The PS4′s prototype controller has been leaked and [Sony-gamer] will be looking at the controller with a critical eye to see how Sony has improved it for gamers.
this one looks much more comfortable than the fat prototype.
if the 1:1 motion controls of the Move are a standard part of the new controller then this could open up new possibilities, like aiming and instinctive dodging
Pretty sure it's the same controller just at a different angle.
Also what's the difference between this move functionality and sixaxis? Both move as you do, and an even bigger flaw in this one is you can't hold one in each hand comfortably.
In short, I don't think this has move built-in, unless it can somehow split in two.
I presume if the light is infact for move-like functionality, it could be used for actual positioning within space, 1:1 control, more accurate movement across axes, etc. This is in theory an improvement over Sixaxis, however I'm not sure how games would utilise it (would more than likely end up being a tacked on gimmick).
I do wonder if the inclusion is worth the cost (even if minor), if it has more limited functionality than an actual move controller (which I presume would still be released alongside this main controller)?
All in all, I can't wait for the reveal to see what truly is going on :)
the guy says "There also is a speaker in between the controller that will probably be used for notifications which could let gamers know when the receive a message without the need for an onscreen indicator." i actually never thought about that. that can be one use for the screen on the controller. up untill now i have been struggling to find a use for the screen but now hopefully there is a chance to get rid of those pesky onscreen popups that distract you when you are busy kicking arse online
It almost looks as if it has a rubber case around most of it. I actually like that cause it looks like it'll be more comfortable in the hands while giving the player a better grip.
Now it just needs some color cause right now it's a little bland. Some color would knock it out of the park in my book.
But otherwise, I'm really loving the new look the more I see it. I'm kinda hoping Sony doesn't change it now lol :)
I like it a heck of alot better than the current one, thats for sure. Always thought it was archaic and needed an update. Good you SONY for finally growing a pair and changing it, albeit just a bit.
no i don't think it is. one of the articles said something about the screen being clickable but not touch enabled and that you can click either the right of the screen or the left of the screen. its really annoying that i can't find the article but it was on N4G earlier. if there is a touch pad it is likely to be at the back.
It would be interesting if the controller's handling was soft / flabby, you know, like synthetic foam, not only for a better grip but also a smoother experience than these days plastic controllers.
However, I still deeply wish(ed) the core of the PS4 would be around that VR glove patent unveiled years ago. http://www.unwiredview.com/... I just find the idea amazing, it can open up great gameplay experiences.

edit: can't get this stupid link to work. It's from the same page as this article, few minutes earlier.
Looking at the picture it looks more like the definitive version of the new controller. Everything is there, the design is just more polished. However, the mic/speaker seems to be gone.
I like it a lot. Classic DS design, better sticks and a bit further apart making the controller a little bigger. D-pad seems to be improved over the prototype, more like the traditional D-pad but with a little bowl shape to rest your thumb on. Move and touchpad are there but they won't hinder me should I not want to use them. And if I do I won't have to buy additional controllers, it's already there. I hope there's still is a mic/speaker for those times you need to recharge your headset, just switch to the controller during online play.
i like it

You can use the Move function to move the camera or aim like on the Vita.
