I read in EGM that the PS3 controller may be changed, again. Anyone else hear about this? If Sony does indeed plan on changing it, I hope they make it everything the Wiimote is not. Still, I wouldn't get my hopes up. Sorry, I have no news or links or anything.

i dont have a huge problem with the ps3 controller, but a new model would be cool. One tailored more for fps, at least another one to give more options

i think the r/l2 buttons are rubbish. it should have been the r/l1 buttons that had the increased depth. i keep hitting these by accident and screwing up my game.

however, k2dart2k is right, it's rumble. a third party group went to sony and showed them how to put rumble into their pads but sony told them to eff off coz they had had legal issues in the past (this group sued sony). but now they've kissed and made up and are working on bringing rumble back. i'm delighted coz i miss it.

Indeed, the only thing I want changed is Rumble, Red/Blue/Green LED behind the playstation button, triggers that have a curve to fit your fingers instead of feeling like they'll slide off .. maybe make them feel more like triggers

They cannot redo it too much, since old games and games in development must still be compatible with the 'new' one. I'm pretty sure they are only talking about the addition of rumble. They can't really add or remove buttons, so options are limited.

yeah, i don't want it to change really, there's a reason why its only been tweaked over three generations of consoles, coz it works. but i agree with Exile about changing the shape of the trigger buttons. i.m.h.o its a bit of a bad design and also unnesissary. the r1 button is the trigger button and it should be that (and l1) that should have the extra depth

I wish they had just kept the Boomerang, because it was suppose to be ergonomic which is something that the Dualshock design lacks.

I agree. The boomerang looked dorky but ergonomic, and I would take ergonomics over looks any day (well almost any day). I wish they would fix the triggers. If they did that I would be happy, of course if they wanted to rearrange the analogue sticks for us FPS players I would be even happier.

right,` my frst thought was different controllers for every type of game, eg racing, fps....etc...etc

then i rememebered you get/got a racing wheel one.

THEN i remembered i had a menecer for my sega, back in the day. now, they were lame coz it was infra red laser of whatever, and you had to keep the thing pointed straight at the wee box thingie, but surely with bluetooth that wouldn't be a problem. the only thing would be moving the character. you could have a control for moving in directions, but maybe even looking/moving the camera could be done by moving the gun-controler left right up down. that would be cool. you might also need an x button, maybe where the thumb rests, coz you know how you have to occassionally flip a switch or something in these games.

seriosly, i'd buy it.

i could care less about rumble now since i have not had it, plus the batteries usually last a good while now add rumble probably get drained real quick, but the r2/l2 buttons are touchy though should change that a bit as well

L2 and R2 should have a like curve to the inside. Nothing like the 360, just a little curve so the finger can fit better.

They need to use sturdier plastic. sixaxis is fragile compared to the 360 controller which is a tank.
