On 26th of October 2015 Nissan’s Project Controller will enter the PlayStation Controller Hack phase. The idea with this phase is to reveal how the actual controller hack and programming was done. We are going to talk about the accomplishments and challenges we faced.

Here’s the description of the phase on Project Controller web page:

26th of October – PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER HACK

Hacking the PlayStation controller turned out to be quite a hassle.

Our initial idea was to hack the Bluetooth signals but that was way too tricky. After several failed attempts and moments of despair we decided to open up the controller and add our own cables to send signals from a microcontroller to simulate the button pushes. Now, after hours of hardcore hacking, everything is working more smoothly than we could possible imagine.

Next we need to connect the controller to the Nissan QASHQAI.

In addition to the description above, we are going to post film content and still images of the hacking process on our web site and social channels. But in order to create enough social buzz, we need your help.

Attached you will find still shots, a GIF animation and a link to a YouTube video (https://youtu.be/tHB3-DWbFH8) free to be published any way you choose. Please post and boost them as much as possible. You can also share this content with your associates and influencers.

We encourage you to use your imagination and hope that you post in your own words, but here’s a few example posts just to demonstrate the correct tone of voice.

It’s August and some of the most hyped games of the year are on the horizon Call of Duty Advance Warfare , Destiny, GTA V Next-Gen,and that’s just a few to mention the question you may be faced with is should I upgrade my console.  I purchased mine during what seemed to be a well calculated move in marketing whether it was EA or Microsoft during the Titanfall hype constant release date changes got old fast and Xbox one bundle prices dropped  it seemed to be the perfect time so with some pushing I got my wife to let me open my wallet and upgrade. What you should know before you bite the bullet if you have no friends with Xbox One and you only like to play with friends don’t buy it you’ll be bored immediately unless you love to play single player campaigns for me I am the first and only one of my friends to have it but I can say I’ve met new people that I tend to play with regularly. Are the games better and my question is it depends on what you think better is Visually,Competitively that’s what you have to ask yourself.  The only testament I have is with battlefield 4 let me honest for a second neither version Xbox 360 or Xbox One  was great and they continue to have problems but for me personally I have not picked up my 360 version since I bought the Xbox One version there were details in Siege of Shanghai Tower that I never would have known existed like curtains that blow in the wind once you break out the winds or the bar that is constructed on the top level to add more cover those things may seem insignificant but they truly add a different level of play to that game.

BF4    So with that being said that is the most important thing about switching to next-gen ask yourself how much you want to spend on games. All of the upgrade to next-gen games offers have expired . I picked up BF4 at Walmart on Black Friday so I took a small lost to purchase it for Xbox One too but can you really spend $59.99  all over again for something you already have for blowing curtains that is the question to ask. It’s worth it if you can afford it but the best time to switch to next -gen would be when there is a new game coming out or a new bundle introduced to save the hassle.  So far the Xbox One has delivered the gaming experience I was looking for because I went in with the understanding that last -gen had reached its peak great games like GTA V showed there was still life left in those console while the Xbox One and PS4 have years to take them to those limits and don’t get me wrong I still go back to play MW3 ,BlackopsII, Forza 4, on 360 to play with friends. The truth is Im happy I spent the money with twitch integration html5 theres alot more to do than 360  so if you have the money free and clear spend it and if you feel like you can’t justify it yet wait your not getting left behind there’s still time left.

Free download available in celebration of Battlefield 4 multiplayer reveal.
