PS5 DualSense Controller’s Best Features

With adaptive triggers and haptic feedback inside, the DualSense offers new opportunities for PS5 gameplay and connecting what's on screen to the controller in your hand. But it has to be used for more than just Astro's Playroom.
The PlayStation 5 sports faster load times and improved graphics over its predecessor, but its controller is the thing you're probably going to notice most as you dive into your next-generation gaming experiences. The DualSense sports a bunch of improved technology, from its adaptive triggers to its dynamic haptic feedback, that elevate the games that use it well.
The best showcase for the DualSense we've seen so far is Astro's Playroom, the 3D platformer that comes bundled with the PS5. It uses every speck of capability the DualSense offers, showing off its enhanced rumble features with feedback based on what surfaces you're walking on and what actions you're taking, changing the tension of the adaptive triggers to mimic what Astro is doing on screen, and adding the touchpad, microphone, and gyroscope into the mix to amplify them all.
Check out the video above for our impressions of the DualSense--including why we're a bit worried about its long-term prospects. We've got plenty more PS5 coverage now and in the coming weeks, so be sure to stick with GameSpot to catch it all.

"Pinpoint sensations in different places on the gamepad" This one intrigues me the most. In shooters developers use intrusive UI elements to tell you which direction you are getting shot at. I turned off all UI elements in TLOU II but now it is harder to tell from which direction I am getting shot at only based on sound, so having some pinpoint physical feedback on the controller can be a more immersive solution to this.

[@chanunnaki]

The simplicity with which developers can implement the haptics and adaptive triggers means that it will be adopted by a large swathe of third parties, particularly the haptics, as that is present in lieu of traditional rumble motors. Haptics can be implemented easily through piping in-game sound effects through the dual voice-coil actuators, thus effectively resulting in “zero-effort” on the developers’ part. There are already a large swathe of third party titles making use of all the features of the DualSense and judging by the developer feedback, implementation is made stupidly easy through PS5’s SDK. So all this bodes very well for DualSense adoption from the beginning to the end of this incoming generation.

[@sjneow]

There are already a lot of games that announce support including Watch Dogs and Immortals Fenyx Rising, there difference between this and touch pad is that with touchpad you actually need to find real gameplay use for it, with DualSense Haptic Feedback, if you are already going to define when the controller is going to rumble, you can choose what kind of rumble you want at the same time. Sony have simplified the job for them, Mark Cerny in his presentation has said that they have created hundreds of profiles for common stuff like sand, wood and metal and developers can just pick they profile they want, I bet everything used in this game is already in the form of profiles accessible by third parties

Mind you, it's not a deal breaker for PS5 (it's an awesome console regardless), but you are going to cycle the battery through many times very fast if you play often. It's going to make the battery life even worse in just a couple of years, it's unfortunate side effect in li-ion batteries. :/

Its a shame that so many games don't use all of this stuff. Like In spiderman. Idk if its in it or not, but when you do a dive off a building. The 6 axis could be used to twist and aim spiderman.

While playstation's own user base is massive I wonder if the lack of parity between some features on the xbox & DualSense(i) continue to hold us back esp with 3rd party devs. We don't have the same advanced haptics, touchpad, motion sensor, mic, speakers etc even on the new xbox controller! I think devs would cater to these features more if both platforms had more parity. Sadly, Astro is a demo ultimately and will probably be the most comprehensive and expansive application of these features but I would love to be proved wrong, at minimum I pray the tensioned triggers stick and become a standard. For better or worse sony has pushed the envelope man

[@vishwankvrai]

Only good about the new playstation 5..you have accept the facts

[@darthx2445]

In conclusion no lil kid should touch your high tech controller or else your wallet will be crying from time to time

[@XVNRX]

It’s just so great how a CONTROLLER Is getting this amount of Praise Can’t wait to get mine and also my second controller from controller chaos

[@abhishekvarma3001]

Whether or not the devs use the haptics, the price itself is enough to sell the fact that this is cool I mean the ps5 is about the same as PS4 pro if not a little more (digital edition) I don’t own one tho

[@egirlsrule902]

You can now use the controller on Cold War on pc!

[@reverieanimates887]

I think it will help if Microsoft implemented the same idea to xbox controllers like it would be enough to support the gimmick for third party games considering Sony doesn’t have incentives to release drivers on Windows.

[@PurpleColonel]

Yknow what's funny is that Nintendo systems and controllers have had all of these for at least 3 years.

True, but not on this level

[@chrisholland3066]

they dont even have analog controllers on the switch, something super basic Also, the switch has none of these Like adaptive triggers or haptice feedback They have nothing the same

[@PurpleColonel]

@@chrisholland3066 Haptic feedback is like a selling point on the switch. It's called "HD rumble" lol

[@tnductai]

probably only exclusive games will adopt this haptic the best, would be too much work for multi-platform developers.

[@jckorn9148]

Gran Turismo 7 should make great use of the Dual Sense. Loved the rumble in the triggers on the Xbox One controller when playing Forza. I expect that on steroids.

[@goofball1616]

The best part of the controller is the triggers

[@jokotri2186]

In a year maybe more developer will use all those feature

[@tuliaojoshuaable]

Basically an advanced vibrator.. girls favorite toys

[@Brawlio13]

Best thing about it is how incompatible it is with anything else. Am I right people who own the controller already? Cuz its practically useless without a PS5

[@Brawlio13]

@@PrimyFritzellz I mean, I guess I don't regret getting it early because I'm letting my girlfriend play Black ops 1 for the first time and I hooked up and mapped the PS5 controller through steam. I'm just jealous cuz her first experience with call of duty was with such a good feeling controller. Even got the controller vibration working and man... those gun shots.

[@uhoh7020]

I hope you feel like spiderman when you play spiderman

[@Gerardhutt]

I wonder how many third party games are really going to make full use of the controller.

[@SLAUGHTERHOUSE69]

The suicide squad, Gotham knights, gta6, rdr2, rdr3, mafia series, etc.
