Their branding on the official site uses the space and all caps for the abbreviated form:

I wonder how likely it is Dual Sense will have a back button attachment at launch. While I'm excited for the haptics, mic and adaptive triggers, it means leaving behind my custom Dual Shock 4 with back buttons. I've grown so used to them that it's going to be a huge annoyance playing with out them, at least until the third parties can pivot to the next gen controllers.

True. I used a Dualshock 2 on the PS3 for a couple of weeks once using a cheap USB adapter from eBay. Didn't work with a few games but the majority were fine

I have absoluteley no problem with developers making use of the DualSense and making it a requirement, but this here is Sony globally saying nonono.

I cant remember if connection ports and types were declared on ps5 but what makes me worried is having optical/in discarded. This makes my astro a50 gen3 a potato, considering it will not be updated for atmos support.
For me, headset compatibility is the most important issue.

I knew this was gonna happen I sold my extra PS4 controllers already, you can still get decent price for them right now . The Bluetooth headset thing bothers me much more even current systems are capable of doing it, I do it on my Nvidia Sheild with any Bluetooth headphones I want.
What about the Dual Sense on PS4 ?

Fuck them!
Now I’ll have to wait for arcade stick adapter to play future fighting game exclusives.
No way I buy another 200€ stick.
Won’t have this problem on Xbox series X.
Edit: my bad , arcade sticks will be working, I need to read before yelling.

PS4 arcade sticks and wheels will work.
They just want to sell extra PS5 controllers, so they pretty much just put up a fence around that.

Why? It's a new generation. And the PS5 comes with a PS5 controller so....

what's there to sigh about? Why on earth would you use dualshock 4 on a ps5 game when you already have dualsense bundled in with every console or dualsense would offer much better comfort and immersion than dualshock4 for ps5 games.

So glad you are a Xbox fanboy that will never buy a PS5 in the future. Glad you have a company that you can support that doesn't believe in advancing games into the future.

You want to hand off the shitty controller to your friend who visits now and then.
Sony would like to sell you another controller instead of...maybe giving you a break for being a long term customer?

This is my main concern as well. I figured them releasing the back button attachment so late in the PS4 lifecycle would for sure mean the next controller would have them standard. Now I'm beginning to think it won't have them at all even several years after launch.

They'll invent all excuses possible to not support it because they can sell a lot of new controllers. That's the real reason.

I'd like to know this.
I'd also like to know if DualSense could work for PS4 games being played on PS5.
You're right. There is nothing stopping it from working with PS4 games being played on the PS5. Go back and read the blog post again.

Good, that means I can keep my TGT and buy the new Load Cell pedals for it. Biggest worry and it took them way too long to clear this up.
And I'm glad I didn't buy an Astro C40. lol

Classic Sony, so basically you'll just buy new controllers... I get that you do this for games that actually use those specific features, but for other games they should have let you use the DS4.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
Really? You're getting a brandnew controller with your PS5 you know. And how else will you be able to play PS5 games that make full use of the new functionality of the Dualsense controller? Plus the DS4 will work with PS4 games on the PS5.

Being grumpy about having to buy two more controllers just to play Sackboy with my family. And another console with zero support to BT headsets is a pain in the ass.

It’s quite simple, for support to flourish you need to cut ties to the anchor. This is no different to PS5 support, vs Xbox family of consoles support.
Sony making the right call to usher in a new generation. Nothing more to it.

The only developers going to use all of this are first party, or 3rd party that make exclusive games. Because all the others also have to support Xbox controllers and PC. So if you are already supporting Xbox and PC too, then you can already support the DS4.
I get that you do this for first party or exclusive games, but not for every PS5 game. That doesn't push anything forward, that's just getting more money from your consumers.

How do you know that? What if Sony is providing API’s for e.g. a trigger pull feedback that takes no effort to implement in a game over and above just a call to it.
Devs need to depend on the feature set to be there as standard to do Even the bare minimum. Otherwise you fail before you even started.
Looking at the battery life thread, most people have gone their entire PS4 gen with a single controller, they will get one with the console this gen too.
If Sony watered down the PS5 gen with past controllers, that would be the issue. This is the correct approach. Are you a PS4 player?

...Until their next game comes out on PC, at which point you'll be able to play it with any controller. Except on PS5.
It's a bizzare and pointless line in the sand that pretty much only hits families. How could that be a positive?

Not buying PS5 if it doesn't support SixAxis. Six comes after 5 so there's no reason they can't future proof the console.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Don't really care. Might use old one's for BC though, just to keep my new controllers in good shape for longer.
Hope the new controller features catch on though.

Then you are still able to provide both, right? Let's say Ubisoft implements it for Valhalla, then they still have the regular stuff for PC/Xbox, so why not also support DS4?

The way people are going on you'd think not.
Why you would expect new games to support the old controller is beyond me.
If you want the new controllers features to be taken advantage of then it's imperative the devs are untethered from the old controller.

Positive for me, positive for next gen. You can play it on pc with an Atari 2600 joystick if you and your family can’t afford a jump to PS5. That’s the world we live in.

Because the PS5 is about the best, the rest can just ogle on for next gen envy

Really? Is that your answer? You must have felt great with the second job suggestion from PS3 '599' debacle.
