The “Cooling Springs” level of the PS5 pack-in offers a sense of what PS5’s new controller can do.
Johnathon Dornbrush writes: "One of the most exciting unknowns about the PlayStation 5 is how its next-gen system introduces a surprising revamp of PlayStation’s long-standing controller. The DualSense’s advanced haptics and adaptive triggers are meant to better immerse players in the games the next generation will deliver, but it’s still a question of whether its added tech is a launch gimmick or a more lasting change. Thankfully, Astro’s Playroom is a free pack-in launch game for PS5 meant to showcase what the DualSense can do. And my time with it – I was allowed to preview the Cooling Springs level – certainly hinted at some of the potential for what the new controller can deliver in a surprisingly Nintendo-like way, while also being a joyful PlayStation homage and a fun platformer in its own right."
Here's an in-depth look at whether Microsoft took advantage of the PS5 DualSense controller's features with the Xbox games on PS5.
i love how this is so indepth only to say "well yes, but mostly no"
haha xD good article tho
Beta starts today for invited participants in select countries.
As the new year kicks into high gear with an amazing slate of PS5 game releases like The Last of Us Part II Remastered, Tekken 8 and Helldivers 2, along with FINAL FANTASY VII Rebirth later this month,SIE are pleased to roll out another PS5 system software beta today with a number of quality-of-life enhancements and new features.
Listing for the DualSense V2 spotted over on Best Buy. Featuring improved battery life over its predecessor, the DualSense V2 could become a must-have PS5 accessory for those looking to stay wireless while gaming.
I have the Cobalt Blue controller and it lasts twice as long as my launch white controller did out of the box already.
never had a problem with the battery life or stick drift good to know that they improved it.
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.
I have no problem with battery life, but what I would have liked on this new version would be back buttons/paddles.
I love controllers and this one has me giddy with anticipation.
Can't wait to start using the amazing Dualsense controller. The only next-gen controller around.
With the PS5 it seems like Sony wanted to innovate with the controller and audio along with providing amazing looking games
The PS5 feels like an all around better improvement over last generation
DualSense is fantastic. No one will be dissappointed.
I can appreciate the added functionality of the peripherals instead of marketing and pushing tErAFLoPZ.
