Introducing DualSense, PS5's controller (Audio Jack Confirmed)

I was actually thinking about how cool it would be in a racing game to rev your car up and feel it as much as hear it.
I'd love to see the Q and A over accessibility with the controller. It doesn't affect me but I know there are tons of gamers out there that even little changes and updates make a huge difference.
Me too. I loved DS4 but after seeing DualSense, it looks cheap to me!
Yeah this all sounds fascinating. I await some in-depth videos on this and other aspects of PS5 like how the SSD relates to game design and OS design.
Synch that up with a powerful haptics jolt and some metallic sounds from the speaker and that's some pretty great feedback.
I hope sony is taking note....
what this thread proves is that there is a massive market for a"design your own controller" type feature with the PS5. AndIamguessing people would be more than willing to pay an additional$10-$20 premium for the luxury.

I like the design but the colour scheme though....
I can't help seeing a bodybuilder wearing suspenders (the blue bit) who is standing with legs wide apart.

I fear this may end a gimmick if this is what they will push.
How are any of your examples positive for gaming in the long run. I sincerely fell a bunch of people will complain if some rumble/feeedback jams their R2 trigger.
I loved it in Forza and how you could "feel" the car but overall I bet only first party title may use it to its full extent and even then they might stop using it. Just like the touch, speakers etc.
To be honest I would rather them release a DualSense Pro/Elite controller with swappable analog sticks, D-Pad, paddles, custom button mapping profiles, etc.
Or both, I guess. There's still a lot I feel they need to do in the controller space.
The risk of these features ending up as a gimmick or under-used is imo - pretty high. After all, even something basic like the touchpad on PS4 is largely utilized poorly as oversized buttons and not even swipe functions.
But they're there - and fingers crossed there's things that the industry can congregate on as good practices and nice-to-haves.

For real, can't wait to try it out. As a fan of rumble i really want to see how much better the haptic feedback is.
ive always preferred the dual shock handles vs xbox, but its not a really big deal...
seems fine to me. its a little... shocking... they finally went in this direction, otherwise

I can't see this being used outside of first party games though. And honestly, in a third party multiplayer shooter the last thing I would want would be variable trigger resistances for all the guns I'm using in a match while my opponents can just normally pull the trigger on their controllers.
This kind of thing would be cool though in single player first party games.
If something happens to the all white, I'm going to blame you. 😡
Quick and dirty mock up of the controller I really want.
For some reason this screams "Metal Gear Solid 1 on PSX" to me. Very want.
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!
Hehe... lack of imagination my friend...
- Ammo counter. The trigger can totally lock up simulate running out of ammo in games where you have a gun and don't want an onscreen bullet counter. Imagine holding the trigger down when using an automatic weapon and it snaps back up when you are out of ammo. Haptic vibration can been simulate how much ammo you have in ur clip by how low in the controller the vibration is at.
- Lock picking. The resistance of the trigger can increase indicating you are blunt to snap your lock, then the haptic feedback would let you know which direction to align your stick to, the trigger resistance reduces again and you can continue pressing it down. the lock opens when it's fully depressed.
- Racing games. The Brake trigger wouldn't be generally stiffer than the gas pedal. That alone is worth it.
That's the idea! Haha. Would love a controller that's closer to the PS1 / PS4 Anniversary color scheme. I bought two of those for PS4 day one, and I rarely use them because I don't want them to get worn out.
Would buy four of them for PS5 (provided the global economy isn't in the shitter and I have any money at all).
Does it really matter that much? I've jumped between the PS and Xbox controllers for a decade now and it makes little to no difference and takes about 30 seconds to make the switch, if that.
i mean i prefer displaced sticks by a huge margin, but playstations stick placement is far from unusable. I think the dualsense looks great, i just hope we get a pure black or pure grey option
Its just switching the location between the dpad and the left stick. A lot of games I prefer using the dpad anyways so I end up with an "asymmetrical" layout on a symmetrical and vice versa. It all feels very arbitrary.
Careful what you wish for. 👋🥰
Looks good. Hoping they keep the face buttons without color though.
I prefer symmetrical, but my reasons are that I don't like my thumb always being "extended" if it's job is to constantly be moving around.
IE: if I press up and to the right (northeast) on the left stick, i will be fully extending my thumb and i don't like that. i want it to always be close to my hand as possible so i can have as much control over the stick as possible. the Wii U pro controller made things extra difficult because both sticks were up high. a shooter would have been frustrating.
This will all depend on the size and shape of people's hands so I'm likely in the minority, but that's okay. Sony's still sticking to their guns so I'm happy.
I"m surprised this thing doesn't have back buttons, after they released that attachment for PS4.
Do we know it doesn't? There are no views of that portion of the controller.
It's always seemed bizarre to me,, I can pick up and swap between Switch Pro, XB1, DS4, arcade stick, trackball, SNES pad - even mouse and keys, no problem. The amount of different controllers I've been through in 45+ years of gaming, adjusted easily, and still can (yes, even a Bug controller!) it just seems weird that people are stuck on where the sticks are.
It must mean for some that can't adapt, or have a huge dislike for one or the other, that the d-pads on (on their favourite, DS4 or XB) are unusable to them?
I like the controller. The colour scheme matches my PC case 👀
The battery though. I really hope they put a better battery in this one.

Some brain wrinkles solidify like cement after their hands grasp their first controller design, it is known.
As does apparently people's need to claim one design is better than the other. It's tired.
Honestly, it's trivial stuff like this that gets in the way of controller innovation. If people can't even get beyond sticks being put is slightly different positions, there's little chance more interesting things will take off.
