DS4 controller to have basic pc support

sony has announced today that the ps4's controller will be compatible with PC's on a basic level. this means that six axis, wireless, and dualshock will not be on pc (officially) but that their controller will work. the controller will come with its own driver stored on the controller you simply need to plug it in and off to the races you go this is a huge thing as it takes a LOT of work to get a ps3's controller working at all on a pc.

i actually mean it this time #thankyoulordgodkaz

That's great. 

I believe this was already known. So spoiled for choice!

Probably going to pickup a PS4 controller for when I feel like using one.

Good news.

Hard to imagine anyone seriously dropping the 360 controller for the DS4 but meh, there are always a few crazies out there.

im abandoning the xbox controller for pc if this works out as planned. f!ck M$

you damn crazy!

I myself use the PS3 DS3 controller on my computer but I use MotioninJoy. I guess with basic pc support it means that you just plug the DS4 to your pc and that's it.

...great was gonna buy x1 controller for lulz, but now this.

I already use a DS3 on windows, but I guess this is good as I wont have to use motion joy anymore. 

As long as "gameplay" is covered by Shu's concept of "basic," I'm happy.  More choice.

Controllers, best on PC

I'm very pleased with this.

I also hope the Steam controller turns out to be really good.

or you can just get the vastly superior wired 360 controlle which almost every game now comes with full support built right into the game.

@Jankarcop: Is it me or a game like Super Meat Boy (or Rogue Legacy) controls better with a controller?

Most controllery type games will probably continue to use the windows Xbox360 pad.

It doesn't take a lot of work to use a DS3 on PC.

I installed one program and my controllers work flawlessly (games are tricked into thinking they're xbox controllers for better compatibility). They also work perfectly with a £3 Bluetooth adapter I bought.
