Dave Lee: What makes the PS5 so special?
- Thread starter Thiago
- Start date
Looking forward to trying it out but so far from everything I'm seeing, I hope there's a way to retain the vibration aspect of the controller and turn off the trigger thing. I have a strong inclination that I'm going to really dislike using it overall. Will figure that out I guess as more PS5 games use it.
It's crazy how much crazy shit is happening in the controller while you play. The amount of internal sound is really impressive. They went above and beyond with this controller.
Its not really a problem, in astrobot the sounds come through the headphones. Vs the controller speaker its just that the speaker just adds a little extra.
Death Stranding needs a PS5 DualSense update so badā¦ feels like it was made for it.
It's definitely been the single most underrated feature of next gen. Everyone's been hyping up the SSDs (rightfully so) and comparing tflops (wrongfully so), but the DualSense will be the single biggest differentiator, aside from games of course, that sets PS5 apart from Xbox.
For every single multiplat game that takes advantage of the haptics and adaptive triggers, the media is going to be gushing about how cool these features are and how much they enhance the gameplay experience of CoD or Madden or NBA or what have you, and Sony will be able to use that to sell the PS5 versions of those games as the "true nextgen" versions.
Omg.....
Because of loading I've stopped playing. Just waiting for the PS5 to get here. I hope they do this. Falling with BB...
I might not want that.
Yeah they would have loved to let people get a hands on at various shows, best buys, eb games etc.. Shame. On the bright side once it releases their customers will do all the marketing it looks like lol.
Imagine if Playstation put the haptic technology into the PSVR2. Next level immersion. Get shot or attacked and feel it in your head.
Trigger and Haptic
Controller is actually deserving of a proper name change, calling it DualShock 5 would have been doing it major disservice.
The detailed sound generated by the controller's haptic motors is really odd. But also neat somehow lol. That was an insightful video.
Yeah that's smart, getting something that's constantly pounding at your friggin' head.
OK, that definitely helps if when you shut off the controller speaker, it pipes the audio through the headphones.
I guess some of that is neat, but none of that seems all that cool to me personally. The adaptive triggers seem like they could be useful, but I can also see implementation of that being more annoying than anything depending on how it's done. Might change my mind once I play it myself, but guess I'm old fashioned in the end. I just like a normal controller and playing a game. I could even lose regular rumble and be fine lol
Absolutely, and it wouldn't surprise me if Kojima Productions was one of the first studios to get a dev kit.
This was the one bad thing about the video.
He said this and also that developers wouldn't support it much outside first-party, but we've seen and heard the opposite.
Maybe lower the intensity but a good jerk motion, plus 3D audio tech would be next level.
'only'?
I think he mentioned both working great individually
How he could dodge arrows with just the audio and how he could react to attacks or environment with just haptic feedback
User warned: Platform warring
Well of course it's the most important feature now since they don't have the power advantage anymore.
I doubt 3rd party developers will invest too much into it but very excited for what the first party studios have in store.
You'd have a point if this was coming from Sony but it's not. Just one man's opinion.
That's his opinion though.
DualSense is a USP in ways that a marginally better GPU isn't.
Why you act like that guy is getting paid by Sony to say that? And I agree with him, the controller is something you feel more than a difference in teraflops.
I'm not talking about the marketing, I'm saying that the DualSense is literally the most important feature that sets apart the PS5 right now and makes it a possible better deal than the equally priced Xbox even though the latter may have better specs.
From what we've heard, the implementation is a definitely straightforward especially for the haptic feedback but like with everything else it's only useful if devs use it.
you can check out most of the details in the OT Dualsense OT
Well I must have misinterpreted your post because I took it as a criticism rather than how you're presenting it here.
Controllers are a tangible thing, and that experience involves every second of the gaming experience. The same cannot be said for pixel counting and stuff like that; which, while important talking points, are a bit harder to sell to your average consumer.
Regarding your general observation, I think the hype train was been chugging for months. It's been--by far--the most discussed gaming thing since whenever we first saw the box.
That controller is what I've wanted haptics in games to be for a long time.
Dave makes great videos, btw. They're always short and to the point like this.

The most important feature is the games. DualSense will just enable a better and immersive gaming experience.
