It looks like it's transforming into it in this.

No. It looks like the original PSX dual analog with curves instead of angles.

...and the reason why the DS3 pic is mirrored is because...?

Because I'm sure the original pic had the controller facing the other way.

 

[phosphor112]

I just hope that is a touch screen and not a touch pad. I don't need a full RGB screen. Just like one of those 16 color low-res screen for basic icons and soft buttons. Would be great for games and media functionality.

Same, that gif someone made earlier looked fantastic. Just have those blue icons and such, or you can put information like video seek bar or whatever on it.

 

[Boss Man]

The mirror makes it look like it's changing more than it really is. The shape seems like it could be though, it's rounder and less pointed.

lol.

fanboy much?

 

[Codeblew]

That is the left handed version.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Probably to match the orientation of the other two.

 

[ALBOFIGHTER]

I like it. Can anyone tell me if the dpad is the same concept as vita which everyone seems to love? Is it good for fighting games?

 

[Jack_AG]

lol.

fanboy much?

The original PSX dual analog had longer grips and concave analogs. This looks like that controller but not as angular. Not hard to see, man:

The DS2 shortened the grips and started using convex analogs.

I'm very far from a fanboy, kid. But whatever helps you sleep at night

 

[nib95]

...and the reason why the DS3 pic is mirrored is because...?

Couldn't find a pic of the controller the right angle the right way, so I just horizontally flipped it lol.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

It was never the accuracy of the motion control on the Dualshock that bothered me, it was the naturalness of holding a controller in both hands to try and achieve what the Wii or MOVE could. It's just NOT a good shape for that type of activity.

about the comparison picture: If you look closely at the picture, you will get an idea of how big the triggers are. Look at the shadowing. The triggers are elongated. The handles also appear to be thicker towards their ends, almost like they're stepped.

Oh I thought you meant in general. I think it will rival the wand technically, but isn't meant to be swung around and what not. Actions and gestures will be catered to it's form factor. Ie: turning handles like in killzone, flying ships, and other things sixaxis was meant for but wasn't technically good enough to do well. I'm very excited.

I hope there are upgraded move wands too though, but they might get backlash like Nintendo did with motion plus.

I wish people would stop using this.

I wish people would stop making assumptions. When they start acting like adults - I'll start treating them like adults, junior.

Perhaps I jumped to conclusions, I'm quite aware of that pad (tis more comfortable dual DS).

I thought I had just witnessed the birth of the next line of fanboy justification for Sony being a little like Microsoft...

 

[Wishmaster92]

I think the white ones look even better.

[/QUOTE]

YES, those buttons look perfect.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

There is something protruding from the controller in the back... Second set of analogs confirmed!

i just took that to be where the triggers turn back out again to offer more grip

 

[The Albatross]

I never figured out why there was a button to turn Analog on/off on the original dual shock..

 

[Insane Metal]

To illustrate what I just said:

Actually, L1, R1, L2 and R2 as they were on the DS2.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Perfect buttons would be clicky buttons. Then it would be pretty much perfect.

 

[Iacobellis]

For PS1 games that only used the D-Pad.

Looking at your post history - you like labeling people as fanboys... you do it quite a bit. I'm sure some are justifiable - but you need to chillax. Not everyone is a fanboy, champ.

Edit:
With this - I am done with this conversation.

 

[Orayn]

I'd settle for wonderfully snappy traditional face buttons, like the Classic Controller (Pro).

 

[Totobeni]

its shape look like Logitech PS2 controller,which is pretty good.

face buttons need to stay analogue.

 

[AstroNut325]

I would pay extra money for that! Honestly... I would. Soft buttons on a DS controller = perfection!

 

[velociraptor]

Pressure sensitive buttons are the best thing about the DS3.

360 face buttons feel like absolute crap.

 

[MikeE21286]

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

monochrome like the Vita would be very nice.

 

[Dan]

I'm puzzled by why you would need a Move sensor on the regular controller.

 

[velociraptor]

The PS2/PS3 controller's X, O, triangle, and square buttons were analogue (layman's terms: pressure sensitive) like the triggers. Some older games used these, particularly MGS3 where lightly pressing one of the face buttons was a chokehold but strongly pressing it was a throat slit. I remember this because I had a bitch of a time adjusting when I first figured that out, haha.

Honestly, if they can the pressure sensitive buttons, my jimmies will be rustled.

 

[sn00zer]

Looks weird....im sure it will feel good, but that seems like a lot of stuff it does

-Rumble
-Touch Pad
-Speaker (w/ headphone jack)
-Move (how the heck do you hold the controller to take advantage of the move capabilities?)
-????

 

[exYle]

I think it looks great. In fact, I think it looks superb. Duelshock needed to die.

 

[Zabka]

I got one of those original japanese dual analogs to play Rally Cross with years ago. It was badass.

 

[Orayn]

Pressure sensitive buttons are the best thing about the DS3.

360 face buttons feel like absolute crap.

The pressure sensitivity on DualShock buttons is achieved by a paper-thin overlay that measures force, which doesn't really have any effect on the way the buttons feel. That just has to do with the design of the silicon dome that completes the circuit for each button and pops back up when it's released. What people dislike about the 360 buttons is usually related to them having a longer travel distance and not returning to their neutral position as quickly, since they require less force to hold down.

 

[Dinskugga]

I think this looks quite nice.

 

[Zombie James]

No more analog face buttons?

You want to use

 

[Curufinwe]

I much prefer the digital buttons on the Dual Shock 1 that respond instantly to a slight touch. I own no PS3 games where analog buttons made the game better.

 

[chubigans]

Wonder if rumble is going to be evolved any. There's some nifty new rumble tech and I wish MS or Sony would try something new.

 

[Live Free or Die]

With the PS4 announcement coming up, I take it there will be no more feature firmware updates for the PS3 anymore?

 

[Jack_AG]

I just feel rumble should be used less often and for more impact at key times and not just the usual mess.

You could easily own no games that used the analog buttons

 

[Mista Koo]

Should've gone the way of the Vita. So classy and beautiful

The problem is with the finish rather than the colors.
The colors shouldn't go anywhere, they are unique and iconic.

 

[Violater]

Good thing its just a touch pad, bc a touch screen would prob be too expensive and delicate.

 

[timkunedo]

controller looks so awesome. I'm hyped!!!!!!

 

[EvB]

I actually think they are a bit retro now to be honest, when i watched the 20th teaser video, it just made me feel all old.
Tis a bit 90's

 

[Loudninja]

I am sure they will still sell the Move controller.

But this way very console has basic move tech.

 

[Curufinwe]

Well I own a lot good PS3 games so if analog buttons are hardly used, it shouldn't be a big deal if we go back to digital.

 

[TimeEffect]

Loving the angled sticks. Where is the options and share button? Gusssing the start button can be put on the touchpad leaving tons of room for more input options, which is excellent

Really hope triggers are changed to move styled

 

[Sid]

For what purpose?

 

[WolfForager]

After seeing the second picture, I'm convinced I will like this controller.

 

[Loudninja]

Options.

 

[Sid]

Options.

I hope it stays that way,that KZ sixaxis (doors) implementation sucks ass.
