On his official blog, Sony shares a first video advertisement for its future console PlayStation 5.
“In our first global advertisement for the PS5 console, you’ll see all of its new features come to life through the eyes of a young woman and her movements. It all begins as she crosses a frozen lake and feels the ice cracking under her feet. The character, on the prowl for danger, is surprised by the shocking revelation of a kraken emerging from the icy surface and demonstrating the haptic responsiveness you can experience with the DualSense wireless controller for the PS5 console ”, said writes Mary Yee, vice president of global marketing at Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE).
Developers tout the PlayStation 5
Several creators in the industry have taken a stand regarding the development of new games on PlayStation 5. For example, Brian Horton, Creative Director at Insomniac Games tells us that DualSense technology will be used to indicate where attacks are being carried out in. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales thanks to haptic responsiveness.
Mathijs de Jonge, creative director of the game Horizon Forbidden West, believes that the DualSense controller will increase the enjoyment of using different weapons. Same story with Gavin Moore, creative director for SIE Japan Studio who works on the remake of Demon’s Souls. DualSense technology can be used to transform something as mundane as pulling a lever into a sensory experience. Something impossible with the sole use of a vibration function with the DualShock controller.
For Keith Lee, CEO of the Counterplay Games studio which works on Godfall, the idea of really feeling which weapon is being used without having to refer to a user interface (UI) is huge. Ditto for feeling where the different enemies are on the map without them being in our angle of view. For Kazunori Yamauchi, president of Polyphony Digital, the DualSense controller allows an even greater realism in the racing simulation Gran Turismo 7. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) is recreated according to the pressure exerted on the “pedal”, or the trigger of the lever. Thus, the player will be able to properly gauge and understand the braking force of his car in relation to the grip of the tires.
