Eager players are getting their hands on the DualShock 4 controller as it hits retailers' shelves and the excitement is showing on social media sites. A Reddit user Lapwner created a thread where he posted a list of PlayStation 3 games that were compatible with the new controller and vice versa. He urged other users to contribute to the thread with experiences of their own.
"I just got my DualShock 4 today, and have noticed some games work, and some don't. So, let's try to create a list so people can see which games work and which games don't! Note that the motion sensing does not work, so even though some games work with the controller, if they are reliant on the motion sensing, then they probably aren't worth playing it with," Lapwner posted.
"I will start trying games out and add to the list, so everybody else should too!"
