A leak via reddit has mentioned the advantages of the DualSense over the DualShock 4. Especially the battery life is said to be significantly better. However, one should take the leak with caution.
Where do the information come from? The leak comes from a reddit post. According to the post starter, the original post was deleted, but he shares the facts about the DualSense. To strengthen his credibility, he also uploaded a nearly 10-second video sequence of the DualSense.
How reliable is the information? The information presented here should be taken with caution, as they are not official. Also, the poster’s note that the hints do not come directly from him seems initially not very trustworthy.
First official gameplay of the DualSense was shown at the end of July: Here, the gaming journalist Geoff Keighley showcased the PS5 controller.
4 things that the DualSense is supposed to do better than the DualShock
- The DualSense controller is said to have 3 to 4 hours more battery life than the DualShock 4. This would double the battery life.
- The L2 and R2 triggers are more comfortable to grip, thanks to the new adaptive triggers. One developer praised the adaptive triggers.
- Additionally, the DualSense is said to be significantly more comfortable to hold and provide more comfort than the DualShock 4. The reason for this is the round, ergonomic shape of the DualSense.
- The touchpad is said to be much more responsive, while the D-Pad and main buttons are said to feel like the DualShock.
What the DualSense is not supposed to do: The leak also addresses a problem that the DualSense has compared to the DualShock 4: Due to the new light bar, which is much darker, the DualSense is no longer compatible with PlayStation VR (PSVR).
This could not be tested: According to the leak, neither the haptic feedback nor the built-in microphone in the DualSense could be tested. So we need to be patient a bit longer.
