Looks heavy
So an uglier version of the old controller with a screen and speaker?
left thumbstick still in a terrible place
Interesting, looks like they got rid of the Start and Select buttons

It looks like that really fake feeling low quality plastic.

If you put that on google along with the word "console controllers", you get Thrustmaster's webpage.

So the PS3 controller?
innovation levels off the charts
let's hope that's not it
[QUOTE=LordCrypto;39590880]left thumbstick still in a terrible place[/QUOTE]
Not really. I've always found it to be quite a nice place as I can still use the fucking DPad with ease compared to when I use a 360 controller.

If it really is a prototype, then it makes sense they used cheap, shitty plastic. It's still in development. You don't use your best resources to make prototypes unless you're Tony Stark or some shit.
I ain't taking any of the seriously till it's official.
looks way too bulky.
if it aint broke...
I'm gunna call this one of those hoaxes where the guy sends it to different retailers and then they pick it up without checking their facts. It's a pre-rendered image made in maya or whatever.
Well it ain't pretty, but at least it looks comfortable to hold.
Am I the only one that thinks it looks fine?
lemme guess the blue light works as a motion tracker like the lightballs on the move wands
that is NOT sony's style.
the dualshock hasn't changed AT ALL besides giving it thumbsticks. basically it's been the same exact controller for 3 generations with a few handy changes here and there.
like there's a mess of controllers and shit at the foot of my bed where my ps3 is, i have trouble picking out the ps2 controllers from the ps3 controllers unless i actually give a good look.

that looks way to much like a shit third part controller

I thought it looked cool. Blue light shit is always cool.
Hell I like myself chunky controllers. The original PS1 controller felt too flimsy until I got my hands on the DualShock. Could destroy a wall with that thing.
Everyone should take this with a handful of salt until official word gets out.
[QUOTE=skynrdfan3;39590989]if it aint broke...[/QUOTE]
Improve on it and give it more features?
I hope they make something Dreamcast-ish with it.
If you guys are saying this is bulky, you haven't played a nintendo 64 or an American Xbox Original.
It's a devkit, prototype hardware. It does not represent final hardware. I can confirm this is real.
I kinda like it. The center screen could be used for HUD Stats.

Who the hell looks at their controller while playing a game.
Is that some kind of gamecube on top?
Look at the controller ports

Huh. That's funny...I swear this came out recently and sold the fuck out everywhere. If there are details on the controller, it will be looked at.
Am I the only one who doesn't like the idea of a screen on the controller? It just feels like time wasted looking down to see something that could have been shown on he tv screen.
Not to mention looking away from the game really kills immersion.
