PlayStation 4 Controller 1st Photos

A fold away controller would be cool... When you are finished with it, you can fold it away and slot it into the console and it takes up no space

NO WAY! That's what the 360 is for. I hate the sticks on that thing. Stick to what I'm used to since the PS1 thanks!

No, it's what gaming is for. I had offset sticks on PC, offset sticks on Xbox, and I bought offset sticks for my PS3. Been using that long before Xbox, LOL.

Why the hell would they go offset though?

Much better gaming experience for me.

It seems that there will be some sort of Move integration in the next controller.

I also hope that the grill in the front is a mic and not a speaker.
Having a mic so close will eliminate the basic need for a headset.

LMAO, why are you people even questioning if they would get rid of the analogue sticks!? That is the most ridiculous rumour ever and considering they recently made a big deal about getting two sticks on the VITA there is NO WAY they would do this.

Agreed. That route would be suicide. It's just not going to happen.

This, then just make L2 + R2 and the sticks concave,(I think it's called) space out the space between the analog sticks just a tad bit, then make the PS Button shiny like the face buttons, and lastly I think they should add some type of grip to the handles on the controller because once you sweat alot on your controller and it's been a yr or so since you had it the controller gets too slippery. After these adds the controller would be perfection.

I am hoping they put normal normal triggers on the new controller as well as make the analog sticks concave as well, similar to the original Sony Dual Analog controllers:

Yeah i bought an 8 foot nyko one shortly after buying my PS3.

Damn why didn't I think of doing this..

I still have the one that is like 3 foot long

Normal? so rhe L2/R2 are just buttons?

HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Pressure triggers are much better for various games, especially driving games. They need to be made better ( xbox for example). It would be a massive step back if its like the ps2 L2/R2.

No, No, No...I was talking about the analog sticks being concave! The L2 + R2 buttons need to stay as triggers, they just need to curve those the other way so your fingers won't slip off!

Throw the Move triggers on that bitch. Sorted

Yes, if they curved them like that it would be perfect! Maybe more like the one on the right:

Why must he hide the triggers from us!

[raremew]

I've kinda always liked the classic look that the ps3, ps2, and ps1 all had.
its looks kinda weird but not bad..

[Jakeles]

I hope they keep it pretty much the same. I really do not want the sticks in two different places. Every time I play 360 it kills my hand.

yeah same for me. Im just so used to play station xbox controllers bother me.

Well with that screen there, no chance of offset sticks now.

[Nitey]

Agree MonkeyClaw!

@new pic - the shape of the handles look kinda comfy, nice
Obv a prototype as has been said numerous times, but if that's the general shape they are shooting for, I'm cool with it

3.5mm jack is awesome. Thought it would be a 2.5 but definitely looks bigger

[Felix336]

If you got to cnet, they've got a mock up of the controller which looks like a more refined version of the controller in the leaked pictures. Like I said, it's clearly a rendering, but still interesting to look at.

[Coconut_Crunch]

I can see that being uncomfortable to use as a Move controller. While I kind of like the controller they could do a better job at this. Does anyone see the mic jack in the controller?

I don't believe this and I think it's homemade.

[Soldier 95B]

I like that share button. Though I don't know what it is for.

High contrast pic for more detail

See the mic jack in the controller. Sony is blutooth with their mics, this is why I don't believe this design.

[Nitey]

Mic jack is wonderful as it is gives us an option. It doesn't mean the console doesn't accept BT headsets

Anyway, here's a closeup:

[Jakeles]

Well with that screen there, no chance of offset sticks now.

Excellent. Hope that picture is the final( or close to it). I don't really care what the controller does or looks like just as long as they keep the sticks in one place.

[MonkeyClaw]

Everytime I see a picture of this prototype I die a little more inside...that thing looks like it was designs by Madcatz...I hope the final design is much more like the current Dualshock...guess since they are including the Move crap into the controller I can pretty much throw out my PS3 controller charge base...I think I would rather have the boomerang design than this hideous chud of a controller!
