Oh yes... come to papa DS4.

Agreed! I'm all over this.

 

[sangreal]

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

looks awesome. wouldn't mind if this is what they launch with

 

[Orayn]

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.

Those controllers could track acceleration in X, Y, and Z, as well as orientation in terms of pitch, yaw, and roll, hence the name "SIXAXIS." Adding the LEDs and watching them with the new camera makes it possible to track absolute position as well.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I really want to see what the triggers look like. Hopefully we'll get something soon.

 

[MoGamesXNA]

That new pic looks great. I really like the combination of shiny and matte finishes. Is it February 20 yet?

I'm actually surprised that more pictures of the console and controller haven't leaked. The floodgates should have opened by now damnit.

 

[Laguna X]

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

I'm hoping that options allowing users to "map the controller buttons" to their liking becomes mandatory for all games.

 

[WillyFive]

So the handles no longer look like knives. Improvement.

Could it be for Wonderbook DS-fouracus

 

[btkadams]

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

maybe.

i feel like the lack of markings on the unknown buttons we see next to the trackpad might hint towards leds that light up labels when turned on.

 

[TCRS]

I'm hoping that options allowing users to "map the controller buttons" to their liking becomes mandatory for all games.

That's of course the best scenario.

 

[Punkster_NY]

Yo son that's fire! You should post this up in a new thread.

[Dahbomb]

I want this in my hands yesterday.

 

[Astral/H3X]

I wish it was more of an IR version implementation of PS Move tracking... Tracking a glowing ball leaves no room for angle or anything, which IMO removes all point. Also, tiny IR camera is far less conspicuous than a giant glowing ball.

 

[kaching]

Look at it as a way to have the Move functionality available in a "gets by" state without having to buy entirely separate hardware anymore. Incorporating it really won't inflate the base price of the DS controller and if you really want a more full fidelity Move experience, you can buy the wand controller.

 

[Paddington Bear]

This

VS. This

Wow. At first I was kinda skeptical but if that second one was final I'd be ok haha

 

[DBT85]

Well I tweeted the new pic at Eurogamer and put it in the comments on their article. No update though.

 

[Tuck]

Second pic makes the controller look pretty good. The touch pad in the center looks weird, but the controller itself looks more ergonomic than the DS3.

 

[Orayn]

In theory, you get angle from the gyros instead.

 

[Cheddahz]

 

[Roubjon]

That headphone jack is something I've always wanted. Really hope that makes it to the final version.

 

[Metalmurphy]

That new pic looks fake to me.


Very clean/sterile like a CG render with intentional noise to hide how clean it is.

 

[sangreal]

that came from this thread

 

[Jarmel]

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

I actually kinda like it now. Looks thinner than I thought.

 

[Cheddahz]

Blah......I was too lazy to look it up

 

[Loudninja]

I am sure it will.

 

[DieH@rd]

New shot of the gamepad looks awesome. But there is still several unknowns [2 mysterious "buttons", shoulder buttons, mic/speaker].

Can someone process this image and eliminate grain?

 

[bigboss370]

I kind of wish the touchpad was a touchscreen now



it actually looks kind of ugly if there's no display on it.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Headphone/headset jack, confirmed! Bring it, Sony!

 

[Throwaway123456789]

That would be cool...

That's not how the touchpad I posted (and use) work though. The icons are always there, but they are invisible until lit from underneat.

 

[Binabik15]

I really like the cross shaped, slightly recessed area around d-pad and face buttons on DS, this one has the circles around both that Vita has.

Looks good on the Vita, not so good here. I hope the final controller will go back to crosses, but a more refined version with different plastics like Vita would not be that bad.

 

[mohsinkhan]

I actually kinda like it now. Looks thinner than I though.

Agreed, it looks great IMO. I need to see those triggers though.

 

[iosef]

Oops, ignore

 

[BosSin]

So. On the devkit there are a bunch of numbers ranging from 0-7, could the light-bar be a more convenient way of displaying which player you are? Rather than including pointless move capabilities

 

[CaptainTiptop]

That headphone jack is something I've always wanted. Really hope that makes it to the final version.

It reminds me of the Panasonic 3DO controllers, haha.

I hope to see it stay, too.

 

[Raoh]

That headphone jack is something I've always wanted. Really hope that makes it to the final version.

I also hope its a standard 3.5mm and not that silly 2.5mm microsoft uses.

 

[Violater]

I wish the touch pad could be used to swype in text input.

 

[DBT85]

I wish it was more of an IR version implementation of PS Move tracking... Tracking a glowing ball leaves no room for angle or anything, which IMO removes all point. Also, tiny IR camera is far less conspicuous than a giant glowing ball.

In this case it would be tracking a rectangular shape though so it would potentially be able to ascertain that rotation.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

This looks fricken perfect!!

 

[phosphor112]

Blah......I was too lazy to look it up

Lol, it's literally like the 12th time someone posted it thinking it was from elsewhere.

EDIT: Bruce, my man, quote that. It's already posted lololol

 

[jett]

The new picture looks more interesting. You can their goal is to blend the touch screen into the pad. I don't know about the change to the sticks. The headphone jack is interesting too, I imagine it will only carry voice chat audio.

Don't believe this one for a second.

 

[Orayn]

Giving each player a different color of light is something Move does already.

According to Swifty (?) earlier in the thread the 2 buttons are start/select

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

This looks fricken perfect!!

Exactly. I couldn't have asked for anything more in a controller. This has everything. Let's hope the battery life ain't shit.

It's a good successor to Dualshock 3.

 

[ebullientprism]

Is that a Headphone/Headset jack at the bottom?

Wonder whats the probability of being able to plug in any 3.5mm Headset in there? That would be amazing.

 

[Pitmonkey]

Tried cleaning up the image for you guys...

 

[BosSin]

VIA CVG - http://www.computerandvideogames.co...-deeper-analysis-of-the-controller-prototype/

Don't believe this one.

This one looks like a bad photoshop

 

[Dead Prince]

This looks fricken perfect!!

looks very logitech like. unsure if want until i get hands on.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Now I need pictures of the trigger!

 

[dragonbane]

Looks awesome. Liked the DS3 already, DS4 looks even better to me. I'm fine with it. Bring it Sony!
