IGN staff say: We've had some hands-on time with the PlayStation 5's controller, the DualSense, and the pack-in demo Astro's Playroom. And we're impressed. Like, really impressed.
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
And another one

Funny though. Why is the ad at the beginning of the video a commercial for Xbox IGN? Just saying.
If Dual Sense was a new game release, it would be getting 9's and 10/10 based on hands on from those that have experienced it. This is why Sony was secretive. Not out of arrogance. They didn't want to be copied. And why is this not talked about more that Sony's giving a free game as pack in like the old days? Now that's PRO CONSUMER.
Course, with IGN, it would be 9.8 with that average pulled out of a hat. Glad they like it though. Next gen is about experiencing something new.
I have to say, cautiously optimistic as I was, I was not expecting this much praise for Dualsense. I'm pretty excited to try it out now. Hopefully serious support for its features doesn't fizzle out or become just a first party thing (as sometimes happens with new PlayStation features).
Great move by Sony putting effort into making Dualsense unique. I'm guessing once people use it, everything else will feel as though its missing something.
This is so cool
Folks should go watch old youtube videos of Playroom on PS4 from 2013. The press were initially amazed at the DS4 speaker and touch pad too. You could shake the controller and hear the cute little robots in it and vacuum them up. They were giddy about it.
