Sony to abandon DualShock design for PS4?
A senior games studio working on an upcoming Sony game says the new system's controller has undergone numerous alterations, few of which resemble the DualShock controller that has become famous with PlayStation consoles.
Experiments within Sony's Research & Development department are thought to have been extensive. Versions of the new PS4 pad include biometric sensors on the grips and an LCD touch screen, the development source claimed.
A second source, working in a separate part of the industry but still connected to Sony, said PlayStation engineers are "trying to emulate the same user interface philosophies as the PS Vita"
"The new console - code-named Orbis - will be revealed in a matter of weeks, not months."
Sony has declined to comment about this.
While the DualShock design will not be a primary controller for the next PlayStation, it is expected that PS3 Dualshock controllers will be compatible with the next-gen system.
