Looks like a couple buttons moved. One by the dpad and one between the Analogue Sticks.

Not sure what to think of it yet, but will reserve judgement until I see a final version.

Lagspike_exe · Feb 14, 2013

I don't like it at all. I hope the final version looks better.

Fox_Mulder · Feb 14, 2013

I wouldn't ask for more!

Tiktaalik · Feb 14, 2013

Looks like a legit Wii dev kit on top of it.

Looks like Vita Dpad

No clue, no point even worth speculating as it could be the share button or just something for the devs only.

CREMSteve · Feb 14, 2013

I like that the sticks are designed so my fingers won't slide off of them, but retain the convex shape, nice compromise for the two factions that argue concave/convex.

What is that in the center? Is it a microphone, lord I hope not. That's all I need while playing, is to listen to click, clack, click, clack of people's controllers coming through my headphones. That's almost as bad of an idea as using a camera mounted right below a TV's speakers as your primary microphone.

There's one on the other side too. Start and Select buttons are my guess.

It does.

I can't even tell what I'm looking at with this picture, shape wise. Honestly, I must be having a brain meltdown right now or something.

Dug · Feb 14, 2013

I don't hate it but I don't love it either. The analog sticks look odd.

It's below the PS button.

The Abominable Snowman · Feb 14, 2013

Looks awesome to me.

Should also allow for pointer controls akin to the Sony Android TV. Not quite like the Wii but close enough.

It literally includes every controller option I wanted in a controller. Awesome, Sony. Awesome.

GoddyofAus · Feb 14, 2013

It looks to me like Japan has already dragged this one onto the whaling ship.

BruiserBear · Feb 14, 2013

That touchpad is going to be so worthless.

EscoBlades · Feb 14, 2013

Looks like where the Start and Select buttons might now be.

Rootbeer · Feb 14, 2013

not sold on having a touch pad on there. seriously, even on my Wii U when scrolling around i use the right analog stick, it's more precise and you don't have to worry about finger friction which happens if it's even the slightest bit smudged.

The vita hasn't managed to demonstrate compelling uses of touch in games (back *or* front IMO, save in a few very rare cases) and I'm not convinced this will either. Every time I'm forced to use touch I just wish I could use a button input somehow instead.

A little off topic but..

DAMN the Vita is sexy in that photo.

Big news here if that's the actual PS4 devkit (you know, for collecting purposes).

And goddamn, some people here need to recognize what's a prototype and what isn't. With that said, I don't see a big advatage to put a touchpad on there because of the thumb's ratio, but I do hope I'm wrong.

It's actually pretty small if it's the devkit. At least compared to the monster that is the PS3 kit

Router · Feb 14, 2013

I like the rounder, bulkier design. Concave sticks = yes. Still symmetrical layout but the sticks seem further apart which is nice.

So is that a speaker or a mic on the bottom of the controller?

also, that light bar on the top... So the controller can function like the move controller too?

TREX · Feb 14, 2013

A little bit fatter, move-function, mic..."touch pad"...
I like it!

The Elite · Feb 14, 2013

Magic Dev button maybe. Might be something that will be missing in the final build as it looks out of place.

Yea I couldn't make out the button on the right hand side. Definitely Start and Select buttons.

Z3M0G · Feb 14, 2013

PS Move tech built right into the controller (glowing blu area on the top). I imagined what this would be like some time ago... I think I'm happy to see that!

++++This.... Perfect for shooters right there.... just a subtle rim to them.

.la1n · Feb 14, 2013

Glad they are sticking with the basic dual shock design, I am happy with it as is. Sony learned from the boomerang backlash.

Resistance100 · Feb 14, 2013

Love the Vita D-Pad. Not too sure whats going on with the Move light but with it being there at least we can forget about it in time. I expect the final version to be nice and slim.

Now the ball is rolling =D

Man-is-Obsolete · Feb 14, 2013

It is definitely a prototype and looks like it is a revision or 2 from completion, but I hope the vita dpad and concave triggers make the final build.

Dark Octave · Feb 14, 2013

I expected the touch pad to be taller and I'm a little surprised by the stick changes and thickness of the controller all around.

Violater · Feb 14, 2013

Exactly

Kagari · Feb 14, 2013

This is definitely a prototype - not the final version, but could be close.

It looks to me like the logo under the touchscreen is another button as well.

Anticitizen One · Feb 14, 2013

They need to get rid of those slippery trigger R2 and L2 buttons and go back to the regular kind on the ps2 controller

CorrisD · Feb 14, 2013

So what is the little bump underneath the analogs and controller, headset socket?

DeuceGamer said:

Isn't that just the same playstation button we have already just further down?

Paznos · Feb 14, 2013

Is that a headset jack at the bottom of the controller?

BruceLeeRoy · Feb 14, 2013

This looks much closer to a 360 pad and since that is by far my favorite controller I am pretty stoked with this. It looks much more comfortable ergonomically

The Elite · Feb 14, 2013

leroidys said:
Select

Why we still got Select?

The Nature Roy · Feb 14, 2013

Looks like something of an improvement ergonomically, but still quite poor in that regard. Hopefully looks are deceiving. Actually, hopefully this is just a mockup that won't be indicative of the final shape.

Takuya · Feb 14, 2013

Headphone jack of some sort?

slightconfuse · Feb 14, 2013

im guessing the SHARE button is on the screen and not a dedicated button
