Here's the final version of it

so you guys with 2 foot fingers can have amazing grip on it.

Is that the Wikipad's mentally and physically challenged cousin?

 

[btkadams]

i need to see the triggers. I must.

THIS. controller looks awesome btw. sony, please release it in purple.

 

[Perkel]

Not true.

The ones on the iMacs/MacBooks are so tiny as to be almost invisible to the eye, like microscopic pinholes, but they work really well.

Now, that 4-mic array on the Eye is definitely a good idea for capturing sound from across the room. Reflections and such. But up close you really don't need a big pickup.

I hope the jack is a 3-striped style like iPhone, if I can use my iPhone headset (not the stock one, come on now) that will be really great.

I agree but you need some bigger mic if you want good mic. I mean without yelling across the room to pad. Also space from pad to face isn't that small to have puny mic.

 

[Laguna X]

We have three pictures, but not one from the rear or side?

Wait a sec... there's three pics? I've only seen this last one and the one from the OP.

 

[Fistwell]

Still looks like shit imo. Are there pics of early DS prototypes floating around the interwebs? I'd like to think sony still has a chance to salvage this... ;_;

 

[injurai]

This is...

Glorious. Do very much want.

is this official?

Or is this just an amazing mock up?

 

[Cake Boss]

This is...

Glorious. Do very much want.

Is the touchpad even capable of this? Displaying small graphics?

 

[deadlast]

can someone take the show me the receipts gif and change it to the show me the triggers gif.

 

[cyberheater]

I have to say. I'm liking the look of the new controller. I'm really glad that Sony hasn't decided to go for a exotic design. A nice simple gamepad with some added functionality. Just what I wanted.

Now lets see what MS comes up with.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Nobody knows.
My suspicion is the smooth surface is either for displaying something or for hiding a camera inside, but it could just be a style decision.

Purple? Oh no, you didn't!! This is personal now.

 

[despire]

Latter

 

[waypoetic]

We do? Photo 1 is the controller plugged in to the PS4 devkit and photo 2 is of the controller from the side. What's photo 3?

 

[Orayn]

What about it?

 

[Oppo]

I agree but you need some bigger mic if you want good mic. I mean without yelling across the room to pad. Also space from pad to face isn't that small to have puny mic.

I don't know, man. There's like a little tiny pinhole in my iPhone headset mic and it works just fine, I use it for hours some days. I even dictated this with it.

 

[Haunted]

Even better from this angle. Far more ergonomic looking! Big improvement over the DS3 imo, what looks to be slightly longer palm handles too.

Wider, bulkier, with longer handles, already looks so much better than any PS controller before it.

 

[TCRS]

What side picture? someone repost all pics, we're on page 52! can't go through the whole thread.

 

[Uno Venova]

Bueno at the new angle, looks great to hold.

 

[Mpl90]

I really like both the idea of a touch pad on PS4 controller and its possible design.

 

[bigboss370]

That would be cool...

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

New pictures look great. Can't to have it in my hands.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Why do the grips appear to be floating in mid air in the new photo?

 

[sTeLioSco]

look great,some tweaks for final version and thats it

 

[Mad_Ban]

Why do the grips appear to be floating in mid air in the new photo?

Because of the curve on the grips? My DS3 looks the same.

 

[M.D]

Update: Another source has told IGN that the mysterious space in the middle of the controller can be pressed like a button, something Kotaku's source has also stated. Our separate source also indicates that the R2 and L2 buttons may actually be more in line with spring-loaded Xbox 360-like triggers and that the light atop the controller is indeed a PlayStation Move sensor.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Why do the grips appear to be floating in mid air in the new photo?

I think you're looking at it wrong. Back half is a lighter colour for some reason, you might be confusing it for a shadow.

 

[Raoh]

Good so far, its wider which is nice, I definitely learned to appreciate wider controllers after using the wii U gamepad which is slightly too wide and could lose about a half inch on both sides for better comfort.

Any picks of new dualshock laying in that same position but displaying its side and back view to compare to these?

