PlayStation 5: Thread 05

[hudson]

The year starts with a bang on PS5 from my perspective. FFVII Rebirth is probably all I need (so hype for it, I look like a child).

Tekken, Infinite Wealth, Dragons Dogma, Granblue Fantasy vs... I have a backlog yano?

[fishbowlhead]

FF7 rebirth.
HellDivers 2.
LoU2 remaster.

In the next few months, not too bad.

Concord is still coming out as well, whatever that turns out to be.

I lost my mind and purchased a Dualsense Edge for £210.

My thinking was, being a Street Fighter 6 player, I wreck dpads. I'm currently on my 3rd standard Dualsense controller. I thought, maybe the Edge is more premium and all that. Well turns out it's pretty buff. From a fighting game playing perspective, the adjustable triggers are excellent. I can decrease the travel so it has same travel as the L1/R1 buttons. This is great. My stick with the Dualsense you might ask? Simply, that I am so used to using it. I enjoy using it for fighting games.

The dpad, looks the same from the imagery I was scoping whilst mulling over whether to get one or not. However, in my hands, I can tell that even though it is technically the same dpad, Sony have decreased the cut out space around the dpad. Such a little change has provided great benefits. Ultimately making the dpad less prone to any accidental diagonals. Something that can be demo'd on the existing Dualsense if you push the very top corner of the left directional button you can get a up/back input. So that's also great!

Outside of those features, of course if has the optional extra back buttons which have been great for FPS and action games. There's 2 types of back buttons too. A smaller trigger type or paddles. There's also extra stick heads you can swap out. PS1 style dome analog sticks in regular height or a taller option.

There's like a 10ft braided cord and an optional cable lock for unwanted cable disconnects. This is actually great for going to offline events.

Build quality is really good. Feels heavier than the DS. Has some rubber at the bottom of the handles which I'm currently unsure about.

Lastly there's the case which is just mad strong. I actually think it could take a bullet and survive. Oh it has replaceable analog sticks which is pretty cool. They pop out with ease when you unclip them for removal using steel pinflap things.

Was it worth £210, hmm no. Did I feel bad spending that much money which was xmas money? No sir. Very happy with it!

I got one of these for COD and agree with you - it isn't quite worth the price but it is much nicer that the standard controller in every way.

I like the smaller back buttons and use them in lots of helpful ways now.

One downside, battery is smaller so l battery life is a bit crap.

If you can afford it - it is an easy recommend. Does anyone need one? Not really.

I think if you take your CoD'ing or whatever competitive game that you could use this controller with, I would say one thing is for sure, is that this controller will give you an... ahem, edge. I think it will improve your experience and your score.

Come on peeps! Enough with the shilling, I'm trying to convince myself I DON'T need a AUD340 controller but I really really want one

Possible PS5 Slim alternate colours revealed at CES

[briareos_kerensky]

Remember there's a Gravity Rush movie in development? No? Me neither, and from the preview footage shown below I wish it wasn't. There's also a Patapon...something...in development...maybe? This video by Sony Japan looks more like an advertisment for Unreal Engine than anything else.

DualSense V2 inbound with longer lasting battery targeting 12hrs

[nonny]

Nice way to annoy every early adopter in less than 6 months...

I know they made the sticks replaceable in these but what about the batteries?

[hudson]

real gamerz use wired. At least they give the consumer options. The longer lasting battery is obviously more costly, so you can either go OG Dualsense or this. Would have been nice to see that battery in the Edge though.

[nonny]

Sony need to slow down in this new controller business otherwise they risk taking Xbox crown... they average one new controller a month in team green

[Neon Ignition]

This should have been in the box as standard when the Slim launched

[fishbowlhead]

Gamers: we want longer batter life in the DS.
Sony: here you go.
Gamers: boooooo this should of already been done booooooo.

[Lebowski]

To save time in future when Sony announce something, I've made a cheat sheet that you can copy and paste from.

Stupid PlayStation Remake nobody wants.

Stupid New PlayStation hardware.

Stupid ugly PlayStation console design.

Stupid PlayStation thing that costs to much for that thing.

Stupid big budget single player PlayStation game.

Stupid big budget multiplayer PlayStation game.
