god I hope not, I like the current configuration.

me agrees with you

 

[Madman]

Yeah, you would think the analog light and complete lack of Home button would have made people think twice, but alas, the internet never lets me down.

 

[Visualante]

Hold the controller pressed against the base of your fingers, not the palms. When you do that, the left analog stick is ergonomically placed.

Problem solved.

No. But I like it how it is.

 

[xaosslug]

i refuse to w3lcome3 chang3! >:'(

 

[capslock]

most likely a photoshop. it's already been posted in other threads multiple times.

ahem

Those honestly look like something you would give a 1 year old to play with.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Not to mention Sony would have demanded Lucas to take down the image... 2 days ago.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Buzz has been out for years :lol

Ha! I've never heard of it before. Was that just a new version at E3? The controllers look frickin' identical.

 

[Dega]

Yeah thats why I made that Fisher-Price remark.. I totally forgot about that buzz controller.

it's one of sony's euro series. there's like 4-5 buzz games in the series already.

 

[DemonSwordsman]

The current PS3 controller is the best. Better than the 360 one.

 

[Prime crotch]

What an awful photoshop. But I would love them to do something like this.

 

[karasu]

They didn't even remove the outline of the D-Pad when they put the analog stick in it's place.

 

[RiskyChris]

Hey guys if you don't like the stick located there, maybe you should continue using the old controller. No need to flip the fork out.

 

[Blackface]

They also need to change the size of the joystick as well as change positions. The PS3 controller is one of the worst I have ever played with. people have just gotten used to it because of the PS2.

 

[Yoboman]

It's new to the US, but it's a million seller franchise in Europe

 

[iapetus]

Wait, people hold the controller pressed against their palms? Ew. No wonder some people hate DS2...

 

[Ether_Snake]

I don't like it. I don't like having the two thumbsticks in different locations like that. I like my Sixaxis/Dualshock.

 

[Aegus]

Shame it's fake, I was hoping that after 10 years or so that they woudl finally get round to fixing it.

 

[iidesuyo]

Have Buzz, EyeToy and Singstar never been released outside Europe?? Then it's not surprising that some people think Sony does only copy... Stuff like WiiFit too has already been done by Sony, it was called EyeToy Kinetic.

That came out in North America too, as well as eyetoy and singstar.

remember any positive spin is always a negtive for sony thats how it works supposedely-_-

 

[warthog]

Good it's fake, I would hate that. Looks like crap.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Sony debuted the same controllers this year for some quiz game. What the heck actually came first? It seemed like the two ideas debuted almost simultaneously.

Uh, Buzz came out in 2005.

EDIT: Beaten by a million years.

 

[Miguga64]

Its Fake... the PS3 Controller is comfortable, even more than the Dualshock 2, thats because the joysticks are tallers than the dualshock2 joysticks

 

[Setanta]

They didn't even remove the outline of the D-Pad when they put the analog stick in it's place.

The dpad outline is also on the other end of the pad, around the buttons, its supposed to be like that.

 

[RiskyChris]

In my experience, the PS3 controller is way less comfortable than the DS2, by virtue of the awkward triggers in back.

 

[Dragona Akehi]

It doesn't look real to me (no PS button) but why on earth would they bother photoshopping it?

 

[DarkJediKnight]

Looks like someone with little knowledge of games put it up. Kind of like the PGR3 Mclaren shot for GT5 banner.

 

[DantesWrath]

Respect -1 to Kotaku for posting fake shit.

 

[Keio]

They might be going for a fancy Home touch area or something, using capacitance tech or something like that (similar to the power button on the console) on the controller?

 

[Greg]

I would not touch that controller.

 

[RiskyChris]

Respect -1 to Kotaku for posting fake shit.

What the hell. They're posting it with caution all over the article.

Way to jump on them so quickly.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Why would someone who is completely ignorant about gaming photoshop the controller?

 

[Woo-Fu]

old and fake. We had too much good sony news there for a few days, but good to see we're back to normal.

 

[Ranger X]

Because it makes their ads more attractive and more talked about? Look at what attention we are starting to give them!

 

[Ghost]

Respect -1 to Kotaku for posting fake shit.

its on the ****ing lucasarts website!!!


The reality is that it was probable made by some webdesign intern who just googled for a playstation controller and didnt realise his/her mistake.

 

[Roi]

YES!

 

[Ranger X]

The dpad outline is also on the other end of the pad, around the buttons, its supposed to be like that.

The outline is right. But on the D-pad side there are also arrows in that outline and they didn't even bother removing them. And then this outline with arrows would probably be there around the D-pad anyways if it was anywhere more real than a photoshop...

 

[xaosslug]

to mess with the Internet.

 

[FiRez]

I wish it was real, it would make it more comfortable for the FPS games

 

[Koren]

If that's legit, looks like they're redesigning to more closely mimic the X360 controller layout - which would not be a bad thing IMO.

Same here. But it's a fake from a dualshock : see, there's no PS button...

 

[Danne-Danger]

Can't say that I wouldn't like to have the alternative (though I'm perfectly fine with the current layout).

 

[Woo-Fu]

I wish it was real, it would make it more comfortable for the FPS games

Only for those of us whose left thumb is longer than their right. I'm not one of them, btw, but YMMV.

I have a 360, and use the 360 wireless controller on my pc as well. The net result of shifting the left thumbstick is this: I hold the 360 off center, towards the left(from my POV) side of my body. It is uncomfortable to hold it in the center due to its asymmetry. That isn't more comfortable in my book. It makes up for that weakness with good triggers and shape of the sticks, though.

 

[xaosslug]

there was nothing wrong with the original DS/2 design as far as a small segment of people being developmentally challenged and unable to come to grips with its 'complicated' nature. ;P

i call bullshit.

 

[dark10x]

I certainly hope not. I love the current position and am tired of everyone bitching about it.

 

[cvxfreak]

If Sony changed it, it'd be kind of ironic since Nintendo went with the same layout for the Wii classic controller. :lol

 

[The Faceless Master]

i remember i was gonna post a thread like this on friday.

i used the search function first and found this post so i didn't bother...

and then i kept reading that thread and found this post and was like "good thing i used search!"

 

[Aeon712]

Good thing it's fake, no need to fix what isn't broken.

 

[kikonawa]

looks quite fake
