So it turns out the PS4 does have software authentication...

1)  fix your quote trees already.  Its bad enough you make a click bait thread,  atleast show curtesy to the posting rules.

2) on the back are you serious?   you just gave more credibility to flaming weasle and thats not a good thing.  in what world are you living in that the back would be anything close to a good idea?   "hmm lets put it on the back to that to use it you need to flip the controller backwards". 

3)   I like how you conveniently forget about sony exclusives,  which is has alot.   AAA devs arent the only one who has access to the touchpad.  indie devs are also making good use of it, and first parties will without a doubt be making full use. little big planet will be a great example of engenious use, and i cant wait to see what MM does with tearaway.     3rd party devs will make use of it with features that make our life easier, and providing more controls at given points.    and as for your killzone example, you gave a way that includes using buttoms that are already used up for other features.    Plus you conveniently just dropped and ignored any mention about how its used in warthunder or ff14

1. How are you criticizing me for quote trees while doing the same thing?

2. Why would you need to flip it over to use it? Plenty of modded controllers currently in existence put buttons on the back. I've never heard of anybody having to flip the controller over to use buttons on the back. 

3. I didn't forget sony exclusives, but Sony couldn't even make a convincing case for touchpad gaming on the vita, how the hell are they going to do it on the ps4? First party devs that have used it so far have only proven that sony didn't really have a plan other than throw it on there and see what sticks. Until there is an actual real life game that does something interesting with it, it will continue to be a gimmick, that only first party devs are using. Sony's biggest first party dev (ND) probably won't even bother with it. They have enough clout that they can generally ignore gimmicks and sony won't hassle them. 

1) facepalm...    every time i put a new post i look a the quote tree, and if there is more than 3, i cut it back.  Because that the acutally a rule.  its been less enforced with bans recently, buut its still on the books, ive seen people moderated for it, and the mods hate having to cut them for you.  youve been here a while im surprised you dont know this,  but then again im not.

2)  modded controllers..  a modded controller may come out at some point for the hardcore, but the general populus would not want one on the back.  and a touch pad is not buttons, it would make it very akward to get proper control of what you are doing.    there is a reason its not on the back and sony put actual money into figureing out that its not a good idea.

3) its not about making a game that is for the touchpad, its about finding creative ways to use its inputs to enhance gameplay.  This is a very simple and fundamental concept.  and you STILL ignore ff14 and warthunder,  i wonder how many times i can bring up their use until it takes you to actually acknowledge it.  its kind of getting funny at this point.   and naughty dog havent made a ps4 game yet.  sure they made TLOU:R.   but they specifically DIDNT CHANGE ANYTHING  when it came to gameplay,   they are not going to add a new input onto something when they are trying to keep the same experience + graphics.   The fact that you try to bring that up shows you either dont pay any attention to whats going on with sony gaming, or you are intentionally trying to troll.
