Doom 3 BFG ( i only tried doom 3)

Marvel vs Capcom 2

( will try diablo 3, borderlands 2, and a few other games this week.)
 
Bit of an update as I got myself a Dual Shock 4 last weekend (I did not see these games mentioned in the OP):

Do work -
Call of Juarez Gunslinger

Do not work -
Okami HD
Aliens: Colonial Marines

I'll revisit this with a few updates as I go. Nearly finished Gunslinger now do I'll see what else is compatible.
 
This is nice, but don't we need to connect the controller and there's no rumble!

That's correct. I don't miss rumble really (at least not yet), but I had to buy a 3 metre micro USB cable and it's a bit of a pain keeping it plugged in as I have an 11 month old boy who's currently into climbing and grabbing everything, so keeps going for the cable. But the controller is so much better that I accept these things as a reasonable payoff.

Do PS2 digital downloads on PS3 work with the dualshock 4? I've been itching to replay Persona 3, and would like to use the vastly superior controller.

I don't have Persona 3 but I'll try it with the games I do have later (Red Faction and Max Payne) and see how it goes.
 
Works:
The Unfinished Swan
Plants vs. Zombies
Machinarium
Rochard
Trine
Renegade Ops
Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition
Red Faction PS2 classic (nb - the controls are very jerky, but as far as I can tell that's an issue with the game rather than the controller)

Does not work:
PixelJunk Racers

Wait a sec.. The Last of Us is DS4 compatible??

I tried it at ps4 launch and it doesnt work ! Am I the only one?
 
I've updated the list from the OP, and I've made a few amendments because I'm a bit of a pedantic prick. I'll keep adding to this by trying a few different games each night where I can. Also thought it would be useful to have a record of those that don't work at the bottom.

Not to be a party-pooper, but wouldn't it be easier to create a list of incompatible games?
Anyway, like everyone else here I very much hope Sony eventually brings full DS4 support to PS3 so it can be used in wireless mode, too. Since BT is downwards compatible, that should be possible, shouldn't it? And they could simply map 'select' and 'start' to 'share' and 'options'.

Anyone want to start a twitter campain and bug the usual suspects? #DS4onPS3

Uh, no. Look above you; there's a list of probably upwards of 150 compatible games, and about 16 or 18 incompatible games. Based on that your comment makes no sense.

Errm.. because of that, it proves his point? Most games work so making a list of games that DONT would be easier, and more useful.

Yeah, I completely misunderstood the context and humbly apologise.

However, I think it's good to clarify either way if a game works, so people looking for information can find a definitive answer as opposed to a vague assumption.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Subscribed! Really good to know these!

The DS4 did not work on the lightning returns demo which I'm kind of bummed about so I would assume it won't for the full game

I'm playing it right now and it works fine.

What happens in Uncharted 1 when you get to the motion control bits?

I'll try tomorrow and let you know for sure. I just had a quick play but I don't recall where the first log balance section is, so I'll try again when I have more time tomorrow evening.

Will also try the Lightning Returns demo which I've just downloaded, as there have been conflicting reports on that.

It seems you cannot do anything in those log walking sections, although they can still be completed without using the Sixaxis waggle bullshit.

I've just played the demo and it worked fine. Might be different in the full game, but I think it's safe to presume it won't be.

The list hasn't been updated in awhile.

Can we get a mod to update the list or change OPs?

I beat the demo just fine with my DS4. I don't even own a working DS3.
 
Works:
PixelJunk Shooter 2
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light

The list hasn't been updated in awhile.

I've got an updated list at post #221. Was thinking about PMing the thread creator and asking if he or she can update with my version.

Ok, so I'll update this tomorrow! Lot's of new additions here and I'm damned tired at the moment. I promise it will get done.

Thanks for that. I can't really just cut and paste because I'm not certain what new games you've added of your own and what games you've added because of the recent posts. Thanks all the same though. It's going to be hellish doing this tomorrow lol

And done! If anyone can go through the list provided by Triggerhappytel feel free lol

My eyes get strained too much trying to cross reference the two lists to see if anything as been added. If the list gets bigger and I run out of space, is it possible to get a mod to change the second post to mine so that I can carry on there?
