Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “This Controller is a Game Changer”.
How’S it going Dan, the PlayStation 5 Access Controller is coming out in December, so cool. This is actually super hyped about this uh, it’s launching globally on December 6th. The controller is highly customizable, comes with multiple styles of buttons and joystick caps, and can be programmed with up to 30 control profiles. The button layout is fully customizable and the buttons can be disabled to stop accidental presses. If you happen to have a condition that would make that likely, the suggested retail price is 90, which is 20 dollars more than a standard first party PlayStation 5 controller, but forty dollars less than the Xbox adaptive controller, which has been the standard and accessible controller. Since it launched five years ago, it is also super cool just to give them a shout out too. They did this first yep, I’m very very happy that this one exists, I’m really hoping it’s PC compatible as well.
I also really like that. It’S quite different than the Adaptive controller yeah, that’s super cool as we move towards a future where more and more games are multi-platform anyway. If the difference in accessibility, controller designs means that we can actually hit a wider variety of Gamers. Overall, that’s that’s awesome. 100. Exactly I, this is great.
I also think that there’s a lot of opportunity here for um for people that that don’t technically need the functionality of a different controller, but could find cool ways to use it yeah, it’s a very interestingly designed controller. I could absolutely see people using this uh for, like video, editing, applications, sure tons of different things, and it’s I I’ve heard some people being like. Oh, I wish people didn’t buy it for that, because so there’s more availability for the people that need it.
No, you want people to buy it for that, because then they make more and they keep investing in the platforms. So it’s good yeah, it’s very good. This is very exciting.
The more people buy it, the the quicker they’re able to amortize their tooling costs. That’S a good thing, someone someone in Philippine chat says nothing says the PlayStation controller is PC compatible yeah. I don’t know if it’s out yet uh, it’s PlayStation. I would kind of expect it to be eventually, maybe not on launch.
Maybe they’ll make figure it out later down the line or something I don’t know, but um PlayStation and Sony do seem to be embracing PC stuff a lot more lately. So I would be personally pretty surprised if it was if it didn’t become compatible or if it wasn’t compatible from the start. Speaking of uh Playstation exclusives, are you gon na play Final Fantasy 16 on Playstation no you’re gon na wait for PC, absolutely yeah me too.
I’M not buying a PlayStation for that. I heard it’s really good David said he literally cried more playing that game than any other piece of media he’s ever consumed. You know when it’s also going to be released the whole thing and then started playing it again immediately.
Whoa yeah that’s and like yeah for a single player game yeah, I’m like for like a long one too yeah. I I’m I’m tempted. It will still be good when it comes out on PC yeah. Also, you could probably just borrow one from work.
I know. That’S! That’S the principle of the thing yeah. If I don’t think it’s like worth buying a console over, I’m not gon na yeah you’d, also like how do you feel about PlayStation controllers, I I just we just talked them up on their on their new controller. No, I apologize very happy you’re doing okay in general. No, but the Dual sense is actually excellent. I just can’t my hands can’t handle how much time have you spent with a dual sense? It’S bigger! It’S more ergonomic! Oh wait! What I thought they’re all called dual sets: no, no, no dual shock: oh zero minutes, probably okay! No dual sense is excellent. The ergonomics are a lot better.
The old PlayStation controllers I I would rather use a Duke like I can’t. No, the old ones are terrible. Yeah and anyone who says they’re not terrible, is a fanboy, I’m sorry, I’ve never understood the draw other than just obviously, obviously, I’m being combative, just yeah yeah if everyone’s hands are shaped a little bit differently. It’S okay! If you actually do like the dual shock, but the Dual sense is markedly better okay, cool yeah cool but yeah anyways. I am stoked that they made this controller a lot of the features of it. Look absolutely fantastic, very happy they’re entering the space having some amount of competition is super cool uh having it not just be Microsoft as much as Microsoft did a fantastic job with their accessibility controller.
Having there be, some options is great if you’re a PlayStation specific gamer, but you have a really hard time with controllers. Now, having this option is fantastic, I hope they bring it to PC. It’S just very cool that um people that need to have more options. I think that’s great, I don’t think there’s anything bad to say about it. Really.
