Who cares about that? I finally get a damn controller worth a damn for FPS. I'm all for it. Let me bind spot to select and it's good for BF4. Mmm... yes.

Both the DS4 and 720's pad are pretty awful after coming from the 360 pad. They both do things wrong.

Ive used all of them.. PS3, Ps4, 360, XB1, Wii U Tab, Wii U Pro... your opinion is only an opinion. The DS4 is fantastic (also an opinion)

 

[Skilletor]

Hello, ps4 mod for my arcade sticks.

 

[Ominym]

I prefer asymertical stick layout (and inverted look, come at me haters.) But that controller looks like shit. The Dualshock 4 blows it away.

Inverted Y forever.

 

[dragonbane]

There. Now stop complaining about the (superior) layout!

 

[DryvBy]

This x 1000.

 

[The Cowboy]

Strangely reminded me of the RE2 controller which I had completely forgotten about until this moment:
They don't even look alike. What gives, brain. I suppose they're both hideous.

Edit: Apologies, didn't realise the sheer size of that image until now.

Just put quote tags around the image tags matey, it will make it a small pic until clicked then.

Like so.

 

[dragonbane]

Both features that a very limited amount of ps3 games utilize. For a majority of ps3 games, these omissions will not have any effect.

True. But make sure to look at the list of exceptions. Uncharted 1, Beyond, Flower, Heavy Rain and The Last of Us (flashlight) come to mind.

 

[d0nd]

nah....

 

[FaintColt388301]

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

Hahaha. If that was the official controller I'd buy an Xbox One

Spoiler

Hyperbole. But seriously. Nobody would love something that ugly

 

[SnakeEyes]

Haha, that looks ugly as sin. Kill it with fire.

 

[PAULINK]

Yeah, i'm aware. Going to import one anyways, even if it's pretty limited for ps4 sake. Can't wait to have a decent asymmetrical stick for the ps3.

 

[Badlucktroll]

I bet Sony put the touchpad on the Ps4 controller so 3rd party companies will have a hard time getting the controllers on the market, same with the light bar. Sony needs to sell alot of these controllers, and they made it hard, so people will only have the official Ps4 controller as an option.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Which episode of Curb is that from?

Palestinian Chicken. Arguably the best Curb episode ever. PEACE.

 

[Narcosis]

They seriously made a PS4 controller with no touchpad?!

LOLWUT

 

[Nothavingit]

 

[SeventhSon]

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..

You are correct.

 

[BurnOutBrighter]

The handles are way too small.

 

[Ilúvatar]

Don't understand the obsession with asymmetrical sticks. Does not feel right or good.

Both the DS4 and 720's pad are pretty awful after coming from the 360 pad. They both do things wrong.

The only controller worth a damn for an FPS is a mouse and keyboard. DS4 is second.

 

[Lucent]

every day since launch playing bf4 & cod...still flawless

Same. Not those games, but mine still hasn't chipped or deteriorated at all. The one at my Best Buy's PS4 kiosk is torn up though. They must've gotten a faulty one. The left stick is much more worn out than the other. Almost gone. Makes sense though since left stick is movement.

 

[kittens]

I used to think asymmetrical sticks were important to me, but then I tried the Dualshock 4.

 

[CrackPebbles]

I don't 'get' the asymmetrical stick obsession, but to be fair I ramble on about things I love that most gamers don't give two fucks about anymore like D-Pads and Digital triggers.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

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

Every generation until the end of time will require 3rd party pads.

You think parents easily shell out $60 for another pad? Nah, let's just buy that $30 one instead.

 

[AssassinsEzio]

blasphemy.

 

[Xplatformer]

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...

Nuckle bump.

I hope Power A announces a similar controller at E3.

 

[nded]

Weird that they would just completely ignore the touchpad. What exactly is the purpose of this other than quickly shoving a product out to market to sell to Xbox refugees?

 

[Neuromancer]

I guess that's cool that they made it, for some people, but I'm quite happy with the DS4 as it is.

 

[dofry]

"Hori introduces a ...thing for the PS4. Its got asymmetrical sticks though if you're into that"

I feel sorry for the parents who buy this for their kids, because the ensuing screaming is bad for the ears.

 

[Gxgear]

Asymmetrical, the way God intended your hands to be. Third party peripheral makers are merely acting on His will, albeit poorly. The boomerang shape and protruding shoulder buttons looks worrying.

 

[HORRORSHØW]

i'll take 4

 

[sun-drop]

DS4 already proved it wasn't the placement of the sticks but the shitty quality of the Analog sticks on the DS3 that made it less intuitive to use.

this

 

[Negator]

Man, why can't 3rd parties make a decent controller?

These things are always cheap and crappy. You really do get what you pay for.

 

[MavFan619]

every day since launch playing bf4 & cod...still flawless

Same my sticks are fine but still there do seem to be some bad batches out there. This controller though, not a fan.

 

[Zeppeli]

The best PS3 controller wasn't even a Sony controller. It just worked via dinput even though it was made for PC.

God, the F710 made playing the PS3 a lot more enjoyable.

 

[NinjamicWZ]

Hori, I like you guys and I'm with asymmetrical sticks, but no thanks.

 

[FuriousDark]

It's like a Genesis controller banged a 360 controller.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

U G L Y. I hate the light, but not enough to buy this monstrosity.

 

[sixteen-bit]

looking forward to impressions

 

[OmahaG8]

I am a first party controller elitist and I am not ashamed.

 

[Madness]

I'd probably buy it for FPS if I had a PS4. As for no lightbar, good. As for no Touchpad? Depends. Hasn't really been utilized and I feel it'll be an underused gimmick. Besides, how integral would it be to all the games? Can no one really not play a game without a Touchpad? I wonder what the triggers and sticks are like.

 

[KittyKittyBangBang]

That looks like cheap shit. I guess you would need to feel it, but the DS4 is a pretty sweet controller, I have a hard time believing many people would prefer this to a DS4. I do understand people preferring the asymmetricalsticks, but now that they are farther apart on the DS4 than they were on the DS3, I find it just as enjoyable as a Xbone/360 controller

 

[mattp]

so...is there a button for the trackpad click?
because like every game needs thath

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

Ugly and cheap. No thanks.

 

[Kinyou]

Looks not that bad, but so far have 3rd party controllers always disappointed me.


How about Sony releasing an alternate controller? I'd buy two

 

[Dezzy]

What's with the Analog button? Did they simply reuse a PS2 controller and rename Start and Select to match PS4 Share and Options?

 

[SolsticeZero]

The best PS3 controller wasn't even a Sony controller. It just worked via dinput even though it was made for PC.

God, the F710 made playing the PS3 a lot more enjoyable.

It was a decent controller, but that D-pad was atrocious. Absolutely fucking horrible

 

[NeoGIF]

 

[zeelman]

This will be good for FPS games, but that's about it.

 

[VanWinkle]

This will be good for FPS games, but that's about it.

Except most of them use the touchpad in some way.

 

[SiDCrAzY]

That controller reminds me of this for the PS3:

(That's the PowerA controller for PS3. I actually own one, they aren't too bad surprisingly).

I have this one too, it's alright.
