What To Expect From the Next Generation Consoles

What to Expect from the Next Generation of Console Controllers

E3 has come and gone and TechnologyGuide has everything covered. From announcements from Microsoft to Sony to Nintendo to some serious hands-on time with devices and game, TG is the one-stop-shop for everything E3.

Game previews are coming soon, but before you can play a game, you've got to get your hands on a controller. Microsoft is releasing a new Xbox and Sony is releasing a new PlayStation, but with new consoles come new controllers. Serious gamers are indebted to their controllers and rely on comfort for results in the game. Are the new controllers up to snuff?

Let's start with Sony, the arguable winner of E3. Sony has been busy making more than a few changes to its upcoming PlayStation hardware; the most immediately striking of which can be found in the new DualShock 4 controller.

There are a number of shakeups in the PS4's pad, but on the surface, much of the DualShock 4 is naturally reminiscent of the DualShock 3. It's slightly heftier, somewhat softer, and feels a little more elongated than before, but the triggers, bumpers, d-pad, joysticks, PS button and trademark Square, Triangle, Circle and X buttons are all in the same spots.

» Read on for details of the new controller and what TG thought about the DualShock 4!
