Actual triggers for L2/R2, and the thumbsticks have a curve on them unlike the PS3, where it was like a dome.

Imo the only place where the PS3 controller reigns supreme is the battery life

In addition to the above the feel of the sticks are much tighter and more in line with how the 360 felt. The ps4 is an excellent controller.

I played with a demo Xbone controller and I didn't like the changes to the bumpers.

Yeah, the PS4 controller is the best one yet, I think. It's a significant improvement over the PS3, especially if you have larger hands.

Not only that but it's got that sweet touchpad thing. Right guys!? It's totally not awkward and placed in a strange location or anything

So... what's the point of that touch pad, again? I haven't played anything that utilizes it.

Easier to hit select button in most stuff - but the touch features are handy at times (shrink/enlarge map like a smartphone being one of the frequent ones).

I don't find the touchpad to be that hard to press or 'out of place'. The only game that I've seen it be useful, though, is Killzone. You swipe in a direction to change your Owl's functionality. It works quite well.

I'd say Tomb Raider handled the touchpad wrong and right at the same time.

The really long press it wants for opening the map sucks - but the gestures are handy.

It was alright in Killzone, but at the same time I felt like it was only in the game BECAUSE it was on the controller and not because it added anything of value.

Pinch to zoom on maps and such would be a nice feature. Swipe to move screens on inventory or something as another. I don't see the touchpad as being really that great but there can be uses for its capabilities.

Has there been any information released on if the Kinect sensor for Xbone will fit into the empty slot or will it be just a USB accessory like it was for the 360?

I'm not sure I understand the question.

They need to release a plug so that hole doesn't fill with dust. With them removing the requirement I doubt its going to get any development especially with Microsoft's own studio getting axed.

More remakes of games that aren't even old yet. This is the new trend, I guess.

Yeah, the original was a solid game, but I have no interest in paying for it again. TLoU was arguably the best game on PS3 and one of the best period, from the last generation, and I still really only bought it again since I had credit on PSN.
