Looks decent to me. Can't wait to see the final design.

 

[Theonik]

Ewww, concave sticks. Also looks generally ugly. Hope that's not similar to the final pad.

 

[jayb]

Wonder if rumble is going to be evolved any. There's some nifty new rumble tech and I wish MS or Sony would try something new.

I would guess that they'll include similar pulsing actuator tech as the Sony Pulse Elite headset, which seems to give more accurate control over the vibrating motors that are in the DS3.

 

[RoadHazard]

I actually think they are a bit retro now to be honest, when i watched the 20th teaser video, it just made me feel all old.
Tis a bit 90's

The word you're looking for is "timeless".

I hope they keep the colors, I like them. Just the shapes would feel less "PlayStation" to me.

Ewww, concave sticks. Also looks generally ugly. Hope that's not similar to the final pad.

They're not exactly concave, they're convex with a rather thick ridge going around them. Doesn't look all that great, but I think they might feel pretty damn nice.

ah shit man, i just read the OP
the leak says the buttons are digital? :\
i liked that the analog buttons were always an option for devs, should they have a good idea for using them
plus...backwards compatibilty
mgs 3 on ps3 >>>>> 360 because of the pressure sensitive buttons

 

[Loudninja]

Did the Move use the same rumble tech as the DS3?

Other than Kojima with MGS games, who has ever had a good idea for using analog face buttons?

 

[mrklaw]

Just playing LBO karting with my son and I'm sitting with my DS pretty much at right angles to the TV, so I hope the move stuff isn't too forced - the camera wouldn't be able to see my LED strip if I had one right now.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

I hope Sony gives us more than just boring ass red and blue when the first color options crop up. White with white via buttons is a must, followed by boomerang style silver and buttons. They can do blue and red later.

 

[Lunzio]

I'm puzzled by why you would need a Move sensor on the regular controller.

I'd imagine it could be for more accuracy with gyroscopic movement?

 

[mrklaw]

I'd imagine it could be for more accuracy with gyroscopic movement?

Yeah, good for towards/away from the screen but also as an on the fly calibration for any gyro drift

 

[Brimstone]

To illustrate what I just said:

4 bumpers and 2 triggers like the Razer Onza gamepad.

 

[maquiladora]

I'm not sold on the move/touchpad parts. Very curious to see how they demo the functionality.

I know you aint talking shit about mad maestro

Spoiler

Nobody used the pressure sensitive buttons

 

[Road]

Just found this (not mine):

lol

 

[USC-fan]

I just hope that is a touch screen and not a touch pad. I don't need a full RGB screen. Just like one of those 16 color low-res screen for basic icons and soft buttons. Would be great for games and media functionality.

you really dont need that for it to act like buttons. Who really looks at the controller anyway to press buttons?

Just found this (not mine):

lol

that from this thread. gaf ->internet -> gaf

 

[Mung]

lol

GAF - Internet - GAF etc..

 

[Curufinwe]

Wipeout Fusion used them, and that meant I had to use a Dual Shock 1 to play the game. On the Dual Shock 2 to maintain 100% acceleration you had to keep the button jammed down as hard as possible for the whole race.

I played the living daylight out of the demo for this game that came with the magazine. Always wish I picked it up.

oh shit

thats enough for me!

im actually most excited about what kojima is gonna do with that touchpad, than anything else

 

[Loudninja]

Gaf needs a watermark

 

[RoadHazard]

Yep, that's what I imagine it'll be used for. The DS3 could already have done pointer controls (it has a gyro and all that jazz), but it obviously didn't have any way to get automatically calibrated to a certain position and orientation, which it seems like the DS4 will thanks to its shiny LED thingy.

 

[teiresias]

I'm really only asking because I remember last year when the updated version of the Wii U Gamepad got leaked and the guy got fired and I think sent to court?

Judging by sales they probably spent more money on lawyers prosecuting the leaker than they've made from WiiU.

Love this controller by the way but still sort of hoping for a surprise splittable design.

 

[Xun]

Looks very third party.

 

[teiresias]

I know it's a touchpad, but I'm with those who would have liked it to be a very simple LCD touchscreen. I'm thinking similar to the one used in the Verizon 4620LE hotspot below:

Simple one or two color display just for some icons. In fact, the one on the 4620le is nearly the exact right size I believe.

 

[WolfForager]

Gaf needs a watermark

I second this, I've seen that Demonite has started watermarking his. It would really cut down on all the non-Gaffers who accuse us of stealing their GIFS.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Conspiracy time!

If you crank the contrast up and look at the shadow it appears that this dev model still has the convex shoulder buttons.

 

[Patrick Bateman]

 

[teiresias]

You realize this is a mockup that originated in this very thread right?

 

[yurinka]

I'd love to see the back side of the controller, to see the new shoulder and triggers. And to confirm if it includes the 3D camera to do weird things in the air with your fingers.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I know it's a touchpad, but I'm with those who would have liked it to be a very simple LCD touchscreen. I'm thinking similar to the one used in the Verizon 4620LE hotspot below:

Same here. i still am hopfully that the center touchpad is a simple touch screen. I was thinking about something similar to the one on Harmony remotes.

I don't believe anything until Feb. 20th.

I saw both gifs on reddit. So maybe GAF really needs a watermark..

 

[AstroNut325]

Posted several pages back. But yes. That is awesome with a screen like that. I just want the newly leaked pic with THAT screen.

 

[spats]

You realize this is a mockup that originated in this very thread right?

I think Goldrusher made that.

 

[neuroned]

The most recent leaked image in the OP makes it look a Hell of a lot sexier. I hate it less now.

 

[Norml]

Should've gone the way of the Vita. So classy and beautiful

I vote for non colored buttons.Make it happen Sony!

 

[Jim]

Same here. i still am hopfully that the center touchpad is a simple touch screen. I was thinking about something similar to the one on Harmony remotes.

$200 remote ($250 when they first came out).

 

[kingocfs]

The new pic makes it look much better, less bulkier than I thought.

I've seen so many people claim that this is from Reddit today.

I don't think they noticed that I put my name on the bottom left of it lol.

 

[onQ123]

I think that the speaker/ mic will also be used for Ultrasonic motion tracking

 

[sono]

Love it.

 

[JAYSIMPLE]

Give me this now!! Looks amazing! Sold

 

[whitehawk]

To illustrate what I just said:

Oh come on. You can't tell anything from this photo.

 

[Pein]

looks awesome, give me this sony.

 

[sn00zer]

If it had a screen it would easily be $100 a controller...you know what happens to controllers? Well someone show me a controller theyve had for years that they havent mangle to some degree

 

[Imm0rt4l]

My sentiments exactly

My launch Sixaxis controllers are still working just fine. Hell, my Dualshock 2's from 2003 are still doing great.

Reddit claims everything originates from reddit. I'm sure they'd claim the internet was formed on reddit too despite the paradox.
