Check Out the PS5's New Console Covers and DualSense Colors

Zoom zoom zoom, make my heart go boom boom, my Super Nova Pink DualSense.

Neonridr878d ago

The purple looks pretty sick.

NapalmSanctuary877d ago

Yeah, I like purple. Even have a guitar with a custom purpleburst finish. Extremerate has better options for controller shells though. You can get 100% transparent purple shell, plus about 50 other transparent color options. You just have to be able to break a ps5 controller down and rebuild build it with the new shell. takes about 10 mins. BTW longtime no see neonridr. hope you're doing well.

Neonridr877d ago

surviving as best as can be with all this, lol. At least I've been able to catch up on my backlog of games due to the delays. XD

CorndogBurglar877d ago

I just got my Scarlet Red controller faceplate from Extremerate yesterday. It looks gorgeous. It's actually got a slight metallic finish to it. Nice dark red. I'll be getting the buttons now. But I like the white shell with the red faceplate and buttons. It looks awesome!

I'll probably get a black controller and do the same thing to it, but maybe with midnight blue plate and buttons.

purple101878d ago

Looks like they going after female market segment to me.

I suppose Nintendo witch is targeting at the younger gamer so targeting the 15-18 range is smart?

Eonjay878d ago

I'm not a female and I like the new colors. Your username is purple101. Should I just persume you are a girl? No I shouldn't because I'm not a ass.

Garethvk878d ago

We posted this a week ago with our CES coverage.

Garethvk877d ago

Well considering ours was the hottest post of the day and this is old news on a site that does not allow it they should care.

siLENTEsKI877d ago

@Garethvk you and the others in your “we” must be very proud

Galactic purple looks blue, cosmic red looks pink... Not a fan of the naming for these controllers.

Phoenix76878d ago (Edited 878d ago )

do you suffer from colour blindness?
Asking because Cosmic Red (which came few months ago) actually looks deep blood red.
Super Nova pink (see pic above) looks pink.
And I don't see how Galactic Purple is blue, when you can see the colour difference (again see pictures above).
Something I'd like to know is how much will the plates cost?

EmperorDalek877d ago (Edited 877d ago )

No, I've shown a few other people these pictures today now that you brought it up, everyone said it looks dark blue. The colour difference is irrelevant, the actual blue one is bright blue. Maybe it could be the lighting, but that promotional space picture makes it look more vividly purple.

I own the cosmic red one. That's more debatable, but again everyone I've shown has said it looks like a dark pink. Compared to other red controllers, it certainly sticks out.

I saw EBgames have them on their website for $99 NZD, so about the price new release if that holds.

EDIT - Okay it is indeed just the IGN pictures, it does indeed look purple in the GameSpot ones.

Sephiroushin878d ago

Check your eyes (and i am not trolling), you may have color blindness else your screen bad or something; because the purple looks dark purple, the pink looks pink and the red do look dark blood red

EmperorDalek877d ago

I'm not colourblind, I've shown a few different people these pictures in person and they all said it looks dark blue. I've played around with the settings on my phone, didn't make a difference.

The red does not look blood red lol. It looks nice don't get me wrong, but I own it and it looks dark pink, and again other people agreed with this. I saw a Reddit post where people came to the same conclusion too.

thorstein877d ago

I wonder if you also have trouble seeing indigo. Many people do. Or maybe your monitor colors need an upgrade. Those look like the colors described, my guy.

EmperorDalek877d ago

I've replied to the guys above, same answer here... But my phone is fairly recent, I don't think it's a screen issue.

Nacho_Z877d ago

There's no Cosmic Red it's Nova Pink. Galactic Purple is somewhere in between blue and purple so I see what you mean there.

Sony started 2022 with a bang!

New colours, PSVR2 and Horizon VR, God of War and we are seeing new steps toward the new subscription service and emulation.

It's hard not to get excited for Playstation.

Xbox Exclusives on PS5 - Has Xbox Studios Taken Advantage of the PS5 DualSense Features?

Here's an in-depth look at whether Microsoft took advantage of the PS5 DualSense controller's features with the Xbox games on PS5.

franwex12d ago

This guy wrote a whole dissertation.

