Now that someone mentioned it looks like an OLED screen in the centre I can't unsee it. It may actually be. But that ps button is just horrendus
Someone on 4chan said it's the PS5 controller for the devkit. I'm almost certain it's a fake but as the reflections of the light on the controller looks real I post it here, maybe a 3rd party controller?

This would be so good for MMOs.If it does have a touchscreen, I just hope it can be used as a touch keyboard to input text like a phones touchscreen.
I am not saying this is real, but your observation isn't grounds for BS.Why would you need a dev controller this far out when it's essentially the same as a ds4? Bs.

I get the same, especially in GT Sport during a long tense online race. Cripplingly bad, hence why chunkier handles is no problem for me, comfort should come above all else.I'm sorry but I really hope they don't. For some reason I used to end up holding the Ds4 so tight it hurt my hands badly. I tried relaxing my grip but before I knew it I was clenching it tightly again minutes later. Never had these issues with ds3 or 360 controller.
I see that for no particular reason they went with four button dpad

That's... not exciting. I figured we're not getting much new on the controller front but that's ok. Both companies want to iterate and not rock the boat.
Posted this in another 'next gen' thread when it probably should have gone here..,
In other news I was speaking to someone who had been working on a project with a 'VFX company' and when I asked what else this 'VFX company' had been working on recently they said they'd been finishing up some "E3 videos for Sony".
Whether that means "videos" for games that will appear on Sony's 'next gen' platform from third parties or specifically Sony first party titles (given that Sony aren't supposed to be at E3) I have no idea what it means but that's what he said.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
According to patents, this thing could have a touchscreen, an e-ink substrate, a camera, a new trigger design, among other things. It's not just a different shaped DS4 in its most fantastic of possibilities.
Interesting, from what I remember they just said that they won't "participate in E3" and that there won't be a press conference around that time. But of course that doesn't mean that they can't release a video on their YouTube channel during that time. Maybe they will stealth drop a PS5 teaser video 1 hour before the Xbox press conference or something crazy like that.
If it is e-ink, like the old patent, you don't have to worry about it at all.I just can't believe the controller will have a touch screen l mean the battery life on the current controller is nothing to write home about.

I would love an e-ink touchpad. Imagine an RPG where the display is separated into 4 fields with each button doing something else.
A map field, a questlog field, a menu field and a whatever field.
I really hate games that don't give instant access to the map. This could be the solution and because the e-ink can have clear labels. It won't be as vague as a touchpad without a screen.
I am all for the E-ink controller revolution.
Ooooooor
When you need to type something, it displays a keyboard like a smartphone. Making communication in online games much easier, or browsing the web.
Everyone would love that!

The goal of the devkit contoller is not to look good, but just to offer the final FUNCTIONALITY to the devs. And devkit gamepads can change in their form and function.This looks real bad. That's either a cheap 3rd party controller or a 3D printer fake controller.
Hmm...maybe Sony will have an event in late May-early June, close to E3 time but not quite?Posted this in another 'next gen' thread when it probably should have gone here..,

I've heard talk of a press conference being in May to coincide with the projected 100 million sale mark for the PS4.Posted this in another 'next gen' thread when it probably should have gone here..,

I can't say who it is but this VFX company has done loads of CGI trailers/videos for E3 and other game publishers in the past so it makes sense that Sony would use them for whatever this is possibly going to be.
thinking about it now, it really does not make much sense to hire a third party VFX studio just for a show that shows the last upcoming ps4 titles. it makes sense for a PS5 event though.I'd be surprised if Sony were to hire this company to work on something that is related to the PS4 given how expensive a proposition it is getting them onboard..., assuming that it is Sony that's hiring them directly of course and not a third party or whatever.
I have no proof per se but logically it must be for the PS5 or whatever it will be called. For reference the person was working with this company because they were doing some 'pre-viz' for a studio film he's working on.
oh.I've heard talk of a press conference being in May to coincide with the projected 100 million sale mark for the PS4.

To prevent unnecessary hype I'd wager it's just going to be another State of Play to celebrate 100 million.
Considering the 25th anniversary at the end of the year (PS1 came our December 3, 1994 in Japan) I'd expect a big blowout around then.
However if the PS5 is launching Q1 2020 we may actually see a reveal around May, as that would be 10-11 months out from March 2020, same as how the PS4 reveal was 10 months out from release.
around E3 time => E3 week.Sony said they were not having a conference around the time of E3 though.
A Spring release for the console does seem odd but I can see it happening if they wantThinking about it logically, the PS4 was revealed February 2013 and released November 2013. They had a big blowout at E3 2013.
If we assume a similar timetable we could see a PS5 reveal in May 2019 for a March 2020 release along with a big blowout in the Fall of 2019. PlayStation Experience 2019?
then a VFX company that is editing videos for sony for an event that will appear on or around E3.
Switch proved it viable.A Spring release for the console does seem odd but I can see it happening if they want
they just need to cram in those unreleased games before then lol
those leaks dont always happen immediately after GDC. the pro spec leak happened more than a month after GDC (while GDC was the source), we shouldnt call it already.We had 0 rumors at the GDC while it was when the first time we heard of the PS4 then PS4 Pro.

I really think the console will not come out before end 2020 with maybe a first tease at the Playstation experience in December and full revelation at E3 2020.
Yeah they did which makes me think Sony can pull it off too.

It could be for that rather than E3 seeing as Sony won't have a presence at the trade show this year. I know I'm being frustratingly cryptic but I thought I'd pass it along anyway given that A) the PS5 is potentially imminent and B) Sony said that they were passing on E3 this year.
again it depends, it took like 2 weeks until we heard of the PS4 for example. point is, we shouldnt call it yet.But the first time we heard the release of the PS4 Pro was on the last day of the GDC 2016.

Eh, it being fine then doesn't mean they have to do that same thing now. Let's consider a few things:
-Sony likes the exclusiveness of having their own reveal event such as the PS meeting. They like having the spotlight and having their own event means they don't have to share it.
-They like the spectacle of E3 press conferences and the way it hypes up the player base and potential buyers.
-You say what they did in 2013 worked fine, but the majority of people in gaming forums are saying that Sony won at that time only because "MS dropped the ball." (And I think there's a small amount of truth to that. I think they announced the PS meeting out of nowhere to catch MS off guard (specially their marketing arm), they stuck the sword on the ground pointing up and just let MS ungracefully fall on it themselves. I don't think that'll work this time around, MS is much more prepared.)
- A while back, Someone high up from PS (House?) said that many people didn't like how they revealed the console but didn't show the hardware, I think they're going to avoid doing that again.
-That year's E3 was mostly just a rehash of the PS meeting. The feeling of dissatisfaction thats going around online concerning their conferences lately, I don't think they want to do that again.
-Kodera's comments of 'crouching before jumping.
Let's combine these things and Sony's plans become a bit more clear. IMO, they want an E3 sized event, at the time of their own choosing, where they can show fresh and exciting games, from first, second and third parties, coming in the next gen launch window and beyond. They want to be the center of attention. They want to show off the console specs and the console itself at this event/conference. They probably even want it to be like PSX and have the console itself on the show floor, for the press and PS fans, with demos of launch games. They want to have a launch date ready for this event, and they want to have clear on concise plans ready to be shown.
Idk about you guys, but an event like that would blow my mind.
Ps. I don't think Sony is leaving E3 entirely, they'll be back next year... it just doesn't fit into their next gen reveal plans this year.

Switch proved it viable.
And not necessarily if the PS5 is full BC. Can advertise special PS5 Modes for late PS4 games that make them take advantage of PS5 hardware beyond a simple boost mode.
