I'll be happy with the same design but with the rumble feature added at launch.

SONY's controller is an enduring CLASSIC, moreso than even any nintendo controller. whereas the controller's have changed for every generation for almost every system, SONY has gone with minor changes over dramatic overhauls. the reason being, why mess with perfection?

i honestly can't imagine playing a SONY game without the two joysticks in the middle, the d-pad and of course, the SQUARE, TRIANGLE, CIRCLE and X! PS1 had the rough concept of the controller, then introduced the dualshock and force-feedback. PS2 kept the same design and only made the insides even better. PS3 one-upped it and made it wireless, however, the six-axis was a mistake and i'm glad to see SONY brought back the force-feedback for the dualshock 3. for the dualshock 4 i um... i can't really imagine anything significant to add. what else could they add at this point?

The only thing I would change is the L2 and R2. I would change them to triggers like the 360 but they would be concave and have a curve to them like a real gun trigger.

Exactly, they complain that they don't change it, they'll just complain about the new changes, I like it now and prefer it to pretty much any other controller except Xbox 360 as its probably right on par with it.

I want them to keep the analog placement, Make the L2/ R2 actual triggers not pedals. I want the analog thumb grips to be better. thats about it.

It's going to be the same or very similar. Sony hasn't change the design for hella years and I don't see them doing it with the PS4. They tried to change the controller for the PS3 before it came out, and got laughed at because the controller looked like a banana boomerang. So I think they're going to play it safe as usually with their next console's controllers.

Just change the L2 and R2 to concave instead of convex.

If they ever use staggered analog sticks i'll be quitting the Playstation brand.. absolutely hate it, they only reason i put up with it on the 360 is for Mass Effect.. keep it the same although make the triggers more like these Other than that its perfect and i wouldn't change a thing..

Keep it the same, but maybe offer different controller types like with different L2 & R2 triggers or something. That's the only thing I can think of.

copy the 360.... hell no.

Ps control design is one of the best..... even the ps1 dual shock are superior.

The only thing to improve are the texture... feel... mayby 3rd party can do it

Considering Sony is epically lazy in terms of controls, and not just for PlayStations - they have so few redesigns among their remotes for home equipment, it's not even funny... ironic from the same company that seems to have such a revision fetish for their electronics devices. :roll: Given their track record, about the one thing they'll probably do is rerelease the same as the current PS3, save with a new, better battery, stronger rumble motors, and hopefully fixed L2/R2 triggers. But knowing them, they'll find another way to screw that up. I wouldn't mind a new design either, if I wasn't expecting it to be a blatant copy of another competitor's product. Even though some things should be copied (i.e. ideas that do work), I just hope existing ps3 controls would then work still on a ps4 if they do that.
Keep it the same, why fix something that ain't broken? GridironKing
there is validity to that statement. But on the flipside, what if it is also keeping us from truly seeing a superior interface? I wouldn't mind if they chose to experiment again, as long as there is a 'fall-back' plan at the ready.

Keep it the same like it has been for last 16 years, Just put some rubber grips on the triggers for slipping issues.

"Copy the 360 controller" Who needs a brick in his hand while playing? And there are 3rd party controllers with the exact same design you can use with PS3 (and PS4, I guess).

LoL. I voted for the wrong thing. Graphics became 3D almost 2 decades ago. It's time for the controls to catch up.

I like the controller, except the trigger buttons. I know some people hate the controller, but once you get used to it its a great controller. The only thing i would fix would be the triggers and maybe make the controller broader so it fills your hands more

Concave triggers, concave sticks, perhaps the option to switch it with the d-pad depending on preference (so removeable and flippable). Also, bigger. A good 30% bigger. I could go for a split controller design too.

I prefer the PS2 controller myself. Either that or copy the Xbox 360 but improve the d-pad.

I'm satisfied with the current design, but would be very happy if it was similar to the 360 design. It's a great controller (360) for shooters.

360 controller sucks, and if you like it, they make one you can buy for the PS3, no sense bringing everyone that doesn't like it down.

There is no need to change the control. It is pretty much perfect.
