Man, that GB praise is something to really note.
Honestly, I'm glad that Sony invested their R&D budget on a next-gen controller than beefier system specs.

Yeah its def a key differentiator, Between that, Audio and looking at the Speed seems like it was a good choice for them. Sounds just super balanced.
My immediate thought. I feel like Jeff hates everything and if he's impressed, well shit
From what I remember from the Cerny presentation, these features are made easy for developers to implement. I don't think Sony would have included these features unless it was easy for developers to use--that has been Sony's MO since the PS4 (i.e. "time to triangle").
They call that a "massive competitive advantage". Good to hear that. Considering both platforms will be very similar in resolution and fps, it seems to be another reason to go PS5 on top of exclusives and sound.
Man I would love to see Astro become a big franchise. Imagine a mascot game where you play as Asto, Toro and Kuro, Sackboy and the monkey from Ape Escape similiar to Mario.
It is so charming!

Hope more then just first party will use feedback of the controller. Joycons have HD Rumble but that's not really used besides a couple of games.
wow, now I'm interested in what they did. Somebody PM me.
Anyway, the controller impressions as aspected are going to make it harder for me to choose what platform to play my games on.
I can just imagine the feeling of ice-skating and how the dual-sense would vibrate, and it sounds like the impressions are just what i thought. I wonder what games like Ratchet and DeS will make it feel like. Definitly a feature that's exclusive sounding to the PS experience but i wonder how well third parties will use it, of course with Sony games you won't escape it so maybe with time more devs are convinced of using it.
Around 7:55, the transition from level 1 to 2, nice.
Damn, why did I have to be at work today....
I have a great PC that will handle RT better than the new consoles but stuff like this and honestly the SSD of the PS5 being even better than one I have in that PC still make console gaming exciting to me.
Wow, I was fully expecting people (that got hands on access to PS5) to be super harsh on the controller and skeptical of the features etc. Really hoping it catches on with developers and becomes ubiquitous among 1st and 3rd party games.
Can't wait. I knew this team would come up with some great stuff for the Dual Sense. And I'm going to go full blackout media mode to not spoil more. Just over 2 weeks left!
As long as the next full fledged game (i.e. a sequel to Rescue Mission) is not exclusive to VR, it absolutely can become a big franchise.
Really happy Sony going the route of attempting to provide a true generational leap both in controller and UI interface. Regarding the controller, the postive experience of it will most likely be doubled in a VR setting, increasing the immersion.
Hopefully both. The VR game is mind blowing but I do want Astro to become bigger so hopefully both.
Yea, all the talk about specs really does leave space for the PS5 to be the more "all around" system.
Hopefully Sony has a robust library for developers to easily implement more DualSense features.
Seriously. I stopped listening to GB and switched to Beast Cast b/c I felt Jeff was increasingly grump about jaded gaming.
Sony should put, "Jeff Gerstmann from Giant Bomb Approved!" on the side of the Dual Sense box.

Going to reiterate that the Giantbomb impressions have me hyped through the fucking roof! Goddamn November 12th can't get here soon enough!
Just checked my Amazon order for the dualsense controller and charging station I ordered and it still says date pending 😔

Yeah. I just hope it isn't too long before Sony actually tells us what their VR strategy is for PS5.
I am thinking in a year or so. I remember them saying they are going to talk about VR after release so hopefully early on.
You know what that's fair.
If you can bring over a consistent grump you might actually have something.
The more simple explanation would be they just watched Wall-E.
Interested in trying the controller, but keeping my expectations in check.
This actually sounds so fun haha. I can't wait to try this controller.
The pessimist (and former heavy-Kinect user) in me is worried this will be a gimmick in a few years, but I really hope not. Hopefully Sony pushes for these features to be utilized in third party games, otherwise it will be exactly like the touchpad on the DS4.

I'll need to wait to see how it is in my hands. If it's one of those features that journalists rave about, but then isn't much of a difference in real life, though I did love when phones added haptics.
They did, my launch controller sticks wore off pretty fast, but any controller I bought later have all lasted through the generation.
I think the only good part of astro bot was the VR, the platforming was really boring.
On one hand, I think it would be like Half like atlyx without VR, but maybe a VR-less versión would focus more on level design.
I Went Hands On With The PS5!!!

These guys are gushing over it too, saying it's so good they feel that MS actually have to respond to it somehow with their own sensed up game pad
Astro Atreus doesn't look like Atreus at all, but it's still cute & adorable, lol.
Gosh, this takes me back to when people hyped up the Switch HD rumble as much as they did pre-launch.
