Needs more boomerang.
Came to my mind, too.
But damn the Ps5 controller looks dope.
But I bet it's going to be $69,99 with Type C, build in Mic and haptic feedback.

Finally Sony fans we have good news.

Let's toss a coin to Sony, oh forum of plenty.

Edit: my social feed is about 70% against. But I think it's just reaction to change. The Dualshock hadn't advanced no where near enough since the PS1 days. Iconography dosnt over ride economics.
 
Mark my words. That built in microphone is going to become the bane of PS5 players existence. So many folks are going to turn it on and it will be their primary microphone. It will sounds like ass and everyone in party chat is going to want to murder them. For the cost of the controller there is no way that is a high quality microphone.

Won’t most people use a headset tho? At least primarily MP focused gamers

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Looks good but no 3.5 mm jack is a BIG mistake.
Didn't realize it at first, but yeah no 3.5mm jack is going to be a problem for me. At least 90% of my PlayStation 4 time has been with my wired headphones plugged into the controller jack. Sure there is wireless headsets but they're typically a) proprietary and b) only last a few hours.

Looking forward to all the accidentally embarrassing recordings though.

I hope so, but when you supply a headset people like to use them. Hell that garbo headset that the Xbox One comes with is still being used by some to this day and it sounds like someone is talking from inside of a spaghetti pot.

Looks really good,
But now I am afraid that the launch PS5 will have the same color scheme.
Which would suck considering every device in my HFI-Rack is black.

Good god why make it a console war thing? Seriously?
No need for a war in here. It’s cool if you don’t like the new controller, though

I think it’s awesome

War? Really? Over react much?

Just stating a fact. MS have literally had their console in bits for people to see to generate hype and Sony drop an image of the controller and folks lose their minds. Nothing at all "war" related there in my mind, maybe you should clean your third eye because you're obviously projecting.

Yeh I can see this being a big problem for me if they don't include a USB C 3.5mm adapter (I assume the controller will be USB C) in the box.

Whenever my wireless headphones run out of battery I just plug them in to the 3.5mm jack and carry on.

Would look great in all black or all white but that colour scheme really doesn't do it any favours, looks horrible. Hopefully there's a choice at launch although I doubt it

It looks really great from this angle, that white is amazing (it's like my iPhone XR in those images).

Doesn't look as cheap from this angle. My first reaction was yuck but it will be better in the flesh.

Looks great and seems like it will be as comfortable to hold as the DS4 which is nice.

Not a fan of the other stuff as they all sounds like they'll increase the price and reduce the battery life, but let's wait and see.

I thought DS4 was too simplistic in its design, this looks much more premium.

Overall it looks like Xbox One and DS4 controller had a baby, which I'm okay with. The color scheme isn't meshing well, but maybe it'll grow on us with time.
Ya I’m mostly taking about the color scheme. The design looks alright.

Love the color scheme. Love the shape overall. I'm very, very concerned about that ridge that runs around the midway point of the "handles." Looks like a spot for dirt and grime to accumulate as well as being uncomfortable on the fingertips. We'll see, though.

I like how they removed the colors. Looks very mature. Cannot wait to use this while I play mature games like The Last of Us 2.

It is, everyone that bought a headset (3rd party or Sony/PlayStation's own) is now useless.
I'd rather wear a headset with a mic closer to my mouth which I can decoupled than have it build into the joypad itself.
Funny story I'm buying a HyperX Cloud Mix soon, though I wonder if you could use Bluetooth headsets and that would automatically disable the build-in one?

Getting real strong Vita vibes from this angle and that was the greatest dpad ever - even better than the GB Micro and that takes some doing. The finish looks spectacular on the white parts, black parts not so much.

This here, right the fuck here. I bet they actually WON'T let you turn these fucking lights off again, just like with the PS4. Why are they so goddamn obstinate about these lights? I don't understand, it such an inconvenience on top of sucking battery power.
I know its a part of vr so i get it but let me trun it off for fucks sake.

The person who appreciates it is my daughter while playing spyro.
She is only 5 but she loves to see her life displayed in colors. She know red means you get hit one more time you dead.

But yeah why keep this shit now that its not part of vr.
Come to think of it how will the vr camera sence the controller wothout the light on the back?
So much for resusing the current vr headset on ps5

You seemed very work on for someone who didn't overreact.

Like it? Cool. Don't like it? Cool too. But whatever this comment has to do with a controller reveal is beyond me.
