On 360 the middle of my index fingers works the top buttons while the top of my index fingers works the triggers. No real need to move from the trigger to the top buttons. Might be a hand size thing though.

Err, shiny touch pads are SUPER common on laptops. Don't put too much faith in it being a screen.
This is the laptop I use (with shiny touch pad):
And with the click of the big button there, this appears on it:
I'm guessing we'll see something like this on the controller as well.
...if it's not an OLED, that is......

Bear with me here.
What if you set each user account with a certain color, and then you set a controller to a certain color, and THEN say I'm playing and I'm "blue" and then my friend turns another controller on with the controller "red" and it automatically signs him in too.
Okay. The idea kind of fell apart as I started fleshing it out...but I think there's something there.

Cyborg with a camera eye.
But why fixed? Even on a dev unit the developer might not have it in a convenient place for play testing
And why so far apart? If you built those into a single unit it looks like it'd be wider than a kinect, and that's already massive.
I wonder if they might go crazy and have two separate cameras? Remember Time Crisis and the guncon 3 with two separate sensors you clipped onto the corners of your TV?

Considering the small size of the DS3 controller, the rumoured PS4 controller doesn't seem big at all.
Assuming the face buttons will remain the same size.

Why do you assume that you will need to use touchpad and rest at the same time ? It's like start button. You use it occasionally.
PS5 leak?

That is what will happen, there's no longer 4 ID lights so it has to be done with colour instead.
Yep agree with that 100%

With what? It's not really a debatable issue, if you don't place your thumbs to overlap the sticks then they don't touch if you push them both inwards.
If anything they just acknowledged that there are a lot of goobers.
More expensive for whom? Because while I'm sure Sony is going to charge $60 for this controller, it's not going to cost that much money to make. Glass and all. Even if they have a fancy Leappad-like touchpad thing.
Have to be cameras, right?Those black rectangles on the dev kit blowed up a bit.
OMG, ugly as sin! Please reduce the chunk factor Sony!!

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!

Good job man. Seems way bigger
I don't care about speed. I care about feel, and that feels really weird.
But i guess i am not as "1337" as everyone else

HE KNOWS TOO MUCH
Move basically chooses the colour of the ball during calibration, to give the best contrast, you don't really choose in case you pick a 'bad' colour. But there might be more flexibility this time around?
Personally I'm not sure why its lighting up at all - why wouldn't they go with IR LEDs on the controller and an IR sensitive camera? Most camera are IR sensitive by default anyway
Because some games require it (recently DmC). One of my major issues with the 360 pad.
What's funny is the crew that mistakes aesthetics for ergonomics. Look at all the "ugly and uncomfortable" posts already. *Has flashbacks at all the horrendously unergonomic WiiU mockups people came up with.*
Is it a little fatter? Yeah. And it's not glossyied up since it's a prototype, but that thing looks like it's got a significant bump in the ergonomics/comfort level (probably due to it's slightly fatter profile).
Makes sense for sports games if the color matches your player outline in the game. How many times have you started up FIFA or madden with your friends and everyone is like "Am I green?", "I think I'm blue", "Pause it, lets check who's what"

Looks like move is a standard part of the ps4 devkit. Don't let this make you think there will be an integrated move camera on the final ps4 tho

A proper d-pad? Nice.
Since the thing is supposed to be a prototype I wouldn't expect the final iteration to look exactly like this one.

That's exactly what I was saying. Everyone cries and whines that it's not pretty enough (although it will likely look better anyway since this is just a prototype) but you'll hear basically nobody after the thing launches since people will be busy playing games with a controller that's actually comfortable.
Personally, I hope they keep it matte.
I really hope it works like this, functional and doesn't require a lot of development to implement on a game.
Calm down. It's just a prototype. It's so developers have every feature they need to develop for the new system. The final controller will be similar, but it won't really look like this.

I was of the mind that it won't even be used for Move stuff since motion seems like it would be kind of clunky, but you still may be right.
Fucking sticks still in the wrong place, y u no learn from ergonomics overlords sony.
Not being a fanboy, (almost) definitely going PS4 next gen, just really don't like DS layout of sticks.
Oh well, the added bulk probably makes it a bit more comfortable.

Not bad.
haha, took me a second to see Vader
Kinect gets its depth from IR or whatever, not stereoscopic vision. I think for stereo cameras to sense depth accurately they would have to be quite far apart.

You still get different colours for different players, for obvious reasons, but as you say they might be allocated and changed by the system.

So instead of fixing the horrible ergonomics of the Dualshock, they've made them worse. Great. Guess I'll be using a third party controller again.

I'd rather have my thumbs down than up.
I understand why, I was just comparing. I think kinect is bordering too big for an accessory, and if this is even wider then that is not something I want stuck in front of my TV 24/7
