In all fairness none of the big boys have made a decent controller this gen, the PS5 pad dies fast and has that horrible haptics that add zero value to any game, Nintendo have just been rumbled in a big way in the EU for the shambolic Joycon drift situation and Microsoft seriously nobody wants to use batteries anymore!

I agree with you with the Yoycons. They feel awkward and drift easily which is inexcusable for the price. The Switch Pro controller is very comfortable however, and I also have no issue with the Series S/X controller. They're comfy and I don't mind changing batteries as I hope/plan to keep using them for PC over the next 10/15 years, as I did with the X360 pads before them.

Stuff with built in batteries will be useless in 5-10 years as the batteries will be dead or won't hold a charge for longer than an hour anymore.

I do like the PS5 controller and it's haptics... that I wish were well implemented in more games. Personally (YMMV of course) it's the most comfortable controller that I own.

That said, it's pretty fragile I am on 3rd controller already and I don't play much MP, shooters or super twitchy games on PS5 that would have me hammer those controls. That said kids do play it as well. Not that Nintendo is much better with joycons and MS controllers have their own issues.

Anyways, it's hilarious and kind of weird to have Sony do this. Wouldn't necessarily call Sony's gaming hardware output pinnacle of manufacturing or anything. I like their stuff but their systems have had a ton of well known issues.

Issue with Switch Pro is crap d-pad. It's just no good for classic games or other heavy d-pad games. Otherwise yes, very solid controller.

tbh, not the right time to use the word inferior while the actiblizz still under scrutinizing

Its just so odd to use this terminology in a patent

Its more like a console warrior like Jez or Tom Warren would write in an article covering hardware

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Who says Sony is arrogant?

 

[RoboFu]

That 122 million sales stinging a little bit is it.

 

[AJUMP23]

Console warrior thread.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Knowing Sony's track record of worse and worse batteries in their controllers I'm expecting 30 minutes of playtime before having to plug it in like it's 1995.

 

[SoloKingRobert]

Sony may be throwing shades, while at the same time hiding their disappointment on the Activision Blizzard Acquisition. PlayStation top seller will soon become Microsoft's First Party IP....

 

[nemiroff]

Ooo, that gaming forum speak.. He'd fit right in here with us.

 

[splattered]

Yeah expect Sony to act like little crybabies for a long time post Acti acquisition.

 

[Tommi84]

PS5 pad has that horrible haptics that add zero value to any game

have you actually PLAYED any game wth good haptics implementation? Haptics are MILES BETTER than old-gen rumble motors that's not even close

 

[wvnative]

This is amazing coming from the only console manufacturer that blocked adaptive tech and any non licenseed controllers on their platform. Piss off Sony.

 

[systemr123]

At least you get rid of controller lag, which was Sonys plan in the first place.

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

Aww soon the inferior hardware is going to be able to play call of duty while the superior won't lol

 

[Crayon]

These wounded warrior replies, lord.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

I just can't stomach this actor anymore. Horrors of TLOU still haunt my memory when I see his face.

What was so bad about his TLOU performance?

 

[Clear]

It takes a special amount of muck-raking "skill" to pull click-bait out of a patent application of all things!

If you think this in any way resembles "news" I think you need your head examining.

 

[Henry Panic]

Activision deal just got approved, good going Jim.

 

[Aenima]

Guess Chad Warden got a job at Sony. Still ballin.

 

[Aenima]

Yeah GT7 feels like a diferent game to play without haptics and adaptive triggers on. The feedback you get from the controller helps alot, not only on imersion but also improves your reaction times as you can feel the car losing grip before any visual information.

 

[Azelover]

Arrogance. We have seen it before and we know where it leads..

 

[solidus12]

PlayStation is the best place to play.

Won't show more than this...

Reports say that after this episode many gays have become straight again thanks to this hairy monstrosity.

 

[rapid32.5]

4-hour battery life sign me up.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

4-hour battery life sign me up.

Where did you come up with that number? Mine gets me 10 hours on average.

 

[solidus12]

Arrogance. We have seen it before and we know where it leads..

A consistent release of amazing exclusive games in the PS3 era, that made PS Studios the juggernaut they are today?

 

[Aenima]

Leave Steam Deck out of this thread plz.

 

[adamsapple]

MS and ABK right now

 

[aries_71]

It’s bewildering the legal team of a “multinational“ company vetted such expression.

 

[aries_71]

COD money made the juggernaut, that’s what Sony says.

 

[Spitfire098]

No lies detected...

 

[Venom Snake]

Wtf..

 

[solidus12]

COD money made the juggernaut, that’s what Sony says.

if they so; the thing is, Microsoft failed to reach the same first party quality despite their share of COD money and their "war chest"

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

I guess he means from the Edge controller as I don't even get that much when I play Hell Let Loose but it has A LOT of haptics going on

Talk about taking a headline and running with it

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

where is the shade?

 

[JaksGhost]

There are grown fucking adults in this thread acting like this over a word in a patent

 

[{insert code here}]

 

[aries_71]

Who says they didn’t? You? Sorry, but that narrative doesn’t hold a minimum scrutiny: Gears, Forza, Halo, etc were all top notch quality titles in the same timeframe.

that is not what the facts say.

 

[Batiman]

Embarrassing

 

[T4keD0wN]

Slow news week huh?

 

[ahtlas7]

On my PC I use a Dualsense from an inferior console.

 

[reksveks]

PSP will elevate portable entertainment out of the handheld gaming ghetto, and Sony is the only company that can do it.
