Who hurt you?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Improve the battery life, you CUNTS.

Is not a shortcoming is a feature. Quality of Life.

You should take a rest every hour bro.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Looks good. Might grab one.

 

[R6Rider]

Wrong thread

 

[MarkMe2525]

Actually this controller looks cheap. I was hoping it would be higher quality parts

This may be the case, but it might be best to wait until we can see the physical product vs this 3d render before passing judgement.

 

[Esca]

Fucking finally. So but. I was so angry that back buttons weren't on the dualsense (but I expected it mostly)

 

[prinz_valium]

No price, such a bate

 

[DonF]

Damn that's sexy

 

[March Climber]

Sorry, didn't know I needed to ask your permission to enter a thread and state my opinion.

Oh rubbish, no need to bring gatekeeping into things. You know what you're doing and I'd rather you be bold and just claim that you're doing it. Have a little fun.

Like anything else there is an opportunity cost - time, resources and money are put towards something like a new controller. All of that, especially the money, could be put towards the development of new games.

I suggest doing research into the multiple facets of how an industry titan like Sony actually functions, instead of thinking that A takes away from B which takes away from C. It's not that simple.

But hope you enjoy the controller if it's something you're actually interested in.

I'll need to try it first, but at first glance it looks like a nice improvement that people were waiting for.

 

[rodrigolfp]

We've had lists like this every year for the last 3-4 years and time and time again the vast majority of releases are a disappointing buggy mess while only a handful of games actually deliver.

Historically Sony have tended to deliver but it seems like they would rather focus on chasing the nonsense Xbox/Microsoft are doing instead of simply staying in their lane and delivering.

I don't give a fuck about more controllers, the one packaged with the console is more than good enough, give us more games.

You:

 

[RoboFu]

Pretty cool... if it doesnt come completely apart when dropped Ill buy one day 0

 

[StealthGoblin]

Such a poor show that this was the best announcement. Jesus.

 

[Chronicle]

But what about those of us who are different? I identify as a weakling and this may be too heavy. I'm offended and complaining!

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

" 9 to 12 hours when it will be full charge. It has a rechargeable battery lifespan."

emmm... original lasts about 8 hours. SO barely any improvement

Yeah barrely an improvement from 1560mah to 2600mah.

 

[mansoor1980]

looks awesome

 

[rofif]

Yeah barrely an improvement from 1560mah to 2600mah.

I looked at some reviews... barely any improvement and I need to purchase it and open up the controller.
Makes no sense., I would rather buy another dualsense

 

[David B]

Hell yeah the sticks are closer together, the touch pad is smaller, there's grips added to the triggers, there's 3 sets of sticks, and 3 levels for the triggers to press down! OMG!

 

[Roxkis_ii]

Looks almost the same.
Dualsense is already good.
But I will feel not ok putting 150 (or whatever it is) for a controller with built-in lion battery. These things just age and die pretty quickly.
And paddles are too much

To be fair, the battery is easier to replace then most electronics.

 

[Fake]

Looks ugly, but hope is functional. Back button was supposed to be on Dualsense day one, but anw.

 

[M1chl]

Are they HALL effect sticks? They are already on cheaper device, so I don't expect here anything less.

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

$70 was already ridiculous for a video game controller

 

[Putonahappyface]

$70 was already ridiculous for a video game controller

I'll genuinely be shocked if it's not double the price or more.

 

[THE DUCK]

Feeling a bit ripped off that my $70 didn't already include a 2600mah battery.
Still looks interesting, will but one if they don't overprice it. ($99? would be nice, but I doubt it, even maybe settle at $120)
To be clear, the Elite II is overpriced, I don't want to see this here too.......

 

[skit_data]

Don't know if I like the name "Edge", seems a bit unnecessary to name it something so specific.
How many products are called "Edge" now btw?
Galaxy Edge, Microsoft Edge, Playstation Dualsense Edge…
A simple "Dualsense Pro" would've worked just fine.

