Rip off.
Posted by Xugaa
well they had a new one fatreg, but people kept complaining for some reason that they wanted the old controller back...
well i'm not bothered, its a great controller anyway and now wireless (7 meters!) and an upgraded dual shock, movement sensor thingy which will be great for flying games and driving etc, i had a sidewinder which did the same thing but for my pc, and it was great!

its ok i supose, but ppl u have 2 remeber that wireless controllers have been out for a long time, well for the gamecube anyway with its wavebird
Posted by twerg
Nice. I read on Mega Games.com that this controller no longer has the rumble feature. This is a standard feature to have these days i would think. Its good that they have stuck with the same design thou, IMO the best design. Thou i love my wireless 360 controller.

Gotta say, the best controller IMHO was the N64 (at least for 1st person shooters) although its hard to beat the old NES controllers.....Ah, those were simpler days of - run-jump-back-punch-jump A B A B select Up DoWN A B LEFT...
Nowadays its "oh know, my thrust phaser module is over heating, must switch to secondary machine gun ....x y b x j c + 2y is greater then select......Damn...too many butten combos....DEAD

Must agree the n64 contoller was great. I also like the GC controller, very comfortable.
Xbox's... rubbish.
PS1/PS2's great, glad they decided to keep it.
Posted by Scorchio
At last, somebody else who doesn't like the Xbox controller...I mean to say, who designed it? a goat?
Who has hands that size?
Posted by methylated_spirit
imho there is nothing wrong with the ps2 controller, so if it aint broke, why fix it? They put a lot of research and energy into designing something ergonomically designed to fit into the human hand, and the human hand hasn't changed, so why should the controller?
Posted by leeboy13
totally agree with you there meths..... for example people have made a number of unsuccessful pen/pencil sytles and everyone that i knows fall back to the good old fashioned
again i realise i have gone off on a tangent, but seriously - im soooooo bored!
p.s. thats shoddy work using my W800i in that last pic
Posted by methylated_spirit
Point well proven with a good analogy there, lee! good work fella!
Posted by jagger2k
You can not change the playstation pad, its is the best control pad on any system and it works better then any other one, if its not broke dont fix it.

is does vibrate, it has dual shock 3 i think...
"In Sony's E3 conference on May 8th, 2006, it was revealed that the new, redesigned, wireless controller has a tilt sensor that allows six degrees of freedom (movement in all three spatial axis, plus pitch, roll, and yaw rotation). It also has broader analog sticks, a USB cable port at the top of the controller (utilized for connections to the PS3 and recharging), four LEDs presumably for play identification, and a "guide" button on the center of the controller's face. The controller is lighter than previous DualShock controllers, despite the new upgrade to DualShock 3."

thats funny as i read this from megagames.
'The Controller
Sony confirmed the full redesign of the PS3 controller while the new design seems almost identical to the PS2 controller with a few next-gen features. One feature that won't be making it to the PS3 controller however, is vibration; Sony didn't actually reveal this during the press event but issued a press release which was circulated later. During the live Warhawk demo presentation, Sony's Phil Harrison pretended to be demonstrating a feature which had a Wii smell about it. The PS3 controllers now support tilt sensitivity which will use a tilting accelerometer device. The similarity to the Nintendo Wiimote is obvious but it appears that the functionality of this PS3 feature is best compared to the so-called nunchuck add-on to the Nintendo controller.'
its possible that they could have it wrong. and before anyone else calls me a 'fanboy', i have been playing consoles since before the 2600, and although i prefer xbox/360 i also play PS2.

ridiculous...IT DOESN´T VIBRATE...that´s why its lighter, they removed the vibrations motors.
now, who´s the fanboy???
Posted by twerg
Apparently the vibrations interfered with the motion sensor thats why the feature has been removed. If you search online you should be able to find this out for yourself.
Posted by Syrus_20
Had a quick look online...alotta sites contradicting each other so you cant be sure until the spec is released. Alot of sites saying that dual shock is present, but then again alot of sites saying its not. So far all i know is its similar to the ps2 pad, wireless, L2 & R2 buttons raised slightly, larger analogue sticks and its got the 3D movement sensors which i think is brilliant especially after seein the clip with the fighter plane.
Anyway as a PS fan, hope it does include the dual shock cuz i think its important to have it
Posted by 02
Ok.... wat i heard is, when Motion mode is ON, Vibration will set to Off, other than that vibration will be ON. It will be weird and dumb if the vibration is taken out of a Nxt-Gen console...
Design... i felt 50/50, 1st i hv already seen it, touched it and basically everyone who owns a PS2 hv used it... yes i felt happy about the change in design however, its a Nxt-Gen console!! I want to see something new for the controller too!! They cud hv made a PS2 controller but 70% more out of the original PS3 batarang controller. It will definatelty makes it looks and feel fresh...

