Btw chances are increasing that Sony will randomly drop a video with the teardown of the PS5 showing the console design and what's inside. LOL.
Seems like their marketing is basically focused around socials like twitter and instagram plus their blog and youtube.
The days of dedicated events where everything needs ten minutes of PR introduction seem to belong to the stone age.

As many said on the forum - it resembles Astrobot color scheme which is ironic, since it breaks the compatibility with PSVR (no lightbar).

So I'm assuming that there are no colours on the action buttons (or whatever you call the buttons on the right side) because they have individual LEDs that light up when they receive feedback from the console, right? Like if a game says "press X" then the "X" button lights up? Because plain buttons are both more difficult for newcomers to learn and not as attractive to look at.

The only thing both those controllers have in common is that they are both...controllers.
A lot of dislike for the controller in this forum...
I'm excited to see what the technical specs do for games.
Apparently, the poll shows that's not really the case.

Please do not have that sticker on the back that peels off after a few years and gets sticky stuff everywhere.

Funny how every armchair marketing expert criticises Sony's marketing approach for PS5, but we all lose our shit over every little (or big) reveal.

Personally I love the design. It looks comfortable to hold, and the new features sound interesting.

So wait up there's also no paddles to configure? Why did they release that PS4 adapter?

I'm still team V design like the dev kit. Controller looks too concept for them not to go hard on a unique looking design.

Wow, this looks awesome!

Love how different this looks from previous DualShock controllers. The white and black looks really snazzy, and the way it's designed creates a great template for custom colors.

Can't wait to get my hands on one. If I don't end up getting a PS5 this year this could always be my other PC controller.

I like the look a lot.

But microphone on the controller sounds like a bad idea for multiplayer games.

I wouldn't worry about the color scheme. As with every generation, there will be a million different color schemes to choose from.

Do we know if there's no back buttons? I haven't seen a photo of the back of the controller

I like it. They should just sell it now and make it compatible with the PS4, that way the controllers will be out there and stress-tested prior to the PS5 release.

Yep. Greatest idea ever.

Woah at this point Sony will show the console in a blog post on a random day.
