Damn that is a sexy ass controller tbh. I really like that aesthetic, and it might also clue in to the PS5's retail look. Which I think is still gonna be based on the V-design devkit personally, but with a black & white color scheme and some of the details removed since some on that devkit were a bit much.

Also really like how the lightbar is better integrated into the design; it's not obtrusive nor sticks out like it did on PS4. And lastly, glad they finally called it other than DualShock (number). I get that's the way to go for marketing simplicity, but I kind of dig the more inventive naming schemes. Well, more often than not, anyway xD.

It’s about 7% boomerang, but I dig it

I hope they ditched Bluetooth for a 5GHz direct connection, and I’m curious to hear about any low latency tech like MS mentioned.

 

[Yoboman]

Sony gotta keep forcing that light bar on us.

I am guessing at this point Sony has a giant investment in the company that makes the tech for the light bars LOL.

A lot of games and VR games are reliant on it. How are they meant to do BC for those games without it?

 

[Rest]

I'm not convinced, it feels like they're cramming gimmicks into it when they really just needed to pare down some from the Dual Shock 4. All I see is a ballooning price tag to add features I don't care about.

At least they got rid of the Glare Bar. Maybe next gen there won't be any useless lights at all!

 

[CJY]

Best i could do.

DualSense looks like it's got more FLOPs

only thing controller is missing in my opinion is back buttons

FINALLY something real! I like it

That's going to look sexy in a solid color. Give me all black or all white

 

[Captain Hero]

Who thought about new controller having no 3.5mm jack !

 

[Deleted member 740922]

Horrific.

I like it. Getting aesthetic vibes of the colour scheme of psvr. Looks sleek and cool to me. I hope the battery life has been improved. You basically needed two controllers on PS4.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

It's looking closer and closer to Xbox's controller, at least where you grip it and less distinctive of DS.
But that's when looking at it from the front, not sure what it is that throws it off so much for me (other angles/images it looks nice).

Yeah from the front I really don't like it. It just looks weird and too futuristic in a bad way to me. But I never liked Sony designs. I always thought their consoles were ugly, their interfaces from a design perspective (not layout) were never my thing. I like my consoles, and controllers to be minimal, and sleek.

 

[Hostile_18]

Ok, but what does this have to do with my post?

Your picture said you love democracy. The PS3 controller didnt because it was so unpopular by fans it got retracted. Democracy; the people spoke, Sony listened.

I think you killed my joke

 

[Bartski]

white & black box incoming. Also, so happy about the front lightbar gone! HYPE

 

[GymWolf]

reeeeee has to be torn on this one...

cons: almost all white with the small black part under the bigger white part and no more cock shape for the handles

pro: duals sense has to be the gayest name for a controller ever

ooof i'm on fire today

 

[CJY]

The PS3 banana phone controller was the original design of the DS3 which Sony walked back on because of fan outcry.

Still don't understand why. That thing looks awesome.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

I’m happy they’re switch it up because I dong like the DS4 but that thing is fugly as hell. I’m assuming the console will look similar? Looks like a 90s toy

90s toy or 90s console? 90s consoles had some of the best aesthetics out there tbqh.

Meh, still a better name than Snowflake & Safe Space xD

These look awesome, could you do one with the white shiny gold and the blue a royal purple lol. shit would be nice.

 

[Hostile_18]

I think they were worried kids would use it as a boomerang.

With any design theres objectively good and bad changes but theres also resistance to change. I think we've got to give Sony some faith that they have researched this controller and realize they will have invested alot of money into its design/ergonomics.

Luckily for me that's what my business is manufacturing basketball uniforms

[Bolivar687]

All this talk of innovation and nothing on the return of pressure sensitive face buttons for Gran Turismo It's one of their biggest games, it's worth it having it even if just for one game since a lot of people only buy their PS for GT.

Those face buttons also need the classic colors.

I guess you killed the joke by yourself.

Oh baby

that’s perfect

Good call. Can't not trust, they've actually never let me down. I've loved all the controllers, each one better than the last, DS4 was the best.

The only thing was DS3 was the third gen they used basically the same design and 360 came out feel a bit more advanced, but hey... DualSense... I'm digging it.

 

[sublimit]

I like it.

 

[Hosam6xavi]

Can't wait to hear from sony 1st party developers and Jason to say they're excited about the new controller

 

[Space Runaway]

Kinda want the d-pad and buttons raised a bit more. Mic feature seems kinda worthless to me as you'll still need a headset unless you want chat audio coming through the tv and hopefully the LED doesn't still murder the battery. Otherwise it's "fine" and looks very similar to the Xbone Sunset Overdrive pad. =P

 

[GymWolf]

Altered the colour of the buttons and for me, that looks nicer. Not as sterile at the very least

 

[Insane Metal]

That's ridiculous. It looks like a toy.

Jesus F Christ. XBox tower boring as fuck, PS5 controller fugly as hell. What a generation.

 

[Fake]

Bad day?

I should asking you that mister 'Hostile'. Lets back to the thread.

[Hawking Radiation]

Could be a good match.

OMFG I'm dying here

 

[SALMORE]

Cool i like it !! kinda reminds me of the Normandy ship from Mass Effect

 

[dolabla]

Surely the lights can be completely turned off now. That was one of the biggest complaints.

 

[ShadowWolf712]

I just learned that it has no headphone jack..........

I went from 50/50 to Fuck you, Sony.

I thought this was one.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Surely the lights can be completely turned off now. That was one of the biggest complaints.

I hope so. This and better battery life are my only remaining questions

 

[MasterCornholio]

See you in a week.

 

[Elios83]

Btw chances are increasing that Sony will randomly drop a video with the teardown of the PS5 showing the console design and what's inside. LOL.
Seems like their marketing is basically focused around socials like twitter and instagram plus their blog and youtube.
The days of dedicated events where everything needs ten minutes of PR introduction seem to belong to the stone age.

 

[mortal]

No Headphone jack? Hope this is indicative that PS5 finally have 3rd party bluetooth support.

USB C adapter seems to be the next best alternative for those that prefer analog.

Edit: Nevermind there is one after all. Still hoping for that bluetooth support though

 

[Northeastmonk]

I like it, just not in white. I’ll take one in black and one in grey.

 

[Mokus]

I just bought a 3.5mm headset

The hole for the 3.5 mm jack is there, just look more carefully.

 

[Ivellios]

Where is everyone reading that there is no headphone jack? I play almost all games with a headset so i hope this is not true.

 

[Tripolygon]

They'll more than likely include a USB C to 3.5mm port.
