Yeap DS5 design looks really off for a Sony product. Too gamery.
Which means PS5 design will be loud and multi toned? wonder if it will have RGB?
DS5 like a mix of boomerang but gamery.
I really wish I could get the chance to hold one of these... like a real pre production version of the boomerang.
did they ever demonstrate a working one of these? because to me they always looked like mockups with no internals

That would actually be pretty cool.

I guess the research work done and a need for new tool chains to manufacture, will eat up more bom.
Im not sure if Sony can sell the standalone DS5 any more expensive than DS4.
No, im glad Sony tries something new. Just a little concern in terms of raw PS5 power being eaten up by accessories. As it seemingly becoming, the fight of raw performance is the toughest we know of yet.

Guess that last-gen share button didn't illicit the same kind of excitement amongst their fanbase.

Yeap they posted few minutes after PlayStation tweet shared the new Dual Sense 5.
A reaction to that tweet I guess...

gyro hurts the most. I was hoping gyro aiming will finally become a standard feature this gen... even on PS4 almost no game supports it, even games that do support it on Switch don't get the feature on PS4.
if all controllers had gyros it would definitely help making it more commonly used

I didn't see that you quoted someone at first since I have ethomaz blocked. so I thought you called the design "so lame of them" which kinda threw me off lol

Exactly. Xbox channelled all that into the console specs itself.
Depending on how you look at things.
Imo since consoles specs are once a generation, and controllers are just the workhorse, i would prefer console specs approach

Takes 10 minutes to swap the battery with a much longer lasting one for $8-$12. If the rare case it does crap out.

Not fans of white color, it will get dirty sometimes. Looking good though, I love it. Can't wait for the console reveal.

OK, so It's good to see them side by side. See who wins
the DualSense looks super spacey and scifi, which I absolutely love... that design is fucking gorgeous.
the SX controller looks more luxurious/distinguished and clean, which I also love but it is a bit boring.
let's see how their ergonomics are, the new thicker handles look promising on the dualsense but the face buttons are a bit too spaced out IMO

I do have to say though that I find it fascinating (not in a bad way) at how at the very beginning of the PS3, Sony got rid of their rumble for controllers (until they completely shifted that stance) to now w/ the PS5 they're going all in at launch.

I like it but I hope the option button and the 'create' button are prouder than they look.

they didn't "shift their stance" that whole thing about it being a last gen feature was pure PR garbage.
they had an issue with patents, so they literally couldn't use their rumble features anymore until that was settled with the patent holders.
at that time they also released a batch of rumble less PS2 controllers (SCPH-10520) that weren't called DualShock 2 (I think they just called them PS2 Analog Controllers or something) for the same reason

Ha, seeing that the new PS controller is bigger, it looks like they have a much bigger battery in this one, they would need to anyway...…..The audio jack, the speaker and the share button were the biggest innovations in a controller this gen......The trackpad is back, and I'm ecstatic about that tbh, it was awesome in Killzone Shadowfall and a few other games, just underutilized, hopefully it gets more use this gen, maybe even for the video editing from the create button....web browsing etc, it was definitely great for maps in games, that's for sure......I guess we will see how it evolves next gen...…..Cant wait to put GT7 through it's paces with the dualsense or even playing fighters and getting feedback for every punch and kick.....
Also I think a mic is a nice evolution, quality should be good enough, the great thing is that it will be standard, everybody can chat if they want or even use voice to launch games etc...Many people forgot that the PS4 had voice activation...…..Cerny was not playing when he said he wants a high quality standard available to everybody......Everybody will have a mic, a speaker through their controller and high end haptics that changes how you play games, just by having this controller....I imagine all games will be designed with these standard features in mind......Standard features across the board.....Cerny has raised the bar for console design, for controller design and for sound design, as everybody with basic speakers can enjoy a nice simulated virtual surround or get some awesome audio through their headsets......I have 5 headsets including a 7.1 piece, so I can't wait, remaster Resistance Trilogy please for that great audio, but I can't wait to see what Sony brings with the Gold Headsets for next gen, since they are going all out on sound this gen, or right about every aspect really...

Interesting. All the buttons are in the exact same place to keep it familiar. I like that. I’m so accustomed to the PS4 controller. The more I see, the more I really like this controller. Feels fimiliar but looks distinct enough to herald in a new gen. Plus it looks like something out of portal. Finally! A win for Sony when they need it most.Somebody on ERA made it and really gives perspective... I though it was really similar to DS4.

I stand corrected. I was remembering the PR spiel from that time.

Gotta say that's a sexy design, excited for the haptic feedback info, just hope it's used more often than "HD rumble" has been for the switch, seems Sony wants to change the way games FEEL
With this, Tempest 3D audio and focusing on expanding visuals, killing loadtimes and VR it sounds like Sony is really trying to tackle the senses in a console.
Pretty exciting

yeah they just tried to spin it in a way that made it look like a deliberate design decision. I mean, they couldn't just go on stage and say, "yo we can't have rumble this time cuz we don't have the license to have it lol, kay bye!"

I have mixed feelings towards the new controller. On one hand, it's a BIG improvement in ergonomics over DS4 and those big analog triggers are greatly appreciated. On the other hand, It would've been nice if they changed the left analog stick to make them asymetrical, since that would be the ergonomically appropriate placement if the main focus of the console are 3D games. The d-pad on the position it has is better suited for 2D or fighting games.
Also.. WTF, Sony? Removing colors from the buttons? I know it gives a slick look, BUT it's a bit disorienting on kids entering the platform trying to match the shape they see on screen with the one on their controller.

Aside from white as a default, and going to the more hard acrylic buttons the only other fault I can really find with the controller is the integrated microphone. If that is enabled by default it is going to make multiplayer interactions a nightmare. Kids on the mic in every instance, people not realizing it's turned on, people not even knowing it's in the controller just making a bunch of noise in the background.
It's a novel idea but in practice I can see this running amok.

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 than a 50AE.

#MSmetoo strikes strikes... again.
9.03pm vs 9.04pm...….This is as "follow the leader" as if I ever seen it......
I think the varied DS5 designs, color mixes etc.. will be great.....I think they will eventually bring all black, white, blue controllers as well...No mix....

They really do, but i like this more beacuse this time the dpad has the space to actually be separated.
i hope they do the clickity thing the vita ones do.

It's very "follow the leader"
Console sales might follow along this trajectory for the first few months as well after launch. Then Sony will pull away with more/better games. Maybe
I think I'd like solid colours as well. I don't see why it's two-tone except to make it look visually smaller than it is.
