But that's what I'm asking... what is the point then? I hope this isn't for the sixaxis crap, so gimmicky.
Care to explain yourself a bit better?
I dont understand how useful would it be to track a dual handed controler.
Why would they put the mic in the controller? It's going to pick up squeaking sticks and loud button presses.

Resistive is fine at that size and with the described functionality. If its just for friends lists, swapping apps etc. then there won't be need for zooming or anything like thatSounds like he's misinformed. I don't see a screen at all, and there's no way Sony would go with a resistive touch screen.
If it really is resistive, that'll be awesome. If not, then oh well, I guess.
Idk why people are complaining about the possibility of a resistive touch screen.
Far more convenient, and useful than a touch panel.
Imagine editing shared video and such on that thing.
Who the hell (well besides Nintendo, who are 7 years late) uses resistive screens in 2013? They suck.
I just don't think they would use a resistive screen in 2013. This controller isn't the final finished product anyway.Who the hell (well besides Nintendo, who are 7 years late) uses resistive screens in 2013? They suck.
The resistive touch screens I have used are more accurate than capacitative.

This is what the leaker of the second next gen Dualshock pic had to say, has this been posted?
The triggers are much more similar to the Xbox 360 'springy' triggers. That's a microphone (similar to VITA, Wii U) and that is also a headset port. Touch screen is resistive display, single touch, used for battery levels, friend lists, mini u.i blah blah. Taken a while ago, only had access to it via someone else.
So it's not a touchpad, but a resistive touch screen? I'm game.

If the screen is only for menus I don't really care how high quality it is.
I'm actually happier with a cheap low function screen than a Wii U type of screen that devs will feel obligated to force into gameplay.

The most obvious use on a two handed controller is pointing. In Killzone 4 I bet you can aim the controller to get headshots just like gyro aiming in U:GA.
Is it good for fighting games? This is what I'm wondering the most. It looks like a large version of the vita dpad. As long as its ergonomic and responsive, I'm gamei see dat delicious vita d-pad
Tilt levels in things like Mutant blobs and lbp too.
Could see some potential for camera control aswel. As in left stick - move, gyro/motion - camera view, which leaves all buttons more accessible instead of having to move from right stick to buttons and back.
Also if it has move capabilities. Imagine using a sniper and pressing L1 to look through the scope, then you just move the controller for aim. That would be awesome and more responsive then using analog sticks.
I just hope they include a keyboard on the controller. If its a touchpad, have a glowing qwerty on it when you want to chat. If its a touchscreen, it should be simple to add.

Lets say thats a mini screen.
1. im playing a game. The screen allows me to skip, pause, etc. my music without breaking gameplay.
2. Watching a movie. I can pause, rewind, etc.
3. Battery level, friends list, messages received.
4. maybe link your phone to your ps4 via wifi? Will display texts, incoming calls? No idea if this is possible.
5. Playing a psn game? Press the disc icon and launch whatever is in the tray.
6. Scroll through your psn games and launch from there.
7. In a psn chatroom with your friends? What they are writing is constantly updated on your controller.
These are things just off the top of my head.
Heard a new rumor about the PS4 gamepad from someone who works for a big developer who claims to have examined it:
1. PS Move tech built in
2. Has a trackpad in the middle
3. Controller ID shown in color (did not understand what this meant, waiting for clarification, either means multicolor LED's or a led display)
My insider is saying:
1. They have tried putting the move colored balls on the DS4 but the latest design omits them.
2. The multicolor led thing is more like the controller edge having a led strip and glowing a different color for more immersion.
3. PS4's will come with a camera bundled.
I love this design, put a LCD in it Sony even a low-res LCD.

that wouldn't surprise me... that rectangular shape is not optimal for move functions at all, it looks like something designed by someone having more design concerns than practical experience in computer vision...
What shape is the Wii "sensor" bar?
