The Sony PlayStation 4 brought with it a significantly revamped DualShock 4 controller. There’s a light bar on the controller itself, and while it does provide a really cool effect, it does feed on the controller’s battery. Some gamers would prefer to cut down on the novelty as much as they can if it helps extend the DualShock 4′s battery life even if in the slightest. If you’re one of those gamers, fret not, Sony has a fix in mind. Head of PlayStation Worldwide Studios at Sony, Shuhei Yoshida, has confirmed at the Game Developers Conference 2014 today that a software fix will bring the option to dim the PS4 DualShock 4 light bar.

If you were lucky enough to get your hands on a PlayStation 4 when it released last week, you’ll know just how much more comfortable the DualShock 4 is compared to previous versions of the DualShock controller. This has probably left you wondering how long it’ll take until you can use your DualShock 4 with other devices. We learned last month the DualShock 4 works with the PlayStation 3 as long as it’s connected via USB, but what about PCs? It looks like the extremely short wait is over as PCSX2 forum member InhexSTER has created a tool that would allow the DualShock 4 to work with Windows games. (more…)

Sony’s DualShock 4 controller, which will launch alongside the PlayStation 4, is going to be compatible with Windows without a driver for “basic functions.” This was confirmed by Shuhei Yoshida, who is the president of worldwide studios at Sony Computer Entertainment. He made the confirmation via a tweet, as a reply to a question asking him if Sony would release a driver to make DualShock 4 compatible with Windows. Yoshida replied that “the analog sticks and buttons will work just fine,” and followed up by saying that the controller will have compatibility “for basic functions” out of the box.
Yoshida didn’t elaborate exactly what he means by basic functions. There’s something else that needs to be elaborated as well. It a well known fact that many non-Microsoft controllers register as Xbox controllers with Windows due to the Xinput API, it is not known for sure right now if the DualShock 4 will or will not register as DS4 with Windows. in a response to a similar question, Yoshida replied that :wait for field report after the launch.” Hopefully this will be clarified once Sony launches the PlayStation 4. Sony’s next generation console is all set to be launched, it will start reaching customers who’ve already placed their pre-orders next month.

Even though Sony revealed its PlayStation 4 earlier this year, there are still a lot of questions gamers have regarding the console, one of which is what exactly will it look like. Since Sony isn’t prepared to unveil its PlayStation 4 yet, the company has been slowly but surely releasing additional information regarding its new DualShock 4 controller. A new video published by Sony takes another look at its upcoming controller.
The new video features a number of well-known Sony developers as they describe the DualShock 4, its new features and its overall feel. The developers talk about the DualShock 4′s light bar and its multiple functions, one of which is knowing where the players are at all times, even going as far as changing the position of a split-screen game to adjust to players changing their position. The touchpad, speaker and share button all get their own time during the video which helps in explaining what each does and how developers plan to utilize these features in their games.

During Sony’s PlayStation 4 unveiling event help over a month ago, the company took a little over two hours to detail as much of the platform and what we could expect from it as much as possible. The new PlayStation 4 controller was one of the first parts of the system that was shown off, whether they liked it or not, and some new details are coming out from this week’s Game Developer’s Conference.
We already know the controller is called the DualShock 4 and will come with a touchpad, a share button, headphone jack, and a light bar to help distinguish each player. The Verge was able to get some new details regarding the controller’s capacitive touchpad, like it being able to recognize two inputs at the same time and will be able to support a variety of gestures such as flick, pinch and twist. Developers will be able to utilize the touchpad in their upcoming games to be used as on-screen slider buttons, helping the player navigate a game’s user interface or even be used as a cursor.
