I think the Steam controller should've taken some cues from the Wii U gamepad. Not making it cumbersome but adaptable; add a touch screen where you could map the extra buttons. Or where a talented modder can add a custom menu for games that are limited by traditional controllers.

Nah.. Having a touchscreen AND dual touchpads kind of defeats the purpose of main controls. Besides, who looks at controls when playing games anyway? You can probably remap all 8 buttons (D-pad and face buttons) through software. Not to mention the 2 back buttons.

The loss of the touchscreen is disappointing.

God, that thing is a D-Pad? Really? This controller is really starting to look like it will be far, far behind any of the current ones.



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Yeah saw that earlier, not impressed so didn't even bother making a thread for it, it's just a gamepad with a different analog controller now, super uninspiring.

Worst d-pad buttons ever deserves a thread..


about the same as a dual shock so meh.

Dualshock is the best DPad in existence.... If you say the 360s or One's is better I will ROFL

Better, but I still think the "circle/touchpad in place of analogs" idea is fairly terrible.

I'm guessing you've never owned Nintendo anything before....

Fuck me that controller is hideous. Way too much space is being taken up to provide track pads in place of analog sticks. It looks like doing something different just for the sake of it and not because there is any practical reason.
