If there’s one thing about Sony’s PlayStation 4 that is definitely much better than its predecessor, it’s the DualShock 4 controller. The third-generation DualShock came in rather a great deal of criticism, as well as rightly so, as well as the people in Japan clearly paid interest to that criticism because, thankfully, the DualShock 4 is a much much better proposition, which implies you may want to utilize it with your PlayStation 3, too.

But there’s been a issue keeping that ever because the PS4’s launch, as well as that’s the truth that the DualShock 4 would only work with a PS3 if it was linked through USB cable. While that implies there’s no possibility of the thing ever needing charging, it did imply that gamers were tethered to the console like it was PlayStation One time around again. Which is, you know, bad.

Now though, those wanting to utilize the PS4’s controller with a PS3 requirement not dig that USB cable television out each time they want to play because, finally, the DuslShock 4 will work with the older device wirelessly, just like the DualShock 3.

Well, not rather like a DualShock 3.

While pairing the two is  just a situation of heading into the PS3’s Bluetooth settings pane, the DualShock 4 will only be seen as a generic controller, which implies no rumble, as well as no movement controls. Bummer.

There’s one more drawback too. The PS button will only turn on whichever gadget the controller was last paired to, which will be a pain if you’re going to want to keep changing between a PS4 as well as PS3.

Still, if those three things bother you, or you just like the DualShock 4 so much that you can’t stand utilizing the DualShock 3 any type of longer, then this news is definitely going to be music to your ears. It’s just a pity that Sony hasn’t gotten around to making the thing work correctly yet.

Maybe in one more six months. perhaps never.
