This patent showcases a new form of controller form Sony. Hmm...certainly interesting. Thoughts?

Not going to give my opinion on this one because it could work well but then what's wrong with Sixaxis and a streeing wheel?

They probably didn't want anyone to take the idea first.

Patent away my friends.

Not really, it's just a patent. It's to cover any tracks if this product ever hits the market.

u misunderstand what im saying, the actual design i mean is a sign of desperation

Well that's... Unique. Could be fun for games about awesome bikers and stuff. Other than that... Pointless lol.

What the heck.

Looks like a controller add-on peripheral for Gran Turismo 5 or other races. Maybe a spaceship game or something. It looks like a steering wheel pretty much.

HAHAHAHA! This controller made me laugh. It could be a good controller and it doesn't necessarily look bad. It's just funny. It looks kind of like a futuristic bow that shoots laser beams.

I don't get it other then racing games how would you use the controller.

PlayStation Lifestyle is comparing it to a Forza controller that had limited success.

Spoiler

by the looks of the Sony controller it looks like it can go from a F1 steering wheel shape to motorcycle handlebars.

You know, I thought the PS3 controller had Siaxis in it...which could be used for a steering wheel...

But hey, I'm not the one with the billion-dollar company.

[Blasty]

That looks bizarre.

Of course it would be interesting to see. Then again alot of patents dont see the light of day.

Interesting set up, maybe it could lead to a controller that can switch from traditional to motion control.

Some driver messes up and makes himself and you crash, so your player gets out of the car and you grab the controller by the move controller(the middle) and you start punching him.

Looks cool and interesting . Seems like a hub for the ps move mixed with an adjustable all around controller . I would definately want this for playstation 4

[Lord Pickleton]

I think they are tying to compete with Nintendo by controller size.

[Alianjaro]

yuk. Sony lost one potential customer... way before seeing that actually, as I don't believe it.
