Ah, the controller looks really good. Can't wait to get my greasy hands on one!
Was there even any advantage to Xinput, and was it not possible to just send a signal saying "yo imma 360" and make everything snap to that rather than 360 or nothing?The controller is DirectInput only it seems. We'll need to you x360ce to emulate the 360 controller. Curse Microsoft for creating Xinput. Anyway, I left a comment for him to try to pair to PC with Bluetooth if he has a receiver--really interested to know.
I wonder how long the micro USB cable PS4 includes, I have a few but all are very short.
Is there even a reason for me to keep my DS4 preorders? I mean, what multiplayer games will we get at launch or even near launch?
Sucks that you don't already have one laying around but the micro USB connector they are using is pretty much standard on non apple phones (mostly smart phones but I have seen a number of dumb phones that use it), and like every other small device that needs USB now, it pretty much replaced the mini USB that the DS3/PSP etc used completely.
Pretty much every cellphone/tablet device use the same cable (micro usb). Search Monoprice for micro usb cables. That should get you one for fairly cheap. There's always the option of buying the cradle too when it comes out, which is what I plan on doing.
At launch I really wouldn't suggest getting more controllers than just the one that comes with the system.
Off the top of my head the only games that you could even use them for are Injustice and Call of Duty Split Screen. EA sports games too I suppose.
Save yourself $60 and get another game, or just straight up save it.
Probably the uglist PS controller in the series. Will the touchpad really be used that much in games? Dont need another SixAxis which is hardly used anymore.

Yeah but he is one of those weirdos who puts his whole thumb over the analog stick instead of the tips on the centre

Oh right, my bad thanks. The wording doesn't seem to take any notice of PC (or PS3?) support though. Maybe it's nothing.
Didn't even know you could use it with the PS3 but by the sounds of the posts here you can and that's awesome (and a great idea from Sony).
Oh man, it's the sequel to this:
I'm inviting people over on the 16th to play some PS4 at my place, and that necessitated me to look at what games were available with local multiplayer. At the very least there is:
- Call of Duty: Ghosts
- Madden 25 (a few days after launch)
- FIFA 14
- NBA 2K14
I'm not a big NBA guy or Call of Duty guy but I'm getting both of those as I'm sure they'll both be games that my friends will want to play. Plus 2K14 is really the one game that has the next-gen graphics wow factor. I probably would've got FIFA 14, but since that trailer for NBA came out, I decided to get that first.
I might still get FIFA, undecided right now.
I never really understood the issue people had with their thumbs hitting on the DS3 until I started watching these new videos for the DS4.
It all makes sense now, they were holding the controller wrong.
Wait, it doesn't include a charger? Oh well, I would use just the one coming with the console anyway
Yeah.I never really understood the issue people had with their thumbs hitting on the DS3 until I started watching these new videos for the DS4.

No, that's fine, the problem is whether you grip the handles like a monkey or rest them effortlessly on your palm. If you do that part correctly your thumb position will be fine automatically.Yeah, what kind of idiot would put their hands on the handles and their thumbs on the thumb sticks? Such plebians don't deserve the glory and majesty of DualShock!
I hope that touch pad really gets used by a lot of games.
When are the colors coming to NA? And was the grey controller real or a photoshop?
Yeah.

What in god's name is he doing to those analog sticks? Hold the damn controller properly.

the touchpad was a genius idea. its like 4/5 extra buttons when needed.
That's because the controller is not supported on PC and PS3...
Sure they both see it as a standard HID controller so you get basic axis and button support but that's it.
Sony will have to release proper drivers if you really want to use it with all the features on pc (sisaxis, rumble, touchepad,etc).
Oh I see, thank you for clarifying. Anyone know if Sony have said anything about their intentions with that?
Is it that easily available? I really need to pick one up soon!I just picked up a Dualshock 4.. :3
