Sony's new DualShock 4 controller official: all-new design, touchpad, share button and more

Sony's new DualShock 4 controller official allnew design, touchpad and share button

We had a hint or two about its imminent arrival, but Sony's now made its next-generation DualShock 4 controller official at tonight's PlayStation 4 event in NYC. The company's Mark Cerny took to the stage to reveal the all-new companion, which has been redesigned and now features a more rounded form factor as well as what appears to be a slightly rubberized grip with "enhanced rumble capabilities." There's also a touchpad now (clearly taking a cue from the Vita), a headphone jack, that long-rumored share button, a light bar that, according to Cerny, will be utilized as a "more friendly way to identify players" and a stereo camera which is used to track the 3D position of the Move-compatible controller.

Not surprisingly, Sony's touting the addition of the "Share" button as one of the biggest features of the DualShock 4, allowing players to easily send tidbits like video clips and screenshots to sites social sites such as Ustream and Facebook. That's all we know so far, but we're sure to hear more about the DualShock 4 as the night progresses -- in the meantime, enjoy the gallery bellow and stay tuned to this post as we'll be adding more details as they come in.
