My one concern is that it looks pretty small.
I hope they do increase teh size of it a tiny bit.

 

[Trent Strong]

The handles look too big, and the triggers too small.

 

[magicaltrevor]

I've held a few iterations of the new controller.

The last prototype, which leaked a few days ago, feels great. The triggers, the analog sticks... they're SO much better than the DS3. Heavier, too. Don't worry guys.

Haven't held the one they showed today though... but it doesn't look very different.

I'll report back when they've sent us the latest version.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Looks similar to the previous ones which makes it good.

You won't get in trouble for that?

 

[Marvie_3]

Looks horrible.

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Functionally, it looks great.

Aesthetically, it looks ugly as fuck. 3DS ugly.

 

[Struct09]

I dig it.

 

[Josh7289]

I agree, but I think it looks like a knockoff PC controller.

 

[magicaltrevor]

I wouldn't think so... But I'll check to make sure.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Wasn't 100% sold on it when they first unveiled it.

I actually said out loud, "They didn't fix the fucking triggers!"

But, I dunno.. now that I look at it more, it's growing on me. Looks comfy. Glad they kept the superior symmetrical stick configuration.

We'll see how the triggers feel, I guess.

 

[throwawayname]

Don't know if old, high res

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Why glossy?

because thats basically what they look like after 3 months of use anyway.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I think it looks fine. The hybrid Dualshock 3/Vita d-pad looks less appealing than the prototype.

 

[AppleSmack]

Looks quite good. The share button is glorious.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Don't know if old

that middle pic is all I needed to see. Better analogs, better triggers, better grip.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

D-pad does not look vita-ish

 

[jediyoshi]

Much less jarring. Interested in seeing a shot of it in the wild now

 

[Totobeni]

no Vita's dpad on the thing is a disappointment,they need to bring back the d-pad from the prototype.

 

[FordGTGuy]

I like it!

 

[Graphics Horse]

Did they confirm that the touch pad clicks down? It looks like it would but I don't remember them saying it. And why does it curve over at the back? The prototype had a similar feature but more angular.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Is that a sensor bar?

That my first question when I saw that picture.

 

[Fandangox]

Yay, another dualshock...

What's the touchpad for?

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Looks great (and awesome compared to the prototype). So the light is not really integrated Move but optional depth sensing function with an added peripheral? Seems tacked on at this point but whatever.


Edit:


Oh shit. Looks even more amazing in press photos.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Just noticed how short the 'neck' of the triggers are.
Not liking that.

 

[ChanDangle]

Biggest thing for me was the headphone jacks, I can't wait.

 

[SlowRevolution]

Like how it's laid out and the ideas behind it but I hope they're not completely done with the design yet. Doesn't look as nice as the PS3/360 controller imo, it still seems kind of rough.

 

[ibun]

sharing and options is the new select start? whyyy??? "press options to pause the game"? "press options for maps"? "press options for further options, since wie dont have select for a map and start for start/pause a game" not port number indicators.

 

[Tabris]

How has no one mentioned that the start and select buttons are now gone!? It's the end of an era

The share button pauses the game.

 

[Various Artists]

Anyone thinking the price of the controllers may go up again? I wouldnt be surprised to see it at 69.99 now.

 

[Violater]

I like it.

 

[nataku]

all gloss or matte please. no mix.

No gloss on handheld items. Ever.

Controller needs to be all matte.

 

[Ashes]

yes. See spec thread.

 

[QueenOfThorns]

I liked the prototype one's dpads a lot better. If they added those back to it, it'd be perfect to me.

 

[PAULINK]

This is hilarious. Unfortunately I wish they would have talked more about the ps4's business model.

 

[Mr.Green]

Why is the freaking D-Pad so predominant in 2013? It's used to change weapons and whatnot. Move that shit out of the way and put the analog stick in a more ergonomic spot already damnit.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Really like it. Looks comfy, isn't over-complicated and doesn't stray too far from the Dual Shock.

 

[triplestation]

i hope ps3 controllers are compatible with PS4

i think the design should stay the same no matter how far in the future playstation is, because it's already perfection

 

[ibun]

The share button pauses the game.

i dont want to share °_°"...as i understood it...sharing starts, well sharing, giving me share options.

 

[nataku]

Don't know if old, high res

Looks far better in renders. Usually it's the other way with these things, lol.

I really like the look of the renders.

 

[1cmanny1]

Why didn't the put touch screen on it? It looks quite ugly atm.

 

[nikos]

Looks good and comfortable to me. Can't wait to feel it.

 

[Uno Venova]

Don't know if old, high res

There's our more concave triggers. Very happy with this.

 

[Jinfash]

Looks much sleeker than the prototype. Speaking of which, I wonder if I'd still be impressed by it had they not leaked that ugliness.

 

[Graphics Horse]

i dont want to share °_°"...as i understood it...sharing starts, well sharing, giving me share options.

Yeah but it pauses the game to do that
Obviously it couldn't pause if it's an online game but whatever relevant behaviour will happen.

yes. See spec thread.

Thanks. So it was a mono speaker, weird.

 

[BruiserBear]

I sure wish it had the Vita d-pad. Looks pretty good overall.

 

[rdrr gnr]

Looks great.

Wonder if Orayn will be able to figure out how to hold this one.

 

[Rickenslacker]

Those triggers seem really nice, wish they actually went through and had a second revision of the DS3's as going throughout the entire generation using R1 as a fire button instead should have clued Sony in on how useless their "triggers" were.

Like what I'm seeing with the controller, looks like a comfier DualShock all in all. Though I wish they kept the prototype's d-pad.

 

[MisterC20XX]

I'm probably doing it wrong, but my damn thumbs always hit each other on the current DualShock. More than anything I'm so happy about the extra width moving the thumb sticks apart. The grippy ridge on the thumb sticks in a welcome addition as well.
