Will One of These PlayStation 4 Controllers Be the Real One?

With the PlayStation 4 announcement looming, pictures of the console’s controller concepts, patents, rumours and prototypes have been circulating. Here are some of those, in order of the most likely.

Personally, I'm loving the rumoured new controller (pictured above)

D-Pad look even more awesome
analog sticks seem more comfortable (concave + convex = stroke of genius)
Bulkier for my man sized hands!
Speaker! (can't think of a single bad thing to say about a bonus speaker)
I'm not sure about the touch pad though, seems a bit tacked on, kinda like sixaxis (fun fact, sixaxis is the exact same word spelt backwards, your mind = blown)
Built in Move. . .yeah okay I'm not sold on this one either, unles the controller does split.
Improved R2 and L2 (okay what were they thinking with the DS3 though??)
Overall it's a great improvement and has got me excited for the main console reveal. All SONY has to do now is tell me the price and whether or not they are blocking used games and I just may be sold.

I don't think it's a speaker. More like a microphone. Imagine the rubbish phone "quality" sound coming from it's mic. This won't be muich better if it was a speaker. Microphones the size of a amall coin are much much MUCH better than speakers the size of a small coin. Period.

I initially thought that too. Then I realised that a mic placed there would be constantly picking up the click of buttons/movement of the analog sticks.

They would need some kind of way to eliminate that kind of background noise and I don't think it could be done easily.

I'm not liking the rumored touchpad/touchscreen feature. Presuming the mockups are accurate, it's too small to have any valid gameplay applications and needlessly raises the manufacturing cost of the console, in my opinion.

For "actual" games that require "skill" such as fighting games, a quality d pad is needed.

3GenGames4085d ago

Only thing that looks bad to me is the sticks. That little ridge would have be digging my thumbs in there the whole time if I had that controller...plus, I bet it's annoying to lay your thunk on top of. If it isn't broke, Sony...

I remember getting an arrow imprint on my thumb from the NES D pad back in the day!

Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.
