I'll pick up a second DualSense controller at launch, so I'm fine with the PS4 controller not being compatible. I thought the camera wouldn't be compatible since there will be a PS5 camera. Nice know it is.

this isn't confirmed yet, Lets wait and see. I do share your same frustration about using custom bt headsets
Okay. So you're fine with PS5 versions of PS5 games having less features than PC versions before the gen has even began?
Great. I've got slightly higher expectations.

Not sure what you mean regarding features. But yes, PS5 is where it’s at next gen.

I’m okay with this I guess. At first I was like wtf, but honestly there is going to be very very small amount of times that I would ever need to actually use it.
I‘ll keep my purple DS4 for backward compatibility, and to use with my Switch. I’ll trade the rest in with my Pro.
I am glad that headsets will still work. I’ve been wanting to grab the Arctis 1 Wireless due to the switch functionality but didn’t want to jump in on something just in case.

I mean it is what it is.
Xbox has no new controller features for the new gen.
Playstation does
Will Sony's new features catch on/be worth it? Time will tell.

It outright states that the DS4 will work with PS4 games.

'The Platinum and Gold Wireless Headsets, as well as third-party headsets that connect via USB port or audio jack, will work on PS5'
Either it must use a USB dongle or P2 connector, no direct BT connection to PS5.

The XSX controller has a share button now.

Depressing that people don't realise why DS4 not working on PS5 games is such a slap in the face. Yes, you get one controller bundled in. Wanna play multiplayer? Got a controller that's functionally identical? Fuck you, buy a new one for $70+.
The DualSense has fancy feedback, what it doesn't have is any sort of new input that new games might demand.
You could use a PS1 controller on a PS2 for many games because they were the same thing. Some had compatibility issues but there was no global policy.
You couldn't use a PS2 controller on a PS3 because of Sixaxis.
You couldn't use a PS3 controller on a PS4 because of the touchpad/button.
You can't use a PS4 controller on a PS5 because of greed. Buy what you like, but stop defending it like it's not total horseshit.

Except for Kinect. They always seem to forget that one.
Or because there's no reason they couldn't make it work for most, if not all games?
The api exists, the work will be done on 95 per cent of games to work on a non-Dualsense controller. Anybody who is happy with this has drank the kool aid, not those of us unhappy.

Yup.
Gamers want advancement but not pay for it. Why would a dev have any reason to support the ds when the thier game can support the ds4?

Yea yea yea we know “ no gamer left behind“ yada yada
Some of us want new things. Sony caters to us.
Otherwise just get an xbox.

How does getting new things prevent the old thing from working?
How does forcing Dualsense help with, say, Kena? Or Valhalla? Or the vast majority of games that'll have Dualshock 4 support elsewhere?

No DS4 support sucks. The controller has no new buttons and every third party game (which will be the VAST majority of games on the system) won't be specifically designed for the Dualsense. Every single non exclusive game that Sony won't allow you to play with the Dualshock 4 will be playable with the Dualshock 4 (Or DS3 even) on PC.
I'd be fine with some games not supporting it. If a game is designed around the haptic feedback then it makes sense for it to only work with the new controller, same way 1-2 Switch isn't playable with the pro controller. But straight up disabling DS4 support instead of leaving it up to devs is shitty.

Except for Kinect where millions of people who bought an Xbox One day one at a $100 premium will have no compatibility.
Brad forgot that one in his Shill/Astroturf 101 class today

Series X is doing with XB1 controllers so I was hoping PS5 would do the same. Not a deal breaker in the slightest though.

Maybe lead your post with "site blocked here, can you please post all of the contents in the article" instead of being snarky. Or you could have read through this thread in which case your question was already it seems. You asked and I directed you. Lead better next time. Besides, it's etiquette NOT to post an entire article on a forum. This is why I ended my post with "more at the link"

I'm guessing no because the DualSense uses USB Type C instead of Micro USB. There might be an attachment for it in the future though.

I just asked a legitimate question I wasn't reading through 3 pages for an answer, just ignore it next time if you don't want to answer it.

I believe it has to do with their patents of being able to "create" playable areas of games, uploading/sharing it with friends to help you and or for demo purposes.
I'm curious as to why Sony changed the naming of their button.

Jeff, my friend... we don't even know if the next Mortal Kombat will be coming to PS5 at all.