Anyway, it looks absolutely great. Feels like the aestethic of the PS5 hardware eco system grows on me more and more despite the relatively skeptical initial impression of the console itself.

 

[Rayderism]

I'll probably get one of these if I ever have to replace either of my current regular DS5's.

 

[DenchDeckard]

oh shit.....Only two back pedals....and whats with the over engineered analogue stick switching mechanism.

I dunno, not sold on this now. Seems like a shame.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Looks good. Dualsense controllers are the best.

 

[Banjo64]

Back buttons and hair lock triggers, all that matters price in UK?

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

It's worth it just for the swappable sticks.

Start seeing stick drift? buy a new stick module instead of a whole new $70 controller. Yes pls.

 

[Elios83]

Looks great but Dualsense is already amazing as it is.
I'll probably buy it if one of my two controllers breaks or battery life becomes poor.

 

[Skifi28]

Are they HALL effect sticks? They are already on cheaper device, so I don't expect here anything less.

I'd keep my expectations low for now.

GIVE ME A FUCKING CONTROLLER WITH REMOVABLE AA BATTERIES YOU TWATS

My Eneloop batteries last me forever when playing games

Honestly the perfect controller would be the Dualsense with AA batteries. That's all I want.

The Xbox controller is fine for PC games but I hate asymmetrical joystick/DPAD.

 

[Loxus]

Could anyone imagine a Smartphone having AA batteries?
See how dumb that sounds.

Exactly!

I will never understand why people want to put batteries into a controller. I have never ran out of charge on my controller while playing a game.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Good luck finding any kind of replacement for your gamepads built-in batteries in a few years.

 

[OZ9000]

I will never understand why people want to put batteries into a controller. I have never ran out of charge on my controller while playing a game.

I use rechargable Eneloop batteries and they have a superb battery life in my Xbox controller. I can play games for days without charging.

The DualSense requires charging after 6 hours of use.

Built in batteries are the absolute worst.

 

[ksdixon]

Sigh, no screen on pro controller. No credible rumors for a portable.

 

[Bartski]

It's beautiful. Sticks are always the weakest link making them easily replaceable is a great call. Absolutely getting at least one at launch, I hope in time for Ragnarok

 

[R6Rider]

You can still easily find replacement batteries for the DS3.

I also don't get why people play for that long without breaks anyway. I walk away and put the controller on charge.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

I will pay $220 for this.

OR

I will pay $440 for it on ebay or stock X

 

[BoxFresh123]

Oh man that looks nice

 

[demigod]

Who came up with this stupid shit?

The reason for paddles is to not have your thumbs get of the sticks. Why does this controller have two extra buttons underneath the sticks for which you actually get your thumbs off the sticks to press them. Makes zero sense.

Because those 2 buttons below aren't paddles. They are FN(function buttons).

Can the paddles be used as additional buttons?

GT7 for examples has more inputs than available buttons.

Those paddles seem to be new RB and LB buttons. I doubt you can use it as additional buttons unless the game is updated for it.


Dualsense battery sucks ass for long sessions. Anyone gaming on PC just get yourself an 8bitpro 2. Mappable 2 button paddles with like 20hours of removable rechargeable batteries using usb-c.

This thing will cost $199 at least.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

I'm waiting for Sony to open up the PS Controller design lab next.

He said smartphone lol.

There aren't any, but there are energizer branded smartphones out there.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

Improve the battery life, you CUNTS.

Stop hiding behind that veil, come out and tell us how you REALLY feel

 

[Banjo64]

I think the issue is more the Dualshock 4 and Dualsense having terrible battery life. My DS3, Wii U Pro controller, Switch Pro controller and Elite v2 last for a week or so at a time with moderate to heavy use.

It's a non issue for me because I play at a desk and have a USB C connected at all times for my Elite v2, MS wireless headset, Switch pad etc.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

[Banjo64]

? It's more like 'I hope you're competent enough to open your pad and change your battery in 5-10 years' which will be a non issue for 99% of people who will be on the Dualsense 2 by then.
