We got our first hands-on with the PS5 console hardware, and while its stark look doesn't scream PlayStation, there's a striking familiarity in the DualSense controller that feels comforting.
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 know its an unpopular opinion, but i think both the ps5 and series x look pretty ugly. Ps4 pro looks much better. I kind of like series s though.
Un-Playstation look? wait...there's a standard Playstation look??
this is just a poor excuse to bash the PS5 for what it isn't. since PS1, the PS console design has been different from one gen to the next.
how can you say things like this when there was very little similarity in design from PS1 to PS4?
If the PS5 were offered in black, I doubt many would be complaining. It would look sleek, even with it's giant size. The choice to make it white was not the right choice IMO. I cannot stand white electronics. There is already an outcry for skins, blades in colors, and different color offerings from Sony. If it were black, I don't think this would be the case.
Also I strongly dislike gloss black shiny plastic. They did this on the PS3...it was a dust and scratched up mess within a week. I don't know who decided to make the center area gloss black, but it is awful.
The other irony here is that when images were first shown the Xbox Series X was pegged as this monolithic console (hence the fridge meme)...when in reality it is the PS5 that is much larger.
I'm not too fond of the appearance, but my viewing it goes away soon after I'm playing on it. The OG PS3 wasn't very sleek, but I get over these things with the entertainment they provide.
