Next-Gen Face-Off: DualShock 4 vs. Xbox One Controller

GenGAME writes: "Controllers. They’re one of the key factors in any game console purchase decision. Do they have the right balance of features for all your gaming needs? Are they comfortable and intuitive? Do they come at the right price? With Xbox and PlayStation consoles, there’s usually not a lot of variation, but how the controllers feel is still extremely important."

I like the DS4 a tooooon more. The touch pad is interesting I can't wait to see how devs use it and the speaker on the controller reminds me of the wii which I really liked. Plus every SKU comes with a head phone!(like the 360 but unlike the Xbox One). It's bigger and looks very steady. The trigger are perfect as well.

Well I have not actually held the DS4 controller to say if it is better than the X1 controller.

But when I base the difference on the images and videos and other peoples reactions, it is safe to say that the DS4 is a better controller.

The LightBar and TouchPad are definitely the best additions to the DS4 and add a lot of possibilities for the developers and same are already utilizing these features. The L2 and R2 triggers are a big improvement and so is the sticks.

The X1 has some nice features like the magnetic triggers and the vibration in the triggers, that is quite cool.

But in the end the PS4 has the most improvements and additions

Im curious on what will developers do with the touchpad. Maybe it will turn out to be a success or it might turn out like the Sixaxis feature in the DS3 controller.

Now for me personally, Im liking the Xbox controller mainly because of the rumble in the trigger buttons. Im really curious about this feature because it sounds really awesome.

"Im curious on what will developers do with the touchpad. Maybe it will turn out to be a success or it might turn out like the Sixaxis feature in the DS3 controller"

NO it will NOT

Watch Dogs, Killzone, Destiny, DriveClub, Batman: AO and many other games are already using this feature. I quite liked the sixaxis feature when I used it on my PC games. Also the touchpad s a great addition.

Yes the X1 ruble in the controller is a nice feature but there is something I do not like about that because when I play games and the controller rumbles for a long time with out stopping, my hands kinda feel weird and they feel numb and so does my fingers so I am kinda worried about that

I_am_Batman3952d ago (Edited 3952d ago )

I think the touchpad would be great for RTS and MOBA games as well. Maybe we'll finally get some decent rts controls on consoles. It'll be great for non gaming stuff like browsing the internet as well.

legendoflex3952d ago

I actually do like the DS4 a TOOOOOOON more, but I'm a bit biased against the Xbox controllers' asymmetrical layout, so I couldn't let that dominate the article.

Next year will be 2014 , and Xbox 1 controller will use and require AA Batteries for the next 8 years ! I will go will PS4 DS4 controller it's rechargeable and it will last for 38 hour ! That's what I am talking about ! That's a technology my friends .

Elit3Nick3952d ago

the xb1 controller can use rechargeable packs instead of AA like the 360's. IMO I prefer the option of a replaceable battery for extended wireless play instead of having to go wired or switch to a charged controller.

UNGR3952d ago

Rechargeable battery packs get worse every time you charge them. Why do people even complain about a controllers source of power? I usually get a special kit for all of my controllers that lets me drop them in and they charge. I don't want to change batteries all the time, but I don't want a life line to my console either. Fanboys seriously need to stop with this pointless comparison.

tracyllrkn3952d ago

Or when you get off the game, you can charge it. So when you get back on, it'll be fully charged.

aNDROiD17_3952d ago

just by looking at the DS4, i can tell its going to feel amazing. and i dont care what the light bar does its just going to look really cool especially at night

NavydAd3952d ago

XBOX ONE 1 Controller is the best if its anything like the 360

ThyPizzaGod3952d ago

Im very curious as to see What the 40+ enhancements on the X1 controller are. The DS4 already looks comfortable. Too have the controllers in my hands will be my final verdict. Excited!

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx23m ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B5h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21835h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh5h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia5h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins5h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal4h ago

The first game was the best imo.
