?? What does a PS5 controller do that's different?
James Ward
Games designed for new hardware don't fully support old hardware? Fucking nothingburger, bro.
Gavin Richardson
It makes Sony money when you buy one
Lucas Turner
>This is going to be a disaster isn't it?
What is even the purpose of this? Playstation won 5th, 6th, and 8th gen, and only lost 7th because nothing could compete with Wii Sports. It'll sell millions, it'll get games.
Kids can't see the value in gamepass. They just want to play fortnite on the latest Sony machine.
That is the future of console gaming.

>Over 100 million pads sold this gen >Same layout including touchpad >Easy PR win to let people use their DS4's while they transition to PS5 for co-op split screen play >Sony says "Eat shit. Buy our new pad" instead Easiest PR win in the book if they said Dualshock 4 would be compatable instead of forcing people onto the new pad. Instead, they are getting greedy. Arrogant Sony coming back.

David Flores
ok this is the biggest bullshit i heard so far, but i was planning on installing cfw on that bitch anyway, i'll probably end up using a fucking gamecube controller on it or some shit like that
Lucas Williams
When can I use the wii u pad for the switch? Based sony adopting Nintendo's tactics.
Cooper Clark
Costs you $80 and clutters your space with more controllers
Austin Baker
I'm guessing it's haptic feedback, no idea why they couldn't just turn it off though
Gabriel Ward
I'm fine with it because I know my controller won't break and won't have connection issues, unlike a certain company's controllers.
Hudson Myers
>Kids can't see the value in gamepass. are you kidding me? When I was a kid I hated only having one game for my birthday and one game for christmas. Holy shit if only gamepass existed back then. I think it's actually kids the ones who will take more advantage of this. I'm an adult and can buy all the games I want. Gamepass would save me a few bucks but I make more money in one day trading cryptos.
Jaxson Bell
>Same layout including touchpad Does your definition of "layout" include the features provided by that layout?
Lucas Smith
Switch isn’t BC with Wii U. The Wii U is 100% BC with Wii accessories. PS5 is BC with PS4 and can officially use specialized controllers. It can even use fucking move controllers from the PS3.
But then again at launch PS5 only will play a handful of PS4 games
Andrew Butler
What's even more hilarious is the PS5 has shit battery life as well KEK
Daniel Campbell
Is anybody actually surprised by this?, Thinking that you would get to keep your controller is pretty fucking naive.
Levi Rogers
>Specialty peripherals, such as officially licensed racing wheels, arcade sticks, and flight sticks, will work with PS5 games and supported PS4 games. feels good stick chads.
Only broke kids have gamepass. Adults fund the studios they like and buy good games without facilitating the inevitable subscription based shovelware apocalypse.
Carson Brown
I can't wait for them to show how shitty their backwards compatibility is and to drop it after a year.
Sony is being arrogant again, hope they get another PS3 after this shit. All Xbox needs to do now is announce a lower price.
Henry Martinez
Xbox 2013 >Don Mattrick, head of the company's Interactive Entertainment Business at the time, said in an interview that he didn't see backwards compatibility as a problem and stated that "If you're backwards compatible, you're backwards."
Sony 2020 >"In many cases, we can’t take everyone with us from previous consoles because you need new hardware and devices.”
Clean break with new gen and separate sku for cross platform = additional revenue stream
Forced to buy a new controller and old one artificially locked out = additional revenue stream
Selectively withholding certain PS4 titles from BC and introducing paid remasters = additional revenue stream
Updating a BC PS4 game with PS5 enhancements but selling it as a new desperate product = additional revenue stream
Paid online = additional revenue stream
Microsoft has attempted to change things up in all these regards but Sony stood their ground because these are all anti-consumer “new generation” policies that have always been in place and have always resulted in additional streams of revenue. And their fans will clap
Logan Morgan
>No, we believe that PS5 games should take advantage of the new capabilities and features we’re bringing to the platform, including the features of DualSense wireless controller.
Boy, I sure wish companies listened when Nintendo hoped for that with the Wii U, but of course it's only okay when Sony does it because "tru gamerz"
Matthew Williams
What anime is this?
Josiah Martin
There's no reason you shouldn't be able to anymore. Now that everything is USB and bluetooth there's literally nothing stopping it from being compatible.
Austin Harris

Aaron Sullivan
Came here to post this. Definitely leaning toward Xbox now.
Brayden Murphy
>only have a ps4 fight stick and use ps4 controller on PC Feels fucking good nigga
Julian Clark
On one hand, fuck Sony for being anti-consumer.
On the other hand, fuck Sony. Why do you care if their dogshit PS4 controller works with PS5? It was an AWFUL controller with sub McDonalds toy build quality.
Sebastian Rodriguez
this
Gabriel Rodriguez
I hope you are happy with your ds4 back buttons extension snoycucks. Adaptive triggers bro, total revolution
Sebastian Reyes
>new capabilities and features
such as?
Eli King
It has a microphone built into the controller that you can't turn off because it's spying you at all times.
Owen Reed
Prisma Illya
Christopher Carter
its because sony is hiding the fact that the ps5 controller has an actual screen in it
Nathan Hernandez
The stick can simulate resistance so it feels like you are walking through water/sand and the triggers can too to simulate pulling a bow/pushing a gas pedal. Apparently makes it feel pretty cool from hands on reports.
>Prisma Illya Thanks!
Gabriel Perez
I miss the select button bros...
Elijah Rogers
It was called sega channel you stupid zoomer faggot.
Dominic Martin
Bingo!
Isaac Sanchez
Who cares Sony already won
Noah Gray
I'm gonna be honest that sounds like something that would be extremely cool for the first 5 hours and then I'd turn it off and never use it again.
Easton Harris
well, , a built-in microphone to listen to goy.. i mean talk with your friends.
seriously Zig Forums, how long before sony backtracks and makes ps4 controllers work with ps5 titles? this feels like one of those things being pushed for greed, but will ultimately get reversed after enough flack from consumers.
