Forums - Sony Discussion - We're Finally Getting a Wireless PS4 Pad Without a Light Bar

Ofcourse they were going to go down the staggered thumbstick route, I find that nearly every PS3/PS4 alternative controller does that and it makes sense because if they made it too similar to the Dualshock 4 than there is no reason to purchase one.

I personally think the light bar is essential, isn't it a requirement for some of the Playstation VR games, thats how it tracks everything via the light emitted on the Dualshock 4, the move controllers and the headset. So basically this controller is useless for PS VR.

Isn't that just a 3rd party controller licensed by Sony?

I never owned a GC or original Xbox controller either, I just knew that to be able to correct people saying in the early days of the Switch reveal they were ripping off the Xbox controller. I do own a Switch Pro controller and it feels perfectly fine. I use the left joystick and face buttons the most often so I like their placement on the top together.

I thought it was a good idea until I saw that they moved that left joy stick with the dpad.

I will probably get one... but I dont feel like i need a pro controller for now since i only play xenoblade right now



 

It ain't the greatest looking controller, and I rarely buy third party peripherals, but this one may be right up my ally. The DS4 is pretty bad in terms of battery life, and the light bar annoys the shit out of me. Also, I prefer offset thumbsticks. My DS4 loves to de-sync regularly as well. This thing solves at least two of those problems for me. I doubt that battery life is very good, as they need to keep the price down. But, hopefully it will solve the de-syncing problem as well. So, yeah, I think I'll pick one up.

In an ideal world, if MS gets out of the console business, they'll continue making controllers for other platforms. IMO, the XB1 pad is superior to all other standard, first party pads on the market. The XB1 Elite pad is the best gamepad ever made, by a mile. I'd love to buy one for PS4.... and Switch.



This is really going to hurt the bottom line of duct tape manufacturers...
