This..... is the most beautiful controller I have ever seen!
Getting major Mass Effect 3 Normany Alliance blue and white color vibes from this... LOVE IT.

As someone using their DS4 on PC, it's actually rather nice to have lol
yeah the black details will probably be present in the ventilation area
added the colored PS logo to the colored face buttons
Definitely prefer this colouring 100% over the white one, but other than that the design looks great!
I just hope the inevitable black option for console&controller is available at launch. Imo this also confirms that at least one look for the console will be white/partly white.
Yeah. People hoping they'll be able to play with a ds4 are willing to sacrifice new features for something that looks better (in their opinion) but that they won't see while playing. Smh.
Major ergonomic improvement. Seriously.
Have to dig into the rest but it looks like a major upgrade.

It really doesn't tho tbh..
I feel like the console design itself will be similar to the dev kit only this time it'll have the black and white color scheme of the controller
The design looks great.
I'd probably prefer that theoretical all black variant above (or all white) rather than the mixed colors, but that looks pretty good too.

Very cool to see that again.Not clearly visible when you just look at the whole picture of the pad, but I appreciate the little touch of transparency on the buttons as visible below
After working on editing the controller for a few images, I feel the shape of the controller is pretty good. Its just the Two tone, using black and white, makes it really hard to read. It was not the best move in my opinion to show of a new shape.
It looks modular, I did a quick mockup
Playstation Nunchucks! It won't be just because of how awkward the black part looks if you could detach it, but it would be cool if it had been designed to do that.
and another 50 plus when we get confirmation no headphone jack
did a pass on both images
Totally liking this color scheme better. The default one is not horrible but I like this one much more.
I really like the look. That white would look great in all different colors. I hope it's just as comfortable.
Thats irrelevant on a forum of enthusiasts, sorry, we could have equal amounts of gamers from all sides of the gaming, the market doesn't dictate that, in fact we had quite a few more Nintendo fans relative to Switch market share for instance early on.
Don't rely on social media metrics, it's just noise, plenty of games recieved massive attention, like Death Stranding & Dreams, but don't end up benefitting from it that much. It's just spikes of chatter, nothing concrete due to so many variables. I wouldn't use that as sign of anything meaningful apart from a fnabase being active.

I mean, I'm sure this isn't your first time on this forum lol.
Not surprising. 23.5 Million followers. I'm sure the majority got a notification when this was posted.
In the last 15 years, nearly every controller has moved towards a more uniform and easy to convey design language. Experts spend millions of dollars, consult countless sources, and throw a zillion ideas at the wall. Despite that, controller layouts usually fall on a spectrum between a PS1 and an Xbox 360 controller.
I am saying this because my taste isn't the end-all. The sheer success and relative satisfaction reported from consumers from years of iterative controller designs reinforces that they were already on a positive trajectory. So when you make decisions that further depart from something that works, people are understandably skeptical or upset. It's why an overwhelming majority of user data gathered from folks on platforms like Steam suggests people like the Microsoft style layout and Nintendo style dpads. There are things that are rigorously tried and tested.
Sony intends to buck all that apparently and just go with their own thing they are convinced will work, which wouldn't be the first time.
Oh and having an inviting aesthetic is part of good design. I would stake my life on their being plenty of folks who look at bubbly/futuristic look and immediately get turned off. That's a problem for a whole host of logistical reasons.
So why don't you get off your horse assuming I am upset just because it's ugly. I have a vested interest in hardware just like a lot of folks here, I build my own PCs and repair consoles. I spend a lot of time looking at their insides and outsides. I also spend a lot of time researching why some fail. Marketing and appearances is often an understated part of that.
This is the first time ditched the DualShock name: they didn't do it on PS3 and PS4 even when they added major features. Also this is the first console that Sony won't launch as being black by default, that is sicne the PS1 which was new to the market back then. It seems Sony is trying to market the PS5 is a big departure and a hinge product for the brand. What I don't dig is the removal of colours from the iconic buttons. Now it gonna be very confusing to tapl those buttons when displayed on screen even in QTEs because people recognized those buttons in their subconscious mind by the colours. This was a problem back then during PSP and PS Vita days.
Looks interesting. Is it USB-C? and is the d pad 4 independent buttons or is it one rocker panel behind the plastic
lets be honest. this will be a Limited Edition waiting to happen 2 years into the life cycle.added the colored PS logo to the colored face buttons
This is patently false. Where your thumbs need to be is dictated by the games, so there is no standard "naturally falls" placement to rely on. Furthermore, the D-pad and analog stick are both easy, comfortable and accurate in their positions using the dualshock layout, whereas the Xbox layout has always resulted in a D-pad that is awkward to use and prone to erroneous input.
Oh, the green and white is badass. Thanks for these.Few more colour combos
White bottom layer:
Insane. Even with this new marketing strategy they're getting 2 million likes quickly in a random IG controller link lmao.
This thing is gonna be amazing lol.
