 Hey there Legend Ladies, it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and today I want to talk to you about the brand new reveal of the PlayStation 5's controller called the DualSense, so that's the first thing to know is that it's called the DualSense, it's not going to be called the DualShock 5 like I think everyone was expecting, although it's still got that abbreviation going, you can still call it the DS, maybe even the DS5, you know, DualSense, DualShock, same thing, kind of. So this was just kind of dropped randomly on the PS blog and all their social medias and stuff like that in a random Tuesday, no fanfare, whatever, but it's exploded, you know, everyone's talking about it, retweets, you know, so let's just go over what they say in the blog. So they say, we've reached an exciting milestone with the PS5 as we're starting to ship our new controllers in its final design to developers who are implementing its unique features into their games, but first we wanted everyone in the PlayStation community to get a first look at the DualSense wireless controller and hear our vision for how the new controller will captivate more of your senses as you interact with the virtual worlds and PS5 games. The features of DualSense along with PS5's tempest 3D audio tech will deliver a new feeling of immersion to players. So here's a look at the controller itself, as you can see, it looks completely different to what we have now, here's what we have now as you know, I'm sure. You've got this two tone look which I think is the most striking thing, you've got these lights going down the sides of the touchpad, the touchpad has been expanded upon, you know, the home button is different, it's actually the logo of the PS, you know, the PlayStation symbol itself, the face buttons especially, they've lost their color, if you know what I mean, they seem to be either a gray color now or they're maybe see-through, maybe there's a light behind that that's not shown up in this picture, you can see just the overall shape of it has changed a bit and at the very bottom there is a microphone and there's a mute button built in which is a nice touch I think, but we'll read more about this in a sec. So they say here, we had a great opportunity with PS5 to innovate by offering game creators the ability to explore how they can heighten that feeling of immersion through our new controller which is why we adopted haptic feedback which adds a variety of powerful sensations you'll feel when you play such as the slow greasiness of driving a car through mud, that's one example. We also incorporated adaptive triggers into the L2 and O2 buttons of DualSense so you can truly feel the tension of your actions like when drawn a bow to shoes and arrow, sounds cool. Now of course the more stuff that they put into these controllers the bigger the controllers can be and they talk a bit about this here how they worked to design this to make it as small as they can so they say with adaptive triggers we had to consider how the components would fit into the hardware without giving us a bulky feeling. The designers were then able to draw the lines of how the exterior of the controller would look and feel with the challenge of making the controller feel smaller than it really looks so in doing so they say we changed the angle of the hand triggers and they also made some subtle changes to the grips so you know these are kind of the things that maybe we won't really know how they impact us until we have the controller on our hands we know how it feels ourselves so that's kind of a wait-and-see kind of a thing. So next he talks about the battery and the waste he says we also took thoughtful consideration into ways to maintain a strong battery life for DualSense's rechargeable battery and to lessen the waste of the controller as much as possible as new features were added. He briefly teases this new create button which is replacing the share button we don't know why the name has been changed or what difference the create button will have with the share button they're kind of just saying we'll let you know more about that closer to launch so we're gonna wait and see on that one but I'm pretty excited about that as someone who makes content with their PlayStation the share button was so so handy it was the best thing about the controller in my opinion the DualShock 4 so I can't wait to see what the create button does and of course they've also got the built-in microphone this was we've seen this we've talked about this in patents and stuff like that in the past and here we have confirmation there is a built-in microphone now those patents did suggest that the PS5 would have a built-in like AI helper that you would talk to so like let's say google assistant or Alexa or something like that so this kind of lends weight to that too so there's a good chance that you'll be talking to your PlayStation through the microphone in the controller like asking for help with certain things or searching things or googling things or whatever talks briefly about colors which of course that was like super striking to see the colors but you know at the end of the day it doesn't really matter if you ask me in all we went through several concepts and hundreds of mock-ups over the last few years before we settled on this final design we want gamers to feel like the controller is an extension of themselves when they're playing so much so that they forget that it's even in their hands so immersion is the name of the game here which is you know obviously ideal that's something you want especially as a viewer gamer you know immersion that's key and then there's a brief message from Jim Ryan who's the president CEO of Sony interactive entertainment but he doesn't really say anything new about us but let's look back on the controller and see if the DualSense can tell us anything about viewer well first of all if you get a look at the top here we're missing the light bar from the top that is gone instead the lights have been moved to the front and they appear to be just cosmetic only which i assume that means there won't be too bright there is just just a charging port up at the top now so that does kind of hint at the fact that PlayStation Virtual Reality 2 will not be using light tracking which is something we've all had our fingers crossed hoping for light tracking is easily the biggest achilles heel that we currently have with the ps viewer one that we're dealing with right now there's so many things that can interfere with the tracking of the PlayStation camera if there's a reflection behind you if that if you're just slightly out of view with the lights or something like that so many things can go wrong so hopefully we're looking at something like inside out tracking or something like that for the next generation that could be a huge improvement now keep in mind if we do get a ps viewer two which we probably will we're also probably going to get new move controllers too like move controllers 2.0 they might not even be called moves they'd be called something else i'm sure so maybe some games will work with this but maybe or maybe sony want to take the approach of not you're anyone using moves when it comes to ps viewer two games i don't know we have to wait and see but with talk of like the adaptive triggers and the haptic feedbacks you know that sounds great that sounds perfect for virtual reality i'm going to leave it there you can let me know in the comments what you think of this controller i'm seeing a whole host of different reactions to this already some people think it looks cool some people thinks it looks you know good i've seen one person say it looks pretentious which i think you know is a pretty interesting comment for a controller you know but just let me know what you think below but before i end this video let me give a huge shout out to my patreon supporters whose names are on the screen right now this time for sure i forgot last time i'm sorry about that won't happen again and let me also give a shout out to crumb tradition pete hawkins and columbus thomas the third for their support on the top tier over on patreon if you want to be a patreon supporter too the link will be in the description below if not don't worry about it no big deal i'll still appreciate likes subscribes shares all that good stuff also a big shout out to decepticon for letting me use his music in all my videos go check him out over on decepticon.com and go listen to him on spotify or wherever it is you listen to your music you're probably gonna find him that is it for this video thank you for watching i'll see you in the next one bye for now
