PS4 controller to include LCD touch screen, biometric sensors?

i want the classic old buttons no LCD shit
and whats the point of having a LCD on a controller we not gonna look at our controller while playing our games

LCD touch screen on a controller? What is this? WII U?
At this point Durango is a way better choice (PERSONALLY)

I just hope it has the pressure sensitive buttons because we all know what a paradigm shift that was for gaming when PS2 came out. Yeah... I'm kidding.

no need for this, the ps2 game days were best...even the motion controller is too over the top and not needed...keep it simple to what made video games awesome and fun to begin with....they are trying to change things with games too much and theres no need to be fixing something thats never been broke...i dont like where games are heading

Please god no. I bought a Wii U and ended up returning it to Wal-Mart because the controller is just to heavy for long play sessions. Plus, I feel ripped off having half the price of the console invested in the controller. No thanks Sony.

Please Make a good ol console with easy to use and easy to develop strategywith subtitle technological and ergonomic improvements over PS3 and Good Graphic power and Huge Ram/Rom that's ALL !

A touchscreen is good allows for less dumbed dowb games cause you have more buttons specially for rpgs etc.

But biometrics - i find this bollocks. It doesnt make any sense, What if you are sick and have a higher tempereature for a week? what if you have a conidiotn like me where you have a higher heartebat and blood pressure as a standard? its a stupid nonsensical gimmick that cant work cause people have different body function parameters

I like the DS3, maybe some minor improvments are needed such as increased sensitivity and making it a little (15%) bigger. As for the buttons i like them where they are. The one thing i did like about the Wii mote was that had speakers. I think that would be cool have on both PS4 and nextbox. They would really add depth to games, especially horror games.

@CRAPCOM1926 @megatronx2 shutup and stop putting politcs in gaming your trying to hard. I game to have fun not moan and whine about every little thing. Also stop telling developers how to do their jobs.

I see a gloomy horizon for next gen consoles, very shady an unpleasant. I think they've used up all their innovative ideas in hardware developments and are now scratching the bottom of the barrel for scraps. Sad, just sad...

More pandering to the casual crowd, it seems. I hope this is wrong. And I hope the new Xbox won't be like this.

Remember the original ps3 batarang and the sixaxis?, well apparently Sony does not, their efforts should solely be on making PSN not so freaking backwards thought out in regards to account creation and management

Everything I hear about the next gen consoles makes me want them less...

bad MOVE ON Sony's END, They should keep the current Dual Shock, but just ad a sensor....

Copy Nintendo again eh Sony?

In the end is cool to have others consoles with a pad controller, games like Comand & Conquer that is an RTS (generally only goes to Xbox or Ps) will be better than play in the PC!

Please don't change the DS Sony. It's perfect IMO.

15 years is a good run, it's about time. I know it is an icon now as well as a controller, but right now it's just the most ergonomically uncomfortable controller of the bunch.

Wonder what the new controller will look like? Dreamcast controller, maybe?

The Dualshock should have been replaced for the PS3... but to replace it with something with a touch screen is just wrong.

NAW NAW!!!!! me wan bwain sensor sumthin in mah contwoller sho i ken prei SAO or AW

@WantYouBad yeah the move has no software to back it, is a good idea and does look pretty funky at night. Your right Sony will push the price up with a tablet screen, maybe as an optional extra. i dunno. Many of us are used to the six axis controller, i think changing it will be a bad idea. Though i understand the hardware needs to progress. it ll b interesting to see what develops

Dualshock 3 with upgraded triggers, a little lip at the bottom is all that's needed. Controller is great: lite weight, quick charge time, no removable batteries needed, great range for large rooms. I would like to see a controller design made for fps games (and others of course)

I would be fine with a small 2-3" screen that allows customization button controls and adjustments like sensitivity, also select start, and a few quick menu option like, weapons, maps, armor, etc instead of having to go deep into a menu.

The main shape and size of the controller would not change, Although a larger controller would be great for me, my hand feel crowded on the ps3. Please dear god move the right stick down and not in the same plane as the left.

For games I would like it to have none important gaming information displayed- things that you do not have to glance down at the controller constantly. But say for rpgs quests, inventory, stats - that would be great.

Sports game a great way to pick your plays, shooters, great way to pick you load outs, and it could even be used like a tri-corder or PDA like device in adventure games. There are a ton of great ideas it could be used for and it would not take a high end ipod touch tablet but more like a cheap pda or touch screen phone. It does not have to have retina display just enough to read text and colors.

Also - 50-60 dollars for a controller is ridiculous for this generation official licensed product, they are making 60% or more overhead in profit. At least a 50-60 next gen controller with a screen in it would be worth it, that or make a simple controller for 50% less.

There was a small screen pda thing for the dreamcast controller and it was awesome, games like skies of arcadia used it for some great content. But the idea of a Wii U controller sends shivers down my spine.

One word: Vita

You'd think sony would have learned from the sixaxis that gimmicks aren't going to cut it.

Crossing my fingers for a simple dualshock 4 with better trigger design.

hey hey sony and microsoft take your time and release the consoles with out hardware issues. sony has a pretty good track record but if they try to rush ps4 out the door to beat microsoft and screw it all up its going to hurt them pretty bad. i hope they come out last again but less than a year after 720 ...lol it would be great if they came out the same month. not great for my pockets though..

Yeah...no....

why they just don't co-op with each other and give out one console it can be a new thing u know

um no i want a contoller not something big and bulky with a freaking touchscreen or lcd in it....

I prefer the DualShock to any other gamepad because I have small hands.

I don't get the purpose of biometric sensors. If your heart rate goes too high do they have a built in screensaver with cute bunnies eating carrots in a field to bring it back down? I mean your sitting on your couch for god's sake, you're not going to pass out from getting too excited about any game.

What i'm concerned is if it will be at a consumer friendly price. The Dualshock 3 costs around 50 bucks now but for something with these feaatures, hope it doesn't surpass 90 dollars.

But I just want buttons.

The dual shock needs to be updated and made more ergonomic, in it's current form it's uncomfortable even for short periods and really isn't catered to people with larger hands. It needs to be more like the 360 controller.

I'm ok with it as long as they still support the dualshock.
