That's a lovely looking controller! It's weird how I still get excited by reveals like this, but there we go.
Yup this looks way better than the white version
I’m talking aesthetics. It doesn’t need to be 160 quid to look smart, nor does the Elite actually cost anywhere near 160 quid to make anyway.The Elite is like 160 quid.
They are not gonna make a controller as expensive unless at a later date and the idea is to keep the cost down.
Looks alright, not mad on the 2 tone colour scheme the mock up in all black looks better. I do like that its looks a little bulkier than the DS4 its a plus in my opinion.
Jeez that looks much better.
Hahaha...Black people have the same hands as everyone else you racist
Yeah. Funny to think that they basically hinted to the colour of PS5 back in 2016 with the release of PSVR.So we can assume that the console will also be two-tone as well then? As consoles often mimic the colour of the controllers.
Oh yeah. I haven't used it for so long I forgot the colour of it. Not sure how I think about a two-toned console though.Yeah. Funny to think that they basically hinted to the colour of PS5 back in 2016 with the release of PSVR.
I'm positive they will - probably around 2022-2023.Oh yeah. I haven't used it for so long I forgot the colour of it. Not sure how I think about a two-toned console though.
Speaking of PSVR, I wonder if they'll do a big update and release a new one after PS5 has been on the market for a year or so. I would love to have a wireless one.
Is wireless VR a thing yet? I assume that it will need WiFi 6E to transmit 2x HD streams with low enough latency to also be responsive with the controller commands?Oh yeah. I haven't used it for so long I forgot the colour of it. Not sure how I think about a two-toned console though.

Well you can get a wireless adapter for the HTC Vive and the Oculus Quest is wireless, but that's a standalone thing where no PC is required. So not really, I guess. The reason I even mention it is because using the PSVR is such a pain in the arse. The wires are completely out of control, and unless you have an area in your home that is specifically used for this, you're forever setting it up and dismantling it.Is wireless VR a thing yet?

There's no direct sight of the back of the controller but I think they would have mentioned it in this post if there were back buttons. I imagine there will be another attachment released for it.Do we have any confirmation about back buttons being included on this? The back button attachment for the PS4 controller is a game changer. Paddles are essential now for me.
Looks like a Xbox controller
Surely they would've said it or shown us a picture of the back if they were included. It's worth noting the base Series X controller also doesn't have back buttons. It's not something we should expect on base controllers. I haven't looked at the back button attachment yet, could it be compatible with this one as well?Do we have any confirmation about back buttons being included on this?

My argument is simply that it looks a bit crap when you’d expect them to have designed something that doesn’t look a bit crap. Especially when you consider this is a high end console, all the big brands are making aesthetically pleasing stuff these days and this is Sony’s main thing.It looks fine for what will probably be a controller for £40-£50.
You literally compared it looks wise to a controller for £160 but not something like, you know, the actual Series X controller? (which is also plasticy)
I don't get your argument here. It looks like a more refined design wise to a DS4 and at roughly the same build quality (we only have like 2-3 images so far). Given that they are likely going in for the same price point I don't know what you were expecting?
It’s possible but that wouldn’t make economical sense unfortunately. There were strong reports it would be included so it’s disappointing if not.Surely they would've said it or shown us a picture of the back if they were included.

I like it...
I was going to say the exact same thing.it looks basically the same shape as the Switch Pro controller which I'm OK with, as it's great.
Yeah, you sell it separately and market it as a mandatory accessory with games developed with it in mind. Dollar bills...It’s possible but that wouldn’t make economical sense unfortunately. There were strong reports it would be included so it’s disappointing if not.
God, that's a long waitI'm positive they will - probably around 2022-2023.
They would get slaughtered if it was mandatory for some games and it wasn't on the default controller.Yeah, you sell it separately and market it as a mandatory accessory with games developed with it in mind. Dollar bills...
No, you make people think they need it. Still completely optional for all games.They would get slaughtered if it was mandatory for some games and it wasn't on the default controller.
That hasn't happened at all with the current back button attachment though, so I don't know where this cynicism comes from.No, you make people think they need it. Still completely optional for all games.
One more thing to toss into the cart.
