i thouth it was not a screen but rather something like the ps vita back touch pad thingy.
edit: just switch dpad and left stick.
Kotaku have a different source. They claim to have a dev with a dev kit.
CVG/Eurogamer have sources, probably devs, that appear to have knowledge of the many iterations of the control pad.
The Dualshock is the most iconic gamepad in gaming, from the late 90s vg bloom and after.
It would be wrong to replace it. They could enhance it by dumping the crosspad for a touch pad or something, but to dump it all together would be a bad move.

And yeah, add a small LCD on it for the sake of easier text chat, search functions, etc.
Whatever the controller ends up being, I bet it won't have a DPAD.

In fact LCD screen could be used , not only for gaming (options, maps, stats, items/menus, leaderboards, seending locations on maps or other online strategies with friends for multiplayer games) but as a OS notification screen too, as an optional method to receive PM's, notifications (trophies, invites, real time chat/like whatsapp for example)

Of course it will have d-pad. It makes no sense for them to remove it.
Please don't be serious.Compatibility with PS1/PS2/PS3 can be resolved via the touchscreen/touchpad.

And why is that? Take a look at 20 best selling PS3 or 360 games. Not one of those games actually require the use of dpad. It's an ancient relic.

I presume how more-less 50% of Gran Turismo players wouldn't agree with you
Also, I would argue about X/O/S/T buttons being killed before D-pad in some future, but that's just me..
Next gen systems could probably lose the d-pad. I hope they don't, but Lagspike is right. It's a menu tool in practically ever AAA game. It selects weapons or special powers or some other thing from a list.
So no progress for the sake of nostalgia? No thx, redesign the thing. DS3 is too small, has crappy plastic and abysmal L2/R2 buttons. It needs to improve considerably. And yeah, add a small LCD on it for the sake of easier text chat, search functions, etc.
All they have to do is switch the dpad with the thumbstick and I'll be on board.
I loved the DS during the PS2 era. This gen, it felt old. I need offset thumbsticks, plz & thank u.
How do you figure?The more I read about Sony, the more apparent it becomes that no one has a clue what they're doing. They've likely only shed light on the PS4 to major third parties and their in house talent to keep leaks from jumping out.
I don't get this. Why should they be offseted? Doesn't that depend on the game?
Next gen systems (and AAA gaming in general) aren't being designed around the FGC.Force people who want to play fighting games to get a stick. Prefer to use the D-pad for 2D games as well amongst others
Discussing hardware can be just as interesting or more interesting than discussing games. Hardware shapes how the games look and play.My god i wish something firm would just come out from both MS and Sony to stop all this speculation... i just want to talk about games!
I'm hoping we'll see something like this:
Functional and doesn't affect traditional gaming.

The position of the analog sticks doesn't seem very comfortable. They must be closer.
I think this would be the perfect solution:
I like your design the most. This controller design would pump me up for next gen. The ergonomics look great, the screen can be useful, and the design is simply gorgeous. Touch pad integration in the back could work well with the interface at that size as well. Implementing commands for your index finger on the back of the controller wouldn't impair gameplay as much either.
I like the thought that went into this one:
But then how can they sell you four new controllers for $49.99??Dualshock 3 still support if the new controls have different function. Like Wii with GC controller ports but bluetooth.
