Because they want devs to take advantage of the improved rumble features is the excuse?
PS4 controllers will work with supported PS4 games on PS5 though according to the article.
What are you smoking? Where can I get some?
You're right, we should ignore what Sony themselves say on their blog and just assume they're making it up. It's not like they have full control over the system and are doing this to push new hardware with zero new inputs.
No...although that appeared to be Microsoft's excuse for why Xbox 360 controllers couldn't be used with Xbox One games on Xbox One, as there weren't any major changes otherwise.
Do Xbox 360 controllers even work with Xbox 360 games that are played on Xbox One? Serious question.

I LOVE Jeffy Grub Grub, but it's plain flat out WRONG here. Console generations have existed for 35 years!!!! All of a sudden MS wants to shake things up and go generationless and now smart people are even falling for the trick. Yes, MS doesn't care about generations anymore and that's cool for them. But lets STOP acting as if what Sony is doing is any different from what consoles have been like for 35 years!
Plus like everyone is saying...........the PS5 COMES WITH A PS5 CONTROLLER!
Bullshit, what new input? The adaptive triggers aren't the same as pressure sensitive buttons in the PS2, they're just adding resistance feedback. The DS4 has triggers too, they aren't binary inputs.
I also don't know how your experience with Sony system trumps Sony themselves outright telling you they aren't going to work.
Didn't we learn that months ago? I'm talking specifically about the PS5 game limitation. I'd have expected PS4 games at the bare minimum to work, and I wouldn't be bothered if the DualSense had a new input that prevented DS4 from working on new shit.
You are not ready for this cringe:
When has any console ever supported old controllers for new games? Why would anyone expect this?
You are not ready for this cringe:
So just the xbox one and series x. Which makes sense since all the first party games are cross gen anyway.Ps1/ps2
Xbox one/Xbox series x
GameCube/wii
Developers have to support multiple controller types anyway. Multiplat engines probably make this stuff relatively easy to manage. You'll be able to play multiplat titles and possibly even PS5 games on PC with your Dualshock 4, you just won't be able to do it on PS5.
The biggest change is the addition of a microphone.I'm not 100% up to date on DualSense but I thought it was just an upgraded version of the DS4? What new capabilities does the DS5 have that the DS4 doesn't have besides the Create button?
DS4 will be supported on PS5, but for PS4 games.PS5 is supposed to be a radical departure from PS4 (hence the console's flamboyant two-tone design), so the lack of DualShock 4 support isn't surprising.
Because the PS5 pad is the DualSense, not the DS4, and they want you to buy their new product. Welcome to capitalism. At least this time they will support PS4 arcade sticks, wheels, etc. Something they never did before.There won't be many games that require a DualSense. All the 3rd party games will work with the Xbox One controller, Switch controller, many 3rd party controllers and only god knows with how many other controllers on Pc as well. Why shouldn't they work on PS5 with the DS4?
That makes sense.DS4 will be supported on PS5, but for PS4 games.
The Series X does, every single accessory for the Xbox One works on the Series X. People were probably hoping the PS5 would do the same thing, at least for controllers, since there is nothing fundamentally different about them.When has any console ever supported old controllers for new games? Why would anyone expect this?
Yes blowing into your controller is innovation
Once the game receives a PS5 patch it’s no longer a BC game. So seemingly kiss the ds4 goodbye once that happens. But can’t stop progress.What I absolutely do not understand....is why would Sony release the DS4 back attachment so relatively late in the PS4’s lifecycle only to not even have the option/accessory at the PS5’s launch?
Anyone think we have a DualSense back attachment incoming? It makes no sense to me but perhaps there’s a logical reason on Sony’s part. I hope to hell that Destiny 2 allows use of the DualShock 4...I mean it’s a BC game yes?, that’s PS5 enhanced of course.
What happened to the whole thing about how they hate console wars lol. What a joke. They have to respond to everything Sony does or say.
Sony believes in generations and don't care how anybody feels about it. It isn't anticonsumer, they believe in moving forward and leaving the old behind. All the advanced features which could help drive experiences forward are being championed with this decison
Sony would do the same as they did with the used game video
Don’t forget there are 2 types of consumers.All those generation old advanced features. What is with people.. Making excuses for anti consumerism
PWNED XdThis is bullshit. There is no reason the ps4 controllers can't work with ps5 games outside greed.There goes my arcade sticks and mini controllers on future fighting games again.I guess I should but an adapter or jump ship next gen.
They really want people to buy those shitty "gamer" headphones rather than let their customers use their own bt headsets like the fucking Vita did.
Wii U.
The new controller is mostly the same, also running on similar tech. So it is more like why not?

You stupid fucking idiot.
if you had the ability to read, and comprehend the info fed to you. You would realize that I am making a joke.
But your small tiny little mind, in your small tiny little skull, and the constipation that has lead to the shit inside you, building up day by day.
The poop just amassing, through your intestines, and stomach, up through your neck, ripping apart your insides. And eventually the shit builds up, and you vomit your own ass and dookie into a shit post for the ages.
The built up shit finally reaches out from your mouth, sand smears itself on your smart phone, stating the most low brow shit talking ever.
And as you are gagging on that shit, which is 80% Mountain Dew, 10% Papa Johns, and a combination of you drinking cum as a janitor at the local sperm bank for your protein needs...
ok I went a bit far.
That was aimed at MiyazakiHatesKojima, but in general I was just being as crude as possible. I have no problem with that dude or dudette. Just some late nite creative writing.
Don’t forget there are 2 types of consumers.
Those that perceive their new system getting the full might of the platform holders focus as a pro VS those that don’t value a new system focus and prefer things unchanged.
Depending on personal preference one of these approaches makes more sense.
Certainly for me unshackling from the past and eliminating weight of the technical dept is the preferred choice as it has the best chance for moving things forward and giving me what I value. Status quo does not inspire me.
In a nutshell, MS is anti consumer for a consumer like me, whereas Sony is pro consumer by aligning to my needs.
none of the features in the new controller will be essential to EVEN A SINGLE GAME that will ever release on PS5. and even if they were, you could then make an exception for those games instead of making the controller incompatible across the board.
also by the same logic Sony would need to ban every third party manufacturer to make controllers that don't have every single feature in the dual sense... and do you think that's gonna happen? do you think there will be Fight Sticks that have adaptive triggers, sixaxis and a touchpad? OR, or will we see third party controllers (including fight sticks) that will miss some or even all these features but will still work with PS5 games...?
but I guess a consumer like you can spin reality like they want in order to fit their narrative.
making the DS4 incompatible is anti consumer in every way. it's ridiculous how there are still shills out there defending this.
and we know this isn't a technology related thing, the PS5 is obviously compatible with the DualShock 4, they officially said it is, just arbitrarily not with PS5 games.
BUT GOOD! how else could Street Fighter 6 be truly next gen if you could play it with an old controller? right?
fucking ridiculous
That was seven years ago. The guy primarily responsible for that video (Adam Boyes) no longer works for the company.
Let's see when PS5 games actually start coming out, see how the controller works with them, before deciding on that.
Never mind that...what happened to Kinect?
Microsoft sure is trying their darndest to erase Kinect from history and pretend that it didn't exist.
