[PS4] Official PlayStation 4 Thread

This is supposedly the new control design.

"Trusted sources" are saying this is indeed the real prototype for the PS4.

too boxy

I still prefer the layout of the analog sticks on the 360 controller. All in all it looks like a fatter DualShock.

Interested to see how useful this LED screen is going to be utilized by developers.

I'd rather Sony put left analog stick where the d-pad is.

Whoever makes a 3rd party controller closest to the Dual Shock (if Sony doesn't let you use the Dual Shock 3/make a Dual Shock 4), will get quite a few ducats it seems.

I just watched that movie last night.

They need to make the controller out of something unbreakable so I can throw it against the wall when I play Madden

I forget who the manufacturer is, Mad Catz maybe?, but they make a tournament level controller that allows for almost every part to be interchanageable. It's like $100 so I'm not saying that MS or Sony needs to make something that crazy but giving people the option to switch where the sticks and D-pad are for instance, if you prefer the layout of a 360 controller over PS3, or vice versa, would be an amazing idea out of the box.

I don't see any functionality from a screen on a controller. Any ideas?

EDIT....it's apparently a touchpad, not an LED screen.

BOUGHT one for a friend for christmas one of those pro ones. It was a Fusion something. Wasnt 100 though, it was cheaper. He likes it a lot.

Yeah, MadCatz MLG Pro Circuit Controller. Great idea, but fuck paying $100 for a controller lol.

Another look.

Looks like they tried adding a little thickness like the Xbox controller. Maybe now it won't feel like a Fisher Price toy in my hand.

 

[TeflonDonny]

is that a head phone jack on the bottom

Looks like it to me. Maybe they are considering shipping with a mic like the box.

PlayStation 4 will stream PlayStation 3 games - Report

The PlayStation 4 will be able to stream PlayStation 3 games over the Internet, according to a report published by The Wall Street Journal.

Citing sources "familiar" with Sony's plans, the WSJ reports that "the new technology, to be unveiled Wednesday along with the new console, will allow users to play games delivered over the Internet, these people said. The streaming service, they added, is designed to use current PlayStation 3 titles on the new console; the new device is also expected to play new games stored on optical discs."

The WSJ adds that streaming support in the PlayStation 4 comes alongside "other enhancements to bolster its position on the market," but does not go any further into what these might be.
