DUALSHOCK 3: Player Impressions

Member AceKyoto of the Official PLAYSTATION Boards managed to get his hands on an impored DUALSHOCK 3 controller. He was polite enough to share his impressions, along with bragging rights.

The controller is a lot heavier and feels more solid, and doesn't feel like it breaks by dropping it on the floor lie the SIXAXIS does. The L2 and R2 buttons are a bit harder to push in than before, making them a bit sharper.

The rumble feels good on the controller, probably no different then the rumble you feel on the PS2. The rumble is backwards compatible as the user tested it with God of War and Gran Turismo 4, and it did work.

He concludes it with saying that the controller is much better than the original SIXAXIS controller, the buttons have a slightly heavier clicking sensation, and the analogs sticks and the shoulder buttons have more weight to them as well.
