Forums - Sony - New Dual Shock 4 controller confirmed

Barkley on 19 June 2016

I can't really think of anything I'd want changing.... everything is fine, unlike a lot of people I don't have a problem with battery life, it lasts about 6 hours and it only takes about 20 minutes to charge the thing. Haven't had the problem with the analogue sticks either.

Sony fixed the peeling analog stick problem a while back. My Darth Vader DS4 controller's sticks are doing just fine.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Ditch the ridiculous light, or at least enable them to be switched off, get a controller without the ridiculous swipe section and the useless Share button as well. It really is a fairly bad controller compared to the DS3. And the sticks are too small and feel wonky as well.

I think you'll find that you are in the minority saying that the DS3 is worse than the DS3. Every time I go back to the DS3 I am reminded how old and horrible those controllers are.

Share button is perfectly fine, it does what it says on the tin. The Swipe is good for quick typing and certain types of games. The light is a requirement of any games using the camera, and will probably be essential for VR.

So much so I use my DS4's on my PS3.

I'm curious to see what it looks like.

I'm hoping for a DS4 elite controller with customizable features like changeable components.

Like these SCUF customizable controllers.

Ya but for much less than a scuf!

Just give it longer battery life and that's good enough for me.

I have 4 DS4 controllers so im ok with switching it whenever my battery is running low but some people may only have just the 1 DS4 controller and that would be a pain to plug it in so often.

HOLY SHIT...... This is absolutely nuts if true:




The patent seems to display swapable buttons/sticks/dpad..... Or at least multiple variants with different configurations....


I don't know what this feature on the rear is...

One of the configurations shows a Wii U type analog stick setup. Very strange. Is Sony going to make different configurations?
