The DualShock 4 controller for the PlayStation 4 is the best one ever wielded by Warframe developer Digital Extremes and the studio already has mechanics that take advantage of the device's touchpad.

The PlayStation 4 is out in November and will be accompanied at launch by quite a few games, including free-to-play online action game Warframe, which was demonstrated at E3 2013 last month.

According to the Creative Director of developer Digital Extremes, Steve Sinclair, the DualShock 4 controller is one of the best attributes of the PS4, judging by a talk he had with VG247.

"The DualShock 4 is the best game controller I’ve ever put my hands on, I’m so excited about it. It has touch screen controls. At E3 we showed little swipe gestures to activate your Warframe abilities that people thought was really cool. There are the 'social feature'’ like the share button, all those integrated features where you can say 'I just did this cool thing in Warframe' and that pushes out over your network."

Warframe will be among the many free-to-play games for the PS4 available at launch.
