Going to take a guess that there are going to be multiple color options for the PS5 available to pre-order day one.

 

[SonGoku]

The only disappointment is lack of Vita dpad
Wish the face was all white too

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Controller looks pretty rad. My only gripe is that the face buttons are no longer colored.

 

[FeiRR]

Okay, so it is going to be a revolution. No prisoners, no compromises. They're going full in.

 

[ZywyPL]

Do you rly think the XSX can hold it's CPU and GPU load at the same time? No, it won't.

So you imply PS4 and XB1 also didn't held their clocks? I mean, why would they, under heavy load? No way! Especially Pro that screams like a starting Jumbo Jet, maybe it downclocks itself to just 2.5TF, hence can't reach anything more than 1440-1620p? Makes sense!... Jesus Christ, I see XSX coming out stronger is a really tough pill to swallow for some.

New control looks pretty sweet.

This looks like a mix of XB controller shape with DS symmetrical analog sticks, a.k.a. the best possible scenario. Fricking fantastic, hype intensifies!

I just heard from a journalist who writes for Windows Central that the controller is so heavy that after a prolonged session, play-testers are having trouble moving their fingers. Also, that light bar you see? It's dissipating a lot of heat and the controller can get really hot. Also, battery is worse than DS4. Sony are so worried about this that they are undergoing a significant revision of the controller. Watch this space.

Best post of the thread....You beat the discord gang to it lol

You should write it in a colbert poem,,,,/s

LMAO.

 

[Grodiak]

Looks cool!

Do I remember incorrectly or were there rumors at some point of extra triggers in the back?

 

[phil_t98]

Looks like an Xbox controller from the side

 

[icy121]

How big is it?

Word out of Windows Central is that its so big its currently undergoing extreme testing to get it down to the size of the NES controller so consumers wont develop calluses on their hands.

 

[thurnishaleygw]

Love the new controller. And I am very happy to see that they're definitely not afraid of trying new things and move the brand forward.

 

[saintjules]

 

[Imtjnotu]

Lol wut!

 

[Metroiddarks]

Lol wut!

For many years I don't even know the MLB was from Sony only (I know now they will publish in another consoles) and I
buy like 12 to 20 games per year, this is how few I care that kind of games.

 

[Three Jackdaws]

Good Lord. It's only the controller and it's hit 100K likes, talk about hype.

 

[bellome]

Back buttons confirmed or not?

 

[Zoro7]

I quite like the look of that. Come on Sony feed us more information!!

 

[Three Jackdaws]

I would have liked the button symbols to be coloured but it still looks great.

 

[saintjules]

The power of social media, heh.

 

[saintjules]

Funny how they didn't show the back. Interesting indeed.

 

[Three Jackdaws]

The power of social media, heh.

the power of brand and identity.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Lol wut!

Horrible color combination. Why not all white or black? Or gunmetal? Also are those buttons even MORE flush than the DS4?

 

[Rusco Da Vino]

Interesting quote.

Loading time under 1 second?

Our goal with DualSense is to give gamers the feeling of being transported into the game world as soon as they open the box.

Is that controller real? Its so ugly and doesnt look comfy neither.

Most people HATE the design/color scheme, look at REE!!!

The thirst for PS5 is unbelievable.

No. They're clear, so they look that way. If you check out the higher quality images on the blog, you can see that they are definitely raised.

Not trying to bash Xbox btw lol

Posted just before 'Inside Xbox'. That level of savage I tell ya.

So it is trying to be a PS Vita?

You know the Vita?


No?

 

[psorcerer]

Can you elaborate on that? You mean bandwidth wise or cores utilization
Theres plenty that can be done to tax those cores

To utilize CPU cores not a lot of bandwidth is needed.
If data doesn't fit into cache CPU becomes ineffective. In fact it becomes a very narrow and slow GPU.

 

[VanSiriusGabriel]

Oh.
Oh hi sweetie.

I would expect CPU usage in next gen games to be vastly different to current gen games. Once the baseline is a 16 thread CPU with solid IPC and clocks, developers will find ways to keep it busy: Smarter AI, more complex physics simulations, better animation systems or even advanced audio effects.

That's just words. Need numbers.

CPUs are not only used for “bad coding”, they are used for branchy coding where parallelisation is not effective. CPU code can be as optimized as GPU code; else there would not be any need for SIMD/AVX in the first place.

There is no need for SSE/AVX, it was a temp solution till GPUs got fully programmable compute.
If you have a very branchy code - it's a "bad code" automatically. It will not run fast neither on CPU nor on GPU.

 

[Trueblakjedi]

Locking GPU in 10GB looks like a bad idea to me. You will need to copy memory from CPU to GPU all the time then. Loading from SSD? Let's now waste more bandwidth and latency to copy it over.

The GPU can always make normal resource requests through the CPU. It just has direct to SSD access (like a framebuffer) as as well as direct to 10GB VRAM access.over the 320bit bus. I myself wish it was wide across all 16GB of data but MS said that the memory timings were off so this was the best solution.

 

[jonnyp]

Love the new controller, looks a lot more comfortable

I'm not sure GPU can make any resource requests in DX12U. AFAIR, CPU feeds command buffer tokens to GPU and binds all the resources.
It probably means that loading a new texture mip would do: SSD->RAM->CPU->RAM->GPU. I.e. say goodbye to any GPU-originated work creation...

Oh, I think I understand the problem.
XBSX doesn't have a coherency support for GPU.
They cannot load data in place while GPU caches are full.
I think it will impact multiplatfrom games a lot.
Same situation as today: PS4 has coherency support but nobody uses it because XOne doesn't...
Say goodbye to loading things mid-frame...

P.S. you know what. That's what happens on PC. You cannot avoid CPU round trip.
Eases support of DX12U games for PC for MSFT...

 

[Turk1993]

I like it and it looks really comfortable, and did they just confirm a white console . PLZ Sony i need my white console

Looks really good, much better than the DS4. DS4 looked really cheap, this looks like something thats durable. For me they nailed the controller, now show me the console itself.

The way I read it was that the GPU has two operational request flows. The first one is as you wrote and the second was SSD-> GPU cache bypassing both the CPU and PCIE bus. ALL game data including primitives. textures etc can be stored in the SSD virtual memory pool and accessed at wil by the GPU. I dont have enough insight as to whether the GPU copies to VRAM from that pool or directly into its caches.

Im sure a future architectural reveal will go into this. Gamer Nexus has a break down of the process as seen on the radeon pro SSG implementation but whether that implementation looks like the one employed in the XVA is unknown still. They sound very similar however.

 

[Lng0004]

Oh hey.

 

[Fake]

Oh hey.

Actually match more with Astrobot.

 

[David Ricardo]

Much, much better.

 

[farmerboy]

Back buttons confirmed or not?

Good question. Will be surprised if no, because the rear trigger attachment they just released for DS4 kinda intimates that the new pad would have it.

 

[psorcerer]

Only on PS5 AFAIK?

Seems unrealistic to me. They announce DX12U, SFS and direct Storage for PC, and you cannot do it on PC, at all.
If XSX uses exacltly the same DX12U API as PC (we don't know yet) GPU cannot issue any work at all. Entire pipeline is managed by CPU only.

“Instead of finishing the PlayStation 4 version first, the developer is prioritizing the PlayStation 5 version right now. The PlayStation 4 version will ported from the final PlayStation 5 version. Hence, whenever the game launches, it will be next-generation ready — a goal that TeamKill Media is taking really seriously.”

Is this also an official controller? Because that looks a million times better than the white one
