(VGC) Microsoft is asking Xbox owners if they would like PS5 DualSense features on Series X/S controllers

[Diarrhea Day-Lewis]

I can get not launching with adaptive triggers but not having gyro is strange. All that R&D was spent to ignore a much like feature in multiple other controllers for half a decade?

still good to see them being open to it. Hopefully it comes out this year

I do have concerns about raising the price of each controller. Switch and PS5 controllers are way too pricey.

Dualsense barely costs more than an Xbox controller though.

 

[DarthWalden]

Yes please.

I don't know if I'd run out and buy a bunch of new controllers but the force feedback in the triggers are a genuine innovation and the option to have that would be great.

Plus it would mean higher adoption all around.

 

[Beef Supreme]

Gyro would be nice, but the haptics are already a gimmick to me.

 

[Neoxon]

Seriously though, the other two already have a gyroscope & either embraced or are starting to embrace gyro aiming. Microsoft finally adding a gyroscope to their controller would be the last major hurdle cleared to have gyro aiming become more common in shooters. And since the XSX|S is now the king of shooters, this would only cement their dominance in the genre.

 

[Vic Damone Jr.]

That would be cool. I own PS5 but if Xbox had the same features it would help make sure third parties would put more effort into those features.

Short answer: nah

 

[tapedeck]

look what you did now all the gyro fanboys are going to wake up from sleeping upside down and swoop out their caves to screech at everyone lol

lol and it happened right on schedule.

 

[jorgejjvr]

I would love that

 

[Fisty]

Do you remember when the PS3 launched without rumble? And it came later? It didn't stop it from becoming the standard.

Click to shrink...

That was just basic ass rumble though, it was almost exactly the same as the PS2. Adding Dualsense features to an XSX controller would be like the DualShock on PS1

 

[Vex]

It'd be the definitive PC controller if all of these features are rolled into the Xinput API

Click to shrink...

My exact thought

Fucking press-able touchpad too pls. I need it for extra keybinds.

 

[AceAlli]

I'm also genuinely surprised at how many people seem to dislike the adaptive triggers. Those might be my favorite DualSense feature so far. Different stokes, I suppose.

 

[.exe]

Its too late. If it doesnt come in the box with the console, it won't see wide support.

Click to shrink...

If multiplat games do it already anyway because of PS5 and first-party will do it because they're first-party, I don't see how it's too late.

 

[Letters]

Big hell yes to the xbox series controller getting the advanced rumble the ps5 has. The rest of the features I don't care about but I'll take them as long as they don't mess anything up.

 

[mentallyinept]

That would be great, but isn't it too late?

The system has already launched and the base config doesn't have these features.

Nobody wants gyro outside of era, it's time people stop asking for it.

 

[Deleted member 10629]

They'll probably add it to the Elite 3

 

[big_z]

Swapping out the rumble motors with what Sony is using would be cool. Adaptive triggers only if they can add the feature without changing the feel if the feature is off. Everything else I don't care. DualSense is kind of a bad controller outside of the haptics.

 

[Damn Silly]

I mean, if they can do it without sacrificing the feel of it at the moment, then sure.

The tech in the DualSense is impressive but I definitely prefer just holding then XSX controller.

 

[Pancracio17]

Yeah, id want them. Gyro too.

 

[HardRojo]

Gyro is the one feature I'm surprised it doesn't have. I actually wasn't aware of that until a few months ago.

 

[christocolus]

lol. I knew we would get Xbox controller revisions with those features added soon enough. They even had a patent for some of those features as far back as 2018.. I said this before once they see how devs make use of these features they would have to reconsider, also having all the talented developers under the XGS umbrella taking advantage of some of those features would be really nice. Hopefully new revision comes out just in time for Halo and Forza Horizon next. would also be perfect for Psychonauts, Starfield and Perfect Dark and probably Flight Sim too.
They should also find out what their devs think about it.

I totally understand that we're in an echo chamber so yeah, we do inflate what we think the public wants.

but the PS4 controller, Wii U controller, Steam controller, Switch Joycons, Switch Pro Controller and PS5 controller all had some form of gyro controls since 2012. It just seems standard imo. If no one wanted it, why would so many different companies keep putting it in?

 

[Deleted member 45130]

Yes, there is no other answer. I also want Gyro, even though I've only used it on handheld Switch games and didn't like it, I appreciate that it's something to get used to and can see it being very useful in all FPS games.

 

[GaussianMultivariate]

Can't think who'd say no to extra choices?

Click to shrink...

Maybe people scared that they could fuck up the current design when adding the new stuff?

 

[jesterkap2]

You're not wrong and it's a good point that it's technically only 10 dollars more. I guess I am referencing the sale price I got of around 40 dollars.

 

[neptunez]

could they actually implement these into each console (X|S) before the user base gets too large?

 

[Arthands]

I hope they add gyro to it

[Ocarina_117]

Gyro aiming, please.

Playing Immortals, I find myself trying to aim with the controller due to BoTW muscle memory.

 

[inpHilltr8r]

gyro and voice coil haptics should be the baseline now

 

[xem]

if cost isnt increased that significantly then sure. even if you dont like them you can disable.

 

[jon bones]

haptics need to be the new standard for rumble

 

[ghostcrew]

They did several revisions of the Xbox One controller (totally changed the bumpers, changed it to Bluetooth instead of propitiatory WiFi, etc) so they totally could. We'll definitely see revisions of the controller through the life of the Series X/S.

However, as I said earlier, they do these surveys about other platforms all of the time. They asked us about joycon and microSD support on the Switch three years ago when it came out and we're yet to see those hit Xbox.

 

[Litigator]

I like this. I wish the console makers asked their audience for feedback and what they want more often. I don't care whether they add haptics to the Xbox controller but I like that they're bothering to ask.

 

[Soj]

No thanks, I'd just disable it all anyway.

 

[Zem]

Not if it compromises the life of the controller or price, or battery life. I'd be fine with gyro as I'd imagine that would be minimal or non-existent for all three.

 

[chickenandrofls]

Haptics - yes
Adaptive triggers - no

Don't care about Gyro (find it to be rather annoying tbh)

But pretty much agree with others who said they don't see this happening. Xbox has sent out these kind of surveys before.

 

[IHaveIce]

This, as long as they are optional this should be a yes from all sides.

Gyro aiming helps a lot of people to play shooters and stuff it should be possible on xbox

 

[Coolluck]

I don't like gyro aiming. My hands must not be very steady because it feels way worse than just using the sticks. Give me the actual exciting DualSense features though. I already paid too much for an Elite. Keep the paddles though.

 

[TheDarkKnight]

Yes please!

 

[PapaJustify]

I have deactivated the adaptive triggers after I found them to be abused by FIFA21.

 

[kubus]

Only if it comes with Master Chief's Playroom

 

[Yerffej]

Not sure I need any of it. Just give me the paddles from the Elite if you insist on making anything else standard.

 

[Dark Mantonio]

I don't envision MS messing with the base controllers too much, but maybe the next version of the Elite.

But it's the cheapest thing to include of all of them & you can just as easily turn it off. More options are never a bad thing.

 

[CalamityPixel]

Gyro would be cool. It does feel like MS played it safe for the controller this time around.

Company with unlimited money can do whatever they want.

lol I feel bad for only enjoying the adaptive triggers in astrobot 😔.
