Revised DS4 Included with PS4 Slim
- Thread starter RoboPlato
- Start date
Wouldn't they want to mention that to everyone though?
Man... Some of these reactions, people acting like they didn't spend nearly ten years with a light on the front of their 360 controller.
...they haven't even officially confirmed this thing exists yet!

BUT TEH BATTERY LIFE!!!11!
Lightbar has never bothered me. And I understand its need for VR.
You're aware that this hasn't actually been announced yet?

i hope we can turn that shit off, no one asked for this revision, like no one.
Other than that the controller needs to have improved batter life and the quality of the sticks should see improvements as well.
My old DS2 and DS3 are in great shape after almost 10 years....my DS4? i have went through about 7 of them since 2013, shit is crazy.

You've gone through 7 DS4s? What the fuck? My DS3s are in good shape as well but so is my DS4. I don't use it as much I use my DS3 (I use DS3 on PC and I play mostly on PC) but I can't imagine the DS4 being that damn flimsy.

Better battery life is always welcome for those that still play marathon gaming sessions I guess, personally I find the DS4 battery more than fine, as I don't get to spend all day on games anymore like I did when I was younger lol

Not completely off, but an option to dim it.

it's not officially announced but i'm not going to kid myself on cause it's real. your comment is just like those people who say "the neo doesn't even exist!" just because it's not official yet doesn't mean it doesn't exist. we all know it does.
my controller from 2013 is holding up perfectly fine. the R2 did squeak a little but it went away. still no peeling.

its a good addition, when playing dying light and other games that use the light in certain ways to tell you things, i always thought why bother because you have to tilt your dualshock to see what the lights doing. now you should be able to see it through perepherial vision

More lightbar, because so many games use it.

How?
They are the same shitty half concave half convex sticks in the DS4 currently. Thankfully they can be replaced by the superior Xbox sticks so all is well.

Just remind it is Neogaf, which meant everything lied or faked. So never take any reaction comments seriously.

It better.
I've never gotten the distaste for DS4 analogs. After playing on either pad, I don't even notice anything different after about 10 seconds. I could somewhat understand with the DS3 sticks at least, though I only had a problem with those on looooong sessions and if my hands were clammy.

I like the lightbar
They haven't officially mentioned The slim console yet.

Eh it's not that bad, although a little pointless.
Does it still have polystyrene analogue sticks?

They wear down fast. They are slippery. There's not a lot of contact surface. Sony tried to make a hybrid of concave and convex when they should have stuck with either one.
Convex gives the largest surface area, concave gives you the best grip. I think it's insane that they have stuck with this inferior analog shape for so long.
Wasn't the rubber wearing mitigated somewhat in the revisions? I have experience as it never happened to me on on my launch DS4s. As for being slippery, maybe I don't notice these things because of how I hold my controllers or how much little pressure I apply. I just picked up a DS4 and XB1 controller and you're right, it definitely is more slippery than the One sticks. Weird. I never notice it during gaming though, and I play a lot of movement heavy FPSes.
It's past the point that there should have been options for those types of things.
They used to, though. I have two DS4s. One's kind of slippery, but the new is perfectly fine, with absolutely no issues.

This is a "revision" now?
Imo they should have changed the shitty rubber on their sticks as their shape. Also they should have made them less slippery and with a longer lasting battery. For 50 it shouldn't be something we complain about :/

Because the light has a functional purpose for VR. It'll never be removed

Yep. Sony designed it so that the light will be bright enough to impair your vision.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
Only have it on when light is being in use for VR purpose. Is that too much to ask? I think this thing has something to do with the core OS that they cant figure out how to turn it off.
This reminds me of the PSN id issue. Seems like a small change, but the way PSN infrastructure is designed, looks like your id is the primary key in database. Sony's engineering team has tendency to design a flawed system, which are impossible to fix it in future with any update.

Actually some people already reported that you can become blind if you look directly at it (military laser aiming tech here).

With having multiple controllers the battery life doesn't matter to me. I just want better wireless hardware in the slim and new model.
KontrolFreeks. A god tier upgrade for the DS4 sticks.
When in doubt as to which will help you most, get the Destiny CQC edition.
