Is This What the PS4 Controller Will Look Like?

We recently discussed the likelihood that the PS4’s controller would come equipped with a front-facing touchpad.  Now it seems as if we have a prototype of what the actual controller might look like once it ships.

Next Wednesday should be interesting when Sony holds its major event in New York City to showcase the PlayStation’s future.  For now, however, there are plenty of rumors regarding the PS4, including this leaked photo of a prototype of the upcoming console’s controller. 

 

The image comes via Destructoid, and while the controller looks mostly like the regular DualShock controller, you can see the large touchpad on the front where the Start and Select buttons previously resided.  In addition to the touchpad, the prototype also has audio output functionality and a large light on top.  Whether or not the true PS4 controller will look like this remains to be seen, as Sony has not commented on the picture.  We should learn more as Wednesday rolls around.

 

What’s your opinion on this controller?  Do you like the touchpad on the front?  What do you think the light is for?

"Now it seems as if we have a prototype of what the actual controller will look like once it ships."

Why would you think that? You do realize they are not SHIPPING the PS4 on the 20th, right?

EVERYTHING can change from now until the actual release date.

I changed the wording to "might" look like. I realize everything can change from now until actual release.

No no no, you said that it is the actual controller so now it's set in stone.

CHECK out this image that was SENT to ME.

DualShock3 wireless controller was expensive back when PS3 was launch, if they added lcd + touchpad to it the price would certainly be high.

If this is true, they need to make a bunch of changes by the time the PS4 ships. This is a bit too clunky and just... weird.
