Sony has dropped the DualShock in favour of the DualSense, a new controller for its PS5 console that's packed with next-gen features. But will they get used?
Plus, a guide on how to find the first Special Bot, Lady Maria.
Sony's pseudo-PlayStation Portal is proving itself to be pretty useful in the hands of PlayStation 5 players in more ways than one.
Astro Bot launches later this year
Day one buy ..
Too bad most devs do not take advantage of the controller’s haptics
exclusive features like those featured by the Dualsense will only be maximized by Sony's own team, sadly. And they definitely need to do it or it will become an afterthought by the end of this gen with other devs not bothered taking advantage of the unique features. that's exactly the problem with the PS Vita. not enough devs (not even Sony's) are willing to push the envelop when it comes to its features passed the launch period. games like Uncharted GA which uses the Vita to its full capabilities are almost non-existent. even the power is underutilized.
They're struggling with putting out a finished game let alone implementing exclusive features.
How are games like Horizon Forbidden West, Demon Souls, Ratchet & Clank, Spider Man, God of War Ragnarok, Returnal, Sackboy A Big Adventure and such unfinished?
They did a great job with the demo version I would guess with all this time they really push it now. Unfortunately nobody else does it. It really can make a big difference in immersion but it isn’t used beyond rumble , speaker and the touchpad as a button
Steering with the controller in GT7 is a game changer.
I've since played WipeOut and Project Cars 3 with gyro steering, and also loved it.
Wish more racing games used this feature
"Sony's brave decision to scrap over 20 years of DualShock success and effectively start again with the DualSense instantly pays off because it feels next-generation straight away. Not in a year. You experience it the instant you feel that Haptic Feedback kick in or try to squeeze those Adaptive Triggers. You know it the moment you hear sound transition across the device or issue a voice command to the user interface."
The more I hear about it, the more it sounds like the DualSense could be a defining feature between the two consoles.
You might not have a great grasp of the terms “game changer” and “gimmick” if you think something can simultaneously be both.
Obviously a game changer. This looks to be the greatest controller ever made.
Those adaptive triggers have piqued my curiosity.
