I just hope the final controller doesn't seem as bulky. I'm sorry I'm hung up on how this looks so Logitech-like but that pic from a different angle makes the controller look smaller/thinner.

IGN is reporting the L2/R2 buttons have been changed to be similar to the 360 triggers.

I kicked up the contrast a bit so that you can see a bit more detail.

No way. I prefer the L1 R1 buttons for aim/shoot. Feels more natural to me. That could be just because I don't like the way the shoulder buttons are higher than the triggers on the 360 controller though.

why?

I sincerely hope that this ugly POS isn't the final version. Looks like some cheap ass PC gamepad from the early 2000s.
I'm really loving that new picture of the controller!!
So that's a microphone on the front? I guess everyone will be able to voicechat now, that's pretty cool.
Having a 3.5mm headphone jack should be standard on all 3 consoles. Love that feature on the Wii U!
I'm getting so excited

Man, get the move triggers, and this improvement will have turned out better than I could predict.

oh man I hope those d-pad buttons are spaced out like they are on the current pad.
you should be wanting the d-pad to be like the vita one (which it appears to be in the pictures). trust me.
Best news yet.

I'm not too sure. It's just the controller, and a prototype at that so I don't see this having massive reprocussions.
But we have proof the DS4 exists.

Or so it appears. Via Ashler in the VG247 thread.
Edit:
That looks a lot less bulky than the first picture. Maybe a prototype that's further along?
I like the idea of rounded grips a lot
I actually like this picture a lot the more I look at it. I'd be very happy if this was a somewhat final version of the controller.

Hm. This is also a good point. Didn't think about that!
The light bar will come in handy to track z-axis positioning when VR gaming on PS4 becomes a thing.

They should work on the colors of the buttons. Looks pretty dated.

The problem with the move triggers, or triggers in general, is that it forces your hand into a certain position. I'm sure there is a better solution than the DS3s "triggers" but I don't think I want concave like buttons.
Why would they need to bundle a headset?? it seems that's a microphone in the middle of the controller. Just plug in your headphone jack or use your TV as the output source and everyone will have a mic.
No, Vita d-pad is the best one I've ever felt. Keep it like that
The should be white like the Vita's. Really classy

Looks like CVG's sources are confirming pretty much everything we've concluded from the pics:

neat.
This is my favorite mockup to date:
its a good mockup but very unrealistic. its not a screen on the controller, only a touchpad.
Internal speaker? so no mic? That's a shame. Can't think of a reason to have a speaker on the controller (except Wii U since it has a screen)

Oh man, they've increased the length and bulk of the handles. This makes me VERY happy. That combined with what looks to be improved analogue sticks and reports of proper triggers and I'm a happy camper. I've been moaning about the stick placement but it's starting to look like that'll be my only complaint.
Looks kind of GameCubey if anything, and that's a good thing.
Yeah we know that. That mockup was just a spin-off of a PC-touchpad someone linked earlier today.
Wow really?

no its not. that would make for a terrible mic lol.

Oh God, it's happening!
I guess I prefer a terrible mic over a terrible speaker, if the Wii remote speaker is to take as an example.

They wont have to bundle a headset if that controller has a built in Mic AND Speaker where you can hear people and talk through the controller. You could still use your own headset if you like, but people who do not have an alternate headset could simply use the controller.
We know SplitShock is fake.

Those images already circulated on GAF yesterday and everyone laughed at them.
Absolutely.
I agree with this. The colors definitely look outdated. More intense, saturated colors would be cool. I guess more neon looking. Or even plain white would be better, I think.
But, that is a small quibble on what otherwise looks like a great controller. i'm hoping that built in speaker is of a decent quality.

How can a colour be dated?
I think they are fine as is. I do not understand the concept that a colour is dated lol.

Concave sticks and larger, makes me wonder why they moved away from the original DualAnalog design, as it had both things.
I like the fact that DS3 analog sticks were convex. Concave analog for PS4 will make it much harder when aiming. Think about it, you want as little resistance as possible when turning the sticks up for example. When you have concave sticks you have to "dig" into the sticks with the thumbs rather than just push the sticks upwards. It's a subtle difference but it's there. That's just my personal opinion.

Should've gone the way of the Vita. So classy and beautiful
they need to move it away from your thumbs.
