Oh, HELL YEAH!!

 

[OmaeWaMouShindiggity]

Thats a nice looking controller....


I haven’t read the article but....I’m gonna assume it’s still a non-replaceable battery pack which is a no-go for me

 

[OmaeWaMouShindiggity]

Colorways for this are going to be fun.

But wow these colorways are CLEAN and the controller def looks up to date

 

[Kagero]

The dark grey one is freaking nice!!!!

 

[sircaw]

Damn the more i see those different coloured controllers the more i want it.

And controllers don't normally excite me at all.

 

[Stevonidas]

It looks like a cheap, 3rd-party knockoff.

I like it on paper, and props to Sony for trying to do something new instead of tweaking the DS4, but man, that is one fuck-ugly controller.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

I do have to say that in terms of looks alone I prefer this over the base xbox controller. It is really, REALLY sexy looking to me. I'm sorry, but it isn't even a contest for me. Good job Sony.

However, there is just no way I'd choose it functionally over an xbox controller since I hate the stick placement. Also, if it ain't got paddles it's just a no go for any controller. I don't care how good you look.

The only thing I can say other than the sticks that I'm wondering about are the spacing of the buttons on the right side. It looks pretty wide. And then how it feels for those who wear their wedding rings. It almost looks like the white areas are shells? I can see where my rings rubs against my xbox controller. It looks like it's right at the spot where the shell ends where it wraps around the handle. So hoping rings don't catch on it.

 

[bitbydeath]

I wonder if this means the console will be a matching white colour too.

Stick placement is key. Love this new design GG Sony but you’ve gotta beat the form factor of the xbox controller to steal me away.

 

[LordKasual]

this shit is ugly.

I'm retaining judgement until i hold it though.

They just better not have ruined the Dpad, that's the one thing untouched about the Dualshock since PS2.

 

[DZ_b_EZ]

It will not be the DualShock when you have to look for it on Amazon under DualSense. People adapt very fast, everyone will call it the right name in no time.

Same when the PS3 came out with the Sixaxis. People were calling it the right name, Sixaxis. Only later the DualShock 3 came with rumble etc.

Theoretically, like in the PS3 generation, we could still see a DS5, if Sony decides to make some changes and bring back the old name. But I feel this is a long term strategic change. The whole package seems to walk away from a gamey image to a futuristic high tech device, and the name helps.

Well, it'll just be me then. For whatever reason I can't imagine not calling a Playstation controller "DualShock".

 

[TGO]

My attempt

Edit beaten

 

[Sign]

What's the main thing difference between haptic feedback and rumble?

Rumble: BRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Haptic: BRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRr

 

[SonGoku]

Fixed
I'll try the colours next

This made it for me, take notes Sony!
It looks so much better

So can sony fans admit that the xbox controller is better than the DS4 since they love the shape of this controller now.

Add symetric sticks first, I do love the elite though

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Posted this in the "other" Dualsense controller thread, seems to fit here more. My biggest gripe about the ds4. I felt like the handles were appended on afterthoughts, whereaS the XOne controllers had a smooth elegant look. To me it looks like they took some inspiration from team green, which is a good thing. I really think this means the console will be white.

 

[Snake29]

I wonder if this means the console will be a matching white colour too.

That has to be. Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.

 

[DonJorginho]

This is beautiful.

I've been wanting a thicker design in the vein of the Xbox Controllers for my big hands for ages and the overall look of the DS4 albeit sleek was quite dated and lacked that oomph I like from a controller.

I'm praying for a black and blue design but the features with this controller aswell as the revamped triggers and face buttons make me a very happy chap indeed.

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Am I the only one thinking that the buttons are going to have lit up outlines? Like for optional off screen button prompts and stuff? It looks like there are already opaque outlines around them like I've seen on other things that do that. Like on my mouse.

 

[ArcaneNLSC]

A few more colourways

Iron Man

Deep Royal and Gold

Arcane Signature

Ergonomically, the XB1X elite controller is one of the best I've ever held. Sony are smart for following its form factor.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Really curious how they've implemented the haptic feedback. That part sounds awesome!

 

[Geki-D]

So to be clear, the light bar is now just decoration and serves no purpose? It's odd how they word it because they say they've moved the light bar when really they've seemingly just removed it but there are other lights on the pad. I mean on PS4 it wasn't on the top of the pad for shitz'n'giggles, it was there for PS Eye detection and served a purpose in VR games.

 

[Fake]

Color and design maybe. More curious than ever.

 

[Rossco EZ]

Colorways for this are going to be fun.

solid black is very nice that’s what i’m going to be getting for sure if that’s offered

 

[Deleted member 775630]

Where do all these colors come from? Are they all fan made? I'm only asking since Sony is not known to bring out new controllers with beautiful colors, or have their customers create one themselves. So did they communicate that there will be a change in this?

 

[mortal]

 

[TheStruggler]

this fucking means the box is gonna be white innit

FUCK

Imagine white with black trim.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

I sure hope if 3,5mm headsets aren't an option, standard bluetooth ones are.

 

[Codes 208]

Looks like a hybrid between ds4 and the xbo controller.

i can live with this

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I need dat grey on black

[Shakka43]

No light in the front, that means it wont be trackable by PSVR, but that bodes well for PSVR 2's tracking solution.

 

[Exoil]

I'm really excited that the big light bar is gone, one can draw the conclusion that PSVR2 is not going to have light based tracking because of that which I really like the idea of.

I don't get why they ditched the colors for Cross, Square, Triangle and Circle, hopefully they'll revise the controller and add those back. Also the colored PS icon in some of the mock ups in this thread looks really nice.

EDIT: Also, where are the grip buttons? I was sure they would add a couple of those after the attachment to DS4

That was my thought as well. I always thought it was awesome when the light bar would change color based on game conditions. Problem was you couldn't see it XD. Looks to be more practical now tho. Also if you could set the color based on the color of your controller would be nice. I think they abandoned the light bar when they de-packaged the ps camera way back at launch.

 

[DynamiteCop!]

Like the Xbox 360 and why I immediately got an Elite when it was offered, white peripherals are a terrible idea for a high sweat constant usage environment. Dirt and grime is going to build up and show heavily. The controller looks as expected, nothing really unusual there but the default color (likely the console itself) seems pretty tone deaf, most people want black entertainment devices and peripherals, they don't stand out, they don't catch the eye, they fade into the background.

 

[Vitter.]

PSVR 2 has to be inside out tracking and with controllers like valve index or touch.

 

[Celcius]

I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of the 2 tone color scheme but I’ll bet that the other colors will look better. I do wish they have called it the DualShock 5 though.

Edit: the look is growing on me

 

[Agnostic2020]

looks hot . Futuristic and premium

 

[Windows-PC]

I like this more than the one with black around the analog sticks

But the blue light is horrible on both variants

 

[Saber]

Colorways for this are going to be fun.

I want all those

The crimson and grey ones are clearly the winners

 

[SmokSmog]

 

[Mega_Deth]

So errr where are the rear paddles???

 

[SoloKingRobert]

Shamelessly stolen

Color combinations are going to be dope af for this controller.

Looks ugly imo, it looks like a customised Xbox One controller.

 

[Yoda]

It's aesthetically pleasing and different, bravo in that department. I'm still not a fan of the joystick placement, wish they'd cave and copy Xbox.

 

[mekes]

Battery life?
