Photos: Get Up Close and Personal With the DualShock 4

I've been doing some cross-comparing, and this new controller is starting to look a whole lot like the 360 one. Same grips same, trigger layout (albeit the PS ones having a slightly odd angle). The only major differences are the left stick's location (though that's a given) and the screen/sensor combo in the centre.

I am wondering where in the heck the pause button is though.....

The "Share" button makes me vomit in my mouth a little. It makes me immediately think of Facebook games... having a dedicated button for it does not strike the right chord with me.

What... Share means you can - upload your gameplay to Youtube, take screenshots, or start livestreaming...

How the heck does that include Facebook?

I think people are REALLY REALLY overreacting to something that isn't a big problem at all...

Because of word association. Because of the saturation of social networks words such as "share" and "like" immediately bring to mind things like Twitter, Facebook, Farmville, etc when used on their own, which is exactly what happened when I see the "Share" button on the controller.

The sticks and the directional buttons are in the right place... Its a controller, not a car, cant fuck it up too hard unless your Nido.
People bemone and ***** about everything these days, frankly if the 'Move' light lets me run and gun like I can in infamous 2 then ill happily see it included (so long as it turns off when not in use, reflective screens and all that).

I'm not even sure if you're serious at this poinIt, considering one of the big gripes about the PSP was that Sony could and DID "fuck it up too hard."

And why did you just bring up "bemoaning" when you appear to be bemoaning the Kinect, and now Nintendo?

I am serious you little id, the sticks and all the buttons (save for start and the other one) are in the right place. If I could pick one up I wouldnt have to competely relearn how to use it, its a change but the wheel is still a circle.

I consider bemoaning to be a position of one of care, as in you are invested in something, then it changes, everybody has a sook and a little tanty and has to suck it the up and get over it. My position is one of observation, I have no investment in Microsoft or Nintendo hence I dont give a shit, merely pointing out when it comes to consoles and peripheral crap Sony's is the least intrusive. I'll admit im a bit weary of the touch screen though because you can't get a feel for the 'buttons' on screen, but that aside Im not going to get all butthurt about it, but judging by your choice of words, you are.

Also im a sucker for IRONY, LOL.
