Not really.

I'm sorry but FPS games dont work very well with the PS3 controller, control positioning is well off

Pretty great for everything else though

Mine works just fine mate :)

aren't the analogs on the dualshock3 a little better than sixaxis?

I find myself unable to play any FPS without a keyboard and a mouse :D

Exactly the same.

The DS3 just feels like a better build quality though seeing as it's a littler heavier.

my WHITE dual shock 3 certainly feels more solid, I can't stand using the sixaxis anymore, even though I have 2 of them.

I am currently waiting for mine :)

Is it really worth the "upgrade" ? Compared to the sixaxis... i bought it because it was cheap (from amazon 42?)

I found on the internet that the analogs are a little better, maybe because of rumble the structure needs to be stronger i guess

Yeah, as Coldgunner said, it's quite hard to go back to the sixaxis afterwards.

Not really from a rumble standpoint, but because the DS3 feels much better in your hands.

Definitely worth the upgrade on that merit, but obviously for rumble as wel:p:p

Nice to hear(read :laugh:) that :D

I can't wait to get my hands on it... Bought it from amazon.co.uk but i guess it's only coming around half august :/

I guess i need to play some FPS on the PS3 so i can get some experience... i just can't work with the 2 analogs at the same time.

I find myself rotating at 360 degrees sometimes haha :laugh:

Yeah im hugely mediocre at FPS games on the consoles because I'm so used to a KB/M.

I'm not bad though.

However when I first got my PS3 (got it before my 360), I was running around in circles in Warhawk/Resistance as well :laugh: Complete fail.

I do believe on any console though with extended play time of whatever game you're playing, you adopt and get better. Happens that way with me anyway.

Or you just neck a few beers, that always makes you think you're playing better than you are :p

LOL! don't talk about Warhawk, i bought it because of the bluetooth headset. i've tried several times to play it but i just can get anyone on my scope haha.

I've played the demo of resistance and i found that's quite good! after a few times of playing i got a little the hang of that lol

If you're interested in flying in Warhawk, create your own game so only you can play.

The just fly around, and learn the maps a bit.

That's what I did to get used to flying :)

However I still prefer just sitting in the anti-aircraft guns and shooting down planes :p

[~WinGz~]

I own both systems and each have their own qualities i like about them.

But as DL said, its a matter of preference.

I use to play my 360 all the time till it RROD on me.

But my Ps3 is what I play the most.

But either way it all comes down to who likes what.

I love my ps3 controller over xbox360s.

I have smaller hands so the ps3 fits me well, but regardless. Its all preference.

Yeah i should do that, but right now what i only play is super stardust hd. i just LOVE arcade games like this.

I bought the PS3 because i like more sony than microsoft but that might also be that all my friends around me always got PS1 and PS2... a few years ago i just spent all my time on a friends house playing capcom vs snk2 on the ps2.

I want capcom vs snk 3 for PS3 :D hehe

playing SCIV on PS3 now and the controller feels better for this type of game :D

I actually think I prefer the weight and size of the dual shock 3 compared to 360

When I had my 360 I didn't like the controller -- it felt almost cheap to me. The D-Pad (which is the first thing you use when creating your profile) instantly let me down, using it was hard work. The PS3 controller isn't perfect but it's hardly horrible!

Still, K/M > controllers for FPS every time. Arguing which is better between the 2 console controllers reminds me of that joke about arguing on the Internet and the Special Olympics.

Umm, the OP was asking how good CoD4 is on the PS3, and you've all hijacked the thread and turned it into a controller war! :D

Oh well, I better weigh in my two cents.

IMO, the PS3 controller isn't right. The left analog stick is in the wrong position, and it's far too light for my liking. I do like the d-pad, though. It's a lot better than the 360's clunky one. The SIXAXIS is a bit dodgy, though. I think it works great in Fatal Inertia EX, though! It can also work well in MotorStorm, as long as you don't set it to High! I like it in Uncharted as well when doing the balancing sequences. I like it as a secondary option for control. I don't want it to completely take over the game, like the Wii does.

When it comes to K/M vs. gamepad, I always rooted for the gamepad, but now, I think I'm siding with the K/M; mainly because it's more precise than today's controllers. I don't like using a keyboard a lot on a PC game, though, because there's hundreds of different commands! That's what drives me away from PC games. You've got 16 buttons max on a 360 controller, it's not confusing.

I think when the controllers get better analog sticks (more precise and more sensitive), then the controller will > K/M, but that could be a long time away.

Sony should come out with a newer revision of the controller, somebody spam them on the official Ps3 blog or forums lol

[Michael1406]

A third party company could make an absolute killing if they made a controller that moved the left analog stick and had better triggers. As long as it was good quality, of course!
