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, il vivace battle royale gratuito, offre meccaniche di costruzione uniche, sfide creative e avvincenti partite competitive. Per vincere dovrai essere in grado di superare l'avversario in potenza di fuoco e di alternare facilmente diverse armi e opzioni di costruzione.

In questa guida, ti mostreremo come ottenere il massimo dal tuo controller SCUF in Fortnite. Partiremo dalle basi per poi concentrarci su tecniche e configurazioni più avanzate.

Primi passi

Per prima cosa, impariamo come usare la funzionalità più importante di un controller SCUF: il sistema di controllo delle palette. Iniziamo con la configurazione predefinita di un controller con due palette: di norma, la paletta esterna sinistra (P4) è associata a Salta e quella esterna destra (P1) a Cambia modalità. Durante una partita, prova a usare solo le palette per eseguire queste azioni e ignora i pulsanti frontali. Probabilmente ti servirà del tempo per abituarti alle palette, ma continua a fare pratica e vedrai che riuscirai ad allenare la tua memoria muscolare. Padroneggiare le due palette ti aiuterà a evitare i nemici e accedere velocemente alla modalità costruzione per avere la meglio sugli avversari e riuscire a gestire qualsiasi minaccia ti si presenti.

Ora passiamo alle due palette interne. Nella configurazione predefinita del controller, la paletta interna sinistra (P3) è associata a Ricarica/Interagisci e quella interna destra (P2) ad Arma successiva/Piccone. Ripeti lo stesso procedimento di prima, ma ora includi una delle due palette interne. Ignora i pulsanti frontali finché non hai acquisito dimestichezza con l'utilizzo delle palette al loro posto. Fai pratica regolarmente e dovresti riuscire ad abituarti completamente al loro utilizzo nel giro di due settimane.

Padroneggiare tutte e quattro le palette ti darà un vantaggio formidabile, dato che potrai saltare, ricaricare, cambiare arma e accedere alla modalità costruzione senza staccare il pollice dall'analogico, il quale sarà sempre pronto a mirare.

Configurazione delle palette

Ora che hai padroneggiato le palette, è il momento di riconfigurarle. A seconda del modello del tuo controller, dovrai usare una chiave EMR o attivare l'interruttore di riconfigurazione (nel caso tu abbia uno SCUF Vantage). Premi e tieni premuto il pulsante che vuoi associare alla tua paletta o al tuo pulsante Sax. Quando hai finito, rimuovi la chiave EMR (o disattiva l'interruttore di riconfigurazione su SCUF Vantage) e inizia a giocare. Che tu preferisca svuotare velocemente i caricatori delle tue armi durante intensi scontri di fuoco o pianificare strategicamente il percorso ideale per sfuggire alla contesa, puoi adattare il tuo SCUF al tuo stile di gioco. Tieni d'occhio il nostro canale per non perderti un imminente video su altre configurazioni per Fortnite!

Analogici

Nonostante le palette rappresentino un grande vantaggio, quando si tratta di perfezionare le tue prestazioni di gioco, avere gli analogici giusti è essenziale per mirare meglio. Abbiamo tutti mani e pollici di misure diverse, nonché preferenze personali. È per questo che gli analogici SCUF sono intercambiabili: si abbinano al tuo stile di gioco unico e alle tue preferenze di comfort.

L'analogico è caratterizzato da due aspetti: forma e misura.

  1. Gli analogici concavi sono pensati per un maggiore controllo del movimento.

  2. Gli analogici convessi sono pensati per una maggiore precisione.

  3. Gli analogici corti sono pensati per movimenti più veloci.

  4. Gli analogici lunghi sono pensati per offrirti un angolo di rotazione più ampio.


Per i giocatori aggressivi, come quelli che prediligono i fucili a pompa, consigliamo un analogico concavo corto sul lato sinistro e uno convesso corto sul lato destro. Sarai in grado di muoverti velocemente e riuscirai a mirare in un lampo.

