2:05 “Circle means - yes and cross - no” Literally in every PlayStation game and PlayStation itself: the opposite

[@bartekmorag7364]

It referes to japanese meaning of these symbols. On japanese consoles circle button was for accept/enter and cross for cancel/back, creating the same layout like on Nintento (A - "accept" was on the right; B - "back" was at the bottom). Some time ago function of O and X was unified all over the world, taking away japanese original meaning.

[@bullymaguire6942]

Actually when you play gta on ps3 circle does mean yes but for some reason on ps4 circle means no

[@automation7295]

Not in Japan. In Japanese market, it's a common practice that O means - yes and X means - no. Outside Japan, X do however mean - yes and O mean no. Why do some people don't understand that some markets are different?

I remember I first played with a DualShock 4 controller. I loved it. At the time, it felt like a controller should. Now with the DualSense controller, it's about as great as the DualShock 4 if not better than it. USB-C is a reason why, however, the haptic feedback takes it to the next level.

Nintendo's been real quiet since PS1 controller was made

[@EZKI332]

Ya literally

[@Rosaslav]

I can imagine several ways of improvement 1) They can separate hands (which they already do with PSVR) and thus allow for free hand movement. 2)They could also replace buttons with advanced haptic feedback, which could allow for different button layout configurations and improve reliability by removing moving parts of physical buttons (although not sure how durable are advanced haptic feedback units). 3) They could make the controller shape adaptable (imagine gloves). 4) They could add space detection cameras (like in selfdriving cars) to further improve on gyro capabilities of position detection and movement in space. And obviously they could combine all this, but thats a long way, obviously, so it is probably going to be gradual change bit by bit (as it can be already seen in this video).

[@willtaylor6793]

I was skeptical about the dualsense at first, but after getting a PS5 i've quickly become to favor it over any other controller i've ever used. the streamlined handles that are decreased in size allow for easier grip, and the bumpers being twice the size of the usual bumpers make it much easier for me to play claw grip, as before my fingers would often slip off the DS4 bumpers. And all while sticking to the playstation controller fundamentals everybody knows? all around amazing

[@saniakshay12]

Yeah I was skeptical until I played Astro Playroom and Returnal. Feeling the rain was incredible. Using the triggers in Returnal was mind boggling. I cannot wait to see PS5 exclusives start using these features more now that the cross gen era is ending.
