Or so it appears. Via Ashler in the VG247 thread.

Update: Another source has told IGN that the mysterious space in the middle of the controller can be pressed like a button, something Kotaku's source has also stated. Our separate source also indicates that the R2 and L2 buttons may actually be more in line with spring-loaded Xbox 360-like triggers and that the light atop the controller is indeed a PlayStation Move sensor. http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/...-4s-controller

Things to note - this very likely isn't a final design even if it represents final functionality. Sony has been experimenting with various prototypes, apparently.

edit 2 - infinityBCRT suggests looking at the black rectangles either side of the dev kit. Suggests they might be camera lenses, providing the functionality of the rumoured stereo depth camera?

looks like that mockup someone here did.

[Cake Boss]

MAKES ME SO HAAARDDD!!1

[Matts Legacy]

It's Happening!!!!

[CheesecakeRecipe]

VMU bringin the sexy back

[som]

Controller looks meh...I hope the change it.

[bigboss370]

looks almost exactly like that one gaf mockup.

[BattleMoose87]

Looks like a cheap third party pad.

[Bumhead]

I'm getting Mad Catz flashbacks.

*shudder*

[Man]

Light emitter for PSEye(s) to detect.
My first thought is that the touchpad is way too small.
If that is the real thing then I doubt it's close to final design.

[Aquamarine]

IT BEGINS.

[SwiftSketcher]

Damn, boomerang control shafted again!

[Pai Pai Master]

Looks like a Vita style d-pad. YES.

[Cerrius]

[Derrick01]

Hopefully the real controller is a bit less bulky looking than that. The top where the shoulder buttons are looks pretty bad.

[GoddyofAus]

As I said in the Vg247 thread, that thing is ugly as sin and looks uncomfortable as well. Those sticks....Ugh.

[SmokyDave]

Paint it matt black and sell it me as is.

Not sure about the pad though, looks a bit... off. Is that a speaker grille under the touchpad?

[Imm0rt4l]

Oh snap

[darkwing]

the devkit is fugly

[razgriz417]

I'm getting Mad Catz flashbacks. *shudder*

this

[tirant]

Looks very cheap.

[SunhiLegend]

Controller needs to lose some weight.

[Zoramon089]

It's an ugly looking controller for sure

[batbeg]

Looks ugly, but I'm more interested in the feels.

[SolidSnakex]

Looks like an early version of the controller. Especially with the lack of Sony branding.

[BroBuzz]

Looks nice. Little bulkier than the DS3 from the looks of it though.

[vagabondarts]

Sony leaks still happening.... All is right with the world.

I like it. The analog sticks look weird though

[HoodWinked]

LOL

[MRORANGE]

Woah!

[Gustav]

Looks like a PS controller alright.

[funkystudent]

Looks unfinished.

Like a quick work in progress shell to see what devs think. I am sure that isnt the final design.


If they make it look a bit nicer I think I would be ok with that. More space between the sticks and bigger grips = me a happy boy.

[Violater]

Gross.
What the hell indeed.

[Lasthope106]

[Jarmel]

Looks ugly. Where are the start and select buttons?

[LiK]

I see the touch

[Izick]

Probably not the final design but looks pretty solid.

[Fancy Corndog]

Damn, that's looking pretty good. I'd like to see the triggers though.

[Totobeni]

a bigger version of Vita's D-pad???

HELL YESSS

[jbug617]

it looks thick

[Afrodium]

Gaf is about to freak the fuck out over the aesthetics of a prototype controller.

[Guevara]

chunky

[plagiarize]

ergonomics look improved, thank god. stick grips are better too. let's see those triggers!

[Ashler]

Hi mom?!

I would be happy with that design.

[Inorigo]

Concave sticks?! Yes! Here's hoping for actual triggers, too.

[Mushroomer25]

Looks legit enough.

[Wynnebeck]

Holy shit! If they slim it down and keep everything I'm seeing in that picture on it, I've got no problems. ARRGHHHH! 6 MORE DAYSSSSSSS

[THE:MILKMAN]

Forget the controller, look at the dev kit. If legit, that looks like a all aluminium case! Reminds me of high end hifi.

[CountAntonius]

Have they figured out how to make triggers yet?

[Zombie James]

Built-in speaker looks really out of place, but looks fine other than that. Concave analog sticks, finally.

[Lord-Audie]

interesting.

Looks very bulky... hopefully not final.
