PS4 Controller - Dualshock 4 Unveilved
- Thread starter iNvid02
- Start date
Bungie as well was approached for DS4 feedback: http://www.gamechup.com/sony-asked-bungies-feedback-on-dualshock-4/
What's wrong with the d-pad? (Genuine question)
still has the classic sony dpad, which i hate for fighting games. makes shoryuken movements terrible. just make it a fully surfaced dpad :I
Fair enough - thought some more detail might have been released regarding the d-pad, hence the question.

Sorry to bump this old thread but I'm looking at that really giant comparison pic and I just noticed the height of the analog sticks on the new controller is lower.
That means "less throw" for lack of a better term on the stick and therefore even more difficult to aim / steer accurately.
I got some racing extention things which I forget the name of which really helped on PS3 - I suspect those may really be needed here.
EDIT: Found em - was called "Kontrolfreak" surprisingly great for a little plastic molding, seriously.
Furthermore, while the trigger action looks improved my little plastic molding PS3 triggers from ebay (also amazing things) won't work on the new one, wonder if they'll be needed.
Finally, the 'handles' look quite thin. I've noticed the PS3 controller is a bit small for me TBH and I'd prefer thicker handles
they used to have these PS2 rubber grips which basically fit around the entire controller, maybe silicon - really great idea (I never tried them) - did anyone? and if so, any comments? Might be needed here too.
EDIT: Animated gif is amazing.
The 4 buttons on the right for main actions, look closer, more accidental presses?
Dpad? Same - look closer
Analogues - look further apart
Definitely some overall ergonomic change.
