Nice, I'm in the absolute minority in saying that I actually like it. While the DS4 is a large step up from the previous iterations, it still doesn't feel "perfect". No touchpad and mic is an absolute deterrent however...

 

[darkside31337]

Awful. I expected something better from Hori.

 

[jeremy1456]

How is this a PS4 controller if it doesn't have the basic new features that a PS4 controller has?

It's like making a Wii remote without a motion sensor.

It's more akin to making a Wii remote without a port for nunchucks/classic controllers.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Im much prefer the provided updated drivers for their fightsticks.

Madcatz too

greedy bastards. You can fuck off if you think im paying £150 for another fight stick.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

I believe it's from the ending of the Palestinian Chicken episode but I'm not 100% sure on that

edit: pretty sure I'm wrong thinking about it..

No you are correct.

 

[Steel]

The thing that always kills it for me with these is the wire. What is this 1999?

Actually I prefer wired. Never have to worry about charging and it doesn't honestly get in the way. That being said, no headset and touchpad is an instant deal-breaker.

which one?

The one everyone uses.

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

Looks bad...

Why is there no touchpad?

 

[bon]

Looks a bit awkward but so does the DS4.

 

[Soulflarz]

No thanks...at all.

 

[Vandiger]

Why Hori?

 

[Dugna]

So you know what happens if a game uses a touchpad for something important like lets say Infamous? This controller is pretty much useless.

 

[Jabba]

But they were already in the right place...

I agree, and they are in the right place on this controller too.

 

[rudieboy77]

For all those recent 360 converts.

 

[Carl]

What a pile of useless shite.

 

[Linkyn]

Now that is one ugly controller. I never quite understood the appeal of assymetric sticks, but to each his own.

 

[Raptor]

It looks like pure garbage.

If it was for the DS3 I might had consider it, but the DS4 is actually a very awesome controller, stick placement and all.

 

[wilflare]

hmm reminds me of this for some strange reason

I believe you're right. That's what came to my mind immediately. Aren't there some people protesting outside and he's kind of in the middle since he loves the chicken?

 

[Darksol]

So long as my hands are symmetrical, so too shall be my controllers.

 

[AstuteClass]

Never understood the fascination with the asymmetrical thumbsticks when our hands are symmetrical.

Yup. The Palestinians that make good chicken and are great in bed versus the Jews.

What's awkward about the DS4?

 

[davepoobond]

Need flash they aren't.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I don't think there is a need for these controllers anymore IMO. I personally hated the DS3 but the wider grip and concave sticks are perfectly fine for gaming now. I've been going back and forth between the 360pad and DS4 and don't mind at all.

 

[iamvin22]

 

[xkramz]

 

[Dereck]

Every time

 

[purpletentacle]

which one?

this one?

 

[Stimpack]

Doesnt look that bad.. If the official DS4 looked like that yall would be loving it.

lol, you should listen to yourself some time.

If you hold a 360 controller and are playing FPS the most comfortable motion of your thumbs correspond to the movement assigned to each stick. Your left thumb just has to push up and your right thumb moves laterally to move the camera. On symetrical sticks your left thumb is sideways pushing up instead of vertical pushing up which is more natural.

 

[The Cowboy]

It just looks to me like it was originally just a PS3 pad and they said, "sod it, lets just add a toggle to make it work with PS4" without bothering to add all the PS4 pads features.

Why only left? Why not both? If you love "natural position" Start praising nintendo

 

[ultratruman]

please kill me

 

[Joeki11a]

Hori are going to bring Xbox one control to ps4?

 

[outunderthestars]

No. This looks like something you would buy for $10 at a flea market.

 

[Macapala]

That's an ugly controller.

So is the DS4. What's your point?

 

[Radec]

Such a huge downgrade even if you like the asymmetrical layout.

 

[Pryce]

Nah...

 

[bananas]

 

[Goodacre0081]

Hori shit that's ugly

 

[Slixshot]

lol did you make this?

 

[outunderthestars]

[JetBlackPanda]

ANALOG.

Hori shit that's ugly

omg I can't

 

[rudieboy77]

btw I think this thing is ugly and looks cheap and would use the DS4 any day over this. I just see why people would buy a PS controller with this stick layout.

 

[Cerity]

are we going back to the tuff g4mer look now?

 

[Alebrije]

Does this generation (PS4,XBONE) need 3rd party controllers? Sony and Ms controllers are very good.

 

[sn00zer]

lol did you make this?

I did not... but it is perfect for this thread

 

[outunderthestars]

Agreed. Still don't understand why Sony doesn't offer a model with asymmetrical sticks. Seems like it would spur controller sales and generate additional profits.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I wouldn't mind this controller. If it didn't look like something my dog barfed out. After eating black crayons.

I want the analog stick position, but I don't care for anything else this controllers offers/doesn't offer.
