Playstation 4 Dualshock 4


The Dual Shock 4 Controller... it seems to have amazed gamers throughout the world with its new sleek design and mysterious new features. Some of the new features of the dualshock 4 is the obvious new touch pad. It has been confirmed for navigation throughout the PlayStation user interface, but also for the new playstation room where users will be able to navigate through options a select using the new touchpad. example of whats to come. The mono speaker which is placed directly under the touch pad seems to amaze me in that it could be used as a warning for grenade indicators in games such as Cod and or Bf. 
(Below is a list of all the dualshock 4's specs)
Dimensions: Approx. 162mm x 52mm x 98mmWeight: Approx. 210g Buttons: PS button, SHARE button, OPTIONS button, Touch Pad Button, Touch Pad 2 Point Touch Pad, Click Mechanism, Capacitive Type.Other Features: Light Bar, Vibration, Built-in Mono Speaker.Ports: USB (Micro B), Extention Port, Stereo Headset Jack.Wireless communication: Bluetooth® Ver2.1+EDR.

The new share and options button replace the traditional start button of the previous controllers but they function with the next gen social media interfaces. The other focus was that Sony is trying to give gamers in this next-gen a more socially interactive environment to keep gamers entertained and connected.
There also was an addition to the new light bar which seems to work hand in hand with the new PS Eye which will be covered in more depth later on. this addition is also a promotion for the new camera to compete with Microsoft's kinect. It also functions to distinguish players with various colors of the light bar to help ease tensions with gamer dilemmas.
Lastly the new addition to the dual shock 4 is the stereo headset jack, this is an improvement in that many more third party audio publishers will be able to sell and produce devices to gamers and to promote Sony's enterprise.
