If Apple does this for their 7th generation devices, then the Vita can kiss itself goodbye.

Look out nvidia Shiled!
Or because they aren't first party

I'm not even sure I trust how it's held in or whatever. Looks... awful prone to just flop out and destroy your £400 smartphone as you hammer the d-pad and scream "WHY OF ALL D-PADS WHY"

Yeah, sadly people will buy anything Samsung throw at them right now despite of the quality,if Samsung said this is the next big thing people should buy they will blindly buy it...just like that garbage overpriced Galaxy camera.

They messed up the second stick placement. It needs to be switched with the buttons
Imagine using the Floating Touch tech to play games, like kinect on a phone.

Why you gotta be so salty just because the Vita is selling like garbage?

Better than Kinect 1.0. It can track at least one of my fingers!

Normally I would disagree as the 360 controller gets it right, but on that ugly ass thing, I think it would improve it.
And both your eyeballs too!
To be fair, the eye tracking thing could genuinely be cool for games, having it pause when you look away.
It's like every bad idea for a controller ever, now all it needs is a number pad and we'll be set.

If apple stuck shoulder buttons, a small D-pad or thumbstick, and one or two face buttons on the iphone, I might actually play an iOS game for more than two seconds before deleting it.

those weird buttons on top are weird, but the rest of the controller looks like it'd be fine/great. and you can just ignore the top row buttons, theyre out of the way anyway.
this thing is kinda awesome.
modern combat 4 might be tolerable on this thing.

And because they aren't really portable.
Yeah that's nice.
Somebody should GIF that and make it a history.

those are exactly the same as 360 buttons...
but sammy and ms often seem fairly close (I recall some sort of comarketing of Sammy TV's at Xbox events), so maybe it was allowed.
I still really like the idea. Sonic looks like it'd be really fun there. Most people already have a phone, even if it may not be as advanced as GS4. Price this at $30 or something and I could see a lot of (more core perhaps) people getting their gaming fill at home from their smartphone (which would be bad for consoles)

Was going to make a thread about it. I'm curious if Samsung is serious about entering the console/handheld gaming market. If millions of Samsung users can just play some games on their tv, there goes another bite from the console market.
I really like the idea. The controller is clunky at the moment but it is just a prototype.
Iit will be more a problem for handhelds that actually bet on smartphone games ports. But I agree that it could have an impact on other systems aswell but not as much due to their software strategy.
Two posts... is that a record?

That game selection screen also kind of reminds me of Steam Big Picture.

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Does it even matter this is "first party"? I mean, maybe if it was Apple, but this is just one manufacturer of many of Android phones. It's only first party for those who buy Samsung. Possibly not even all of their own phones are compatible with it (or games). If Alienware put out a controller it wouldn't be a first party PC controller for all. Nice features though, if ugly.
