Do you have a 360 controller comparison?

Aha so that extra bulk at the top is indeed a ledge/finger rest like on the WiiU pad. Hope that makes it to the final...that thing is comfy as hell

To illustrate what I just said:
Doesn't look like it. The handles are more elongated. Might be a different prototype.

I just want to apologise to everyone for making that "Used Game" gif. I didn't expect it to get posted everywhere so much.
Anyway, I was hoping for it to have finger grooves. Like the EA Sports Grips I have on my DS3. They feel great.

Looks like they slope downward again? :-/
I think that's just the back of the controller having a "shelf" that slopes down, not necessarily the triggers.

I judge by the shadow, it seem didn't match well with your arrow label.
Nice, I tweeted directly at Dale North (Destructoid) about the new pic, he posted it and is now following my preachings on Twitter. More fool him

I think several people have said that the triggers are fixed. At this rate I expect a new image before the reveal anyway.

The changes to the D-Pad, grooved sticks, and thicker handles are enough to satisfy me. Changes that should have happened years ago.

I thought that too but...shouldn't we at least see a part of the triggers then? Something like this:

Looks like a headphone jack under the PS button
Sony patents alot of stuff most go unused.

Looks like a vast improvement to me... as if Sony actually took human hands somewhat into consideration with the design of the new controller.

Lets see how much controller noise that mic picks up. I don't want to hear a bunch of buttons being mashed and analog sticks squeaking.

Is that a headphone jack coming out of the bottom of the controller? That is one of the best features of the Wii U. Even without off screen play, it's so nice to have the easy option for enjoying console games with headphones.
I like it. I like the new curves. Not a severe departure from the DS - but losing the angular design for (what appears to be) a more comfortable, slightly beefier grip is a bonus.
Of course this is just how I perceive these changes. I will have to wait until one is in my hands to pass final judgement. Right now I am liking it. That could change when I hold one tho.

Wii U Pro Controller from a similar angle, can't really see the triggers here either.

I wonder if the R2/L2 triggers are not on the same plane as the R1/L1 buttons. Maybe recessed a little which would for me at least feel more comfortable.

Why did everyone quote the other picture? Take a looks at this:

If this controller pans out.. damn, Sony really did listen to it's fans. Good on 'em.
Yeah, that would make sense if the triggers were more like the 360's.

I really hope we can buy a controller without the move light on the top. I hate LED's in a dark room. It's very distracting for me, especially for something I'm holding.

Doing God's work there. I hope you know that.

Damn, got one more thing. The handles are longer, exactly because now there's another button in the back!
Prolly!
God uses Google Image search and puts stuff on imgur? :lol

Wow that controller is so high-tech. It's like something out of a Gibson novel. Can't wait for PS4 reveal in 5 days! (the dev kit is HUGE!)

Just an observation on the Rectangle shape of the Move bar on the DS4.
The rectangle shape will allow the camera(s) to observe rotation on the X and Y-axis a lot easier. Most useful for driving or racing games.
I just hope I can hook up my G27 racing wheel to the PS4.

Is the TV distracting, too? I mean... that's fairly bright for a dark room
OK I kid, I kid.
I can't even see my phone light up in my lap when I'm playing - and that's a 4" screen facing up - not just a small light facing away from you (I hope you don't play with the controller backwards).
I can't see it being an issue, personally. If you play in the dark (I do) the light from your TV will be bright enough to drown out anything in your periphery.
I'm sure it'll be off if you're not playing with the motion controls "on"

Exactly, it's just a matter of design. What really looks dated on the ds3 buttons are the buttons themselves. I bet that some glass looking buttons (as in Vita's) with the classic coloured shapes would look fantastic, or at least not as dated as the actual ones.
Anyway, I sincerely hope the final pad will have that bossy "screen-pad" as the one in the mock-up the fellow gaffer made.
i think the ds3 buttons look great, but more importantly FEEL great
the vita buttons are serviceable...but they're really not that great

My guess ( and hope) is that the led is only on when playing a game that uses it. I believe that is how the current move controller works. And if game use it for optional control input, hopefully it will turn off if you disable it.

Both good points. I'm sure it won't be a problem. I'm just happy they fixed the controller with the triggers, etc.
Very hyped for the 20th and the PS4 itself.

Unlikely. But my mind would be fucking blown if Kaz is holding this thing up on stage, then breaks it in half and starts playing fucking Sports Champions 3.
