Microsoft came out with its Elite Controller for Xbox One a year ago this month. Since then, PlayStation 4 gamers have been wondering if they’ll receive a pro-grade option from Sony. Thanks to a post on Europe’s PS Blog, we’ve caught our first glimpse of the answer. Sony is working in partnership with Razer and Nacon on two pro-level controllers. Both models feature extra buttons, triggers and full-on customization.
Razer’s Raiju will have adjustable trigger stops as seen on the Elite controller. It also has removable sticks and ships with a headset adapter. In all honesty, it looks a lot like the Elite Controller. Nacon’s Revolution Pro is a blend of Sony’s styling. One of the coolest features here is the ability to adjust the weight to your individual preferences. Additionally, the D-pad and stick can swap positions for an off-set arrangement. At this time, Sony has not revealed a list price or release date on these two controllers. Head below for more images of each model.

It has been a busy morning in the gaming world. Nintendo dropped news on the new Switch console along with some footage of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and now its Rockstar’s turn. The company took gamers by storm this past weekend with the very first teaser images for what could only be the next entry in its massive wild west franchise: Red Dead. Head below for the very first look at Red Dead Redemption 2 courtesy of Rockstar’s YouTube page.

(Update 11/14 1:20pm): According to reports, Toys R Us Canada has leaked the price of Nintendo’s upcoming Switch console at $329.99 CAD (screenshot below). That’s about $245 USD or so, although there is no official word from Nintendo. That puts the console in at a fairly competitive price range compared to Sony and Microsoft boxes, but has some worried about the Switch’s internal horsepower.
Well all of the rumors of a hybrid portable/home console appear to be true. Nintendo has now released the very first trailer for its upcoming new console known as Nintendo Switch, previously codenamed NX. Thanks to a modular design of the new controllers and base station, gamers will be able to switch from the couch to the road in no time at all. It is basically a mobile console with a TV dock for playing at home and a cartridge based system similar to the 3DS.
The new Nintendo Switch is scheduled for release in March of 2017.
Head below for the initial launch trailer along with some new gameplay footage from the world’s most anticipated game ever: Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (currently $47.99 shipped for Prime members).
