It finally looks like we may have an actual picture of what the PlayStation 4 controller
looks like.
The picture comes by way of Destructoid, which posted the picture taken from an unknown source.
We reached out to our own sources here at IGN, and they were able to confirm that, yes,
this is indeed the PS4 controller.
Many things to point out here.
We can clearly see that touch pad in the middle that was previously rumored.
It’s not a touch screen, but a pad like the back of the Vita.
So we don’t expect it to actually display anything.
The analog sticks have been changed to be concave like the Xbox 360 controller.
But they’re still right next to each other, instead of at an angle.
It looks like there might be a speaker in between the analog sticks.
I am reminded of the speaker on the Wii remote.
And at the top we can see a glowing blue light, which indicates built-in Move support.
Once again, a trusted source tells us this is real.
However, it is apparently an early prototype.
So it could absolutely change before the PlayStation 4 is finally released.
The DualShock 3 certainly changed from its original boomerang shape.
Speaking of the PS4, we’re 99% sure it’s being announced next week, on February 20.
IGN will be at the event, and you can watch live with us.
Tune in to IGN at 2PM Pacific on the 20th for the big reveal.
Until then, stay tuned to IGN.
