Just watched an interview with a Bluepoint dev talking about the controller and how they've really tried to make the feedback as cool as they can. Metal on metal, shield bashes or when something really big clobbers you, you're really going to feel it.

I find Demon's Souls easier than any of the later Dark Souls games. It's still pretty tough but not if you're prepared to put in some work. I couldnt finish Sekiro, I just got stuck at one boss and couldn't do it. Lost patience with it.Looks insanely good. Shame I find it too difficult.

best chance is walk in in places like Supermarkets or Argos where there’s no reservations and try your luck.
Argos had reservations.
But yeah, you are going to have to try your luck on launch day and supermarkets are a good shout.

It's not just an unboxing, it's a Digital Foundry unboxing...

Damn, they make the DualSense sound like the best thing since sliced bread. I'm beginning to think that the controller may usurp the Xbox One controller as the best one ever made... can't wait to get my hands on it.
What a gen it should turn out to be with the SSD as well.

I was thinking about this earlier, nothing has really changed in controller tech since the start, same old rumble features. I'm glad Sony have decided to invest some time into the one thing you always hold when playing.

I’m surprised Microsoft haven’t added similar. I’m sure they’ll be thinking about it now. While I have always preferred the feel of the Xbox controller, the PS5 controller certainly has some neat features.

Chance to charge £300 for a new Elite Controller!
They’ve kept it the same for forwards and backwards compatibility. It’s really annoying that Microsoft don’t have motion controls for FPS games, as it’s horrible to play Overwatch and doom without them.
Your inner fan girl is showing.

Like you say I guess it's to maintain cross-gen, multiplatform compatibility but it's shocking how dated the MS Xbox controller looks compared to the Dualsense IMO.
Really disappointed Microsoft didn't make more of an effort with their controller design. I know I'll sound like a fan boy but that's the issue i have with series X. In Microsoft's rush to go all in on backwards compatibility and cross gen gaming they're beginning to look like they're not actually going to have any "next-gen" features or games!
Much prefer Sony's approach of making a relatively clean break between the PS4 and PS5 generations.

If the PS5 controller had the stick layout the same as the Xbox controller it'd be the perfect controller me thinks. Saying that, just put the dualsense internals in the Xbox controller and you have perfection? Once you go Xbox controller going back to dualshock is a shocking downgrade.
I've never understood the preference myself - The DS4 has been my favourite controller ever.
