Plug&Play would be awesome, finally I can delete that annoying MotionJoy stuff.

decrypt4577d ago

Dont think it will be plug and play, but anyways motion joy isnt that bad.

ZodTheRipper4577d ago

You have no idea :D
It killed my wireless Logitech Mouse&Keyboard and I had to delete everything including all registry entries to get rid of it. Also, it's full of ads and spam since a couple of updates so I really hope I don't have to #dealwithit anymore.

svoulis4576d ago

It also breaks games like DMC and others that support controllers. I had an issue with 6 titles in my library, only solution, get rid of motionjoy and all traces in registry and drivers.

DonMingos4576d ago

there is a better option than motion joy. search for "better ds3"

FamilyGuy4576d ago

It's already been confirmed as plug and play for most of its functions. There's videos all over the place and tons of people have DS4 controllers already. You can literally just walk in to walmart, best buy or game stop and buy one early if they have the stock in.

USe better ds3, it uses motionjoys drivers but doesn't require pinging their servers to work.

LAWSON724576d ago

IT is plug and play but only with games that support DirectInput and not many do . You will need to use something like x360ce to make new xinput.dll to use it with xinput games.

akiraburn4576d ago

Yeah, I'd have to definitely agree with what Drummerdude41 said. If you want to use your DS3 with PC until a proper tool is released for very reliable use of the DS4, there's no better option than Better DS3 Tool. I only learned about it relatively recently, but I can't recommend it enough. The app is rather lightweight, taking on average 20 to 30MB of RAM to run, which is great because from what I've seen the original DS3 Tool can be using upwards of 200+ MB, while friends have reported it taking over 1GB for them sometimes.

Additionally, this new tool doesn't require you to be connected to the net to use. With the original DS3 Tool, it was learned that there is some serious security concerns regarding how and where it connects to, and if you weren't connected your analogue sticks would not function.

Anyway, if you're interested in using it, this is the link for the Better DS3 Tool: http://betterds3.ciebiera.n...

ZodTheRipper4576d ago

Even though I won't be using my DS3 in the near future you've earned your helpful bubble, thanks :)

Tzuno4576d ago

This is where MS succeeds.

DS4 Contoller is all kinds of awesome. It's weighted so well and it makes it so very comfortable to hold. Being the way the hands are shaped when you hold the controller your thumbs rest perfectly on the analogs and there new design cradles your thumbs. It is such an upgrade over DS3.

ZodTheRipper4577d ago

I agree, I hope the Dualshock 5 will stay mostly the same with small improvements, the DS4 is like a dream <3

madara0sama4576d ago

Got my controller yesterday and I gotta agree. Just have to get use the trigger buttons. It just feels so much more relaxing and expensive hehe.

WeAreLegion4576d ago

I got it working fine on emulators, as long as I don't assign the right analog stick to any buttons. It acts like the right stick is always moving. :/

I can't get it to work for anything on Steam though. Or Minecraft.

akiraburn4576d ago

Hey man, a buddy of mine linked me to this, and so far it has been quite helpful in getting games to work on PC with the DS4. It's a little extra time and effort since you have to set it for each game, but it seems to be the most worthwhile fix until someone releases a proper tool for getting it to work universally for all controller supported games.

Hope that helps.

AlexanderNevermind4576d ago (Edited 4576d ago )

Thumbs up from me. It is a very good fix for the time being. So far I got Skyrim, Dark Souls and a couple other games working with the DS4 thanks this.

@ WeAreLegion,

It works for steam games that are Xbox controller compatible.

WeAreLegion4576d ago

Thanks! I really appreciate the help. I'll try that when I get off work. :) Bubble for helpful.

Gster4576d ago

@Alexender
Hi, did you get the vibration/rumble to work using this method? Tnx

AlexanderNevermind4576d ago (Edited 4576d ago )

@Gster,

No I'm pretty sure rumble wasn't working. I gave Dark Souls the most time (played about 5 minutes). I only tried the fix last night so really didn't have much time to play.

Gster4576d ago (Edited 4576d ago )

Ah ok, thanks A N,
I hope sony create drivers soon, would be great to have the ds4 almost fully compatible with pc. Just curious, I'm only gettin into pc now, has the vibration function worked on the xb360 controllers with pc. If it does, do you reckon the ds4 would be able to aswell?

Can only imagine the amount of sales Sony would make on an almost fully compatible ds4 with pc. It seems such a great all round controller that I think many pc gamers would pick one up rite away. That would generate huge sales Sony, so it wouldn't suprise me if they announced support for ds4 on pc. Well I really hope so anyway.
Tnx again Alexander

No offense to the author, but this is OLD news. Does N4G not double check previously published articles? All I see lately is the same stories rehashed somehow. I thought this article was an update on the previous one and its not :(

MASTER_RAIDEN4576d ago

best news ever. and in case youre wondering, im pretty sure this hadnt actually been confirmed until recently. i cant wait to be able to use my controller on steam and finally be able to get rid of the 360 controller for windows. 1 controller on like 5 or 6 different platforms. sony just got the dualshock 4 all right.

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

dveio20d 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.

Jingsing20d 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.

Tanktopmaster9220d ago

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

S2Killinit20d ago

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

Jingsing20d 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.

Tanktopmaster9219d 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
