HDMI 1.4 Supports 4k.

http://www.dpllabs.com/article/hdmi-rev-14-4k-x-2k-resolution-mission-impossible

It also appears to can get Blu Ray players that support 4k ( Upscale ).

Sony BDPS790

So yup, so I'm sure we will see some 4k support on the new console's.

Wonder what the port on the bottom of the sticks is for..

probably the same thing as the 3.5mm jack on the bottom of 360 controllers

this is one thing that i thought the 360 controller had right over the PS3 controller. it allowed for plugging in things such as a keyboard or headset directly without having to have the wireless versions and worrying about another battery

Positions of the analogs never bothered me though I do hope they have indeed tweaked the triggers a little bit. Already like that the analog sticks have a bit of a lip on this new one and I hope the d-pad has a similar feel to that on the Vita. Headphone jack on the bottom makes sense if that spot above it is for a microphone, opens up voice chat for a lot more people.

Though this is one of several controller designs Sony have tested, it doesn't even have the "share" button that has been floating about in the news.

4K is way off from consoles... I don't see them supporting it

They can support 4K, doesn't mean games will use it natively, with Sony coming out with 4K TV's and a 4K streaming service I don't see why the PS4 wouldn't.

Here's a mockup of the controller that I found on Reddit:

Looks really nice.

That actually came from a guy on Neogaf who has been making controller renders as we were getting leaks.

360 controllers use a 2.5mm jack, if this is 3.5mm that would be great as it would be far more universal for using your own stuff.

There are two small buttons one next to the D-Pad on the right and one next to the normal face buttons to the left, people think it will just be Start and Select as usual just in different places so they aren't further under the touch interface and can't be accessed because of the sticks.

Wasn't there going to be a share button? Press it, it takes a screenshot and shares it on facebook/twitter? Or was that just a rumour?

I've read a lot of debates these past few days about the analogue stick placement, and I do believe at the end of the day Sony will simply cater to those buyers that have been PS1/PS2 owners. For the majority it really is simply a preference, not that the controller doesn't work.

Spending time to make the finer details of the dualshock more ergonomic will suit me (triggers, concave sticks, grip, ect). I do have to admit I'm simply used to the PS style controllers, and can use PS or Xbox without any real noticeable difference.

I've been going back and forth from the 360 controller and the dual shock a lot lately and honestly I can't notice a huge difference. I think the 360 controller is a bit more confortable: the weight and shape makes it feel a little more substantial in your hands. After 10 minutes playing, you kind of stop noticing.

They should bulk up the DS a bit, I use the EA Sports Comfort Pack on my DS3, mostly for the triggers but it has rubber handles for the DS3 to make it fatter to hold. I find this more comfortable now.

The triggers were the biggest crime though, I really do not know what Sony were thinking.

in the end, if you really want a controller with the left stick on top like the 360 controller then there are plenty of good 3rd party controllers that do that. even some that are truly wireless like the sony controller

It should be really hard to somehow not notice a huge difference since the position of the left stick on the 360 controller feels like far more of a natural position than the dual shock's ever has.

Nop.... on the contrary, All my life my left thumb has been able to reach the directional buttons, then the analog was introduced and particularly I feel it far more natural that way, and this even predates from the nintendo era.

Once I'm absorbed by the game, I really don't notice.

They won't change the placement of the analogue stick, it's been that way since the PS1.

Unfortunately that's probably true. The one time you may actually want sony to imitate the competition, they wont do it.

How come im the only man on earth to have no issues with them what so ever?

i find they're just fine as well, now if only they were pressure sensitive, so many possibilities

I really don't get the hate for the Sony controller. If anything, the XBox's controller is technically the foreign controller. Many people, myself included, had to get used to it, not the other way around. I personally do not see anything wrong whatsoever with the placement of the analog sticks on the Dual Shock, but then I also played a hell of a lot of games on my PS2.

The only thing IMHO they need to improve is the lack of triggers, and I have personally always used the $5 Real Triggers to make up for this fact. That is literally it. I find the D pad to be better on the dual shock, I feel the analog triggers themselves have a bit more stiffness which I prefer. I actually really enjoy it as a controller. I also really like the XBox controller as well. Someone already said it, within 5 minutes of playing a game I honestly am not even thinking about what controller I am using, they both feel equally natural.

Unfortunately that's probably true. The one time you may actually want sony to imitate the competition, they wont do it.

like i said. plenty of 3rd party options, some even without need for a dongle like this one http://www.gioteck.com/products/playstation-3/controllers-ps3/gc-1/

i find they're just fine as well, now if only they were pressure sensitive, so many possibilities

If you mean work sort of like a throttle then they kinda do cause in Most wanted a light press keeps me under 35mph where as hard down is well full throttle.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
