New sony controller ?

[version]

or what ?

Patent

 

[jvd]

Can already tell you I hate it . They better make a lefty version of that asap

 

[Nirey]

Version, why do this?

 

[BOOMEXPLODE]

I don't think they'll change the DualShock much in PS3. Well, their was that lawsuit about force feedback, so the rumble might change, but other than that it will probably be the same.

Unfortunately, I agree.

Kind of puts the comments by a certain Nintendo exec regarding the ever increasing complexity of controllers being a bad thing for the industry in perspective eh?

p.s.: Can you fix the link so it doesn't stretch the forum page?

Patent

Having to place the Contoller on a Desk or your feet == inacceptable. Though it surely will beat any Pad when it comes to FPS`ses.


Theres nothing wrong with the Dualshock 2, why change it.

becaues according to the law it is illegal for them to continue making it as is and has been for some time

I'm pretty sure we'll get a more DS2-like controller. Maybe this is another controller for something else. Maybe a certain games, etc, you know, something.

Doesn't that just apply to the rumble tech. in the controller?
Not the design/appearence of the controller itself.....

but the tech itself , it will no longer be a dual shock with out a dual shock component

Still no reason to alter the shape. Its a proven design - IMO the best Controller, could be a bit bigger and the left Analog Stick is 98% unused - but still replacing the Pad with a "Desk-Controller" is stoooooopid. If thats an optional Accessory its fine though.

Who knows they could replace the oh-its-so-innovative-and-patentworthy-unbalanced-weight Rumble with Electro-Shocks -> still a DualShock

Hehe, still they can license the tech or come up with their own alternative. Maybe they can upgrade it some, without straying too far away like the picture up top.....

It's an antiquated design that many people wouldn't mind seeing dumped. Besides, a new controller design can make for new gameplay experiences.

Not everyone agress with that . I personaly though while the superness controler was proven and was not a bad controler adding fins and 4 extra buttons (two shoulds and two anlog sticks ) does not make it the best controller .

Chances of Sony putting that on the market 0%

 

[gurgi]

Sony will innovate with the Quad Shock!

Who are these people who'd like to see the design dumped? I'd like to find another control that puts 8 buttons so easily within reach. IMO, they just need to stiffen the sticks a little, maybe improve the tactile feel of the sticks too (I like the concave tips on my Dual ANALOG) controller better than the Dual Shock. And maybe they can modify the shape a bit to be a bit more ergonomic. But I honestly can't see what's wrong with it.

My favorite controller would have the GC/Wavebird shape, the PS2 button layout and the Xbox's analog sticks. And make the L2/R2 buttons into triggers. I'd buy that for a dollar. But changing the design b/c it will add new gameplay experiences should be filed under the "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it department." PEACE.

 

[DuckThor Evil]

Well they definately need to change the position of the left analog stick, it's reall ankward, I think that Xbox and Gamecube controllers are better, though I like Dual shock's d-pad.

That's just an excuse for mediocrity.

"If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it department."

Same as above.
