Do you think sony is smart for not changing their controller for their entire like videogame system lifespan(or whatever its called)

I think their smart for doing it

but not smart for changeing the controll scheme for some games and so that you can change it to what your use to.

It's getting boring now I would like something different with the PS4.Chrome-

Again i say, 'Why fix what isnt broke?"

Growing up with the same controller, ive gotten used to gaming with it. Its better on my Hand-eye co-ordination too, since i already pre-mapped the controller in my head, faster reflexes. I can just jump straight into any game, and pretty much know what button would do what.

i like the small changes they made with each iterations of the controller, only thing left is to put more resistance on the analogs.

I think that keeping the overall dimensions of the DualShock consistent for the past 3 generations has been both good and bad, but mostly good. The design is comfortable first and foremost. Sony DOMINATED the last 2 generations, with over 200 million consoles sold. I would estimate at least 500 million people have held a PlayStation controller in their hands. It's easy to pick up and play that way.

There have been small tweaks with the angle of the thumbsticks and pressure of the buttons, but no major changes.

That said, I wouldn't mind a change if they decided to make one. I find a way to adapt.

In a word, yes.

i think they need to implement the 360 trigger system or at least make it so that its comfortable and easy for me to use my index finger and middle finger at the same time.. oh and tighten up the analog sticks

other then that the dual shock 3 is perfect

I would hate the trigger shoulder pads like the 360 controller, but thats just personal taste.

Yes, i really like the controller the way it is.

I like the DS3but they should make it a little bigger it seems like it was built for Asian hands.

they couldve changed the sticks do be indented and have a grip like the 360s...because you have to use them a lot more now due to the games out and sometimes on long gaming sessions(or short intense ones) your hands get sweaty and your thumbs slip off....i like the set up and everything else though that can stay....

Not a big fan of the 360 triggers, but I too loathe the awkwardness (and slipperyness) of the L2 and R2 buttons. However, the real trigger extentions are effing amazing. I can't play without them anymore. They're available at Gamestop, Bestbuy, Walmart, etc. I HIGHLY recommend them!

No, we know EXACTLY what Sony might think up

I think it's fine.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"

Best controller ever, I wish it stays the way it is forever.

In fact, I hate how DS3 changed the trigger buttons to resemble the 360 controllers. Should have stayed the same like the R1/L1 buttons.

I've always prefered it.

controller is nice, but it wouldnt hurt making some minor tweaks....such as the slippery triggers, analog placements, and the material used on the analog sticks.

I used to play MGS2 & MGS3 on PS2... When MGS4 came out for PS3 it was very hard for me to use that control sheme... Now I can't play MGS1 and MGS2 because of the controls of MGS4... I think, that konami was smart to change the controls... Now Snake can do more moves...ks1990steelman

get the REAL TRIGGERS and the DS3 becomes close to perfection.. just a little more resistance on the analog sticks

Its better to stick with the old because you never know.. the new design could be unergonomicGeneralHawx

I think the PS3's controller should have been accompanied with a design more accustomed for first person games. The way the joysticks are now, first person games are still totally playable, but they're not as easily playable as maneuverable as they could be. Even the orignal Xbox had the perfect joystick placement nailed, and the 360's controller really perfected everything with grooves that fit the relief of one's grasping hand, neither of which are things the PS3's controller boasts. Now I don't think the PS3's controller is bad per se, its just not comparable to the far superior 360 controller in mine, and most other's opinions (I'm not a fanboy btw, I don't even own a 360). The least Sony could have done was take advice from the original Xbox, and changes the joystick placement, but they didn't. and I can't really knock 'em for not copying their competitor, so whatever, I guess we'll have to live with the way the controller is now. Maybe next gen.

i like the dual shock 3 the way it is i dont have any problems with it, besides why fix somethin that aint brokenJoKeR_421

well the triggers are horrible. Whoever thought that up should have been fired i mean its so bad that alot of fps games default to R1 being the fire button. Also another thing that's wrong with it imo is the stick placement. After playing with the xbox setup for all these years i have to say its much better and just feels so much more natural. The rumble could probably use a step up too. I mean if you only own the ps3 you probably dont notice but ive personally noticed that 360 controllers pack much stronger vibrations.

Now really the only thing they should have changed this gen is the triggers i really dont have a big problem with the other stuff.

Thats exactly how i feel about it.

i think its perfect

I think the DualShock is the number one gamepad design ever.

I like the DS3but they should make it a little bigger it seems like it was built for Asian hands.
