drohne said:how about a 'stable wireless connection' feature. as seen on the 360 pad. i just keep my sixaxis plugged in when i'm playing games. which is annoying
Y2Kev said:Sounds more like force feedback applied to each stick individually, which absolutely would be awesome.
Pharmacy said:I was thinking about LEDs that are placed around the controller so when you get hit or shot in the game etc, they light up according to how bad the hit was (multicolour LEDs, green being a soft hit, red being hard etc), with the rumble going off accordingly.
In 1995, Sony (realizing that analog technology could be useful) created a potentiometer-based analog joystick for use in Flight-Simulation games. The Sony Dual Analog FlightStick featured twin analog sticks and was used in games such as "Descent" to provide a much greater degree of freedom than the typical digital joysticks of the day.
In 1996 Nintendo introduced a modern analog stick called a control stick on their Nintendo 64 controller. Unlike the D-pad, the control stick allowed for varying levels of pressure and 360-degree control, translating into more precise movements in games such as Super Mario 64. (Incidentally, Super Mario 64 DS was criticized by some for imprecise control due to lack of an analog stick on the Nintendo DS.)

PirateSean said:would someone mind explaining how TouchSense would be incorporated into the SIXAXIS?
Teen Ape said:in that we started out with the original PS1 controller with no analogue, and it's come all the way to this point
It has come along way, it started with them copying the SNES controller, to adding the N64's joystick and rumble, to tossing in the Wii's motion control. The amount of progress is staggering.
Manmademan said:From wiki:
nintendo was beaten to analog control by Sony by a full year, and By Atari by around a decade (though atari's sticks werent implemented well.)
give it a rest, juniors.
Edit: Forgot about the Vectrex, too. That console DID come standard with a self centering analog joystick in the early 80s that beat the crap out of the atari 5200's implementation.

Makes me think this controller is coming out much sooner than expected.
Linkzg said:im calling it now, force feedback on the right or both analog sticks, imagine how cool it would be when the analog stick has resistance or pushes back when you are trying to make a sharp turn.
yeah thats called haptic,Linkzg said:im calling it now, force feedback on the right or both analog sticks, imagine how cool it would be when the analog stick has resistance or pushes back when you are trying to make a sharp turn.
I just noticed Draft has generally the same idea, it needs to be done.

yeah it is, i was just showing the technology that someone else was talking about (haptic) where you can get tactile force feedback. It would be cool if they could shrink that tech down into the sixaxis analog sticks. I would take that over regular rumble any day.Mrbob said:Looks cool, but a bit bulky.

TTP said:You open the Sixaxis and then put the TouchSense rumble in it. More or less.

Sony fans touchy about Sony copying and Nintendo and MS fans in denial about how those companies do the exact same ish. Crazy, innit?!AndyMoogle said:Wow, some people are really touchy about how Sony copies stuff.
Except MS and Nintendo are usually not so obvious.Mustaphadamus said:Sony fans touchy about Sony copying and Nintendo and MS fans in denial about how those companies do the exact same ish. Crazy, innit?!

and you can flip it around to use the buttons under it

Sony already had a 'mote last gen!!Cygnus X-1 said:I know you're joking, but I don't think this possibility is SO remote. We all remember the rumble pack, the analog joystick, the wireless and the Sixaxis.
It is possible for me.
:lolMustaphadamus said:really?
You have a point. The new device that MS came out with that is a EXACT copy of the sony controller that came out some years before isn't obvious? Or how the dreamcast controller and the xbox controller isn't to far off from one another minus the little slot for the LCD memory card thing the DC had? Or what about the dreamcasts online offering that MS took and perfected. Or how Sony came out with analog sticks before the Nintendo introduced theirs. Man you are in denial or being sarcastic.
