Oh wow already?
They are reading this therad but they didn't bother reading my posts to realize that's not a top lightbar. The irony.
This will be in N4G in no time.

R2/L2 looks to be slightly off to the right and left respectively in the DS5, seems a bit more comfortable to reach imo. I didn't have a problem with that on PS4, but it may be easier to reach than the DS4. Also, wonder how the bigger hand grips feel compared to the DS4, Im not found of the thickness of the handgrips on the Xbox One and PS4 Nacon Pro controller, my hands are medium size and it feels cumbersome.
Maybe the overall changes make the DS5 more comfortable for everyone than the DS4 though. Offset triggers, wider handles etc.
Wish we weren't getting a TouchPad though.. all that juice being drained..

Plastica from this pic I think we can say safely it's touch pad and not a screen :
no screen folds backward and downward.and touch pad clicking distance is also there

Hmmm. Interesting. Like I said, I can't confirm the existence of touchscreen from those drawn projections. I wonder what that slit is then. I f there is no back lightbar, this won't be a top lightbar becasue it would be useless anyway.
My hands hurt like heck when I played BF5, so I hope these changes help with stuff like that.
Nex Machina also made my hands hurt.

It's the dot for the usb type c on the other face and it's dotted on this face to show it's location from face view
Same. I am happy to hear a larger controller. Sekiro nearly destroyed my wrist.
Yes it could be that. It's represented under the touchpad. I thought the USB port was directly under the curving of the hinge so it can't be represetend. Now that you mentioned it.That slit is neeitehr a lightbar nor a speaker or oemthing else. Just the representation of the USB port under it. Nice catch. So I am still not wrong. there is neither a top nor a back lightbar.
Still they have to explain why there is no lightbar in DS5 and how they gonna deal with important infos in games and especially games requiring PS Camera for tracking.
What are the chances of DS4 being 100% compatible with the PS5? I mean wireless, turning on the console, tunring off the console etc.
Probably there are sensors in it for vr so no need for lights for psvr2
Yeah. I read that a s an old possible leak some time ago in reddit.
Didn't they confirm that's DS4 and psvr are all fully compatible with ps5?
Very high chance of being usable, I think. Unlikely to have 100% feature set of DS5.
They did indeed. Which means both the DS4 and Move controllers will have to work.
Exactly and the camera .especially seeing that DS5 doesn't have light so for psvr BC DS4 needs to be used as the light is needed
And that's also a confirmation that PSVR2 will not use a shitty light-based tracking solution. I hope it's inside out tracking like the Oculus Quest uses.
Yea if this is DS5 , psvr2 doesn't use light for tracking but we already knew this from the psvr 2 patents

do you know why the touch pad would extrudes out of the top of controller instead of being flushed ?
the touch pad is flushed at the top of the DS4 controller

I think you're missing the point. It would work exactly as it does now for shortcuts . Like Witcher 3 for instance but instead of a blank piece of plastic, the shortcuts are labelled. You wouldn't have to look down more than you do now if you aren't inclined but devs might be more inclined to add shortcuts with this setup.
I know it would be functionally worse but I'd like a non back lit i-ink screen like a kindle.
Yeah I'm excited about the extra trigger feedback for racing games. I also really hope they tighten up the sensitivity. In GT Sport it fells like quite a narrow range of input in the middle has some range, at the beginning and end it's really spongy. You go from about 50% acceleration to 100% while you're still only squeezing it to about 70%. The last 30% movement is at max. Means I NEED to use traction control in GT Sport.
Cant believe Sony not only self censor Japanese games but they also made the DS5 wear a chastity belt.
I'm outraged.

Great, now you gave the internet ideas. I expect the internet to take off the chastity belt and lewd the DS5 to the fullest extent.

I mentioned this before, it might be because of how everything fits - literally just a logistical design
Could it be that it's a screen and u can't flush out a screen ? Cause touch pad could be ordered in any size they want . Not the case with a screen?
Better than Nintendo, where they used a see-through casing for the Pro Controller.
God, can you imagine the fanfics.

When I contacted a moderator about splitting the threads due to members requesting it, I was told that it would be best to have a single thread.
Goddamn it, lol
Separated would have been much better; this thread is getting bogged down by Scarlett tidbits when there's so much more PS5 news floating about.
Such a weird stance. Separate news, separate threads, except for this? There's way more information regarding one company than the other, it's better to separate them so that discussion can focus instead of being open to potential console-warring.
nah, i would rather it be kept in one thread.
There's a reason for having moderators, although I wish they step in more when things start to get ugly.

Potential? This thread vacillates between passive aggressive posts to full out warring. Seems separating things would be better for discussion
there is nothing stopping you from creating a thread about this new controller patent. new news, new thread. but a lot of what we discuss here is speculation that doesnt warrant new threads like this controller patent would. it would be silly to have two different threads dedicated to speculation just because adults cant learn to coexist.
if you cant handle a little console warring then perhaps video game forums are not for you. i've always found this notion of segregated threads a bit too incestuous. you end up creating this echo chamber where no criticism or dissenting opinion is allowed because you get drowned out by rabid fanboys. there is no control segment in those threads.
besides, we are pretty much in the end game now. in a month, maybe two months this thread wont be needed anymore because specs will be out and a speculation thread wont be needed anymore. let alone two speculation threads. we will likely have dedicated ps5 and scarlett launch threads after the reveals. just enjoy the final days. its been one hell of a ride.
Even the amount of information released is debated here. With some posters saying both have released the same and others saying otherwise.
While I came around to the one thread eventually I do think it's time to separate them again. Maybe we could have 2 threads(Sony & MS) that cover the next gen consoles and their software? The scope of this thread is all over the place anyway.
Samsung OLEDs do on their flagship phones. Well, sideways but that's neither here nor there.
Haha yea Sony will use a flexible oled priced at 2000$ for DS5 :D bye new Motorola razer also uses one and it looks great
I meant more the curved edge ones they've been using since the S6 lol

Sorry my friend for late reply. I was a little absent. :p
Tbh, I don't know the reason for that. It may be because the clicking mechanism on DS4 was not correctly designed and faulty, in fact many including myself got the trackpad stuck when clicking sometimes and you had to to click stronger to free it as if it was rusty. Maybe now by spacing it the clicking process should be looser and allow fluent clicking.
Or may be, there is still a touch screen and a clickable one so they had to le those parts overflow from the controller to allow more hardware junk under it (screen, hadrware, clciking mechanism etc...) . :p
Oh yea those ones are curved . Anyways no point to have screen on the back of the controller as you have to turn the controller up all the way towards you to see what's there :p
I thought about it in your absence haha. DS4 prototype also has a boxy touchpad if i remember correctly. This is DS5 prototype and not the final version which will be 90% similar to the final version

no it doesn't :
