I'm looking at IGN's write-up regarding the PS4 prototype controller. Dual analog, speaker, move sensor, and touch pad.... how expensive do you think think thing will be? Can they do that for under $100?

Good question. I like it though...seems to be taking the best parts of the PS pad and improving/changing the worst parts. Maybe Sony have pulled their heads from their asses.

Yeah Nintendo have a real serious problem on their hands with the Wii U. Heads are bound to roll, Iwata's and Reggie's will likely be among them. The lead up of the Wii U from official unveiling to launch was the worst I've ever seen for a system, overly secretive. Then you have the whole thing with Nintendo with-holding specs from third party developers. Now you have Microsoft and Sony about to launch their next gen consoles. It would appear that it's theirs to lose now.

I'm kind of "meh" about the PS4 controller overall. On the one hand I'm interested in the touchpad and the speaker but on the other hand I don't care for the stick placement and was hoping they'd change it up. Hopefully they'll improve the feel of the L2 and R2 triggers as I found those a bit off-putting.

The PS3 worked just fine for me.  If they wanna change the R2 and L2 buttons to triggers, then that would suit me as well.

My biggest issue is the touch screen. I don't really like touchscreen controls unless I have a stylus. Plus this is so small there's really not much more you can do with it other than just a simple swipe. Seems very limited at that size.

If that is a Move sensor on top, how would that actually work in a game? I'm not going to swing a gamepad around; that would be awkward as all hell.

I don't see how that could possibly be a touchscreen.  It's too small.

IGN says its a touchpad, kinda like the ones on laptops. Seems pointless to me.

Go back and watch Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls and then tell me you're still excited.

That wasn't Ford's fault.  That was the horrid second half and over reliance of CGI.

I still hold him partially responsible. He had been putting off doing another Indy movie for 20 years until they had a good script that he thought did the franchise justice. THAT was what he chose? That was what he deemed worthy? Fuck him.

You have that story wrong, Ford was always willing to do anothe Indy movie, he was dying for one. It was Spielberg and Lucas that could never agree on the right script and time to do it, somehow that is what was chosen.

Ford was AWESOME in Indy 4, its all the CG crap that ruined it.

Ok how about you bring me proof of Ford not wanting to do it. What are you talking about they spent a decade trying to get Indy 4 going, why would they ever try to get that movie done if Ford was not down for it. It was ALL Lucas and Spielberg.

Just read about the development of the movie

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Kingdom_of_the_Crystal_Skull#Development

Harrison Ford LOVES Indiana Jones, he will make a million of them if he can, until he is dead.

"The actor himself said, "Am I into it? Who wouldn't be? I don't think that's reality. It's a fun rumor."[27] Ford said he would return for a fifth film if it doesn't take another twenty years to develop,[28] while Spielberg responded it would happen "only if you [the audience] want more".[29] In an interview with Time, when asked about passing the fedora to LaBeouf in the next film, Ford said, "What are you talking about? It's mine. I would love to do another Indiana Jones movie. George Lucas is working on an idea now. Shia can get his own hat. I earned that hat."[30]

Also in a Barbara Walters interview with Ford which I saw many many years ago when asked if he would do Indy again he said (cant find video but they have his quotes)

[asked if he would ever play Indiana Jones again] "In a New York minute."

She asked him about Han Solo:

[asked if he would ever play Han Solo again]" No, because I have outgrown that character."

Well so much for that. LOL
