Psvr owners have to use DS4 most probably as DS5 will have sensors for PSVR2 so no need for light

Seems like patents for the DualShock 5 went up today in Japan

They're still quite different. At least as far as video game controllers go anyway.
They already confirmed in the last wired article the battery is bigger
Soo..will the DS4 be compatible with the PS5 then?
And not surprising if the vanilla DS5 doesn't have triggers.

Not much of a surprise if they want to add BC. Thankfully it's their. Would be nice if more Devs used it outside of just a big ass select button though lol.
Would need some kind of tracking markers, just sensors would a huge step back in terms of positional tracking.
Option button is just a start button, what is exactly wrong with it?
You won't miss it because it will be on the DS5 too. I like a lot even as only a map/inventory button.
The latest leaks suggested cameras are built in for tracking for psvr 2 purpose . We r not sure till they confirm ofcourse
Third party devs I'm not surprised due to just keeping things the same between consoles and ease of porting.
First party, though? They needed to push that shit. Shadow Fall utilized it great.
Didn't it get proven that the light bar didn't impact the battery life to a significant degree anyways?
Seems so and it will again only be used in a touchpad way for a fraction of the games.
User Warned: Console wars
Well they can't bundle an Xbox One controller with it, can they?
I F'ed up a R2 button the other day playing FIFA, because that game can make you a little mad.
Anyway, only having one proper working controller right now I'm switching my Kontrol Freeks everytime I change from FIFA to a FPS. I haven't used the regular sticks on the DS4 from launch basically, and for the life of me I can't imagine how anyone can play on those things "naked". They suck big time.

Indeed, but at worst it's functionally identical to a select button while it improves the games that use it. Gravity Rush 2 for example
I like that it looks meatier in the hands. Maybe we'll get custom controllers like what colors Xbox offers with their custom labs site.
I appreciate the touchpad for the fact that it's two different buttons. Keep it for BC sake also.
The sticks are not smaller
Red is new patent, black is DS4
I am not sure where people saw that they're smaller.
I was really hoping for paddles to become standard in next gen pads.
There hasn't been any leak / patent for the Xbox side yet right? We won't know for sure till the reveals I guess but here's hoping.
At the very least this one looks more ergonomic and better for fitting in the hand. DS4 never quite felt comfortable to hold for me.

No way, it's perfect to capture screenshots with just one press.
"just" a start button? Most games depend heavily on it, and it's this tiny hidden thing. It needs to be more prominent and intuitive.
Wat. It's one of the better things about the controller. Makes taking screenshots instantaneous and easy.
Damn. I welcome the bigger triggers and thiccer grip. But smaller sticks :( I also actually liked the lightbar. It was fun. Trackpad was dumb, but I guess it's stuck for backwards compatibility, so it's a good thing
It charges at the bottom? That will be pretty annoying if so. Especially if the Battery life is bad again.
Happy the touchpad is back, feels weird not having a big "Start" button for me now. Hopefully devs/Sony actually use it better too, because it's great when on PC.

I still love the trackpad as the obligatory pull up the map button so I'm glad it's still there. Plus it's most likely still there because of BC.
Edit: Wonder if this means forward compatibility with DS4 and PS5, like how Xbox is doing it with the Xbox One controllers being compatible with Scarlett.

No, it charges at the point where the lightbar previously was.
Yeah. The symmetrical sticks will be there even in 2072, but thank god they removed the lightbar.
It didn't work that well on the Wii U

It's getting a bit chunkier. I like it. The DS4 lacks some heft and of course battery life.
That is my main concern for the new pad: Will the battery life be good again?
