During GDC last month, the developers behind the critically-acclaimed PlayStation VR exclusive, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, gave a special presentation. And at one point, one of the slides from the presentation featured a shot of a bunch of different DualShock 4 prototypes. And as you would expect, fans are in love with some of the early designs, and appalled by others.

There's some pretty wild designs in there that, unfortunately, we will never get to hold and test out against the final DualShock 4 design. Some of those controllers look like hand torture, but some of them don't look bad. It's pretty easy to tell the crazier designs came early, while all of the controllers that look very similar to the DualShock 4 probably came later when Sony was just tweaking the designed it liked.
