It looks a bit... 'funny'.

Reminds me of them cheap knock-off controllers.

So they are basically mashing together the move controller and vita touchpad into the existing dualshock design.

Only a prototype at the moment. One hopes the final product looks a lot better.

Dualshock 3 is crap and made for tiny, girly, japanese hands. Fact.

Strange thing to say.

The dual shock first came out back on the original PS (One of the worlds best selling consoles). Back then that controller received nothing but praise.

Now all of a sudden it has become a crap controller.....

There was nowt to compare it to then. The 360 pad opened our eyes to what a controller should feel like.

Are they blind?

There's another small button. The one they think is the "Share" button has a twin on the opposite side, above the right hand buttons.

I would suggest they're just the moved 'Start' and 'Select' butons.

The one on the right has a ridge though .. slider? volume?

3D on/off.

There is a speaker on the controller so that could very well be the volume for it.

I don't think they will show the new console on the 20th. No pricing, no name (if it has a name other than '4') I think all they will do is show tech demos of new game engines/processors

Bit of an expensive event just for that I would think. Sony are flying the journos out at their cost.

Completely agree then the wavebird wireless one was amazing!

I have no issue with the dualshock, i actually prefer it, its down to what people are used to, i play more ps than xbox so i prefer the controller as its what im more accustomed to!

Whilst every xbox player i know hates on the dual shock as they are used to the 360 pad

As i said a few pages back the pad wont be much different to the dual shock as it doesnt have to be, dont fix what isnt broken, just make some minor tweeks which looks accurate judging by the prototypes that popped online recently (whether legit or not)

 

[JDR82]

I really like the dual shock, but as long as they don't do anything stupid I look forward to any positive changes, I would love to just see a really good battery inside which can give me a month of gaming or so

I really don't like the stick positions on the 360 controller... am I weird? As a result I much prefer the PS3 controller.

 

[peahead]

Why cant they just keep the pad as just that a pad we dont need all this other rubbish inside it

Give it more time for your body to unlearn the (almost) twenty years of the left thumb stick being in the wrong position. Then you can't go back.

lol wrong postion more like the correct postion

I kinda get a feeling that the speaker will be for certain game sounds. Like if you're playing an FPS then any comms chat will come through it.

Doesn't feel natural. When your hand rests on the controller your thumb naturally rests on the d-pad. As all gaming uses the analog stick nowadays, that's where the left one should be.
