Next-gen console controller wars (master race watches)

I would argue that the clickable touchpad on the ds4 is not its gimmick, that the useless light that adds PS move functions is the true gimmick It offers nothing to the controller and I see no worthwhile use for it on the controller or in games. The touchpad on the otherhand seems a worthwhile addition and can see many uses for it in games.

The 360 controller was by far my favourite controller of this gen. And the Xbone controller will improve the things that were wrong with it (like adding a better D-pad) so probably that one.

But nobody can say for sure unless they have tried all controllers and held them in their hands.

Jeezus that's the biggest ripoff of a controller I've EVER seen.  Exactly like the X1 pad.

You must be joking right ?

That or you are 13 and don't know your history of controllers.

Controllers rip off other controllers constantly. That's what makes them so great: they take the best features from other controllers.

Playing shooters on this pad will still be problematic due to the un-ergonomic analog stick positions.nameless12345

Wii-U Pro Controller > Wii-U gamepad >>> those fugly PS4 and XB1 controllers.

Xbox One - Unneccesary change to an already amazing Controller.

PS4 - Unneccesary change to an already amazing Controller.

WiiU - It has a screen. If you're talking about Pro though, finally a controller better than the Gamecube.

I don't know, but I'm mainly hoping that the X1 controller will be good to use and comfortable since I will be using it for PC. If DS4 also supports PC, that'd be great.

I don't like the touch surface on the DS4. Such a gimmick.

Never found the 360 pad to be bad. I could play P4 Arena and Braid normally with it.

It was better than the PS3 controller.

Well, From what weve seen and told, I think the PS4 controller might be the more impressive, and with the most possible functionality.

I do like the X1 controller, but from what weve been told, it has little improvement over the 360, th efeedback in the triggers so far seems to have been hit and miss, but it might not have had working software, and the fewest of us have had any real hands on with either.

The Wii U controller, simply hits me as an overall bad idea, just like I find the notion of smartglass a bad idea. That said, Nintendo allready proved that some games and gamemodes works well on that controller. It is just too big, and too unpleasent to hold for me.

I like them all... won't be able to say which one I like better til I use them all.

Good thing the Wii-U Pro Controller was annouced over a year before the Xbox One's controller was ever revealed.

It's really not a bad D-Pad I've had much worse.

For me, Sony's base controller design will always be inferior to Microsoft's due to the analog stick placement. MS's stick placement is more ergonomic and is much better for shooters. The DS4 still has the same stick placement which I hate...my thumbs constantly knock into eachother. DS4 definitely looks like an improvement on DS3, but the X1 controller looks almost perfect. Also, dat trigger feedback. Gonna be awesome.lockjaw333

Seems like a huge leap from the PS3 controller which i found a bit uncomfortable on the triggers. The X1 controller looks same old, nothing special at all except the triggers which are supposed to have individual rumble motors... which is cool, but the d-pad looks horrible as ever.

"Playing shooters on this pad will still be problematic due to the un-ergonomic analog stick positions."

That is so BS its not even funny... Your hands are symmetrical. I can't stand using that asymmetrical crap , it doesn't feel right.. TC is biased as hell too, its all subjective on how you like the controller... and talking about gimmicks..yeah..ok... rumble in triggers is gimmick too, but he doesn't even mention that....

Post it in here as well as pm'd it to nameless.

ds4 stats and info.
 

the ds4 is quite a bit bigger in all dimensions than the ds3, and it is infact bigger than the xbox dOne controller.

I'm acutally looking forward to picking up both for my PC. It looks like Sony is releasing drivers for PC day one. And of course microsoft is doing the same.

I cant find dimensions for the xbox dOne controller for some reason does any one know where to find em?
