Looking forward to trying out the controller!

_SilverHawk_2028d ago

I truly like the useful innovations of the playstations and I cant wait to use the ps5 controller because it sounds like itll be amazing. I think the steam controller is one of the best controllers ever made with a couple drawbacks
of having only one analog stick and it needing to be tinkered with for every game but the ps5 controller seems like itll be innovative

UnholyLight2028d ago

Yeah Im honestly really excited to see what they do here, I really want a controller that does something different or unique, I want to see Sony and Microsoft branch off further from each other on what they can do with the controller

The Wood2028d ago (Edited 2028d ago )

Appreciating the improvements/added functionality but I pray it's not to the detriment of the battery life. Hopefully the new batteries hold more capacity. If they last the same amount of time with the additional strains I'll be ok but really hope for a longer life per charge

lifeisgamesok2028d ago

They actually confirmed better batteries in the controllers for more battery life

UnholyLight2028d ago

I've heard this sentiment a lot, so I hope that it gets out there more that it is confirmed that the controllers *should* or will have better life this time around!

AmUnRa2027d ago (Edited 2027d ago )

When you have seen the presentation of the DS5 you would have read that the battery life of the DS5 is improved😉

IRetrouk2028d ago

The adaptive triggers have me most excited, hopefully devs use them.

telekineticmantis2028d ago (Edited 2028d ago )

Rumors say the new SOCOM will use it. As you shoot let's say an LMG, the triggers push back as the magazine empties, letting you know when your low, instead of taling your eye of your enemy.

Would be great for sub-machine guns.

Kornholic2028d ago

What new SOCOM game? Zipper is dead and buried. Who is allegedly developing it?

CaptainHenry9162028d ago (Edited 2028d ago )

The Socom game is real. They was talking about it on Reddit like 1 year ago. It's been in development for about 3 years now when I read it on reddit. That would be a cool launch title

ssj272028d ago

@korn Guerrilla Games B team is. Since they didn't had much to do online wise they took the time ti develop a Socom game that will be resdy for ps5 lunch. Will use Decima engine. But dont hope for a Socom two type of game. This will be Socom game but not like the clasic ones.

GTgamer2028d ago

Let's see if these devs even put it to use😒

rainslacker2028d ago

Theyll probably use them as theyll be with every system. They didnt bother with the touch pad much because it had limited use in most games, and I think Sony only added it to allow for vita compatibility of some sort.

sprinterboy2028d ago

Agree, I think everything overall will be so much better. For instance games will actually be made from the ground up with 4k in mind, lessons learned with HDR this gen will again be improved upon nxt gen, implementation of Ray tracing (lighting and sound) plus the haptic controller upgrades will add further to the immersion.
A nice 4ktv with a dolby atmos will be a great pairing nxt gen or a decent official dolby atmos headset.

KickSpinFilter2028d ago

4K and HDR are nice and all but it's the graphics and effects I'm excited about.
Just was checking out 8K vs 4K at Bestbuy this weekend, the industry is going to have a hard time pushing out 8K to consumers let alone the infrastructure that needs to be in place for that. Heck even 4K vs Checkerboard rendering is of diminishing returns honestly.

sprinterboy2028d ago

Was watching a digital foundry video on how they think Sony will still use checkerboarding sometimes in games to push other areas and I think they will also.
Thats not a bad thing btw but a good one as I think the Ice team did a incredible job with checkerboarding and they will improve upon it for ps5 also.

KickSpinFilter2028d ago

Ya the checkboarding tech is pretty incredible, I could see both MS & Sony continue to use it in some games that are graphically dense to maintain performance standards. Once you give a developer an inch they want an inch and a half. After all it's hard to see a difference at 6-8 feet away between CB & 4K where most gamers play.

MasterCornholio2028d ago

Nice can't wait to experience haptic feedback.

telekineticmantis2028d ago

Cool. Now about that new PS Move controller with Analog and motion...

xenz2028d ago

Would love for them to take inspiration from Index controllers and implement finger tracking, haptic feedback and pressure sensitivity.

True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.

Knightofelemia4d ago

Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

Details are important. Console sales yes. Overall games Xbox seems to be doing fairly well in that department.

LoveSpuds3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

MS were doing so well that they had to start selling their games on their main competitors system which in turn results in around 30% of each sale going to Sony as the platform holder.

I do think tjat MS' fortunes will improve now that they are actually selling games rather than giving them away for pennies on the dollar.

Something that occurs to me is that the more success MS published games have elsewhere, the more stark it will become that selling games is much more profitable than renting them. If that becomes highly noticable, I wonder what the shareholders (who ultimately run the show) will make of a service which has stagnated for years?

crazyCoconuts3d ago

PlayStation doesn't compete with third party games, they compete on consoles. They profit from third party games. If you're not comparing consoles there's no point in comparing.

drivxr4d ago

Console wars are over.

Eventually, everyone else will catch up to this fact.

attilayavuzer4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.

Christopher4d ago

Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?

PanicMechanic4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great analysis. Just joking.

Pretending like companies give a f about where they “rank” against each other is just super retarded. This isn’t the World Cup.

Tell me, how does “PC” compete against a brand like PlayStation? It just doesn’t make sense at all. What you just said, is complete and utter nonsense

BlaqMagiq13d ago

I don't think PS cares about being in this so-called "last place" you came up with when they're making profits hand over fist.

microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail

Reaper22_4d ago

Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.

IRetrouk4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.

Profchaos4d ago

Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
