Rumor: PSP 2 Features Reverse Touch Screen Controls

[V8 Ninja]

Hmm...I'm gonna need proof that the execution will work before I buy.

 

[Dexiro]

Huh? I'm not entirely sure how that would work, i need pictures D:

Reverse Touch Pad technology: it touches you.

In Soviet Russia, you do not touch the pad...

Sorry, I couldn't resist XD

 

[Kiithid]

Begone the claw!
A new age of controllers are coming, behold the crab, since the claw doesn't hurts your hands enough.

 

[Jared]

I actually quite like the idea, and, could work! I think its awesome they are experimenting with something new!

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Here is how you make a PSP. Take a Dualshock controller, and strap a screen to it. It might look ugly, but it would be functional.

Reverse touchscreen = It touches you?

My phone has a reverse touch screen, and I keep the thing turned off, because it's impossible to hold it without accidentally using the touch screen. I hope Sony finds a way around such a problem.

 

[General Vagueness]

I've thought for years they should just put some buttons on the back of controllers, in some instances it would be much more comfortable and usable with extra buttons and you can't put more than six face buttons on a controller comfortably (and even six seems to be pushing it), why don't they just do that? Games industry, are you really going to be outdone in this by Nintendo?

Wish they would just design a handheld that would'nt get finger marks or a scratched screen :/ i would pay good money for this!

 

[Pendragon9]

Interesting. If they bring 20 launch titles that properly show this new tech, then I might consider taking a gander at this.

This is all we want sony, 2 analog sticks, not a Dreamcast special, TWO analog sticks. Stop messing around and just stick that second part on. And they better stick with making things like their six axis optional in games so I can turn it off. Unlike Nintendo where they mostly force controls on you even though you can use 10 controllers on the damn wii! >:C

Ugh, I'd have to try it and perhaps get used to it before I can stomach the idea. It's interesting and could be great for the system, but I just don't know how well and comfortably it'd control.

I think the title is a bit misleading, I mean reverse touchscreen controls? Slightly more understandable with "touch sensor on back"

 

[DrScoobs]

i would settle for two decent sized analog sticks, but touch and motion controls seem to be the thing these days so eh, why not?

 

[Rubashov]

Hmm...so basically a mouse-pad on the back of the PSP? It sounds like it could be a little awkward at first, but I could probably get used to it pretty fast.

 

[DTWolfwood]

So long as it comes with 2 analog sticks i could care less if they straight up copy Nintendo

2 ANALOG STICKS SONY! EVERYONE HAS BEEN ASKING FOR IT SINCE THE PSP!

I mean i figure it was just the logical step since it makes porting games over so much easier >.<

Reverse Touch Pad technology: it touches you.

That was my first thought when I read the title...
