hey guys Ashley TechnoBuffalo here with our continuing PlayStation 4 coverage now we are gonna compare and contrast dual shocks three versus four now we might even throw in an Xbox 360 controller for good measure so stick around and let's compare dual shocks alright so here is the Dual Shock 4 this is your PlayStation 4 controller it doesn't look at first glance if you haven't looked at your PlayStation 3 controller in a while it doesn't look all that much different with the exception of this light bar and also the the touchpad here there's some extra buttons and things like that we'll get to that in a second but I just wanted to show you guys this is the dual shock 3 so this is the PlayStation 3 controller you want to put them right up on top of each other you can see the difference the the handles have been lengthened a little bit it's a little bit heftier these feel extremely light compared to Dual Shock 4 and also honestly this just feels a lot more solid in your hand and one of the problems I've always had with Playstation 3 and I don't know if it's the same with you but I've always experienced if you have long gameplay sessions you get a little bit of fatigue in your hands especially right here and your pinkies and your ring fingers but not so thus far with the DualShock 4 it does feel a lot more comfortable in hand also the bumpers have been kind of added to here so you can see these are now a little bit bigger a little easier to mash if you're playing something I do really like the fact that they've made this actually concave instead of convex so your finger fits comfortably there as opposed to having this rounded sort of feature on the top of the DualShock 3 there's no real place for your finger to sort of fit and and it definitely does on the DualShock 4 so here are your ports obviously now we have microUSB before it was just a your little USB USB mini and now we have a speaker in the middle and your PlayStation button so let's do some comparing and contrasting we've now got a speaker on board the DualShock 4 this is a touchpad that's obviously not available on the PlayStation threes controller and your start and select options have been replaced with options and share so now you have options as opposed to a fully dedicated start button and then share is now your new your for sharing so one of the cool features of the PlayStation 4 is it will actually record all of your gameplay and when you get the share button it will make a video of your previous 15 minutes of gameplay and you can share that online which is a pretty cool social media feature that we are dying to dig into we picked up Killzone so we're gonna dig into that later today the buttons are a little bit closer together here so you can see the the actual circle and all of your buttons and your d-pad have made just a little bit tighter so these are tighter in and these are tighter in no no giant cross in the middle of your controllers anymore they've decided to do away with that design which is a okay by me your analog sticks feel a lot they feel really solid they don't feel sticky they don't feel but you know maybe I'm just forgetting what it felt like to hold the DualShock 3 in hand when these first came out over a decade ago I can't believe it's been that long here is your external and your headset plug in and then on the back obviously not much going on here again the light bar supposedly as far as we've heard you cannot actually shut that light bar off which might be a little bit unfortunate but we'll see how that does I actually like the fact that the options and share buttons have moved sort of a little farther away from the middle here I think this is better used real estate but we'll see if developers really take advantage of this touchpad I'm very very curious to see how that comes into play especially with indie games I think that'll be really really fun so let's compare so we've compared the DualShock 3 to the DualShock 4 let's bring in the Xbox 360 controller because we don't quite yet have an Xbox one controller you can see here is the difference it actually almost has the same silhouette on the sides here like if you really look at it they almost look similar right here on this on the sides which is very interesting considering a lot of people really preferred the Xbox 360 controller the slim not the original giant one that we all know and love or loathe if you're me I thought that one was way too big but this one the the slimmed down controller I think is a really great great controller so it's nice to see PlayStation sort of taking maybe a couple of cues from the xbox360 controller and designing thusly which is pretty nice so here is our xbox360 controller not not too different and then of course just for fun and in comparisons purposes because this is next-gen here is the Wii U gamepad obviously completely different than anything that you're gonna see on the Xbox one or the PlayStation 4 but to be fair you can do remote play on the PlayStation 4 so I guess well we'll give it a pass but yeah very obviously very different if you haven't seen the Wii U gamepad compared to the Dual Shock for it that's what it looks like which is a little bit nuts but yeah that is our that is our very brief controller comparison of next-gen controllers and almost we don't have the Xbox one so unfortunately we couldn't do a full three device comparison but we will be checking out the Xbox one controller next week so that is our DualShock 4 controller comparison give us a thumbs up if
