if its direct input it would work with motioninjoy right?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Hmm this works on PC right? He dpad on my xbox controller just broke.

Probably, haven't tried that myself. Worked right out of the box on a few games I tested -- Battlefield 3 (changed mappings) and Rusty Hearts.

Yep.

He dpad on my xbox controller just broke.

Pretty sure it's working as intended.

 

[Team Klimt]

My GS just got them this morning so if your store doesn't have them yet call back this afternoon after they do all their receiving. They are prob sitting in boxes in the back room.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Have you tried with a game that uses the traditional xbox settings? Does "A" just map to the "X" button, etc? Also you do have to have it plugged in, yes? No Bluetooth?



Hmm, maybe I will get one. It will need to be my primary controller though.

 

[Miguel81]

I see what you did there.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

If I buy one right now, can I use it to play PC games? I want to have a feel for it already, so I was going up buy it, but I don't have a PS3 to use it on.

It works on PC as a generic DirectInput controller. It won't work for games that only support XInput, the Xbox 360 controller protocol.

At least not until someone makes an XInput Wrapper or confirms that it's compatible with x360ce, which still doesn't work for certain games.

Seems like a bad idea to rely on it as my main controller, but it's so new and shiny,

I hope this controller makes a killing in the pc market and gets us back to directinput. Microsoft tried to corner the market with their api.

 

[Iacobellis]

Shouldn't GameStop have kiosk units by now?

 

[Nursezero]

San Diego, Mira Mesa Gamestop has them for sale. They are not on display, need to ask the clerks for them.

 

[level44]

Anyone know if they are selling them in the UK?

 

[Moozo]

Anyone know if they are selling them in the UK?

Just thinking actually, might be another fortnight or so here since it's not out for another 5 weeks

 

[sixteen-bit]

Does the DS4 work with Ouya?

 

[Pops Maellard]

Unboxing it myself and having one tells me it has the texture. =p

My apologies, glad to know it's still there.

 

[btkadams]

i need to know when amazon uk will start shipping them. i'll be ordering a blue controller from them to ship to canada if they ship before launch.

 

[IcyRhythms]

So, it works with PC but it won't work with a game like Arkham City right out the box without using MotionJoy or something. Shame, was hoping Sony would release some official drivers to have this playing with a lot of my games on Steam etc...

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Just got one.
65$ for a controller and 22 for a 6 foot USB cable eeeww what he I done?

 

[wwm0nkey]

So no stores in the US have it yet?

Have you tried x360ce?

Most of the east coast seems to no have any in stock. Check here:

A few members have gotten some, in California, and Nevada I think?

I'll check it out

I'd still like to know why Sony refuses to release official drivers for this thing. They never bothered with the DS3. Hard to imagine it will be any different with the DS4.

 

[la flama blanca]

Anyone in NY have it?

 

[Tsundere]

I'll check it out

It works right our of the box on the Operating System, why are you talking about drivers? The Operating system detects it fine and almost all the inputs (except sixaxis and touchpad glide).

If you're talking about compatibility with the games, that's because the game doesn't recognize the controller and doesn't have a map for it.

Its not drivers that's the issue, its the API that the games use.

This is fucking insane. I can't believe they're charging the price of a game for a controller now.

 

[todd360]

I'm going to call my local gamestop tomorrow. I always get 2 controllers eventually anyways. The feel of next gen!

 

[NevaNopa]

Just stopped by the gamestop by my house to see it they had any in stock. The guy working there said they did, but they got an internal communication in today saying they can't be sold until the 15th

I wonder something will be done with that :-\

 

[Tsundere]

Would have to be patched in, or use a third party software to do the mapping.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

OMG this thing is so sexy. Just plugged it in the light turned orange and my pc popped up saying it was good to go.

I would imagine this would be a looooooooooooooooooooooong wait(if it happened at all)

Have you tried getting bluetooth to work? I know the controller is 2.1+EDR.

Another poster got bluetooth error 0x80070015

I wonder something will be done with that :-\

Sony need to release a more complete driver as this one right now as basic as it gets, hell even the motioninjoy driver lets you use sixaxis.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

LOL I probably shouldn't have bought this right now. I'm sure in a few weeks it'll be ok but LOL Pacman and Eldritch don't work out of the box.

FEZ and Rogue Legacy work perfectly though. Its a very nice controller. And Steam Big Picture mode doesn't activate when you press the Playstation button.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Here it is

 

[Deleted member 22576]

So I've never used this xbox360ce application before? Any tips?

 

[ckohler]

That settles it, I'm going to check a few local GameStops after work. I want to hold this controller so bad, I'll buy it early if I can.

 

[The Lamp]

I need people to talk about if the light bar distracts during gameplay. Or does it not turn on even when connected to PS3?

 

[Deleted member 22576]

So far I can't see the light bar being bright enough to bother anyone. Unless something weird is going on and its only displaying at 50% or brightness or something.

 

[Deleted member 22576]

Yeah, so far I'm having no luck with XboxCE.

 

[Snake201]

Great video

Even though i'm picking up an Xbox One this November, this video got me very excited for the future of gaming.

It's here guys! It's here!!

 

[majorscud]

Anyone find one in central Florida? I've called around and all of my Gamestop stores are saying they've been told they can't sell them until the "pre-order party" on November 10th.

 

[Qwell]

Woots, called a Gamestop close by and they have them, omw to pick one up and try it with GTA 5 online

edit: for anyone wondering, it looks like the Portland, OR area is stocked

 

[Deleted member 22576]

i guess lets see what this made of. The triggers aren't up to par with the 360. Definitely. The trackpad feels slightly cheap.

I have Hitchhikers thumbs, the nos are my yeses.

Thanks for the link! I saw my local GS had one (Southern California) and headed right out to pick it up. Gonna go test it out now.

I had to look it up....yikes.

Windows 8.1 finds the device as a Bluetooth Controller but is unable to pair (I tried once, will try a few more things in a bit).

Windows 8.1 also detects the following buttons (in the Controller Settings in Control Panel):

• D-pad Up
• D-pad Left
• D-pad Down
• D-pad Right
• Left Analog
• Left Analog Click
• Right Analog
• Right Analog Click
• X
• △
• □
• O
• Left Shoulder
• Left Trigger
• Right Shoulder
• Right Trigger
• Share Button
• Options Button
• Trackpad Click
• PS Button Click

The only thing not being detected is the trackpad "tracking". The sensitivity of the analogs is VERY high, they are very tight, and the slightest touch causes a registered signal.

This sounds extremely positive, 9/10'ths of the controller is good to go. Just need a driver which is sixaxis, bluetooth and touchpad capable.
Bonus points if the motioninjoy 2.0 driver for it supports the headset functionality too (I doubt it)
