A forthcoming PS5 controller, set for release this year, has sparked disagreement among PlayStation enthusiasts. In contrast to previous generations, Sony took a surprising turn away from the DualShock series, which it had been refining since the PS1. Instead, they introduced the DualSense controller. While initial reactions were skeptical, many PlayStation players have grown to admire the DualSense over time. However, the latest model has generated a different response.
In July, Sony unveiled a special edition console and controller for the upcoming game “Ghost of Yotei”. Now, pre-orders start this week on September 4th. For those who may be unfamiliar, “Ghost of Yotei” is the sequel to 2020’s “Ghost of Tsushima”, set to release on PS5 and PS5 Pro on October 2nd. It is one of the highly anticipated exclusive games for PlayStation, which explains why it’s getting a special edition console and controller. However, PlayStation enthusiasts are curious about the designs, particularly that of the controller.
“Not For Me”
On Reddit, a post has been made announcing that pre-orders will be available starting from September 4th. The majority of comments seem to revolve around the design of the new controller and console. It appears that many users are not favorable towards both, yet there seems to be particular disdain for the new controller design in particular.
The top-rated comment in the post goes like this: “It seems these limited edition controllers might not be my cup of tea, as I find many of them quite unattractive.” He then adds, “I can’t fathom their appeal. Interestingly enough, several PS5 color variants appear quite appealing though.
Another reply about the controller reads: “It looks like someone smeared s*** on the controller.”
It’s important to mention that while many responses are negative, there are also some positive ones, but they aren’t as frequent as the negative ones.
I quite enjoy this particular design and would love to have it, but even if I can’t, I won’t be too upset.”
“This design is among the few I appreciate, and I’d prefer to get one, but if that doesn’t work out, I can still manage.
For individuals who support that perspective and are keen on the controller, they have two options: they can acquire it as part of a larger package or buy it separately for $84.99. However, please note that pre-orders won’t be available until September 4. If you urgently need a new controller, this might not be the best choice since the controller won’t be dispatched until the game ships in October.
After considering all points, please don’t hesitate to express your thoughts. Are you planning on purchasing the exclusive PS5 controller?
