The PlayStation 4's Dualshock 4 Will (Reportedly) Work on Computers

A rumor is suggesting that the PlayStation 4's Dualshock 4's will work as simple plug-and-play controllers on all PC's. This rumor comes after a Redditor at PAX Prime spoke with the developers of the PlayStation 4 game, Galak-Z, who confirmed this to him.

That would be nice if its true! I use a 360 controller now when i play on my pc but i would rather use the dualshock because im more attuned to using it.

shoddy4635d ago

Yay now I play something beside just fps and rts games

Eonjay4635d ago (Edited 4635d ago )

Man that thing looks so sweet. You can tell that they really went to town trying to improve it. I haven't heard one criticism from the people who have used it and I am excited to see what features will be added to the touchpad. IGN says its used to control the map in AC: Black Flag letting you "pinch to zoom", dragging and setting waypoints.

Also, I love the look of the material on the backside of the grips. Looks comfortable and sturdy. All while maintaining a slender profile.

That's cool I use the DS3 to play Ps1 emulator games on Pc. Really awesome.

PS4 dev posted this vid last night, it does work with win7 but I hope Sony decides to release official drivers.

Hopefully there wont be a need to use MotionJoy anymore. It get annoying if you accidentally unplug your cord or need it it charge something else.

I hope we can change the icons on the PC to Playstation icons instead of the forced Xbox icons. Really annoying.

Xristo4635d ago

I used to use MotionJoy but didn't like how it would take me to a Chinese website upon closing the program. So I just found a video on youtube on how to configure your computer to recognize a PS3 controller upon plugin WITHOUT software.

Read this for more about MotionJoy:

It would be nice. Motioninjoy serves good as a workaround, but it's not perfect.

yea dude download motion joy on your pc you can set it up and use your ps3 controller in like 5 mins or less. there is also a youtube video on how to install it.

ThanatosDMC4635d ago

Yup, but make sure you change the shoulder buttons so that the fire is on R1 and sights on L1.

norkee4635d ago

ive been tempted to try the ps move navigation controller with a mouse instead of a keyboard. might make battlefield 3 for pc playable from the couch....

FamilyGuy4635d ago

This would be awesome!
*crosses fingers*

Crazyglues4635d ago (Edited 4635d ago )

Oh hell yeah, this would be super awesome, It would also justify why I need a second controller - Because I was already getting a second one at launch....

I have long had the 360 PC controller for my PC but to now not have to worry about batteries and be able to use the new PS4 would be awesome -fingers Crossed-

Would be really cool - This time around Sony you are firing on all 12 cylinders...

Ryto4635d ago

I use a 360 controller too, but it's getting kinda worn now aha! Hope this is true!

AzureskyZ4635d ago

With shooters i normally prefer the 360 controllers, but with rpgs and fighting games i prefer dualshock-- however if the reports are correct dualshock 4 is catered to both crowds, so this might become my pc choice controller as well.

HammadTheBeast4635d ago

There have been multiple confirmed reports of people saying that a lot of the indie PC games were played with DS4 on PC's.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4635d ago

yes!!!!!!!! bye bye 360 controller!! I hope this is true! DS4 on pc wont hurt ps4 just more money for sony and more options for me!

cleft54635d ago

Yes, I really hope this is true.

If true then I'll be able to play Titanfall with it on my pc when it's released :)

Sarobi4635d ago

Oh man this would be cool. I hate using Motionjoy just to use the PS3 controller on games.

_FantasmA_4635d ago

Try DS3tool also. I don't mind using those programs. As long I gets to use my DS3, I'm happy.

Hassassin4635d ago

they're the same thing or not?
anyway, it works fine, and has the plus side that I can use my ps3 controller for any emu out there (think, Smash bros @1440p/60Hz)

dboyman4635d ago

I agree. Tried it one time, and it messed up my Logitech wireless USB keyboard to point it was unusable. I find Motionjoy messes with USB drivers on my PC, so stopped using it.

JuniorCE4635d ago

Nice! The best controller to play on PC!! Now I can pre order Titanfall on PC :-D

annus4635d ago

For a match until you get utterly smashed.

I'm good with m&k, as well as a controller. Controllers are just to inaccurate compared to m&k in high speed situations.

InTheLab4635d ago

with controller support comes aim assist. It's not as cut and dry as you believe.

Feocart4635d ago

This isn't far-fetched at all, most likely true.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio15d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing15d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit15d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing15d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9215d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