I think the concept would be better as I have seen it in comparison with a persons hand. The L and R button are placed in the centre so that your fingers can wrap around the controller so that they are easier to push and it's supposed to reduce the risk of straining any muscles so you can play for longer on it.
And there is no way that it has no Vib motor otherwise they would lose to Microsoft and we wouldn't want that now would we?

PlayStation 3 site IS UP!!!! visit http://www.sony.com
Los Angeles, May 8, 2006 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced the new controller for PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3), which will become available as standard with the system. The new controller can be experienced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) held from May 10 through 12, 2006, in Los Angeles, California.
The controller for PS3 has been created by refining and improving the world’s most popular PlayStation® controller that has shipped more than several hundred million units worldwide, while inheriting its basic concept and design. The controller for PS3 employs breakthrough technology of high-precision, highly sensitive six-axis sensing system that does not require any devices other than the controller itself for seamless interactive operation, thus eliminating additional settings to TVs. With this technology, ways to enjoy PS3 will be further enhanced by accessing PS3 through the network, while retaining the six-axis sensing capability.
In addition to the “3-posture-axis” of roll, pitch and yaw, “3-dimension acceleration information (X, Y, and Z)” can be detected in high-precision and in real-time. In addition to standard key input available in existing controllers, more natural and more intuitive play will become possible as if the controller has become part of your body.
Pursuant to the introduction of this new six-axis sensing system, the vibration feature that is currently available on DUALSHOCK® and DUALSHOCK®2 controllers for PlayStation and PlayStation®2, will be removed from the new PS3 controller as vibration itself interferes with information detected by the sensor.
The shape of L2/R2 buttons located on the top of the controller has also been enlarged with increased depth in stroke for more subtle control in games. At the same time, the tilting angle of the analog joy sticks has been slightly broadened to enable more delicate and more dynamic manipulation. Along with these improvements, precision of above information detection (L2/R2, analog joy stick) has been increased from 8 bit to 10 bit.
All input information will be immediately transferred to the PS3 system through the Bluetooth® wireless technology. By using a USB cable, the PS3 controller can be swapped seamlessly from wireless to wired, and can be charged automatically. The cable can be attached and detached at anytime.
By integrating all these features into one standard PlayStation controller, SCEI, together with content creators, expects to further expand and accelerate the world of next generation computer entertainment.
NOOOOOOOOOO, vibration goodness is gone......

Translation....We're crapping ourselves over this legal battle with Immersion, so we'd be better of dropping it rather have another $20m to pay out lol
The Wii stick has full rumble.
Posted by twerg
ha ha! and what did i say? i think only 1 or 2 believed me, research is a good thing.
Posted by ares
because you´re your wrong...the real reason they removed it is because some company sued Sony´s ass over the Dual Shock, and won...
Posted by Xugaa
sorry if i've made a mistake arez, maybe the source is wrong...
though i think that its stupid to leave the dual shock out if they really have done so, i am fine with it turned off when the motion thing is on and dual shock on when the motion thing is off etc.

do you think there will be a way to take a PS2 controler (with the wire) ad plus it in to the PS3 to get the vibration?

also i don't believe that anyway...

No0o0o0o0o! Its all gone in the sh*ts! Well not all of it...lovin the 3D things..but no Dual Shock!? Damnit! I think thats essential to game play really, especially since they usin the Motion Sensors for fighter planes etc and havin rumble at high speeds doin dangerous maneouvers would be awesome!

i second... oh well, we're giving up one thing for much much more throughout the whole of the ps3. still shouldn't have to though, if the wii remote control controller can have rumble as well as motion why can't the ps3's? different hardware, abilities, room in the controller for dual shock as well? maybe rumble requires a smaller space so the wii controller can have both...?
Posted by ares
xuga, the legal process over the original dualshock, that sony lost, is absolutely true, just google it and yoy´ll...its a fact well known on the industry...
if sony used that vibration "engine" they would have to pay an amount for every controler to the company that won
Posted by 02
oh well maybe we shud all buy those vibrating chairs!!
OR
Sony might come out an optional controller with built in dual shock.
Posted by Xugaa
perhaps you'll be able to use your ps2 controller or something as well... if there's no port for that, i'm sure an adapter will come out since i'm sure sony know that some people will be annoyed at the loss of dual shock...
Posted by Syrus_20
Youre right Xugaa, give a little to get a little
Not fussed anymore now, just want that damn ps3! Hehe, btw anyone know any trustworty sites to pre-order one? Like play.com for example.. (they dont do it)...cause seen some sites that arnt well known so dunno if i should place an order..
Posted by Xugaa
gamestation apparently do it, they're a trustworthy big uk video games shop... like for example GAME, i don't think they do it yet though.