VenomUK12d ago

I’m going bed now so have only previewed this article but credit to James Lara at MP1st.com for such a unique and in depth investigation! From comparing the audio captured from the controllers’ vibrations to determining the in-game source of vibration and its effect in Hi-Fi Rush, this seems like a scientific approach has been taken. Wow. Man must really cares about the topic, I gotta respect that passion. 🫡

anast12d ago

I thought you were joking, then I clicked to read it.

anast12d ago

Xbox on PSN took a minute to get used to.

Phoenix02912d ago

Sega on Nintendo was mind blowing

gold_drake12d ago

i love how this is so indepth only to say "well yes, but mostly no"

haha xD good article tho

I have the Cobalt Blue controller and it lasts twice as long as my launch white controller did out of the box already.

Profchaos148d ago

Yeah I got the black controller and it's been way better than my launch ones also. I had to return my launch one cause of stick drift and the replacement had the springs snap in the L2 trigger then that replacement got drift again then I finally tried the black controller it's been flawless so happy with it

dumahim147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

My original didn't last a year before stick drift took over. (edit: actually, don't think it made it 6 months since I first experienced the drift in AC which I started playing around January after the PS5 launch). I bought the black one as soon as it came out. Now it doesn't last a day's worth of gaming.

FPSRUSSIA150d ago

never had a problem with the battery life or stick drift good to know that they improved it.

isarai150d ago

This is the 1st controller I've had stick issues with unfortunately, took it apart and cleaned it even though it already looked clean, but the drift came back after couple days. Kinda bummed about it honestly cause I take good care of my stuff

EvertonFC148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Same fella, never had a problem with previous gens but this one I'm on my 3rd already and I take very good care of my controllers and tech in general.
I've put it down to GT7 and rocket league 😂🤣

Profchaos148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Same I'm on my 4th since launch 2 with drift and 1 with the springs snap off if the trigger all warranty replacements but it's still annoying.

This is the only generation I've had an issue since the duelshock on PlayStation 1,2,34 PSP vita in fact all of those are still going strong and I've not even had drift with the switch joycon which was apparently common.

I definitely feel the launch whit controller was a lesser build quality perhaps rushed to meet launch date while the coloured revisions are better quality they have thicker trigger springs at minimum.
When I called it out in here that I was a bit disappointed I had three break I was called a liar

CrimsonWing69148d ago

Same here, even my replacement controller for the one with stick drift got stick drift. Third times the charm though, haven’t had issues yet.

I’m also extremely OCD careful with my stuff. Making sure dust doesn’t get in the hardware, keeping things clean, not being rough on the controller. I’ve just never had the stick drift issue until these PS5 controllers.

EvertonFC148d ago

After 6 hours of gaming I'm normally walking the dog, or making something to eat or take a break and listen to a podcast while battery charging.
Had a couple of drifts though

frostypants147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

The early gen controllers almost universally go wonky. all three of mine did (two white, one black). Every controller made since they released the galaxy series of colors has revised internals. The SKUs changed accordingly. The fact that they are actually calling this new one "V2" makes me think it's a pretty big overhaul because they've already quietly made changes to these.

GoodGuy09150d ago

I was thinking all it really needs is a battery upgrade and there ya have it. Hall effect sensors would be great too but this is a good upgrade.

darthv72150d ago

i didn't think battery life was much of an issue. Stick drift though....

blackblades148d ago

Me either and I think it wont solve the issue cause some people will still B* about it or something

CobraKai148d ago

I got the drift on my launch controllers. I dont play games long enough in one session for the battery to be an issue. I usually charge my controllers once every 3 days.

Profchaos148d ago

Same it's not amazing but I've never one been stuck unable to play. Drift is a far bigger problem

Abnor_Mal148d ago

I have no problem with battery life, but what I would have liked on this new version would be back buttons/paddles.

BlackDoomAx148d ago

They have the Edge for that. Or you could go the cheap way and install an extremerate, it's easy and nice.

Abnor_Mal148d ago

The Edge is not worth the price if all I want is the back buttons, all the other bells and whistles the Edge can do I’m not interested in.

The PS4 back buttons were a very inexpensive solution that could have been added to the DS
