Support NeoGAF

[Imtjnotu]

For a gibbon.

So I take it only your left thumb is capable of cramping and not your right?

 

[GHG]

Well if it will support an assistant it's also always listening, and to work it needs to be always connected to the internet.

Which can probably be turned off.

What's your point?

 

[Okami Haundo]

Clear answer, I get it, and also that is taken from before with the Novint Falcon
https://www.wired.com/2008/09/review-novint-f/

I give SOny they adapted that to the size factor and sleek design though.

Eh, I wasn't trying to say Sony is the first or anything. Just that I've seen a few people compare it to the Xbox triggers which isn't correct. It's a different tech with a different purpose is all.

The back buttons can replace buttons from the front of the controller. So like on the PS4 attachment, you can set one of the back buttons to be square.

So now, in a game like COD, you don't have to take your thumb off the right analog stick to hit square to slide on the ground. This gives you a nice advantage of being able to continue moving the camera and aiming while sliding, since your thumb never leaves the stick.

And with the attachment Sony made, you can program the two buttons to be anything - face buttons, dpad, ect. So you can really customize it for every game.

That sounds pretty cool. But maybe too expensive to put in the default controller.

That all of this was a huge problem in the beginning of this gen with the Kinect, but now it's all fine. Even though you were also able to turn off the Kinect. Just typical fanboy hypocrisy that I'm pointing out.

 

[Mokus]

I said this in the next-gen thread, but I'll say it here too. Have we talked about the built-in mic and how it makes that patent about "Playstation Assist" seem much more like a real product?

They only mention doing "quick voice chat", but I can't see them putting a microphone in for just that.

I just hope it'll actually be useful and offer some deeper integration with PS5. I like that my Xbox works with Alexa, but the feature-set is fairly small.

The PlayStation 4 supports some voice commands, but only works when you connect a microphone to the gamepad.

Kinect was also an eyesore of a peripheral that was mandatory and had a fucking camera. This is a controller that has a microphone, just like your phone, just like your laptop/tablet, just like your headset.

So again, what's your point? Have you really spent the last 7 years stewing over this?

 

[Adam_802]

Every gen, sony makes their controllers look more and more like Xbox. One day they'll almost be as good xD

Yep yep! Should have mentioned that too. I hope we get something a bit more meaningful this time. Especially when the microphone is going to be built in to every controller.

Is he really arguing about the controller having a microphone ? Didnt go back to see how this started...

Something about Kinect rightfully being laughed out the door. It was something even Xbox fans didn't want, hence it was quickly untethered from the console.

My point is still the same. Kinect was supposed to be an NSA spy device back then, well this controller definitely with Sony security is as much a security issue. And I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy, and apparently that's a trigger for you.

It's funny how everyone on social media is gushing over than fan mock-up of the black version, rather than the official colour

Great piece of reading and understanding from you.

oh ok. So really nothing then

You don’t use Skype?
The difference is that you can do now whiteout need a headphone.

Is Skype on ps4

 

[Mokus]

Yep yep! Should have mentioned that too. I hope we get something a bit more meaningful this time. Especially when the microphone is going to be built in to every controller.

I'm sure that it's going to be used in more meaningful ways, but I hope it will be optional. It's annoying when I don't care for the gimmicky "feature" in the game but I'm forced to go with it. I could imagine myself using the voice commands more often when I watch movies or something similar.

 

[GHG]

That's because it's the superior version.

Great piece of reading and understanding from you.

If you had something to say other than crying about Kinect being supposedly hard done by 7 years ago and then drawing false equivalences to this scenario, then yeh, I wouldn't dismiss the "point" as if it were a gutter trash fly going straight past my head.

 

[webber]

Damn, I forgot about how they bamboozled us with the back buttons attachment for DS4 and now DualSense doesn't have it.
Two extra buttons at the back would help maintaining our thumbs on the analog stick.

 

[Mithos]

When your white objects in your house turn yellow, and i am speaking out of my own experience...stop smoking like a steamtrain

No smoking in this house (allergies and asthma), a little sun here and there, when you forget to close the curtains after cleaning the windows, and sweat from hands while playing.

 

[Audiophile]

Tiny differences, much more resolved and balanced; clearer branding too..

Introducing DualSense, the New Wireless Game Controller for PlayStation 5

I'm guessing that if your playing a game like Call of Duty each gun will have their own socialized rumble configuration. Heck if it's extremely good you could probably try and imitate the feel of firing different caliber pistols. Like if you fire a 22 pistol the felt recoil would be alot less...

[Die Namek Ability]

I dont see the controller as a big differator here, its not like this like the joycons.

There basically the same since the 360 pad.

Anyone acting like these 2 controller have much difference have there fanboy goggles on.
There both good controllers, its no big deal.

However i am curious how the DS5 works, I hope it offers something new and cool.

I mean factually there are some pretty stark differences regardless if they are a big deal or not in your opinion.

Headphone Jack
Light Bar
Touchpad
Mic in controller
rechargeable battery

Don't forget the biggest things of all: haptics and adaptive triggers.

If these things work well, bringing it to the masses, it's gonna be absolutely incredible.

 

[GraveyGamer]

it’s ugly. Still getting the PS5 though, hope it come out in different colors.

[IfuckinghateReddit]

Hate it. The PS controller shape is perfect and comfortable. I love that they've kept the same basic design for 4 gens. NOW they change it? Looks like an Xbox controller. Not happy with the design at all.

 

[Keihart]

The bottom hole it's a headphone jack? any bets?

and we needed confirmation of this because people started a baseless rumor about it, missinformation spreads like wild fires today.

It hasn't been confirmed that the bottom hole is the 3.5mm jack.

Wired article last year mentioned a strange "hole", it's probably a microphone. I'm 98% sure it's a microphone. The 3.5mm jack hasn't been shown yet.

It is pretty big news, if it works it might be the first introduction of haptics to general public. And might make easier to communicate the kind of things haptic VR controllers can offer.

Not exactly that hole but it does have the headphone jack, confirmed by Sony Product manager. Also you can find that at the Digital Foundry video uploaded like two hours ago or something. But anyways,
Toshimasa Aoki confirmed it

Yep, I know it has been confirmed that there's a 3.5mm jack. Many people still think that hole is it though. Anyway, not so important. We'll see it all in time.

 

[FranXico]

Love the design, but what has been seen cannot be unseen:

Personally I prefer the bra meme.

 

[Voost Kain]

Giant middle square shows they didn't listen to feedback by those who didn't like the touch pad. At least it's matte and not textured this time.

 

[Silvawuff]

Small hand club here. I dunno how I feel about this yet until I've actually held it. All the features look nice. Not sure about the light bar remaining on the controller at all. Hopefully we'll have an option now to turn the damn thing off.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

The Kinect was a gimmick that just increased the price of the system for no reason. And people hated always online because that's how the entire console was at the time...

Big difference is kinect had a camera pointed in your room too, not even sure why you brought this up to begin with.
These are 2 completely different things.

 

[Barnabot]

you know ... the ps5's R2/L2 triggers look similar to the ps4 controller's and i hope it doesn't mimic the bad qa the ps4 controller had.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Eh?

DualShock 4 was a huge improvement over the 3 and this looks like another jump.

The original DS was the best though.

 

[RokkanStoned]

Looks ugly to me, though maybe I'll change my mind over time or by seeing it in person. Though I'm glad to see it keeping the touchpad button, I'm very skeptical regarding that dpad and the R1&L1 buttons.

I like it. ALOT. That thing looks like it's going to be much better on my hands as well.
