Some kind of Gaiki PS on PC service incoming?
Probly. After all, thats what Gaikai originally was.

uummmmm ok.
This makes the future look really bright. Personally, I look forward to getting a second DS4, tethering it to my Laptop, and then leaving it HDMI'd to my TV.
1 hour and 30 minutes or maybe 1 hour is how much time I think it will take you and others like you to get used to the different stick placement of the PS controllers.
Unlike the ps3, the sticks are further apart and since the grip is also larger/ longer, your thumbs would be in a more comfortable position.

Well since I currently use a DS3 with my PC if the DS4 will work over bluetooth too I will happily upgrade, thanks Sony!
Same here. And if the touchpad acts like a laptop touchpad we have the ultimate gaming controller right there. Actually excited about this now. Maybe I should pre-order a DS4?
Phantasy Star Online 2 has DualShock button prompts.
My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I wanna say DCUO had it prelaunch but switched to generic icons that match the 360 controller color scheme when it officially launched.
Yeah that was a pleasant surprise I didn't expect. It also has a 360 controller icon set and a generic set. I wish more games would do that.
All the reports of it working natively via USB seem to check out, and Yoshida said he'd explain the details when he was ready.

There have been good fighting sticks you could use on PCs for years.

So that's a yes.

The thing I love about the 360 controller is the fact I can play all PC games without any effort.
If the PS4 controller offers that kind of functionality, it will be my go to game pad for the PC.

It will if someone makes a wrapper that effectively turns it into a 360 controller as far as games are concerned.

It's great to be a PC gamer!
it's the same size as the touchpad on Logitech K400, other mini keyboard and notepads have smaller touchpads and they work just fine (really, go try them) you don't need a big one.

1000000$ says dolphin will support it so you can use the touch pad inplace of motion controls and the gyroscopes for motion also. I'd love to use it to play dolphin Wii games

Confirmation?
Triggers? Touchpad?

Confirmation?
Very odd reply in that he only mentions the sticks and buttons... What about the triggers and touch pad?

HHNNNGG at the touchpad working. Basically means you get to switch between PC games without having to put the controller down and whip out a mouse/keyboard. Especially great for couch-TV-as-monitor setups.

Triggers are "buttons". He probably means touch pad will not be supported seeing as PC games don't support them as far as I know.

You're right, the reply just threw me off for a moment.
Good to know it's supported on PC. Can't wait to try it out and see just how good/improved it really is.

If they release a chat pad for the Dualshock 4, they've pretty much just created the ultimate HTPC remote.

Hope you can use the touchpad to control the mouse pointer.

That reply is depressingly ...plain. Does not give off a great sense of confidence. He's probably talking about it working as a "generic usb controller", rather than using it with a driver that enables bluetooth connectivity, as well as rumble and touchpad capabilities.
So yeah....hype dead for now

They really need to start clearing some more of this stuff up. The thing launches next month. No need to hold back info any more. C'mon.

It's a given that someone will write a driver for it.
And it's probably not that hard to make the computer think it's an Xinput controller anyway.
The DS4 already works as Directinput controller & there's already a Xinput wrapper for Directinput controllers:

What? Have you ever seen a Yoshida-san Twitter Question Answer? We usually get a yes or no. This is roughly 6 times more answer than we're used to.
