It cost £70 so it had better be AAA
I agree though looks like a unity job someone coded in their bedroom rather than a Sony first party title!

except it's made in UE4

Sony doesn't own Gearbox

I said it "reminds me" I didn't say it was made in Unity. This was more attributing to it's overly generic and amateurish look.

you then added an edit 'apparently it is' without being clear as to what that applied to

Oh yeah my bad, I meant AAA, I did see it said made in UE4 too. So I decided to be lazy and clearly confuse everyone. /slaponwrist
On that note, I do feel as I get older it takes a lot more to impress me when it comes to games. I've played so many 'ok' games but not many that I really consider I really enjoyed.

Ah, ok. I didn't realise it wasnt a Sony first party title!
Still looks utterly uninspired though regardless of who made it!

Seems Sony is throwing its weight around again. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/...cancel-orders-following-a-complaint-from-sony
That means no third-party faceplates are allowed since they own the design patent.

The new Playstation mobile app is pretty good. Much slicker than the old one!

That plastic worm gear adaptive trigger thing won't five minutes with my big mitts

Yet another tear down that literally tears the controller apart.
This one, the guy actually knows what he's doing, and doesn't break the controller.
Worm drives are perfect for this actually, they have a large reduction ratio, the worm gear (the black round gear) has 26 teeth by the looks of it so it's probably a 26:1 reduction ratio. Which means they can take much higher torque. The electric motor driving it will be high speed/low torque so this is needed to reduce the speed and increase the torque. Guess what else uses worm drives for high torque applications? Winches.
It'll be fine

are winches gearing all plastic? You got people who won't exactly be gentle with these things
I'll give in 6 months before a revision comes out.

No but then winches are made to take 1000kg loads. No-one's finger can make that much pressure
Plastic is fine too, see the videos of people making stuff out of lego worm drives.
3.1kg force on 1:1 ratio, and 13kg on a plastic 24:1 gear. If your index finger alone can generate 13kg of pinch force, then go you!
The point I'm trying to make is that this is exactly what a worm drive is designed for, to be able to take high torque loads.
Yes, if you were an idiot and put your bodyweight into the trigger when it was locked out, you'd probably strip something (or more than likely trigger a release for the motor to turn off). But that's like saying the controller can't take being run over by a car - both things outside it's intended use.

Sooooo how are you so knowledgeable on this then @TallPaul_S ? You're going to tell me you're an engineer of sorts no doubt.

Haha no - I just like to know how stuff works. All the information is out there really, same with the voice coil actuators they're using.
I work in IT so have to have an understanding of how things work together in that respect, and the way I understand things is to look at the mechanics behind them. So, naturally, in this time of limited information on the PS5, I was intrigued to see how the triggers and the haptics work.

I like the worm gear setup but wish the weak parts were metal.
The simple turning of the stick assembly sounds like it will solve the L3/R3 stick click breaking issue so that's a good start. Had so many pads fail due to this. Also had stick drift on many but this is an easy fix if you swap out the discs in the stick assembly.
