Looks more ergonomic, which is good. The existing one is too blocky.

You're right.

But Touchpads have an advantage over Touchscreens, that is that they can be used without taking your eyes off the TV. Think of it as just another button. I can see it being used to quickly switch between apps like you do on an iPhone. I'm sure devs will find uses for it in-game.

i might be okay with it if it wasn't layer after layer of fat.. Controller needs to flatten down a bit.. and WHY are the L1/R1 buttons gone.

Other than that.. seems fine... wish there was a cap to put over the mic, though.. I can see dirt getting jammed up in there.

Could you imagine going back to a controller that didn't have as many buttons as they do now. I almost feel warm and fuzzy just thinking about it... so simple. Such simple times....

I like the Dpad on the Genesis controller. It was a comfortable controller except sometimes I did not know whether to use my fingers or my thumb on the A-C buttons... The PSX D-pad didn't work because you had to put more pressure on the pad than was probably necessary if it was raised out of the casing. My d-pads became pretty worn and stiff on my older controllers I think for that reason.

The controller seems to have put on some weight, but the touch screen makes up for it. Also, I think the "share" button is actually either Select or Start, also If you look closely at the right side of the controller it also has a button above the pink square. We shall find out soon enough. :D To the hype train!

lol, I had friend that did that with fighting games. I was never good at fighting games so I thought I was doing it wrong, but when I tried with my fingers I just failed more epically.

The L1/R1 buttons are there, look again. You just can't see the triggers L2 and R2 in that picture.

I also have to disagree with the fat/flat statement. Not sure what you are getting at. A falt controller would be incredibly uncomfortable.

that made me LOL


but wait I'm known as a hater? that much of a hater?

@Roma They're only claiming you're a hater because being critical of Sony is not ok, but being critical of Ninty is okey dokey.
OT: This is similar to the Wii's motion control and PS3's six axis.

I hope the final version looks more finished. I guess it's okay after looking at it a bit more...  But, I hope it doesn't cost a million dollars.  DS3 was 50 dollars, and that thing may end up being $79.99.  If I have to pay that much, I will be the ONLY one using DS4 controllers.  If the game's not DS3 compatible, you're not playing.
