PS4 Conference break down part 3:Dualshock 4(With Update)

UPDATE: I have been informed via twitter that there is another change in the Dualshock 4 that not many people have noticed, before I tell you what it is, big shout out to @Fylian for this informations.
Right let me show you these pictures first.


You may not be able to tell but on the Dualshock 3 there is a mini USB where as on the Dualshock 4 there is a micro USB, this means that the charging cables for you Dualshock 3 won't work of your Dualshock 4 without you buying an adapter. You can now read the original article.

Hi guys
This time I will be looking at the new controler that we will be getting with the PS4, this is confirmed as being the Dualshock 4, and will feature a head phone jack and a touch pad, but lets have a look at the announcement.
Let me also show you a photo of the new controller.
Now lets get into it, as you can see the D pad(Directional Pad) has been tweaked slightly, the Square, Circle, Triangle and X have remained unchanged. The sticks have undergone a make over this time, opting to be more like the Xbox sticks than the Dualshock 3 sticks. The most notable thing that is new in this controller is the touch pad, now this has been confirmed as just a touchpad not a touch screen, so you won't be looking at you map or leader board on the controller. You also have 2 new buttons in the for of Share and Options, the share button will let you take screen shots of what ever is on your screen, the button will also let you record a short amount of gameplay to be uploaded to the place of your choice. We don't know the full usage of the Options button and why you can't just go into a menu but I'm sure we will find out if full usage when E3 comes around. The PS button has also been changed into a form very similar to the one on the PS vita. There is also a headphone jack in the bottom to be able to talk to friend even when you are in different games. Let me know show you the controller from a different angle to show you the controllers full potential.
As you can see now there is a blue bar similar to the move controller, which will track you 3D movements with the controller. This may have many uses with the console but it may also be neglected my game devs, only time will tell for that one. You can also see from here that you have you charging slot which looks to be the same as for the Dualshock 3. On top of that you have you R1, R2, L1 and L2, but R2 and L2 have been increased in size of the the current model, if you have ever use extending triggers on the PS3 controller this model will be more like that all the time, which I personally can not wait for, as my triggers are for ever breaking.
     They are all the main features of the Dualshock 4, I hope you have enjoyed this post, come back tomorrow for more dissection of the PS4 conference.
Thanks for reading
Ed
