PS4 - Time for a Redesigned Controller At Long Last?

Ive played through most top PS3 titles now, and have found ways around it. Buts its not a comfortable solution. Its playable yes, but te other design is better and provides more comfort. If you have to repostion to use a device in such a way, the next design should rectify it. It would only improve the gaming experience.

Look at the Xbox 1 controller. It was horrendous on quite a few areas. It was good to see Microsoft listen and remap the controller. Except for te god awful Dpad. Its bloody orrible for 2d games. I use te analog when Id rather use the DPAD its that bad.

 

It's really a not a big deal. It's so insignificant that most people don't even notice it after playing for a while. (I didn't even know it before you brought it up). Like I said, it only takes a few seconds to grow accustomed to it and after which, it becomes natural without you even thinking about it. I don't think such a drastic redesign is warranted because of such a minor inconvenience. Seriously, you only have to move your thumb two centimeters. I would understand if it was something even a bit major. I have never heard of anyone, PS user or Xb user, mention "bumping thumbs" as an issue for them.

Like Chark said above, it's one of those tiny differences that you'll inevitably notice when switching between different controllers.