Per i giocatori difensivi, come quelli che prediligono i fucili di precisione, consigliamo un analogico concavo corto sul lato sinistro e uno convesso lungo sul lato destro. Potrai comunque muoverti velocemente, ma la tua mira sarà molto più precisa.

Sistema dei grilletti

Mentre le palette migliorano le tue prestazioni generali e gli analogici migliorano la tua mira, il nostro sistema dei grilletti ti permetterà di portare la tua velocità mentre miri e spari al livello successivo. Il sistema di controllo dei grilletti marcato SCUF è disponibile per ogni modello di controller e offre una personalizzazione completa dei grilletti grazie ai ferma grilletti e alla corsa dei grilletti regolabile.

Per Fortnite, ti consigliamo di attivare i tuoi ferma grilletti, a meno che tu non abbia intenzione di usare dei veicoli (poiché richiedono che l'intero movimento del grilletto funzioni correttamente). Ridurranno la distanza percorsa dai grilletti oltre il punto di attivazione e ti permetteranno di sparare e mirare più velocemente.

Per personalizzare ulteriormente i tuoi grilletti, grazie a questo sistema potrai anche modificare la distanza del punto di attivazione. Ricorda che dovresti regolare la corsa dei grilletti quando sei nel gioco. Per prima cosa, gira la chiave finché non raggiungi il punto di attivazione (ovvero il punto in cui l'arma inizierà a sparare automaticamente). Dopodiché, riduci la distanza necessaria per raggiungerlo con 1 singolo giro della chiave, o in base alle tue preferenze.

Per gli appassionati di sparatutto, consigliamo i nostri bumper e grilletti digitali (per SCUF IMPACT e Infinity4PS PRO). Questa funzionalità permette di attivare i bumper e i grilletti con un clic istantaneo simile a quello di un mouse, eliminando completamente il loro raggio di movimento. Consigliamo questa opzione solo ai giocatori che giocano esclusivamente a sparatutto.

Vibrazione

La vibrazione non solo può interferire con la tua mira, ma può anche affaticare le tue mani a causa del maggiore peso del controller. Ti consigliamo di ordinare il tuo SCUF senza motori/moduli di vibrazione (o di rimuoverli se usi uno SCUF Vantage).

Controller per Fortnite su Xbox One

Pulsanti Sax

Se possiedi uno SCUF Vantage, hai a disposizione due punti di accesso aggiuntivi chiamati pulsanti Sax. Questi pulsanti sono stati progettati per ridurre i movimenti inutili delle dita e migliorare le tue prestazioni. Sono situati ai lati del controller e puoi attivarli con la parte interna delle dita. Consigliamo di associare Arma precedente a S1 e Arma successiva a S2 per iniziare. Scorri le tue armi senza problemi con i pulsanti Sax mentre usi le palette per saltare e costruire.

Impostazioni di gioco

Ora che hai scoperto tutti i cambiamenti meccanici che ti aiuteranno a migliorare le tue abilità in Fortnite, passiamo alle impostazioni digitali così da permetterti di ottenere il massimo dal tuo SCUF. Ti consigliamo di andare nelle impostazioni di Fortnite e modificare leggermente quelle predefinite.

Raccogli più velocemente gli oggetti toccando rapidamente la paletta invece di tenerla premuta.

Vai in Impostazioni > Gioco

Tocca per cercare/interagire >

Tieni premuto il pulsante della costruzione per guardarti intorno mentre costruisci e costruire più velocemente una base.

Vai in Impostazioni > Gioco

Controller ad alte prestazioni per Fortnite su PS4

Adesso si gioca

Ora che hai personalizzato i vari aspetti del tuo controller e regolato le tue impostazioni, è il momento di lanciarsi nel gioco e mettere alla prova la tua nuova configurazione del controller! Come per qualsiasi altro cambiamento, abituarsi a queste nuove impostazioni potrebbe richiedere tempo. Tuttavia, con un po' di pratica e dedizione, ogni funzionalità marcata SCUF ti aiuterà a raggiungere il tuo pieno potenziale e a dare il meglio di te in Fortnite!

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!”
