Rumor: Sony leaving behind Dualshock controller design for Orbis, looks to PS Vita for inspiration

I'd quite like to have a new design. It makes it actually feel different and new. They've had these dualshock designs since psone now, that's a *bleep*ing long time. Even though they're pretty good. Time for something different and modern.

Touch screens though? Bloody hell. The current ones cost way too much as it is.

Maybe the controller will just be a Vita, that way PS4 and Vita can die together!

Honestly I wouldn't mind that but the PS3 controllers must also be compatible.

This just in, Sony plans to unveil their new 'Playstation 3DVita' at this year's E3!

Jokes aside, I don't mind change. As long as it's *bleep*ing tested well before it's shoved down our throats, then by all means.

They might as well make PS move the native controller for PS4 just to troll everyone.

Its alright mate. Pretty much australians means the "whites" and aboriginals "blacks". Aborigonals dont like to be caleed australian cause aboriginals called it a different name until white people came. So there is alot of conflict in certain areas of australia.

Makes sense to me, thank you.

Without meaning to fan the fire though do they have a name they accept for international geographical purposes?

No once the white people had come, it has been known as australia. The real name is hard to find cause aboriginals not talk about it no more, only the really old ones.

Dude this is not geography class. Just stating some truth since the mrs is half aboriginal.

Plus australians never used boomerangs. Aboriginal use them for hunting.

I know this isn't a geography class, but to be honest, you are confusing me. Aboriginal means indigenous. Not strictly indigenous to your island but in general.

I know I am probably seeming a bit thick but, as I am not from your country, plus tell me if there is something politically incorrect about calling the indigenous people of Australia and their technology, 'Australian'. I'd hate it if my ignorance of a foreign culture (or two interwoven foreign cultures) accidentally upset or offended someone.

Sorry for going on about it, I just don't want to cross any cultural taboos with people who might not be as forgiving.

do something stupid like put a screen in the controller.

While I am sure you that if you could try their finished product (or for that matter if you were able to rent a Nintendo Wii-U for the sake of sampling the prospect) your concerns might be somewhat relaxed, I highly doubt they would scrap a traditional controller in favour of this type of design.

I mean Nintendo were 'threatened' when publishers thought they might not include one, so I doubt Sony would 'get away with it' either even if they wanted to. So I'd say you are pretty safe regardless.

Assuming of-course they don't try to base them both on some form of Australian projectile. Hahah, sorry couldn't resist. XD

actually that "projectile" u are referring to isnt australian, its aboriginal.

So it was used by the aboriginal people's of various regions, as opposed to just the ones of Australia? May I ask which other regions?
