I dont know how I feel about biometrics. The touch screen really depends on the size , I dont really want VMU size but I definitely dont want Wii U size because I have no space for that.

I don't know why but I have sat here for the last 4-5 minutes and kept slowly scrolling over it hahahahaha. It just keeps making me laugh out loud. I think its the damn fonted keyboard at the bottom that really sets it off.

LOL at those patents. The controller looks like an abdomination. I'll stick with the DS3 thank you very much.
I hope the countroller isn't horrendously bulky or wide. A small screen in the middle is what I'd prefer. That 'PS4' electric blue mock-up looks perfect, although I am not a fan of off-set analog sticks.

So it's going to be a WiiU style gamepad with built in Vitality Sensor that looks like a Vita. Sounds fine by me, everything is better than that 1995 controller they call Dual Shock 3.
A 3.5-4" screen would be big enough for menu navigation and serving as touch keyboard, and perhaps even offscreen play for some games. The controller would still be pretty hefty, but nowhere near as huge as the GamePad and not as wide as the Vita.
Even if they dont use a vita style of controller, i still think it would be nice if they offered some ps4+vita bundle with a good discount.

iPhone 4 sized screen would be perfect IMO. Small yet functional. I'd prefer a more compact controller. 360 size would be pretty nice.

This is a decent point.
If the controller is going to cost $100, why not just spend a hundred more for a vita?
Why do people keep saying this. Oh I forgot the Vita hasn't sold much and no one has actually touched a Vita. As I Vita owner let me tell you that is a terrible idea. The analogs are tiny as fuck and less precise, shooter fans would go crazy. And it's lacking R2/L2/R3/L3. And finally it's uncomfortable to hold than a regular controller. Of course a analogs and comfort is good for handheld standards but as a controller it is a joke.
Mentioned in the BC thread, but I wonder if PSMobile has played any role in the business case for a touchscreen, assuming it is indeed there.
They were investigating PS3 as a possible host platform but you really need a touchscreen. Orbis could readily host it with this type of controller.

Because it's easier for people to rationalize spending $200 (the price i expect the vita to be shortly) on a vita than it is to spend $100 on a controller that is useless without the console.
I don't think you understand, if I give ayour average dudebro COD fan a Vita and say thats the PS4 controller, he'd be like WTF. Shooter fans will go ape shit, the Vita analogs are just too tiny and no L2/R2/L3/R3. Sony will lose customers, and to have expensive controllers like that is ridiculous. Sony makes a lot of profit on selling DS4, with a Vita as it's main contoller they would barely make a profit on Vita. Lets face it it's a bad idea, and I don't understand why people keep mentioning this.

But in this case, the thing in question is not broken. So it doesn't need fixing.

Nice to hear about the allegedly impending unveil of the system. Even though I'm in no rush to dive in a new console generation, I'm nevertheless excited about the prospect of the games that will be also shown up.

If it aint broke don't fix it is probably the worst expression to use with tech products. We would literally be stuck with decades ago in technology if that was the case
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
a jumbo Vita would be nice. essentially it'd be a Vita XL

Also I hope Sony uses the gamepad idea with a higher res screen and bigger battery.
NOOOOOOOOO!!!
Dual Shock 3 is the best controller out there right now!!!!! (excluding L2/R3). Best controller even for FPS games. Stick are where they should go instead of mutated controller of Xbox and all others and the size is perfect. Dpad fantastic. WTF I hope DS3 is atleast compatible.

There is so much fail and wrong in this thread.
If the DS4 were just the same as the DS3, it would still be an awesome pad.
on topic, by the sounds of it, Vita will be inseperable from PS4. They already mentioned that they can do the whole WiiU thing with Vita/PS3 but have curiously not pushed it...saving it for PS4 clearly!
Sony are curiously quiet around the Vita, they either launched it too soon and made a mistake or did it as a soft launch and it was more aimed at being a PS4 partner rather than a PS3 bro?
If they let you use DS3 pads and Vitas to control the PS4, then thats a good move! We don't need any more buttons!

Shooter fans own a playstation? Cuz that controller is ass for shooters
Personally i think the whole idea of adding a screen to a controller and making it your pack in controller is just an awful idea. It costs too damn much and the market that actually wants to use a screen for input already has a smartphone or tablet.
Whichever console sticks with a traditional controller will probably get my money. If all of them go with a tablet/controller, i may just stick with PC.

I'd buy that.
A Vita is to big as it is. It doesnt fit comfortably in any pocket.
Making it a bit bigger wouldn't make any difference to that, but would make play more comforatable.

Touchscreen? I do not want that. I don't even want a screen on it.

haha... I wonder if someone can create a quick gif of this being on that screen as the controller is opening up.
I would not mind this as well as long as they upgrade it.

I hope you don't mind me asking, but how is it even possible to hold and use a controller effectively in games with one hand?
Yeah off tv play should really spread to every console even if it comes as an optional thing.

No I'm not. You must have baby hands. I'm tempted to take pictures.

Bad example, the last Halo before 4 was Reach and the changes made it a superior game (to Reach, not the trilogy)Not always... Look at Halo 4
Do, cause it does sound like you are holding it wrong. I have never heard such complaints from anyone about the DS3.
I wouldn't mind something like this but a little bigger, complete with bigger sticks...
do want

that would be cool if you could have some type of usb to record game footage off of the controller as well
