PS4 Controller - Dualshock 4 Unveilved
- Thread starter iNvid02
- Start date
They appear to be at least 2 centimeters further apart than before, and even before I've never heard of this problem. Do you have marshmallow thumbs or something?
Did this happen with Move? Seems to be the same kind of light but I've never tried Move.

As a whole, not terribly pleasing to the eye but it looks like it's likely much more comfortable in the hands, and I like the potential of the new features. And unlike with the change to the Wiimote, you can still have a fully traditional controller even if devs ignore the touch, motion and share features (which, again, I like the potential of).

So that leaked picture was true.
I'm sorry, but this controller looks ugly.
It doesn't look comfortable to hold due to those short, chubby handles.
The dpad though looks a bit more comfortable to use than te PS1/2/3 one.
The R2/L2 triggers look way better than on PS3 though.
I'll wait and see, though. Maybe it'll get some changes till release.

I like it. Analog sticks look better than on DS3, still iffy on the triggers though.
^My first thought.
Can't wait to get this in my hands. Looks like it should feel awesome.

that track pad is such an afterthought. you cant reach it with your thumbs. so that means holding the controller with one hand with the other hand hovering over it. too small to use without having to look down at your controller which is especially bad when the relevant screen is in front of you.
thinking about the usability reminds me of the backtouch on the vita a poorly thought out feature.
tho moving away from the old dual shock shape is a good choice. the share and options buttons might be too close to your primary inputs especially considering pressing these buttons will likely bring up the console OS.
the concave analogs also a good change, looks pretty similar to the silver 360 controllers.

They're as long as the 360's now, maybe even a slight bit longer.

I love the controller (minus the left analog placement of course). My favorite thing is the headphone jack on the controller. I have wanted that for so damn long now!

I really like the new controller. It's a bit odd-looking at first, but the new features are nice, and it's about time the DualShock got an improved design. The increased size and the reshaped thumbsticks are definitely for the better. Can't wait to hold one of these in my hands.
EDIT: I do think it could do without the glossy surfaces around the d-pad and main buttons, however...

Its ugly. Real ugly. Worse than the old Playstation controllers which were already very bland.
But proper triggers should make it a big improvement, functionality-wise.
Still, kinda disappointing. This was their chance to get on par with the Xbox controller, but they dropped it.

I did not how it looks at first but now its looking good as hell. Not specfically the dpad or anything but as a whole it looks great. Makes me want to hold it.
Loving the two toned look, hopefully a sign at the actual console design.
I can cover the Sony logo on the DS3 with my thumbs just fine with stretching room to spare, I can't see why the touchpad is much different than hitting start or select, I doubt they will be using the touchpad for complicated actions.

It seems like it'd be great to hold but Christ, it's as ugly as fuck.

Can't really say much about the rest of the controller but I love those grips. They look really big and long so my hands can fit comfortably on it while playing. The D-Pad looks really awkward with that indent in the middle. I still don't understand that touch pad in the middle because it looks so small, the only function i can see for it is tapping. The share button is still amazing to me.
I give the controller a 7.5/10
If that D-Pad wasn't pushed in the middle, and that touchscreen wasn't there then I would've 100% accepted this controller.

- Don't mind the touchpad, like that it's also a button.
- Triggers look nice.
- The handles seem longer. Love that.
- Headphone jack's a really nice touch.
- Like that it has move built in. I hope this'll make developers utilize it in productive ways in core games.
I was really tired of the DualShock and was hoping they'd completely deviate from it, but I'm really liking this. Also, are the holes on the front just a speaker or also a mic?

The controller looks glorious judging by the pictures added in the OP.
Of all the things shown at the meeting, this was what disappointed me the most. It's just horribly ugly, like some clumsy patchwork quilt of technology. I mean, for a presentation that stresses simplicity and 'elegance' and then shows this thing? It's a real and unnecessary disconnect.

theres a difference, the ps/xbox button are by design supposed to be difficult in accessibility because its for quitting and less non gaming functions since they disrupt gaming.
the touchpad seems to be something they want to use ingame (they wouldn't devote that much space on the controller and cost in parts otherwise)

Looks better than the Boomerang Controller!

Triggers need to be wider. I can imagine them getting crushed by my many hours of playing arcade racers.

So does the control have biofeedback? It looks like the back end is different.

Do we know if the PS4 eye is packed in?
We can only hope.

Gripped, for your pleasure?
