Another Look At The Rumored PlayStation 4 Controller

UPDATE:

A new shot of the supposed controller has been released over at All Games Beta.

ORIGINAL STORY:

We're just six days from Sony's big press event, which means we may be less than a week from our first official look at the new PlayStation. Predictably, rumors have been flying in recent days. One such rumor from Destructoid involves the picture you see above. It's been making the rounds online, with some claiming that it's the new console's controller.

It looks like a touch screen has been put in place of the traditional start and select buttons, but it's a bit too small to offer gameplay on the level of an iPad or Wii U GamePad. If this image is legit, it'll be interesting to see what the screen is used for.

Hopefully, we'll get some concrete answers next Wednesday. What do you think...is it for real?

It looks a little uglier than the standard Dualshock, but it doesn't look like it FEELS very different. Aside from the analog sticks, of course. This looks like a natural step in evolution for the controller.

Calling it now: The "touch screen" will be used for Let's Tap 2.

I hope that you can still use PS3 controllers for games that don't use the touch panel. PS3 controllers were $60 bucks each and you couldn't play with PS2 controllers without an adapter even though they were the same thing. It's interesting, but a little touch panel doesn't excite me at all, and I don't want to have to pay tons of many for new controllers AGAIN.

That's not so bad it looks kinda cool
by Noble Six Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:29 PM

Why does everyone keep reporting it as a touchscreen when almost every rumor states it's a touchPAD? Almost all rumors states it is a touchpad similar to that of the Vita's.

If that's their controller, I'm definitely more excited to see what Microsoft has planned.
by David Sheltren Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:31 PM

That controller needs to go on a diet.
by Robert Quinones Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:32 PM

those nubby analog sticks make me feel strange. Also it looks like it has a light on the top similar to the move controller.

How do you know it's a touchscreen? Could just be a VMU
by Andrew Marcos Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:33 PM

Since Sony has trouble keeping secrets, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the controller. Not a bad looking controller either.
by GSWarriorsFan Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:34 PM

I do dig the new analogs, but so far that screen seems gimmicky. It's pretty small, and seems more fitted to be a VMU rather than touch.
by NoMoreHeroes621 Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:34 PM

Hmm. I mean the overall look of the controller is pretty much the same I just don't get why they have the touchpad on there in the first place (there are also little speaker holes below it). In a 2nd look, that d-pad, looks HORRIBLE. I know the Dualshock 2 or whatever has a terrific d-pad, but that just looks as bad as the 360 d-pad. This image probably isn't even legit.
by A7X ADDICT Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:34 PM

A wired controller? C'mon now. Obviously fake.
by Chris May Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:35 PM

Interesting its kinda like an updated dreamcast VMU. (that's what it's called right?)
by GONE Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:35 PM

seems legit
by ynoT0312Taz Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:35 PM

I expected the controler to be... Thinner and less cheap looking.
by xPixelatedx Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:38 PM

So let me get this straight. They add in a touch screen, almost the size of a few buttons, just so they can have a virtual button...

Sure, ok... Slowly backing away now.
by maeso22 Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:39 PM

My guess for the touchscreen, if this is legit, is that it will act like the PS button, pausing the game and bring up the xmb on the touchscreen instead of the tv, or at least something along those lines.
by Foxmann250 Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:40 PM

Hmmmm... not feeling it... If anything they should add a touchpad on the rear so that it will act similar to a Vita. That way the Vita could also be implemented as a PS4 controller.
by The Brain Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:40 PM

At least we know it will be better than what Microsoft has to offer.
by Grayle Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 02:41 PM

Oh boy, I can't wait to hear how much one of those beauties are going to be to replace.
