Forums - Gaming - The PS4 Controller Is The Definitive Controller For Gen8?

@Curl-6
And the Keyboard + Mouse obliterates the WiiMote. What's your point?

I think both controllers look awesome. Big improvements over last gen. I think both will do very well

But what's the point? Both systems have great controllers. There is no point to me in saying one is better than the other. It was different with DS3 and 360 but now I think it's really just personal likings.

Exactly, there is no point, not even with the difference between DS3 and 360. So what if 360 had concave triggers and the DS3 had convex L2/R2, if you wanted to play Halo you were going to do it on 360, wanted to play GT you did it on PS3. Althought, I never got why developers wanted to use L2 and R2 for racing games though, they never did until this generation, whatever happened to 'Press X to go'? It's much easier on both 360 controller and DS3 to go from A/X to X/Square then fiddle about with the triggers.

Wait... that's personal opinion again...



Hmm, pie.

I prefer the position of the Xbox controller's analog sticks. Its not comfortable to use the Playstation analogs the way they are positioned. As long as it keeps the current configuration it will never be as good as the Xbox controller and that is my opinion, however, the majority agrees with me.


Lol. No they dont. I dint know anyone that like the 360 contoller.

The stick placement of the xbox controllers does not add anything to its usability or playability. While people have gotten used to it and grown to like it in no way makes it a better placement. 

My only problem with the ps3 controller is that its a little to small. Looking at the ds4 i can tell it will be a lot better in that regard. Not sure if its beter than x1 controller, but i definitely prefer ds3 over the 360 and i play inverted with bumpers swapped on fps games

You say that the majority agrees wit you, what facts do you have to back that?  Most playstation gamers will prefer the Dualshock, most Xbox Gamers prefer there controller, the people that have both, like me, are going to be pretty evenly split.  I personally prefer the Dualshock because of the analog stick placement.  Human bodies are mostly symetric and so are your hands when you place them on a controller, your thumbs naturally want to be even with each other when using either controller.

I suppose this is an appropriate place for this.

DS4 is bigger than DS3 mainly due to fitting a decent size touch pad on.

Compared to the DS4 the XOne controller looks like a cheap toy (visually only, maybe it'll have better ergonomy I don't know).

What exactly? Colored buttons? Both. Black? Both. Analog sticks? Both. Really, enlighten us with your detailed argumentation why one is a "cheap" toy and the other isn't.

Until they move the left analogue it'll never be my preferred controller. As for the touchpad integration, it'll be a pointless gimmick, another sixaxis affair imo.


The six axis is nor a gimmick is actually very useful forshooters just wasn't used. The analog sick placement on the xbox brand of controllers was only done to be different from ps2 and is the dumbest feature of those controllers


Yeah because it was a gimmick...

You live in America and don't know one single person who likes the Xbox 360 controller? I believe you because I don't know anyone who likes the Playstation controller. Just as believable as your comment.
