Dual Shock 3 Won’t Work With PS4

Ben-Dutka 66 Comments

The new Dual Shock 4 controller is definitely an upgraded version, but if you'd still rather have the older iteration, you're out of luck.

Before Sony officially unveiled the PlayStation 4, there were rumors that the system would support the current Dual Shock 3. However, according to Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida , the PS4 will not be compatible with this generation's PlayStation controller.

Yoshida confirmed that the PS4 does support Move, but does not support the Dual Shock 3. We already knew it would be compatible with Move, because Media Molecule had an in-depth presentation during the PlayStation Meeting that focused on their new-found fascination with Sony's motion sensing accessory. And that Dual Shock 4 is awfully nifty; it has a front-facing touch pad, a new Share button (that should prove revolutionary), a built-in speaker, and upgraded rumble functionality.

Still, it would've been nice to be able to use our current gamepads.

Dual Shock Controller Getting All Blinged Out In October

Ooooooh…gold.

There are quite a few available colors for the Dual Shock 3 controller right now, but the coolest – or perhaps the gaudiest – will become available exclusively at GameStop .

Yep, it's the Metallic Gold controller and it's coming to stores in October (the 9th, to be exact). Me, I really want a dark forest green one, but I'm happy with silver and blue right now. As for our European friends, the gold PS3 controller will also come your way, and you're getting it this month, too…lucky bastards. It'll be released as a "limited edition." Check out the European blog post if you're interested.

We really need to get some new hardware colors, though. What's the point of having all these great shades for accessories if we can't match it up with our systems, damnit?
