnels de FPS peuvent également opter pour nos bumpers TAP numériques et nos gâchettes numériques (disponibles pour les SCUF IMPACT et Infinity4PS PRO). Ces options éliminent totalement le spectre de mouvement des bumpers et gâchettes, sur un principe de déclenchement similaire à un clic de souris. Ce type de touches est recommandé uniquement aux joueurs jouant exclusivement aux FPS.

Vibrations

Non seulement les vibrations perturbent votre visée, mais elles induisent également une plus grande fatigue, du fait du poids plus élevé de la manette. Nous recommandons de commander une manette SCUF sans module de vibration (ou bien de les enlever si vous disposez d'une SCUF Vantage).

Manette Xbox One pour Fortnite

Touches Sax

Si vous possédez une SCUF Vantage, vous disposez de deux touches Sax additionnelles, conçues pour réduire les mouvements de vos doigts et augmenter votre réactivité. Elles sont situées sur le côté de votre manette, et peuvent être activées à l'aide de l'intérieur de vos doigts. Pour commencer, nous recommandons d'assigner Arme précédente à S1 et Arme suivante à S2. À l'aide des touches Sax, vous pourrez changer facilement d'arme tout en sautant et en construisant en utilisant vos palettes.

Paramètres de jeu

Maintenant que vous connaissez les réglages qui feront de vous un meilleur joueur, passons à l'optimisation de vos paramètres en jeu, afin de hisser votre gameplay au niveau supérieur et de rejoindre l'élite de l'élite. Nous vous recommandons d'aller dans le menu des paramètres de Fortnite et de faire quelques petites modifications.

Optez pour ramasser des objets d'une simple pression de palette, plutôt que d'avoir à la maintenir appuyée.

Allez dans Paramètres > Jouabilité

Appui pour Chercher/Interagir > Activé

Construisez des bases et structures à vitesse grand V.

Allez dans Paramètres > Jouabilité

Construction turbo > Activé

Manette PS4 Pro pour Fortnite

C'est le moment de jouer

Maintenant que vous avez personnalisé différents aspects de votre manette et optimisé vos paramètres, il est temps de tester vos performances en lançant une partie ! Comme tout changement, vous aurez peut-être besoin de temps pour vous y adapter. Cependant, avec un peu de pratique et de détermination, toutes les fonctionnalités SCUF vous permettront de révéler tout votre potentiel !

SCUF RELEASE NEW 3-DIMENSIONAL SIDEWINDER BACK PADDLES FOR SCUF ONE CONTROLLERS ENABLING PLAYERS TO ACHIEVE BETTER PLAY FOR VARYING HAND SIZES

Scuf Gaming continues to innovate and announce their 3-dimensional patent pending “SCUF Sidewinder” paddles for SCUF ONE controllers.

Sidewinder - blog edit

Duncan Ironmonger, CEO & Co-Founder of Scuf Gaming says “To compensate for the increased depth of the controller handles on the Xbox One controller, SCUF wanted to release a new 3-dimensional paddle that would enable gamers with all hand sizes to access the paddles even easier. The new SCUF Sidewinder paddles are angled at approximately 30 degrees and operate by a push-in/ pull-across motion which offer the ideal solution for even more ergonomic paddle game-play”

 

The paddle concept SCUF invented over 4 years ago is the ONLY real solution for utilizing more of your hand in a safe and ergonomic way. SCUF’s award winning ‘flat’ back paddles offer the perfect solution for all SCUF Xbox 360, PS3 controllers and are a very viable option for many gamers on Xbox One. However the new Sidewinder paddles compensate for the deeper handles and fully cater for all hand shapes and sizes for use on the Xbox ONE SCUF!

 

Duncan Ironmonger continues “Our ability to listen to the community and our desire to innovate and produce the best possible ergonomic solutions is what drives us and is why such a large percentage of the Pro Gaming community trust and use our products. We truly value our customers and as such will be sending ALL existing SCUF ONE customers a FREE pair of SCUF Sidewinder paddles! We believe in rewarding our loyal customers and as such will be sending these out for them to try over the coming 2-3 weeks – there is no need to contact us to request these!”

 

Two outside position SCUF Sidewinder paddles now come standard on the SCUF ONE controller.  If a customer chooses a four-paddle option, two SCUF ‘flat’ back paddles will be placed on the internal positions of the controller.

 

Prior to SCUF controller, the middle fingers of the hand were left redundant so SCUF created a way to use them for better performance.  SCUF Paddles can increase the use of your hand by up to 100%. By using up to 4 paddles on the underside of your controller, gamers are able to improve their hand movement and perform more advanced moves.

With over 4 patents issued and another 20 pending, Scuf Gaming/ Ironburg specialize in creating gaming accessories to help improve your gaming experience. Duncan Ironmonger continues “Our controller ethos is centered around designing accessories that increase hand use in a SAFE natural way while improving comfort and reducing latency in an intuitive and ergonomic way – we call it SCUFOLOGY!”
