Best controller ever. Amazing haptics and it also seems it has much less latency compared to the new Xbox controller.

Not everything has to be a competition

SullysCigar1289d ago (Edited 1289d ago )

There are differences between the new consoles and it's natural to compare and contrast.

Some things are more important for some than others, so it's helpful if people are deciding on a purchase.

When playing online competitive games, latency is pretty key aspect if you're talented and serious about those leader boards - especially for games you can compete in across all consoles/PC.

ScootaKuH1289d ago

Completely agree. It has a nice weight to it and the triggers and haptic are perfect. I was expecting something like the HD rumble in the Switch Joycons but this is on another level.

On a side note it doesn't stay clean for long though, the back of my DualSense has already started to turn yellow and I've only had the machine a couple of days

Aussiesummer1289d ago

Bullshit. Its unnoticeable in demons souls. Most overhyped feature. Watch it dissapear by 2021.

potatoseal1289d ago

You're just angry because you're probably getting your A kicked in Demon's Souls. The controller makes the game feel a shit load better. I've been playing nothing but Demon's Souls for over a week on PS5. The Dualsense is amazing. I can't imagine playing a Souls game without it now. It would definitely feel like something is missing. Combine it with the amazing headphone sound. The only thing that you don't notice is the drawing of the bow in this game. Other than that the controller experience is exceptional.

‘The only thing you don’t notice is the drawing of the bow’. Aka they don’t even use the adaptive triggers in this game. Thanks for confirming. All they have left is rumble, which is not as pronounced as Astro’s Playroom. Footsteps are not even implemented. These are facts.

whitbyfox1289d ago (Edited 1289d ago )

It’s not used at all. The rumble is the same, and there is no adaptive trigger support.

The ps5 dualsense is SO GOOOOD

When I enchant my weapon with magic it just feels like this is the most powerful weapon in the world!

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.

This guy wrote a whole dissertation.

VenomUK5d 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. 🫡

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

Xbox on PSN took a minute to get used to.

The best PS5 exclusives 2024

With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond

PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?

VersusDMC49d ago

They won't complain about Microsoft not releasing games here but put all their effort into saying that only first party counts. Games like Rebirth and Grandblue Relink don't count. Games published by Sony like Helldivers 2, Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin don't count because Sony don't own the studios.

It's some narrative building so for when Hellblade 2 come out they can say, seemingly without shame, that Microsoft is actually releasing first party games this year. And claim victory.🙃

Chevalier49d ago

Weird 1st party games didn't matter when Xbox had so little, but, now they're important again? Guess Ark 3, Stalker 2 don't count any more?

KyRo49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

ARK 3 doesn't exist and it's just a timed exclusive. It's also a game that a majority of the ARK player base doesn't want as it's a massive deviation from what people like about the original game

Abnor_Mal49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Honestly to me it doesn’t matter what they say, they are just finally getting a chance to say all the things PS fan(boy)s were saying to them for the past few years. Let them get that, they deserve a “win” for a change.

The new narrative is that suddenly first party games matter again when awhile ago they didn’t, but that was because they were struggling with the same three games with the occasional fourth or fifth. That games should be everywhere on all platforms since that’s whats happening to theirs. The consoles don’t matter just the ability to play anywhere. Whatever Xbox is doing Sony will soon follow.

They’re not moving the goalpost anymore, but rather just moving the whole damn stadium.

jwillj2k449d ago

Only a incel would care about who published what and who owns who.

If it’s not on the other consoles it’s an exclusive.

Killing what? Where are the 1st party games??
Stellar Blade and FF7 is what I’m seeing this year.. so shallow!!!!

andy8549d ago

Doesn't really matter as long as they're great games. Baffles me why people put an emphasis on 1st party. They're still games you can't play anywhere else this year

Cacabunga48d ago

Andy

PS brand is my favorite because of their stellar first party software.. currently I see absolutely nothing to go crazy for..

CS748d ago

Nonsense.

PS1 and PS2 was built on great third party exclusives like FF, MGS, GTA & Tekken.

Of course I love the games I’ve played from PS but I don’t believe we need to limit it to ‘exclusive’ to acknowledge that Xbox will be releasing some good games this year also. In that same vein, I believe that Xbox diehards shouldn’t limit their acknowledgment of good PS games to 1st party. There are plenty of good games to go around for everybody.

Tacoboto48d ago

This is a Playstation article about Playstation games and your comment is about Xbox. Can't you just celebrate what PS has without dragging this into console war BS?

ChasterMies48d ago

I don’t think Microsoft is releasing games exclusively on Xbox anymore. They have some timed exclusives that release on Xbox first.

Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.

GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.

But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.

Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.

SonyStyled48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Sony owns the Helldivers IP. The first was a PS3/Vita/PC game. It was never an Xbox game that they could ‘get’ a decade ago. I’m not sure what the upset is with Xbox here

CS748d ago

Lol, how do you ignore Rebirth one of the best games ever made?

anast48d ago

Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.

I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.

DaniMacYo48d ago

Helldivers 2 is exactly what gaming needed. I’m loving it.
