I changed the pic, but the point still stands; the PS4 controller looks like a cheap knock off.

huh? looks pretty nice to me. although the x1 does look like a nyko version.

 

[Lunchbox]

when I'm playing games

I stare at my controller

It really doesn't. The build screams premium.

 

[onQ123]

So I don't know about you guys, but I think all of the in the box controllers from this upcoming generation are ugly as sin.

The PlayStation 4 controller looks like one of those cheap third party controllers with a gimmick. Like one of those controllers that will 'memorize combos' Think the Turbo Touch 360. That touch pad looks terrible and messes up the dual shock design in my opinion. It's like a prototype that would have never made it past the drawing board.

you failed & don't even know you failed. lol

 

[Spongebob]

The DS4 and XBone controller look fine to me.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Is the PS4 controller completely final? I don't know, I actually like the look of the PS4 controller more than the X1 controller, especially from the front.

they said they're still working out details, such as the final d-pad, and i think they also mentioned the type/texture of plastic too.

there's supposedly some secret about the controller that we don't know yet. someone pull up the quote because im lazy.

 

[Guymelef]

lol

OP spreading lies and confusion about ps4 controller.

Jesus. Sensitive much? I changed it, but it's not all that different from the pic I originally posted.

 

[dmr87]

OP, if you're gonna rag on the PS4 controller, at least use the correct pic.

Uh, that's not correct either.

I see so many complaints over the new controllers. They all look amazing, except the WiiU gamepad in my opinion.

The PS4 controller looks great. If they add in a few Sony labels on the face front of it, maybe it would look more official but it looks beautiful to me.

Event the Xbone controller looks great.

As for the gamepad, I'd prefer to use my Ipad instead of that.

 

[Artex]

I want all of them inside of me.

 

[Fou-Lu]

PS4 controller looks great, all it needs is some symbols or something on the touch pad.

The Wii U controller looks nice and plays nice, I don't know what the problem is with its size... Plus the pro controller is amazing.

Xbone controller is the only one I feel might be a downgrade, but I'd have to hold it to find out.

 

[Dead Prince]

Jesus. Sensitive much? I changed it, but it's not all that different from the pic I originally posted.

you might need to get your eyes checked on that one

 

[Servbot24]

I think the Wii U controller is rather ugly due to the disproportionately small screen, but the other 2 look fantastic. Can't wait to hold the DS4.

 

[RoboPlato]

The XBO controller looks like a bad third party controller. I have no idea why they made it angular like that. It looks much less comfortable.

DS4 looks kind of goofy straight on but it looks comfortable and functional, which is all I care about.

 

[jeremy1456]

lol

I know, I fixed it again

 

[SapientWolf]

Huh? I would imagine they're both equally important for a controller, no?

No, why would they be equally important? You can't see the thing while it's in your hands.

 

[Dug]

That's not what the retail Dualshock 4 looks like. It actually looks really nice.



Edit: Beat'd.

I like how the front and back are made out of different materials.

 

[hardvibes]

I changed the pic, but the point still stands; the PS4 controller looks like a cheap knock off.

(Obvious troll is obvious)

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I pretty much like all of them, at least by the looks.

 

[LightofRohan]

Nobody can agree on the aesthetic of what makes a controller/console look "attractive", they are pieces of plastic. Stop judging this stuff like you know what you are judging. It's getting obnoxious. It's fine having an opinion, but people keep spewing this crap like it's objective facts.

 

[Dead Prince]

I like how the front and back are made out of different materials.

I assume for sweaty hands won't slip.

 

[jeremy1456]

Did the weird touch pad suddenly disappear?

*cries*
I'm sorry!

At least I posted a new pic, this time the one that was actually at the PS4 reveal. I think its the only PS4 pic in this thread that's not some sort of mock up.

 

[MYE]

DS4 looks wierd in the front center area. It doesnt mesh with the rest of the controller's design and looks a bit janky.

XBone and Wii U's look fine

 

[jeremy1456]

(Obvious troll is obvious)

Yeah because I obviously didn't discuss the problems with the other controllers.

Obviously.

 

[Dead Prince]

Did the weird touch pad suddenly disappear?

no but your taste was

 

[Syphon Filter]

DS4 seems like it will look that much better if you see it in actual real life.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wii U controller is ugly? I disagree. I think it looks awesome.

 

[alexein]

i dont find them ugly but i just wonder why they remove the start select buttons on the bone PS4 and how they will do without it.

 

[i-Lo]

The days of truly "ugly" are history.

OP thinks this looks like a knockoff:

Now it's a matter of less agreeable opinion.

 

[Mileena]

They all look good to me

 

[SolidsnackooFoxhound]

Jesus. Sensitive much? I changed it, but it's not all that different from the pic I originally posted.

 

[Raziel]

*pic of prototype*

"See now this here looks like one of those prototype controllers, sort of like an unfinished final product in prototype phase"

 

[HaRyu]

I dont think there's any design on the current touchpad (unlike the mock up pics). Then again, the pic I'm looking at, its not necessarily a close-up shot.

 

[KingFire]

Not as ugly as older controller. I mean look at this cluster fuck:

Although it looks like complete shit, it manages to be one of the best controllers I have ever used. Looks don't matter.

 

[Daingurse]

Ergonomics over aesthetics. I don't give a shit what a controller looks like, as long as it's comfortable.

 

[farisr]

I WISH 3rd party controllers looked as good as that.

 

[MYE]

DS4 seems like it will look that much better if you see it in actual real life.

Might be the case. It has happened before with other hardware.
The top of it is very pretty though

 

[Double D]

I think they all look great.

 

[Dug]

Now it's a matter of less agreeable opinion.

Only thing that looks weird about the controller is how the material behind the buttons/dpad are really black.

 

[zroid]

I don't really mind the Xbone controller. Want to get my hands on it soon.

Agree about DualShock 4, what a monstrosity.

 

[YouEnjoyMySelf]

DS4 ugly? Come on son.

So sexy.

 

[Kelegacy]

I think the controllers are nigh on perfect. Well, the Wii U one is not IMO, but it's not bad and feels comfy enough in the hands. It works well as a media controller anyway. Haven't played many games with it because...well, you know.

 

[sappyday]

I changed the pic, but the point still stands; the PS4 controller looks like a cheap knock off.

Maybe you're just not used to change? It looks like a much improved/sleek version of the past DualShock controllers.

 

[i-Lo]

Only thing that looks weird about the controller is how the material behind the buttons/dpad are really black.

That's the exceptionally glossy bit.

 

[10101]

Function>form

Definitely it could look like a cross between the hunchback of Notre Dam and the elephant man for all I care - I just want it to feel good in my hands.

That said I think both the PS4 & Xbox One controllers look fine to me.

 

[kittens]

I have no strong feelings on this. The X1 looks good, the others look mediocre. I can live with all of them, though.

 

[ffdgh]

It hurts that my wavebird will finally be put to rest .

On topic, they all look nice to me.

 

[Vinci]

People who think the Wii U controller is ugly or who judge it for its size are bonkers. That thing is amazing to use, hold, and look at.
