We review the history of the PlayStation controls until we reach the Dual Sense, presented before the PlayStation 5 itself and in white.
One of the great news in recent days has been the presentation in society of the new PlayStation 5 controller, the Dual Sense, which, how could it be otherwise, has sparked reactions throughout the entire industry. News such as haptic technology or its microphone with more functions have been very well received, and in one of the most reputable studios among Sony's first parties, Naughty Dog, they have already talked about it.
"I am very excited about the new PlayStation 5 controller," said Robert Krekel, head of sound at Naughty Dog. "Many good opportunities integrating audio with haptic technology. I already tried it a while ago and the possibilities are fantastic."
Very stoked about the new controller for PS5. Lots of very cool opportunities integrating audio with haptic feedback. Got to play around with a prototype a long time ago and possibilities are very exciting. https://t.co/VdPsCkeuEG

Indeed, these are its two main novelties, but not the only ones. Another one that attracts the most attention is the replacement of the Share button of the Dual Shock 4 with Create, which presumably will give many more possibilities to content creators, professionals or not. The triggers will also offer new sensations, in addition to other features such as LED lights also on the sides or the change to the new standard for battery recharging, the USB type C.
The design of the console, in the coming months
And what about the console? Jim Ryan, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, wanted to thank the fans, in addition to summoning them to be attentive to the next times, when the final aspect of PlayStation 5 is revealed. "I want to thank the PlayStation community for sharing this Travel with us until the launch of PlayStation 5 in late 2020, "says Ryan, implicitly reiterating that Sony is confident that it will be on time for the scheduled date, despite all the difficulties stemming from the coronavirus crisis. "We look forward to sharing more information with you in the coming months, including the design of the console."
