Destructoid: PS4 controller prototype & devkit photo, [Up: New Photo/Info In OP]
- Thread starter gofreak

You honestly think that could happen here? People will worry over everything similar to the Boomerang controller even before we saw hands-on of it and they all have their own ideas of what makes the perfect controller and think that their opinions are fact. Combine that with the people that have already enlisted in an army for the Console Wars and there's always going to be a lot of worrying...lol
At least we know how the DS feels in our hands so people know if they like it or not. Not sure why so many people thought they were going to move the stick just because they like it more as if no one likes the current position. I have big hands so I find both consoles' controller comfortable in a lot of ways but I still prefer my DS3 personally. That doesn't make it a fact that it's better though like some proclaim.

So what the problem with DS3? I keep it in that way and have no problem that every one complaining about, like bad L2/R2 triggers, thumbs bitching each other, or it is too small.

I'm sorry, what now?
Once Sony learns how to design one, I'll get right on it.
That is a sexy ass controller, first time seeing it.
Hahaha that's amazing.

Things.
Also: The touchpad isn't necessarily something you'd want to use 'instead' or at the same time as the analog sticks while playing...
I would see it as a complimentary addition to the available inputs.
Assuming the new controller has a touchpad, of course. ;-)

I'm sorry but that's sort of hilarious to think about. I think you may be doing it wrong. Either that or you have ginormous thumbs.

Lots of games require using both at the same time.

Pretty sure the baby stops crying because its hard to audibly cry with a nipple or bottle in your mouth. I don't think you'll hear any less complaining about consoles/controllers if people still think the design isn't that great. Doesn't mean they won't buy it, but it also doesn't mean they'll like all aspects of it.

I'm just trying to give an idea of the range I will have using the pad while gripped with two hands. While using the pad regularly, with two hands, as I do for most games. The most I expect to be able to do with this touch pad is tap on it with each thumb. Which is pretty much what I can do but clicking in on the thumb sticks or pushing any of the 4 face buttons (or the start/select buttons if they were even used).
Sure there might be some new possibilities to use the touch pad in interesting ways while holding the controller one handed and using an index finger to swipe around. But it feels like the controller is just adding me too features that won't benefit in regular games. I'm still having to take my thumb off the stick or d-pad to interact with the touch pad which I assume will be quite limited. I just see it as controller bloat.

This picture makes me miss Wollan. It's a shame he won't be around for the 20th.

When the right thumb goes right and the left thumb goes left, they get to meet each other head on.
Dude.
OH FUCK, I just realized something. What if the light on top of the controller functions similarly to the blue orbs on the move controllers. Could this mean that the controller would be used in conjunction with the cameras in some way?
But yes, that's what we've been talking about. There's no doubt about it's purpose.
Like graphichorse said I seriously think that the camera is basically Leapmotion.

Instead of relying on a touch screen, it will be an eyetoy/leapmotion hybrid.

This thread is delivering.

I cannot hold it like this and feel comfortable. I have my index fingers on the R1/L1 and then middle fingers under the back of the pad alongsie the other two fingers.

I'm sure the light won't be on by default. It isn't for Move titles that don't use optical tracking. Or the XMB.
and honestly it's not an issue, sitting in front of a glowing 50" screen.

Lots of games require both the dpad and touch screen? How do you know this already.

I know. I'm saying it anyway though.
You win.
You realize he said OnLive and you posted OUYA? Right?

I have large hands.
I've had to sell guitars before because their string spacing was small enough that it made playing difficult.

I really don't like this touch pad thing, it seems so useless. A real touch screen would be so much better. It could be very handy to type text, view your download, trophies, friend list, etc... But a touch pad? Outside of poorly emulating a mouse, I really don't see the use. And with a placement like that, it wouldn't even work well as a mouse replacement for shooters. A touch screen would cost a lot more though, and people would bitch because it's a Wii U ripp off.

Same here, I don't know how anyone can hold the DS3 like in that picture, is that how your officially supposed to hold it?

Because every game diagram that shows button mappings would need to adjust.
That actually makes sense.

It looks like it has some weight to it, that's good. I like a heavy controller.
So good.
So good.
Maybe it's like the tiny touch pad. Just get it out to the devs now in the crudest form so they can start hacking out some logic for it.

We're talking about analog sticks here.
I sit close to my TV and it reflects really strongly. Majorly distracting.

And you realize he said only microsoft does it their way, and I posted a controller from a company that also does it Microsoft's way. Right? Might want to read the full conversation before you leap into full defense posture.
Perfect.
God damn I laughed long and hard. 11/10
