Playstation 4, Controller Rumor

The controller
Sources close to the hardware have revealed to us that PS4 will ship with a redesigned controller which is the same size as an existing DualShock but features a small touchpad in place of the existing Select, Start and PS buttons. The tech is based on Vita’s rear touchpad, and is similarly responsive in use.
A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet.

Re: Playstation 4, Controller Rumor

A leaked image of the controller from kotaku. Looks like they did away with the start & select buttons in favor of a centered lcd, headphone jack & speakers on the controller? Doubtful that this is legit but then again, just another attempt to imitate & 1up nintendo from sony.
