Then you're obviously not paying attention subtleties even though I might have slightly exaggerated by saying its the PS3 and PS3 controller in one. In retrospect I would say it was kind of like them both in one, but more of a hint of what mattered in the 360 than a full blend. What I meant to say was I feel like the PS4 controller as far as ergonomics has the shooters covered from the back grip to trigger area covered similarly to the 360 where it counts. Its much, much better for shooters. Akin to the 360 the back grip has less of an arch than the DS3 which allows the hand to properly rest on the slight curve in the mold rather than a dramatic arch.  I dont feel the old DS feeling when I touch the controller. PS4 controller has a more circular palm grip which fits to the hand, which no DS controller had before. The Xbox one also changed the shape to a better form fit for the palm than even the DS4, but the button layouts were left wanting after such a great design change for the better. If you were to put the DS3 and the 360 controller together that would be essentially the PS4. The tip of the wings of the bottom of the controller also feel more rounded  rather than going into a cone like shape like they used to now its like a cylinder. The DS4 also feels larger in your hand than the DS3 and more shapely to the touch. Pay attention to ergonomics. If a third party were to put rubber grips on it that DS4 it would feel almost perfect, especially if it had gel grips. The Xbox one controller doesnt even need a grip sleeve because its formed perfectly for the hand (even better than the 360 in that way) but the DS4 benefits more overall after that little adjustment.

 

 


At first you said I wasn't looking hard enough, or not paying attention.... Then, I think you end up basically agreeing with what I said? Lol, anyhow, I never thought the ps3 controller was bad, just too small. Your gif transformation shows exactly what I said, the ds4 is a larger ds3... Albeit one that is slightly altered. So, I think we agree, nothing 360 about it, just a much better, larger rendition of the ds3, which is great.

The side of the DS4 is akin to the Xbox 360 controller for grip. Remember when I said a slight curve rather than the typical dramatic arch like the traditional DS controller, met with the back triggers? This allows the hand to rest unlike the traditional DS controllers and the form is softer and more shapely to the touch. Just perfect for FPS. There are other changes as well, but the most dramatic is the back and side of the controller to be better for competitive shooters. Look at the morph gif.



Guys.

Watch them quote trees.

Thanks.

I would have to say yes, though I still hold a special place in my heart for the SNES controller, the Genesis 6 button controller, the Logitech PS2 wireless controller, and the Logitech wired PS2 controller.


When the Genesis 6 button controller was released, OMG, I was in in controller heaven......

Yeah, as soon as I realized I didn't have to press Start to use kicks in Street Fighter II anymore, I nearly lost my mind. And I could finally beat my brother who got his six button controller before me. plus, I think the six button controller still has the best D-Pad in the history of controllers.



I am the Playstation Avenger.

   

Dying Light is going to be F'n EPIC with the DS4 controller. Im calling it now.
