PS3 controller revealed - come on DUALSHOCK - PSP-Forum.com

Today at Sony's Press Conference in LA, Sony showed off the newest design of the PS3 controller. Bye, Bye boomerang, hello Dual Shock!

The PS3 controller Is set to include Bluetooth technology for wireless play with the addition of USB cables to wire the controller for recharging.

The most interesting announcement came regarding the inclusion of a ‘six-axis sensing system’ and the removal of the vibrating core. The press release stated that, "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."

Sounds exciting and hopefully the sensors will add a whole other dimension to the PS3 gameplay. This feature could possibly work well in an FPS game were the camera reacts to the movements of the controller.

Looks nice but read a review I read yesterday said it was too light and unbalanced due to the lack of dualshock motors. They use the interference excuse for the lack of vibration but we know the real reason.

Shame for the lack of vibrations - I like to feel that I actualy hit the wall in a race game or something similar

Unfortunatly, I believe the highlight of Sonys E3 was MGS4. The controller looked clumsy and the bombshell that GTA4 will launch on XBOX 360 AND PS3 is about as good for Sony as nuclear Bomb.

Overall I'd say it was pretty bland and really just didn't do what I thought it would.

Wrong, you should change that to "Wish someone else thought of that *cough*Microsoft*cough*"

The Sidewinder Freestyle Pro did exactly the same as both this and Nintendo's controller over five years ago. I know because I own one.
