dual shock 3 looks exactly like sixaxsis WTF!

look i love sony and my ps3 as much as the next guy, but the new dual shock 3 looks exactly the same, just has rumble and says "dual shock 3" on it, R U SERIOUS?

honestly i dont care about rumble really, what i do care about it the quality of the material the sisaxsis is made of. U got the amzing hardware with this cheap feeling controller!

they want to keep the same design...fine! how about using better material to make it feel more sterdy, higher quality, seriously! i am no longer looking foward to the new dual shock 3 like i was! there is not really any incentive unless u really want rumble and i know there are more people that dont mind at all.

am i alone on this?

edit:

the controller i really like was the logitec wireless controller for the ps2 (i looked the same but was made very well)

u know what...i want the boomerang!!

the hell were you expecting?Absynthetic

at very least better material, so it didnt feel like a cheap controller, ps3 hardware is amazing the controller doesnt "go " with it, i look back and the boomerrang wouold have been cool!

so your on the show floor in tokyo?Absynthetic

there are links everywhere, there is a story on gamespot about this! including pictures

the reason the six-axis feels so cheap is because it's so light... with the heft of the motors it will feel much more sturdy.

I've dropped my six-axis controllers many times, and they are doing just fine. they aren't weak

youre right

and if you have read them

"The rumble itself felt around the level of PlayStation 2 rumble. We're not sure just yet if Sony is using any of that next generation technology Immersion has been talking about for the past few months."

"It also felt notably heavier than the standard Sixaxis."

Stop it.

And seriously, I don't see what the surprise is here. The Sixaxis was essentially a dualshock 2 just with a few different features.

yeah i'm not surprised either, it may feel cheap, but it works. they'll probably tighten it up a bit. wouldnt' it be cool if they released like a special edition Killzone 2 controller with a Helghast in the middle with glowing eyes instead of the PS symbol!

Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised if they do have something like a special edition Killzone 2 controller. It's one of Sony's biggest games, so it wouldn't shock me. I mean, MS just released Halo 3 controllers for the 360, if it gets a few more people to buy the product who may not have bought it before, it makes sense.

WTF did you expect it to look like?

they want to keep the same design...fine! how about using better material to make it feel more sterdy, higher quality, seriously! i am no longer looking foward to the new dual shock 3 like i was! there is not really any incentive unless u really want rumble and i know there are more people that dont mind at all.

winner-ps3

to be honest i woulda never bought a ps3 if they had lol

remember it is subject to change, its just a prototype.

i would like them to make the controller bigger with a little more spacing between the buttons (analog stick) not to start a console war but i like the 360 controller setup better. i still like the PS3 controller and played through the PS2 generation, but still.

or at least make a curve on the L2/R2 buttons like a trigger so my fingers don't slip off.

i say, bomerang!

that looked so win :P

I swear you cant satisfy anyone, wtf is the problem w/the new controller??? So what it does not have a new design, seriously does it need one? Good God people, I'm sorry but I love the six-axis controller, I like the light feeling and now that they are adding rumble hey thats even better. I just cant believe that people are acting as if the world is ending because their is no noticible cosmetic difference. If your not happy fine dont buy the new controller and thats the end of that, however give the freaking controller a chance people.....ajthelegend

If it works, why change it.

I doubt the controller is "Cheap" as you state. It's been used for many years and it works perfectly. I love the way it feels in my hands, it feels just right.

However, if you don't like the new model, (wishing it looked different), you can always buy different non Sony model.

In my opinion, nothing wrong with new one, except that at this time it's not included with PS3 systems. That's the only change I'd love to see.

:x I totally think the same. When I heard that " Sony was going to add rumble to the Sixaxis", I totally thought they were changing the complete design of the controller they've been using since PS1, also changing the material of the controller, and the color of the controller.... Damn.... I totally thought they meant "we're designing the 'Boomerang' ".....

..... WTF..... But you know what, I had enough, ....enough is enough, I'm getting rid of this damn PS3 and buy me a 360. at least their controllers are white....

:lol: lol.....stupid

I guess these kind of people like looking like morons.

Every new hate thread in this forum is filled with morons. I wish I had admin powers, these people wouldnt exist.

I personally think the new PS3 controller at the least needs to be as sturdy as the Dual Shock (PS2) controller. It's the one thing that drives me insane about the PS3 controller, it's just not sturdy enough. I don't do much twisting with the controllers in my hand, yet I can still feel the movement between the two sections of the controller - and it really just bugs me. For 50$ I expect a solidly built controller.

Just for reference, pick up one of the recent Logitech PS3 controllers - they are built well, great solid construction. It's just unfortunate that I prefer the layout of the official PS3 controller. Either way, I hope they've solved this issue with the current controller, the PS2 controller was great in terms of build quality - I'd like to see the same for the PS3.

let me ask you this........WHO THE HECK SAID THEY WHERE GOING TO CHANGE THE DESIGN OF THE CONTROLLER!!!!!!!!!!!

all we said we wonted was rumble not a change in desighn, the ds is best controller out there for any game, why would you change perfection

To prove how durable the Sixaxis controller is I got pissed while playing warhawk and chucked it across the room and hit the floor, book case, and metal chair. I took it apart to fix it and all I needed to do was put the buttons back in and VOILA! It works once again. Rumble or not... this is the best controller on the market.
