Yeah I remember my mate came back from the US where the PS3 had been released already and he had played on one and told us about the triggers and it blew our minds lol
After using all generations of PlayStation controllers and every Xbox controller, I still feel like the DualShock 4 is the most ergonomically comfortable controller I have ever held especially for super long gaming sessions. It's the perfect size imo (I have medium/average sized hands).
I agree,the dualshock 3/6axis was way too small for me,the dualsense/edge feel a little bit weird if you use it,the og PS1 controller doesnt have analog,but dualshock 1 and 2?,idk i didnt use them in years
I remember some games even brought this fact up. In Metal Gear Solid 4, one of the final "bosses" messes with your controller like he did in the first game, if you're using a Six Axis or don't have vibration he'll cry out about no vibrations, but when they released Dualshock 3 they put out an update to where if vibrations he'll cry out in happiness. "VIBRATION IS BACK!"
I remember the sixaxis. I didn't really think about the rumble when I was using the motion prompts on Uncharted 1 to dodge those zombie things, but it sucks knowing that they had rumble inputs built into all the ps3 games that we couldn't take advantage of until the DS3 came out.
You forgot that the Six Axis allows you to use the controller accelerometer function. For example you can wheelie your car in GTA4 by pulling the controller back as well with this function you were able to control the helicopter and so on
I remember the day the PS3 came out, my uncle brought his to our house to show me and my brother and when he handed me the controller I thought I’d broken the trigger buttons 😂 I panic’d so bad haha
I picked up my PS3 when they reduced the price by removing the PS2 chips, but provided rumble again. However, the short battery life annoyed me, so I picked up a fantastic 3rd party, corded option.
When you need to press the L2 or R2 repeatedly on dualshock 3 and 4, you kinda feel they don't spring back as fast as the ps2 because the trigger changed to slope and you kinda have to either wait for the button to spring back to its position or press it in a way that you're kinda holding it but not pressed yet. Hard to explain but stuff like accuracy is important especially if you are a Tekken player or Street Fighter Player
@@inendlesspain4724 fightpads are expensive option and not everyone feels comfortable using those. Even Saudi Tekken League which got $1M prize money, you will see players still using ps4 controller
Honestly for my first console and the fact they had just strayed from buttons for triggers, they were pretty fire. I even perfected my controller grip on the DualShock 3. Index fingers on the shoulder buttons, middle fingers on the triggers, and my thumbs are for the joysticks, dpad, and the PlayStation equivalent to abxy (I was not going through the trouble of spelling out each shape lol)
I remember hating how light the original controllers felt. I bought an adapter so I could use a PS2 controller but it didn't work on every game because of motion features
And literally costs you more cuz u have to change batteries though instead of charging 🙄 which saves a lot of money btw and dont say u cant wait that long for continuous gaming hours just buy 2 controllers thats it
Glad they introduced rumble, there's this neat detail in gta 5 where if you go over planks in a vehicle (for example the pier or wooden bridges) you can feel the controller vibrating slightly in time with the gaps. This detail was even in the ps3 version
I agree since I owned and play with my ps1 when I was a child and then with the ps2 controller and after that finally a ps3 I hated the trigger-like buttons and I still do, they just feel weak and like they're about to breake unlike the old ones that feel more solid and reliable
I never liked any of the PS controllers until the DualShock 4 for the PS4. Sony’s decision to remove rumble from the Sixaxis controller was stupid when you consider the Wii Remote still had the rumble motor.
First of all, dualshock controllers are superior than Xbox controllers. Try playing Tekken on Xbox, it's crap. In Playstation it feels perfect. 2ndly, dualshock 4's shape is better for bigger hands, for me dualshock 3 felt perfect using it in that game, that's why I really enjoyed the Tekken Tag2 era.
