Say Goodbye to DualShock

We’ve heard tons of rumors about the new PlayStation over the last few weeks, most of which center on when exactly Sony will admit that it’s working on a console and reveal it to the public. But here’s something a bit more specific: A source for CVG has indicated that the PS4’s new controller won’t look much like the DualShock controller we’ve all come to associate with the brand.

 

dual2

 

The basic gist is that Sony is still testing controller designs, and the great majority of them aren’t based on the DualShock layout. Another source has hinted that the new controller is aimed at integrating some of the “interface philosophies” as the PS Vita. The most likely interpretation of this statement is that Sony might have a touchscreen on its new controller, but naturally there’s no way to be sure.

 

Oh, and here’s the other big rumor: A reveal is coming in weeks. Not months.

 

Thoughts?

Every time sony is working on a new console this rumor has gone around. The over all design will end up being nearly identical to the one we have come to know and love, but if they want to include some Vita like features, it will have a small LCD touch screen where the start/select buttons currently are and a touch pad on the back. The select and start buttons would make sense below the L and R analog sticks.

Thank god, the DualShock design is terrible and the analogue sticks aren't properly for the human hands to control it.

Stick to Dreamcast's design, which has been improved from time to time by Microsoft and Nintendo.

For DualShock's defence, the PS2 DS was actually pretty good but then Sony screwed and downgraded it with PS3 DS.

i never had a problem with the location of the sticks. The buttons are in a perfect place, but you'll have to move your thumb to use the right stick, so no matter how you rig up the controller, something will not be completely ergonomic. Get over it.

Just because your hands are big and can't hold a controller doesn't make it terrible. But then again you hate everything about the Sony platform.

This again? They said the same exact BS the last time. Which caused an assload of bogus rumor designs like the boomerang controller.

the controllers will be dumbed down Vita's with 1gb flashed storage via Bluetooth and respective L2+R2 buttons

Personally I love the DS3 the way it is. No need to redesign.

It is natural for things to evolve. So a little change is a good thing. :-)

As long as they don't completely abandon the dual shock's basic core design, I'm all for it. :lol:
