The Evolution of The PlayStation Controller

  1. 1995 – PlayStation Control Pad: Shaping the Future
  2. 1997 – Dual Analog: More Power to Your Thumbs
  3. 1998 – DualShock: A Shock to the System
    The first PlayStation controller with vibration feedback and the last to be released for PlayStation, the DualShock let you physically feel the force of a Tekken 3 beatdown. Some developers realised that having two motors allowed for stereo vibration feedback; the helicopter scenes in the original Metal Gear Solid were particularly impressive in this respect.

  5. 2006 – Sixaxis Controller: Look… No Wires
  6. 2007 – DualShock 3: Return of the Rumble
  7. 2013 - “Share” button as one of the biggest features of the DualShock 4, allowing players to easily send tidbits like video clips and screenshots to places such as Ustream, Facebook and, naturally, the firm’s own PlayStation Network. Has enhanced rumble capabilities.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment Available Now On PSN

“What once was a rumor, is now a Sony confirmed fact. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is available now on the PlayStation Network.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment originally released for the PlayStation, and it shouldn’t confused with Persona 2: Innocent Sin which released for the PSP in 2011. It’s one of the more difficult to find PlayStation games, so it’s nice that players will now be able to check out the game without having to track down a physical copy.”
