The same controller from E3 was shown but its still listed as concept and developers who show off demos for the PS3 (Kojima and Sega) are still using dual shocks I believe.

The only real mention of it was that it's not final.

The one downfall of the PS3 that we know about so far is the batarang. I don't care who they copy or if they have an original concept as long as we don't see that hideous design.

Im sure it is comfortable, i personally found the DS2 handles to be too short.
However, its too big in comparison with the console.

will totally Facebook friend you! *giggle* *LOL*
Yea, same here. I wanted longer handles...not THAT long though :/jamesinclair said:
Solid said:looks hilarious but from people who have actually hold it they say it's very comfortable.
Yeah. I mean you figure for something as important as the MAIN CONTROLLER FOR THE NEXT 5-10 YEARS Sony would be on top of things. I'm pretty sure that design went through a thousand+ people's hands and Sony made adjustments according to their reactions when using it. I'd guess that despite being ugly, it's a fairly good controller.
I don't understand the DS3 hate. I like the aesthetic, it looks far less bulky and edgy than the DS2.
The DS2's form factor was god awful for comfort. The handles were way too fucking short. They weren't handles. They were nubs.
I commend Sony for not just releasing the same goddamn controller again just to please all their fanboys afraid of any change to what they think (for whatever reason) is a "perfect" controller.

The controller itself is actually much smaller than it looks, and that above pic also proves the PS3 console itself is a perfect size.jamesinclair said:
Look at the size of the demonstrator's hand compared to the controller; it really brings a much better sense of scale than any previous pic:

We need more information on this.
I can't say for sure how I'll like it until I try it but since mostly everyone else is offering an opinion without having tried it, I have to say it looks comfortable to me. Looks really classy as well, I like the design.
I think it's designed in such a way that you don't over-grip the controller, I think Sony are trying to discourage that habit. Not only does it lead to injuries, but the more relaxed you are the better you game.

that's not good at all...
for dwarfed japs maybe but not for my big hands.
I would go with the pre-dual shock controller. I forgot what it was called but the handles were definitely longer. Changes I would make to it would dual rumble of course, all analog buttons, more ergonomic handles like the gamecube's controller. L2 and R2 would be triggers with decent travel, the D pad would be more like the Saturn's pad (Japan), and bluetooth of course. It's a basic controller but I feel that's what manufacturers should provide as a baseline for their customers.

I'm sure it'll be fine as long as they've improved the analogue sticks - that's the one flaw with the D-S range of controllers, the gargantuan dead zone. A D-S with proper triggers & Nintendo style analogue would be more or less perfect. I'm not worried about the general design as I doubt Sony would be stupid enough at this stage to release a controller that's completely un-ergonomic.

I thought the PS3 controller was huge before, but if that comparison is accurate I can imagine it being comfortable.Gek54 said:This is a fairly correct comparison, backed by Faf.
Analog sticks and the four face buttons look tiny though.

For the millionth time, Sony dpads are not 4 buttons. They are all one piece, the middle of the dpad is just under the plastic casing of the controller. Also, i find the DualShock2 dpad to be very comfortable to use, i have never had a problem using it with 2d and 3d fighters, and i think it is a better dpad than the ones on the GC and Xbox controllers.

I think it's the best 'all-purpose' controller however I want Sony to make DS3 or whatever they call it better. Thus addressing whatever weaknesses it has. I don't expect them to go the route of the Revolution controller which is pretty radical but not very ergonomic. (IMO: It'll eventually cause carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive stress injury to the wrist.)
The PS3 controller was conceptual since it was first shown at E3.
Again, are their any impressions from someone who's actually held it? I find it wierd that 4 months past now, no one outside of Sony has gotten to hold the most important input device for their new system. You'd think they'd want feedback or something. PEACE.

Anyway, I would like some ffedback on my concept in this other thread(basically PS3 revo controller): http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=63640

I hope sony wont steal this concept, because that would mean that Rev would be left without anything unique again, thus yet again be killed and even more distant in the console race. Maybe Nintendo should have waited a couple of extra months before showing it?
Nintendo's chance next gen is doing some things diffrently that could make the Rev the 2nd console after those who only buy a PS3 or X360.

Even though I joke about it, I love the boomerang design. It looks like something that could be nice and easy to use. I hope they keep it.
My only wish is that they moved the left analog stick and DPAD around. I hate having the sticks so close when playing first person shooters. At least I can use a keyboard and mouse with PLAYSTATION 3.

I really really really hope Sony changes it's mind about that controller. If they don't, I'll just wait for some good 3rd party controller and switch to that.
