On a similar note though, im curious to see how much these features are used in 3rd party games. I hear the new CoD has adaptive trigger support, but I will definitely be interested to see if this is adopted by more devs. Also curious to see if these features make their way to PC, when using the PS5 controller.
This first wave of third party titles are definitely not using the controller to it's full potential, but that's kind of expected since they are generational bridge games. Like developed for Ps4/xbone and merely ported to the SeXbox and Ps5. Later titles will make much better use of it for sure.
As to your other point, yes the DuelSense controller is basically the only real next gen thing about these new consoles. Sure they are faster when it comes to load times (impressively fast) you don't actually play a loading screen so it really doesn't matter that much. The games run at 60 fps as well which is new for console people but nothing new in the overall gaming sense.
Which leaves us with a controller that does everything Nintendo promised the Switch's piece of shit controller would do, only Playstation actually delivers. And yeah rumble has been a gimmick since the N64, this time it really does feel different. The vibration is directional, and contextual in a way that they've never done before, and the dynamic resistance on the triggers is awesome. On paper it's no big deal, but when you get your hands on it and actually play games with it, it just adds a new level of feeling while playing. Now that i have a Duelsense, i don't wanna play on other controllers at all.
And when you consider that not only is this controller is amazing, but also that Microsoft didn't even try anything new whatsoever, just shows me how much Sony is actually trying to keep innovation and expanded technologies going in the game's industry. I mean think about just how little Microsoft has shown this generation, they didn't change the controller (and some people have said that the Series X controller actually feels worse than the Xbone ones), they've made no attempts to even dabble in VR, they have no showcase of any next gen titles whatsoever, no exclusives, and their one big offering is a fucking monthly subscription to play a library of old games that you likely don't give a shit about anymore.
Playstation's backwards compatability might only be for the Ps4, but at least all those games are still fairly relevant, and you don't have to sub to some bullshit to replay them if you have the discs because the PS5 just reads your Ps4 disc's with no problem. If you wanna go back, you can just play the game you already fucking bought. Crazy concept.
