Bound by the same embargo as everyone else so can only really talk about the Cooling Springs stage, but Astro's Playroom is absolutely phenomenal. I'm sitting here giddy over this and the DualSense controller.
Weirdly, the last time I felt like this was when Astro Bot Rescue Mission came out for PSVR, which also left me bursting to tell everyone how utterly incredible it is.

from what I see they definitely did a great job this time around providing literature and examples which is crucial to get up to speed fast this is great to hear. It definitely is a key differentiator right now.
The legit excitement I see everyone has me like reminds me when I was a kid playing a new system. I'm so excited to try all this out soon.
It's safe to say that they will expand these materials with more stuff that becomes common between games?
Can the triggers push back against you?
If I have the trigger pressed all the way down… can it try and press itself back up against me?
Do you mean providing devs with new documentation to showcase various implementation techniques that studios have used? I have no idea. That's really dependent upon studios coming back to Sony with that information. Devs are more likely to learn other studios's methods by developer talks and just inside industry chatter.
I see. Yeah, I was expecting some kind of "marketplace" for DualSense features. Think a good example is that racing games will probably have the same config for accelerate/brake. But the fact that it's easy to implement it is already very good.
Wait- does the Series X controller also have adaptive triggers?
From Polygon's impressions-
"One of the new features of this generation (also supported on the Xbox Series X controller) is the idea of "adaptive triggers." Basically, it means that the triggers can offer resistance if you're trying to perform some task that requires a lot of effort."

i wonder how immmersive some of these games weve played for years will do with the dualsense.
but at the same time maybe this will spark some new and creative ideas as well.

It's false and for whatever reason Polygon hasn't corrected it. The DualSense triggers have resistance. They can do everything from making it harder to press them to locking them completely in place. The Xbox triggers have rumble.

No, the XSX controller only has standard rumble motors in the triggers. It has no ability to modify resistance on the fly.
It happens here as well. People don't understand the different tech in the DualSense.Wait- does the Series X controller also have adaptive triggers?

Ok. I didn't think so.
Wonder why they haven't corrected it yet?
This is great to hear, sounds promising for future games implementing this.
Sounds like we've got another Astro Bot winner on our hands. I needed more of the lil' rascal after Rescue Mission.
Do you know if it will be supported for the PC versions of multiplat?
I'm pretty sure it must be the capture, Brad and Jeff both commented on how solid the framerate was during the video.

Like any game, people play at different paces, die, collect, sightsee to different degrees. There's also speed run challenges with online leaderboards, maybe trophies attached too. There should also be something to spend coins on, like the capsule toy machine in Rescue Mission VR.
I'd be surprised if they were. Most games barely use Playstation controller button prompts. I can't think of many games that use the trigger rumble on the Xbox One controller either unless they're on the Windows Store.

COVID was really bad for Sony regarding the Dualsense, it would be way easier to advertise this controller with E3 and other conferences.
Amazing impressions so far, I can't wait to put my hand on one of these.

I don't disagree. On the other hand, being generally down and a bit more cynical than usual is kind of what made me drift away from them after listening to them almost religiously over the past couple of years. You have to find that fine line between showing excitement and maintaining professional distance and that line is different for everyone. Either way, it isn't a GB thread so I don't want to get too deep into it, but I really loved the Astrobot impressions video they did. Jeff and Brad has this energy to them that I haven't felt in years. That new console hype is just infectious I suppose and it helps when the product seems genuinely amazing.
I don't think we can until we see the support it receives going forward.
So glad Sony didn't take the boring evolutionary route with the controller. I love all these small tech inclusions with every generation. Call it a gimmick all you want, but it adds sooooo much character to games that take advantage of it. Can't wait to try out 4K rumble!
The massive support it has from developers now, combined with the overwhelmingly positive first impressions is not any indication for you?
Dirt 5 has DuelSense support. I have it preordered for Series X now I'm seriously considering getting it for PS5 instead.

This legit to me is so fucking exciting finally getting another "PlayStation brand" game. PSABR had the heart but not the budget and Astrobot rescue mission didn't lean into the ps franchises. This basically now has both. Will be a great cool off game between Demon Souls impressions.

Now that Cyberpunk got delayed I'm considering getting Dirt 5 instead. Been a while since I've played a race game.
If they use that thecnology in future Vr game, this is going to be huge. Cant wait to try it too.

I think for racing games especially, DualSense support is a no brainer, because being able to offer positional and granular feedback is literally game changing.
Eg, to mimic when or which of your tires are reaching the edge of traction or slip, different driving surfaces and materials (grass, sand, mud, rain, kerbs etc), not to mention resistance in the triggers mimicking that of your brakes or accelerator pedals.
Spent a good amount of time with Astro. Not nearly as blown away as it seems others were with the triggers. In fact not really I mean much at all. It's cool I guess but didn't magically change anything. Glad to see people like it and crossing my fingers though for it to be supported which is basically I guess the sad reality behind all things.
Do you know what a fad is? Literally all I'm saying is that we can't know today if it's a fad or not. By definition of the word fad. Relax.
Pretty sure it'll always be on every ps5. It's designed to demo the controller so I wouldn't worry.
