I would love this, and it would be the first time I would personally invest money int a custom controller.It would be cool if they had a design it yourself program. Why wait years for Sony to come up with a design you like.

Introducing DualSense, PS5's controller (Audio Jack Confirmed)
- Thread starter piccio_ssl

This is some next level mental gymnastics. An 8 core 1.6GHz Jaguar PC using a standard RAM pool with a standard 7850HD attached to it wouldn't perform as well as a PS4 because it doesn't have unified GDDR5 with two separate buses nor the extra ACEs. That's all that "supercharged" means. I don't even feel like addressing the rest of the post in detail because it's both wrong (writing "CPU's programming language" and "instructions used by computer programmers" subtly implies you don't really know what a programming language is and what an ISA is) and petty - the bolded is very jarring to read because it condemns a "PR maneuver" that exists solely in your head; that phrase was never used in Sony marketing - it's just in that slide, with all of the context needed to understand it.
What?.. if you really had any interest, you would of read the blog post and known this.
What about in First Person Shooters, when you press say, L2 to aim down the sites, there is more tension depending on the size of the gun. So a pistol, you press to aim down the sites there is near no tension because the weapon is lighter. However, with a huge machine gun, the tension would be much greater to aim down the sites cause the gun is much heavier.
I actually really like it. I did not really like the first pic I saw of it. It looked slightly cheap and square-ish...like not the stylish design sony are known for but then when I saw it from the angle when it's basically sitting down, I just loved it. I usually prefer the all black controller too but I prefer the two tone black and white with the blue lighting as opposed to the all black mock ups shown on here too. And from close up it looks pretty classy and forward thinking. I like it! Only thing I would have liked to have seen is the coloured playstation logo and some sort of lighting to represent the buttons as always but looks awesome as far as I am concerned! I hope the console looks amazing!
Well the great thing is that you will definitely see the controller before you can buy it, so a non-issue really. Of course nothing should be blindly pre-ordered and all I'm saying that you can rest easy, the headphone jack is included.
Not just that, but the triggers could literally give you feedback with this, so you feel the recoil of every round
I mean a pair of Joy Cons is already $99.99 CAD and a Switch Pro controller is 89.99 CAD. Its already begun.
Yup, the first thing I thought about with this is using guns in games.
Maybe using a revolver the triggers will feel different vs a SMG.
supercharged is an auto term and you can supercharge a 20 year old 1.6 liter engine with a leaf blower, nothing at all to do with 'high end' or absolute performance.
An honest reading of the statement is 'ps4 has regular pc parts with custom additions that make it perform better than a similar spec pc.' Cerney explains exactly what it means here: https://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/191007/inside_the_playstation_4_with_mark_.php
The guy is not a liar.
Or a shot gun, you would feel slight movement on the trigger when you pump and large tension on fire and recoil.
The tension in the triggers things sounds really cool but it's something I really need to try before I "get it".
I never called him a liar. You don't have to lie to paint your product in the best possible light. Hence, marketing. But thanks for that link, I'll read through it.
So pretty much all games that are racing games? Because I can't think of a whole lot of anything else where analog triggers make any sense.
I don't notice a difference either...unless I'm playing Katamari, that game feels off with asymmetrical sticks.
I've got a PS4 and XB1s and genuinely don't notice a difference in stick placement in terms of comfort when using either controller.
That's one case I think the rumble triggers would actually be better. In gears for instance the trigger start rumbling when you are running out of bullets, and you get used to reloading it right as you run out.
I like the idea of simulation a resistance of a bow for example, but since they are increasing the resistance how would it work out? In games they usually simulate this by having a time mechanic where you wait for the char to pull the string, but on this since you are already increasing the resistance I don't think it would work. The player would want to fire right away. But a simple change like that can completely throw off the balance, specially in mp games (as I imagine that for accessibility reasons the feature will be able to be turned off)
You know what, this was well-argued. I concede to your points. You at least took the time to actually attack my argument and I respect that.
I've never read this before, so thanks for the post, will ready later.
And I agree about an honest reading.
Imagine in an RE game when you're surrounded by zombies and your gun locks up. No more trigger pull until you do 'X' thing.
You can also use the example of a racing game, in which the brake trigger would be harder to pull than the throttle one.
I'm sure they have tested this feature to death, but I wonder about the durability of such a feature. Moderate finger strength would easily overwhelm the motor system providing the resistance on the triggers.
I'm kinda sad that Sony is ditching the colors in favor of Black & White. We are approaching a point where newer generations don't know that the PS logo used to be colored. Now they're hiding the PS button with the same color as the background and ditching the colored buttons. I hate minimalistic in this.
There's been some speculation already about those adaptive triggers being useful for Third and First Person Shooters. Trigger tension as useful feedback for the player regarding ammo amount and type.
You could gently ease the resistance in a signature curve as the ammo approaches empty, rather than a hard cut-off, to give the user a chance to reload. Other indicators could be helpful there too.
That said, vibrating the trigger might be a possible by-product of the trigger implementation in that patent filing linked to earlier - that is, if it's a mechanism involving a movable stopper. It talks about oscillating the stopper between two locations behind the trigger pad at a very high frequency, to basically 'tap' the back of the trigger pad and impart vibration on it.
But this is why Sony should really - and hopefully will soon - fully explain and demonstrate the triggers. We're kind of left to speculate based on how the implementation might work, and some possibilities may be more or less likely depending on certain subtleties of the implementation (e.g. whether the stopper is actually movable, lockable at a given location along the trigger's arc etc)
If the stopper behind the trigger is movable and lockable, you could use it to impart spatial information in things like sword play too. Vary the travel distance depending on the distance to the surface you are striking to give you extra spatial cues. Impart high resistance initially, then 'let go' and let the trigger slip to its furthest point when you've 'cut through' the target, etc. Or have no stop on the trigger's travel when you miss hitting anything (i.e. cut your sword through thin air, swing and miss).
There are lots of possibilities potentially, depending on the mechanism.

You could have it so that you pull back the trigger as normal but there's a progressive pull against your finger as the onscreen character draws back to simulate that tension.
Based on the wording in the blog post they're just now shipping the final design to developers so we'll have to wait a bit for that.
That's actually a really good idea. Or maybe implement some sort of 'click' when you half squeeze the trigger to simulate clicking onto an empty chamber.
Depending on the specifics of how the dynamic resistance is achieved, some games might create hard stops for hair triggers.
Also can see it being used to simulate the trigger break.

Yup. Be great for something like Sniper Elite. You pull back slowly on the trigger as the resistance gets stronger then when you fire the trigger goes loose.
Remember that touch pad almost nobody uses? We made it bigger!
Seems fine to me though. Looks like a slightly more comfortable DS4 which I already liked a lot. I just hope they fix their build quality this time around. Not 3 months into owning the newer DS4 model and both sticks started drifting. I got through one game before it all went to shit.

I'm almost positive it won't work, lol. It's literally shaped to the DS4s body, and this looks to be shaped pretty differently. Not gonna work.
Ahh was hoping to hear some more about the cool uses of the new features but the idea of syncing up the haptic responses with the audio to enhance the whole presentation is pretty cool to hear about. Well guess we'll hear a boat load once we actually see the games.
My favorite controller color. I have two of them.Can someone with the skills just create a website where we can customise every part of this controller to create our own designs. Have dark buttons, light buttons, coloured buttons etc. Give us it!!!
Edit: And for the love of god please show me this version!
