Looks a lot more like a Xbox controller now and that is a good thing for me as I highly prefer the X-box controller.
Well, people mainly prefer the xbox controller..due to the thumb sticks location (being more apart)......the PS5 controller still has the usual stick placement. So the comfort isn't there.
My only issue with the controller is that the thumb sticks should be more apart...make the controller wider if you have too. It's why i prefer the xbox controller more. Still looks nice tho.
@hardwenzen: because asymmetrical is nonsense and not what most PS gamers apparently want. Glad they Didn't cave to the worst part of the Xbox design besides the crappy d-pad

You know it is funny that you said that cause I really never thought about it. I just picked up my x-box controller and my Switch Pro controller and they are placed the same, but my Ps4 controller is spaced really close together. That is super interesting. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe that is why I like my X-box and Switch Pro controllers so much more.
Well it does look more comfortable then their previous controllers with the contour of the handle grips. Still looks somewhat “meh” and I still don’t care for the analog stick placement. I find the asymmetrical layout to be much more comfortable.
@zaryia: Aw, no threads about upcoming PC hardware out there? Feeling a little left out?
That's typically not a thing, and is rare. Mostly because it's the norm and nothing note worthy. Expect to see the next Nvidia series in winter, and it'll take a dump on this little toy. But no one will care, because it's business as usual.
IE: Stepping on an ant doesn't make the front news.
Not a fan of the white, but otherwise it looks pretty cool. It looks slightly beefier than DS4 from the picture (and the DS4 was already a bit more solid feeling than the DS3).
Hopefully it has a more ‘solid’ and weighty feel to it. The other controllers tend to feel a bit light and hollow. I also hope the triggers feel a bit better as well but they’ll probably be the same unfortunately.
I like the new controller. Looks sleek. I don't mind the symmetrical sticks but I much prefer asymmetrical. I don't have a problem switching between the two though.
I do prefer this color scheme though; looks better than the one showed in my opinion.

I'm sure Sony will have color scheme options on launch day but that black one is more appealing.
Literally looks like a Xbox controller with neutral analog sticks.
Unfortunately the analog stick layout is still retarded. Every time I hold a PS controller I feel my life energy drain. It’s so unnatural and unnecessary. For year people have been begging them to offset the analog sticks.
Instead, they copied the design of Xbox, but kept the analog sticks neutral. Dumb.
I'm one of the few people who couldn't care less about controller aesthetics. Does it work? Does it not have inherent manufacturing defects? Does it have long battery life?
@faponte13: We dont know yet. Sone folks in NeoGaf are going crazy assuming there is no 3.5mm headphone jack. At this point we don't now. It's quite obvious Sony purposefully left out pics of the bottom and back of the controller. Only time will tell uf there will be back triggers and a 3.5mm jack.
Don't worry I annihilated Piss 3 and Piss 4 before they came out too. I predicted PC would win GS and be the better experience for 99% of major games and it was. Kids toys are not for me.
@Planeforger: My right thumb is on the control stick 90+% of the time. If what you say is true, then the right control stick should also be above the buttons.

@hardwenzen: I was thinking the same thing.
When you're holding this controller, your right thumb naturally rests on the buttons, and your left thumb naturally rests on the D-pad. You have to extend your thumb to use the analogue stick, which has always been a bad design choice.
I understand Sony has to try to look different, but I wish they would fix their flawed design.
lol No. That sounds so uncomfortable. I'm glad they kept it the same. My hands are symmetrical, the controller should be, too.
I disagree. For the majority of games, your left thumb will be on the analogue stick (for movement) and your right thumb will be on the buttons (for actions) - so you want those two to be symmetrical.
I guess there are some genres (like FPS) where you'd want to be using the right analogue stick more, but most games I play on the PS4 care more about the action buttons than the camera controls.

@SolidGame_basic: Does the switch pro controller get 40 hrs with rumble on? If so, that ridiculously good and good news for the new controllers.
Yes, the Switch pro controller has a crazy-good battery life. You can play entire RPGs while only charging it once or twice,
Controller looks great minus the white, hopefully we can get an all black or another solid color at launch, otherwise looks like an upgrade to my personal favorite controller this gen.