Yep, my fingers kept slipping off the L2 & R2 triggers, so i bought triggers that had curves on them. But I had to glue them on in the end because I was so heavy-handed they kept falling off. 😄 I enjoyed playing Lair (PS3) with the Sixaxis. It's like to see that remastered. Although it is an acquired taste.
you learn something new every day. I always thought the sixaxis was equivalent to the last name of the controller, so I thought the controller's full name was "duelshock 3-sixaxis"
A lot of the ps2 and ps3 games had trigger sensitivity built into the game so like racing games u would speed up the harder the buttons being pressed down and was a pain in the ass to get right with the buttons but with the triggers it fixed all that
When I got my PS3 about 6 years ago It came with two controllers one of them was very noticeably lighter and I always used the heavier one, I just preferred it. I never knew about this difference.
Lol I got a working ps2 and ps3 from a yard sale last weekend for 10$ too bad they didnt come with their own wires (I had to borrow some from my XB1 and PS1). I also need to keep an eye out for ps2&3 controllers since both of mine are crusty and or not playstation brand controllers.
Good luck finding oem ps3 remotes. It was a nightmare to find a genuine ps3 remote. I recommend looking for sixaxis ones, since all the Chinese fakes tend to be based on the dual shock 3.
I had one of that. They take out the vibration because of the sensitive six-axis. It was the first controler you can use to drive like a real car. But the games with that characteristics like F1 or NFS Carbon don't get very famous (by te six-axis feature) every one was playing in the regular way, so they change the controller. 😂
i still remember when i first got the ps3 and discovered there was no vibration, i was disappointed because i had gotten so used to feeling it in my hands, though it did lead to a funny thin in MGS4 with psyco mantis freaking out there was no vibration and then later on when vibration returned he acknowledged it returning
Yeah, the trigger buttons at the bottom were cool. To throw grenades but didn't you want to shoot with them? They went with the PS2 option to use R1 TO SHOOT AND L1 TO AIM
You forgot to mention that the sixaxis has Bluetooth disconnection issues causing missing inputs, The DualShock 3 does not have these issues as it has fixed them.
ah man i miss the ps3 controller. Tiny little thing. When i finally got my 4 i was like WHOA the difference. Same with dualshock 5. Having from going from it, to 4? jesus christ the difference
The ps5 controller is called ‘DualSense wireless controller) not dualshock 5 or DualSense 4 or whatever people are calling it sometimes but just remember
The upgraded one also had magnetic hall effect sticks. That controller will last forever. The latest revision had the crap sticks that you will find today in most controllers, and will have drift eventually.
I still got a PS3 I play sometimes it's got a powerplay aftermarket wireless controller they work just as great as an official and its got a nice weight I recommend those if your into older game consoles
There is one more. The one that came with the superslim. It has another material on the sticks, they don't seem to leak out. // Also, they are lighter and that's always a plus.
I still have my ps3 controllers and its still my preferred controller over like a ps4. the reason? i can hold a ps3 controller up with my pinky and barely feel the weight, where with a ps4 controller i find myself resting my hands on things while i play. not overly heavy but you can still feel it.
Going from Xbox to playstation I hated the PS3 triggers, they weren't shaped in a way for your fingers to properly grip them and it always felt weird when you press them in - as if there wasn't a proper center for them
I can probably imagine I owned the PS3 Slim actually and it actually had rumble I didn't even know the six axis lacked a vibration function kinda like the PS2 controller at some point in time
The PS2 always had rumble on the DualShock 2… that’s what the name “shock” comes from, dual means 2 sticks, shock from the vibration. Both were started with the PSOne and every controller since has had vibration except for the sixaxis

Thought you were cosplaying Delsin Rowe for a sec ngl
Everyone complains about the triggers on the DS3 yet I've never had any issue with them.
It's not an issue it's the feeling and the slope made it where your finger could fall off the edge of the trigger.
You didn't?

The difference between each controller is that neither were used to control a submarine full of people?
That's not a difference. That's a similarity.
The triggers feel beautiful imo, only thing I prefer over the 360 controller, which is vastly superior in every single other way
