Get Another Look At The PS4's Alleged Controller

Possible xbox-standard headset type deal perhaps? In game cross chat as well?! Boom

I must be the only one, but I don't get what's so good about cross-game chat.

You can chat cross game.

Mind = blown.

And with this, after all this years, finally the entirety of mankind has been able to figure it out.

OK, say you and a buddy want to play, but you are both playing single player games on your PS3. With cross game chat, you can talk about what you want to play, then play it, instead of having to connect to a certain game together to play it. It really makes playing on consoles better.

I can see its uses now, but I'm definitely not the target audience for that, as most of my contacts are my friends and I just use the phone to communicate with them. Anyway I hope they add that thing for the people that can take advantage of it.

The fact you can create your own separate party on Xbox live which is great for setting games up because everyone can check in before they are even in a lobby. With that said, I almost hate the option because it means alot of people do not enter game chat. Or people invite you to Join parties with people from different games.....uuuuuh...when Im playing rush in battlefield I do not want to share communications with a guy playing a racing game, a dude playing skyrim, and a dude who's not even playing his xbox yet still wants to chat with his gamer friends....Hell on earth just talk to the people in your lobby, seriously. You just came in second place in your race? Sorry man, I'd rather talk to the dude who can tell me that there is an invisible guy with a rocket launcher around the next corner!

That touch area looks smaller than the 3DS's touch screen, scaling this controller to the same size as the PS3 controller. That seems a little hard to control almost anything with.

Probably just the 2D equivalent of a mouse wheel, for scrolling, flicking screens and such.

It's a thumbprint scanner for Sony's new DRM.

Combo thumbprint and retina scan? The speaker holes you see are for voice recognition. You can never be too careful when it comes to piracy.

Maybe it will mostly (for hardcore gamers) be used to access the XMB without pausing the game. or checking who is online playing, direct messages, friend requests etc what without pausing.

to me it would almost be more useful on the back (not sure if it would work on the curved grips). a lot of games suffer from the fact that you can't accurately move a thumbstick while clicking it (like aiming your gun then doing a quick melee in COD). instead you could just swipe the back to melee. having it on the front doesn't really solve that.

I like the matte finish.

I'll wait for Xbox720. Sony has FAILED ME FOR THE LAST TIME.
