Imagine buy AA batteries for a controller in this decade. So glad Sony stuck with an internal battery.
Hopefully they didn't stuck with that battery life which was mostly thanks to the small internal battery

I like the aesthetic of the regular dark grey playstation controller being merged with sharp white futuristic edges. I wonder if the console will do the same.

Xbone controller has near perfect form so they don't have much to improve
It still has unresponsive (sticky) face buttons and a terrible D pad.... it's also for smaller hands I feel. I dunno how anyone would play a fighting game on Xbox for instance...hack and slash too. Basically anything with fast / repetitive button presses.

OK how about now?

I somehow can't unsee the overalls. But that's very nice.

I disagree, it resembles Xbox's controller more IMO and that's a good thing as it's more spaced out and suitable for larger hands.

I hope you're right. LAck of palm support (specifically the underside of my thumb part) has always been my biggest issue with the DS4.

Well, that and the general placement of the left analogue stick (not that I think it needs to be where the d-pad is - just it should be higher up and a bit less inward, because thats awkward for my thumb)

I said form. As in shape.

Not buttons and specific features. I know Xbone has issues in those areas.

But the controller shape is fantastic.

not a fan at all, looks ugly and the features don't appeal to me as a pc gamer, i'll stick with ds4 for the foreseeable future then.

Looks like the new controller is confirmed to have an Audio jack in case anyone thought it didn't.



Yet you have X fans spreading FUD, go figure


There is no 3.5 mm jack. Just look at the official renders.

Dualsense only has the usb type c port. Someone make a poll, if they miss the headphone jack.

Kudos to Sony, again they stole MS' thunder with a single tweet.

They are just not in the same league. Xbox just needs to stick to what they said a couple months back. “We dont view Playstation and Nintendo as competition.”
Not what they said a few days ago, “we have a plan to win the console war” lol

They will never have the same numbers as defect 360 sales era

Wow this looks so futuristic, I love it!

I really hope they use the special haptic feedback, to really add something over the controls of this generation.

Love lightbar on the front as well, great stuff!
 
Put me in the minority group. Looks hideous to me.

Don't really care how a controller looks though as long as I can turn off that light it will be fine.
You mean majority, even most Sony fans in the other forum hate it. Just a few diehards here defending the castle and trying to set a narrative.
This X fan was definitely given marching orders today..
If this was a 3rd party controller for any console you would be laughing too. Some people defended the boomerang back in the day so what do I know ?

Trying way too hard. Time to report back to your X Discord group, tell them you've done your quota for the day

How can you set a narrative with a simple poll? Its 400 for vs 100 against.

Me and all but one of my alts voted we liked it.

The Series X controller looks like some Walmart child's toy compared to the sleek, sexy and futuristic looking DualSense.
Except Sony tried to copy it , after years of people like you proclaiming the DualShock design as the best thing ever, and failed....hard. Anyway people were defending the boomerang with the same bs.

Oh it looks amazing. The angle of grips looks like changed a little for the better. I love the two toned design. Plus now I'm convinced two toned dev kit design will translate to the final retail box, it is clear it was their new gen design philosophy. In fact the retail box will probably be a sleeker version of dev kits, just like DualSense is a sleeker version of DS4.

That surprising, most of the post I see from you make it seem like your an Xbox fan.
for starter, i only gonna buy a ps5 at launch for the next gen and horizon is my actual gotg (with most ps4 games being 2nd-3rd place etc.), then you have to look at my post history a little bit much, by the end you are gonna think one of these 2 things:

-wow this guy is bipolar or tri-polar if you include the pc talks, this lockdown really fucked people minds.

-wow this guy really doens't give a fuck about M or sony war and it just enjoy some trolling and joking while saying what he really think without being chained by some stupid fanboysm (ok maybe i joke a little harder towards nintendo, i give you that 😆 )

i trolled hard about ps5 when the specs came out because differently from a lot of people, i care about my exclusive games being made around the most powerfull console that money can buy, but maybe the ssd will made up for the lacks of teraflops, who knows.

good readings :lollipop_blowing_kiss:

You could just use one of those dozens of rechargeable AAs you have at home. Crazy, I know. Never having to plug a cable into the controller halfway through a session.

Xbox's controller has the responsiveness of a dead slug across the d-pad and face-buttons, so... don't laugh too hard.

I think so too. I bet it will have the sexy vents at the side, like a muscle car kinda look.

i'm the only one happy with a white ps5?

I'm on the same boat, all those fully black mockup look meh. That being said, I'd love to see the white parts being replaced with grey/gunmetal, could look really nice. The only thing I dislike is the blue lightbar, wasn't a fan of the colour on the PS4 already, white would be so much better IMO.

I Like it, (well as long as you can have it all black, the white makes it look a bit cheap and tacky). The fact that the grips are replicating somewhat the Xbox controller is a big positive. The dual shock was just too small.

yeah i like a lot some of the fakes in this topic, the grey one made me squirm around my legs.

Why are you trying to use logic when replying to people that up until yesterday considered the DualShock the best controller design ever and now are worshiping a very bad imitation of the xbox controller ?
