Will Sony update thier controller next gen?

So far, Sony is the only company which does not update thier controller every gen. Both Microsoft and Nintendo have been updating thier controllers every gen, mostly improving ergenomics, Microsoft now has I think made the most comfortable controller, just infront of the GC pad last gen.

However, with motion controls comming to the forground, and Sony attempting to create it's own wiimote/nunchuck, do you think they might embrace motion controls next gen and make these controllers standard? If so, it'll be the first real controller change for Sony... ever.

Sony needs to up Ergonomics BUT the controller in essence should stay the same.

staggered analog placement, bigger handles, and better triggers

so yea...i hope they update

The PS Move will probably be Sony's standard controller for the future unless it bombs. That doesn't mean DualShock 3s won't continue to be sold, though, as a sort of "Classic Controller".

We're getting the boomerang next gen.

Only thing I'd want to change is to add their own triggers rather than the paddles. I bought the Real Triggers to go over them and they work great yet it'd be nice to have triggers like on the Xbox controller. Otherwise, I love the Dualshock design.

Good god what were they thinking ... :?

The controller layout is fine I think, its just the ergonomics that needs work.

everything but the triggers are fine. They should ask the dudes who made the triggers they sell at best buy(forgot the name of them) to make it for the PS4. Besides that the controller is perfect the way it is.

The controller just needs better handles. The ones on the DS3, (and every other version) has grips that are too small.

I agree loads. The ergonomics on the palm of your hand need to change. Triggers need to be more accessible instead of having a stupid trigger design where my fingers keep slipping off (DAMN YOU SONY!).

They shouldn'tchange and have motion next gen! It wouldn't beright. Sony and Microsoft are for thehardcore gamer which added games and features for families. Nintendo are the family console.

THEY SHOULDN'T CHANGE!

They should. PS3 controller design is now 16 years old!!!

Is that really a problem? I mean just cause something is old doesint mean it has to change if it works.

I just think by now it shows a lack of imagination.

Its like if Nintendo stayed with the SNES controller and just kept adding stuff to it and all we would be using now is the [Wii] classic controller and nothing else. How boring does that sound.

See the thing is thats opinion not fact. I like the DS3 more then the 360 pad.

You are probably used to it. Well, it´s not a bad controller by any means and i loved it when i got my PS1 and even my PS2. I just think 360 controller is far more ergonomic (still the Dpad doesnt come close to DS and Nintendo ones).

Why change something that's pretty much perfect?

I know people are throwing out the ergonomic design line like there's no tomorrow, but I'd just like to point out that 360's controller actually pinches down on your middle fingers. Ergonomic or not, but I've never heard anyone get cramps from using a DS3. If it's too small for some people then at least that's something I can believe.

Removeable battery packs is the only improvement I'd want, but definitely not at the expense of making it yet another accessory gamers have to purchase.

I never understood peoples obsession with coming out with a new controller design each gen.

Yes I would like to see an update, but please stick with the layout i have come to love.

I should look into that. I just bought a new controller at GameStop. Dogs + Controller= 55$ down the drain :evil:

not really, but I would like to see a better 3rd party controller if I want to play a shooter (I guess I could say the same thing for xbox but I don't really use the d-pad to move a character cause all my games use the analog stick)

The triggers are...Just not that amazing :? My fingers have actually slipped off a few times. Found it on Best Buy. Did you buys yours in stores, or is this only online?

I got it in the store.

It'd be time already. The DualShock is awful.

I don't have a problem with the design, it's comfortable enough. I think the placement of the left stick is the only thing that needs change.IronBass

That gets me thinking. I wouldn't mind that Microsoft and Sony go the Wii remote route and having something that separates your hands. I love the design personally. I don't know how other people feel about it though.

I think Playstation controllers are fine the way they are.

if it aint broke......

yep, I have those too. It really does make a difference.

I think the next PS controller will be the move, or that one that seperates into two pieces. Either way, I'm certain both MS and Sony will go the motion control route for next gen.

I love the controller the way it is. I hope it doesn't change until it HAS to change.

Hopefully not. I think the Dualshock >>> all other controllers. When buying a gamepad for my PC, I was sure to choose one of a similar styIe.

i feel very comfortable with it ... i dun mind changing few stuff, but i dun wanna a reboot, that would suck.

Minor changes would be good.

I personally don't have a problem with the two analog sticks where they are. However they could be a big further apart and the controller could feel a bit more natural in my hand.

This. Basically.

aren't they going with Move? or is that another Sega CD sorta like Kinect?

anyways i think they should just make it more ergonomic, i would prefer if they did the stagger analog stick placement because that's better for racing games and any game that needs both of your thumbs on the sticks at the same time, but it won't complain if they don't do that
