I am the first generation gamers and of course true for me a Next Gen console honor. After the PS3 controller could not stand up to the XBOX controller has reworked and changed as the L2 and R2 buttons on the model of Xobox Vontrollers Sony. The sticks have been much improves and now have a well. This is good and sensible improvements. Then why only 1 star? The quality of the controller is the worst thing I've ever seen, witnessed and recorded with controllers: Battery life keeps only about 8 hours. If Dan is still chatting to the season is rapidly reduced to 6 hours. In return the charging cable is also a moment when an extension is connected in between no longer goes to the chat ... For quick power consumption of the inter-alloy batteries also still contribute to the light bar and the speakers of the pads. The light bar is completely unnecessary for me and has been covered by me with a sticker. The light otherwise reflected in television. Even if the light intensity is all the way down! In dark passages game I saw the light of the controller. The speaker is nice, but is not used by me. I play only with headset! so I can not hear the ... stupid is if, for example Audiologs at Killzone only via the controller play on and listen werden.Schnell headphones ... I admit this is my personal impression, but: What did not work: The build quality is under all. The Thumbsticks wear out. And not after several hours but after a short time. So I have with me unfortunately Gripp-covers. Unfortunately, because the ThumbSticks in fierce firefights still are too slippery .. Then there is the case: My Controller has fallen from bed (40cm height). The left side (I call it that the left horn) has been doing apart. I have never opened or so the controller, but now I had this screw (warranty off!) To the plastic to let into its place. Well anyway is still an offset to feel :(. I have to PSX 1 times the controller already with frustration (yes that happens) thrown to the ground and it's ever happened. I have all this and still run perfectly. The controller the PS4 has not even maintained for 6 months. sad but true .... I can only say: Hopefully come (very) soon a 3rd party manufacturer and is perfect for making a controller. This has only the defects from the many recessions have not and then determining a best seller. I do not understand because Sony. The controller is the wichtgste element of the console. I have in hand, which is virtually the only connection to the console ... I really consider to sell mine, because it's no fun. Absolutely NO BUY recommendation rather waits for 3rd party manufacturers, or Sony reuziert the price significantly.
