Don't fuck with what works. See: PS3 boomerang controller debacle.

I wonder if we'll see any on-stage demos today? At the very least I'm expecting a 5 minute launch/near-launch game trailer mashup.

Disagree. The controller is the key to user experience. MS spent a great deal of time to come up with the XBox controller which borrowed from just about everyone they corrected there "Size" issues and basically had to his there 3rd controller before getting it right. Wiis entire success was based on its controllers , XB leapt ahead with Kinect and its usage. PS has been stuck with PS move and a 20 year old controller design. They cant get it right. The sticks need to move , the shoulder buttons are god awful , and the damn [] button had me hitting start all the damn time. I would imagine false touch screen hits is going to be an issue as well. As Leftwich said who cares if it looks like something else.
I really want a PS this time around but ugh Ive just hated the controller for so long.

I'm not completely against this controller. They've beefed it up a little bit, which is nice b/c the Dualshock feels so cheap. My biggest problems were the lack of real triggers and the convex sticks. At least they changed the sticks to the concave style. The triggers are improved a little bit, but they still aren't proper triggers. I don't mind the stick placement at all. I do prefer the Xbox stick placement, but it doesn't bother me either way. Overall it's not bad, I'm mostly glad that they seemed to have beefed the controller up a little bit.

Btw, very excited for this evening.

So what are everyone's predictions? PS4 reveal, Vita price drop, couple decent Vita game reveals. Are we getting any PS4 game reveals that we haven't already seen?

 

[jms493]

I think we will see form factor, controller, specs, PS eye stuff, sizzle reel. Some Vita Stuff...I PRAY!!

No Price, no Release Date, no Move stuff, and no Online stuff.

That's pretty much a virtual certainty that we don't get that info until at least E3. We'll get some Vita stuff. They just did price drop and a bunch of game reveals for Japan this week, no reason that they wont do the same stuff for the rest of us tonight.

Btw Im not going to believe spectator modes until I see them. Ive been playing online since XBand in 1994. Ive been promised spectator modes forever and I think in 20 years its only happened once or twice.
Heck even in Madden they used to cut away during your game and show a key play from other games. Am I the only one that actually wouldnt mind watching others play ?

The last one :dead:

I don't know if anyone else is doing one, but IGN is doing a pre-show an hour before it starts.