I'd like to see the bottom of the grip as well.

 

[PaulLFC]

Why do the grips appear to be floating in mid air in the new photo?

Seems that the bottom of the grips towards the back of the controller are lower than the front, so the controller "sits" on them and the tips of the handles appear to be slightly raised.

 

[def sim]

I'm a fan of the matte finish. Even as a prototype, it's looking good already.

 

[Mad_Ban]

Our separate source also indicates that the R2 and L2 buttons may actually be more in line with spring-loaded Xbox 360-like triggers and that the light atop the controller is indeed a PlayStation Move sensor.

If true, it's looking to possibly be one of my favourite ever controllers.

 

[daveo42]

That would be cool...

I thought we had info that Sony was only going the touchscreen route and not including a display on the controller.

If not, swap out the sticks with the dev controller and we're golden.

 

[TCRS]

shit man the controller was one of the main reasons for me not to buy the PS3, but this looks great. bulkier, bigger, wider, longer, probably heavier as well. Every negative aspect of the DS3 corrected.

 

[Raoh]

The handles look kind of like a straighter version of what the legendary Logitech wireless PS2 controller had.

Greatest Console Gaming Controller EVER made to date.

This is...

Glorious. Do very much want.

I'm hoping/assuming the new dualshock would be able to control tv's, receivers and blu ray players and maybe google tv's.

 

[Cave Johnson]

I don't get the move-like functionality on the controller. How would that make it any more different than the six-axis. Unless of course the six axis is incapable of z-depth tracking.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Very interesting that new picture. I do like the mic jack being in the controller. Means no more having to jump through hoops to use a microphone on the console. Still not a fan of the stick layout but I've survived for 3 gens with it a 4th won't kill me

 

[phosphor112]

I hope the L2 / R2 is more "in" than the L1/R1's. So you can use it to help "hold the controller."

 

[Raoh]

Why do the grips appear to be floating in mid air in the new photo?

It's the Jesus Controller.

 

[TCRS]

I hope you can shoot with the triggers now. Shooting with the shoulder buttons was kind of dumb.

 

[btkadams]

it would be great if the touchpad had leds in it and it could light up a qwerty keyboard.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

Because of the curve on the grips? My DS3 looks the same.

I think you're looking at it wrong. Back half is a lighter colour for some reason, you might be confusing it for a shadow.

Yes the shadows do look weird and fuzzy in the pic. Probably a trick of the light.

 

[itsgreen]

I must say, the first pic it looked really crappy, but that new pic it looks nice!

 

[chubigans]

Holy crap that new pic looks great. I have no problems with the DS3 but damn if that new controller doesn't look awesome.

 

[x-Lundz-x]

That mockup is amazing. Would be pretty cool if it had something of that nature.

 

[phosphor112]

Seems too small for qwerty. I'd be ok with those icons.

 

[Laguna X]

Bolded the answer to your question.

 

[Interfectum]

Oh yes... come to papa DS4.

 

[Violater]

Greatest Console Gaming Controller EVER made to date.

Truth, from the form factor down to how the material just felt in your hand, I could play for hours on end without discomfort.

The DS4 mock up makes me want a nextgen Folklore.

 

[tapedeck]

I liked the original leaked pic alot, it didnt seem too bulky to me really. That new pic just confirms it, they really are addressing the comfort of holding the controller. Now I just need to see the damn triggers and Im all set.

 

[Raoh]

I don't get the move-like functionality on the controller. How would that make it any more different than the six-axis. Unless of course the six axis is incapable of z-depth tracking.

Added accuracy?

or ability to use move controller games with a dualshock instead? I wonder if it would work with games like Under Siege.

Your dualshock serves as a nav controller and the move light on the new controller for motion.

guessing of course.

I hope its fairly priced to for buying a second controller. I don't see third parties making any good versions of this.

Edit**

Laguna X answered the question.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Hmm, can't tell if it has proper triggers or not from the new pic. Will someone please just leak the bottom view of this thing?!
