INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Sony has just unveiled the controller we'll be using to play the PS5 - it's called the DualSense Controller, and it sports a number of
improvements that are concentrated on making using the controller feel more 'immersive'.Among these new features are adaptive triggers with
haptic feedback, a built-in microphone that will allow you to talk to friends without a headset and a 'Create' button that replaces the
top of the controller with an LED that surrounds the touchpad, giving the controller a slightly larger look and feel.Check it out for
yourself below:Image 1 of 2(Image credit: Sony)Image 2 of 2(Image credit: Sony)The two-tone design is something new for PlayStation's
controllers - never have we seen a console launch with one in the past (they've all been solid black or off-white) and could mean that the
console itself is two-tone as well.Like the PS4 DualShock Controller, the DualSense will be rechargeable with a built-in battery and Sony is
promising it's worked hard to keep battery life high without adding too much weight to the controller itself.When can we get our hands on
it?While Sony has yet to commit to a specific PS5 controller release date, the PS5 DualSense Controller post ends with a note from President
its new controller design? Well, apparently these are the controllers that will be going out to developers as they finish the first round of
PS5 games and Sony wants to give them some hands-on time with the new hardware
By revealing it on the PlayStation Blog, Sony is beating leaks.'Does it come in all-black?'Although it's only just been announced, reactions
Some have even taken it upon themselves to make mock-ups of an all-black controller.For now, the latter is just a mock-up and not an
official release from Sony, but here are 100% genuine takes from Twitter about the controller:IGN's Executive Editor Ryan McCaffrey calls
out Sony's decision to stick with inline, convex control sticks, and the stubby triggers.Pointing out the bulkiness, as
TheIndianSubcontinent's Deputy Editor John McCann does here is something others have said too
so the last one may not be genuine, but it's comedy gold.We'll continue to monitor the situation as new and better hot takes emerge (and
cook up a few of our own as well) and update this post should Sony drop any more PS5 news in the next few hours.
