I don’t think they’re talked about enough.
Sony has really displayed a level of innovation generation after generation.
The adaptive triggers can be somewhat of a nuisance in MP FPS titles during longer sessions but they can be switched off. They really do shine in those single player experiences or racing games from Dirt 5 to GT7.
It feels strange whenever I pick up my Xbox controller now. Whilst I find the asymmetrical layout more comfortable, the Dualsense just feels more premium and robust whilst also providing more feedback to the player.
I remember when they announced the touch pad on the DS4, it was met with skepticism, same with the speaker and initially the triggers of the Dualsense with naysayers worried about the longevity. I’ve had four Dualsense and never had a single issue. I hope they continue to build on the Dualsense/shock platform.
One thing I would like to see is better LE controllers.
I have the Ragnarok one and it’s…alright, but they can definitely do more in that regard. The Sea of Thieves controller on Xbox is incredible, as is the Forza Horizon 5 edition.
