Features of the New Controller Next-Gen VR on PS5

This ongoing online era has its fair share of pros and cons, the cons being that it increases laziness and lack of productivity, but the pros being unlimited entertainment, gaming, as well as online learning of a new skill. Either the way, it depends from person to person, where each is entitled to his/her opinion. The shutting down of our offices, institutes, casinos, arcades, and restaurants came as heart-wrenching news. During this era of sadness, the online world came to the rescue, with alternative methods of all these activities. With that, we switched to working from home, e-learning, online gambling, online gaming, and ordering food at home. For gamers, however, there was another thrilling news, the launch of the new PlayStation device. 

PlayStation 5 – What is The Thrill About?

The PlayStation series has been a hit since the start. A gaming brand that first launched back in 1994, it took over the world like wildfire. The mass success on the first part eventually led to a release of PlayStation 2 in 2000, which, even after 20 years, remains the best-selling console gaming device. Then, the third version, PlayStation 3 launched in 2006, again, being a huge success. However, when PlayStation 4 released in 2013, it broke records after having sold a million units in just a day, and thus, making history as per being the fastest-selling console device. 

The latest release in the series happens to be PlayStation 5, which although launched back in November of 2020, but the hype is increasing just every day. It not only comes with an extra sleek look, completely different from all its previous models but also promises next-generation virtual reality consoles in the upcoming VR device set. However, the current one also supports a 4K resolution, hence making the gaming experience appealing and realistic. Perhaps the biggest upgrade is the DualSense consoles themselves, which come with enhanced speed and storage, giving a boost to the overall performance.

The Next-Gen VR Features

When the announcement of the new model came around, there was one special thing that sent the fans in frenzy; the next-gen PlayStation VR device and its epic controllers, which are yet to be released. Initially, Sony announced the VR set to launch in 2021, but according to resources, it is delayed till the next year. Even so, they have revealed its design and the mind-blowing features it will include, such as:

1. New Shape – The controller comes with a unique shape, an ‘orb’, designed in a manner that people of all hand sizes can comfortably hold. So far, we have witnessed sticks as VR controllers, which is why this shape really stands out. 
2. Tracking Ring – The VR headset will track these controllers using a tracking ring, situated at the bottom of each pair. 
3. Hand Detection – Touchpads on the controllers will sense the placement of our fingers and thumb, as we control the adaptive triggers of the L2 and R2 key, making the playing more natural and detecting all of our gestures. 
4. Buttons and Trigger – As with the DualSense controllers, these too, come with the triangle and square buttons and a trigger, all for making the gaming sensational and impactful. 
5. Haptic Feedback – To give a more realistic feel during any gaming mode, the controller has haptic feedback that will vibrate the device, ensuring the users feel every texture. 
6. A Dramatic Headset – The information on the VR headset is quite minimal, as of yet. All Sony has revealed so far is that it will be highly interactive, and will provide a VR experience like never before. 

The PS5 VR Games Announced

Although a lot of new games and updated versions of the old series will be making their way to PS5, not all of them will be compatible with the PS5 VR device. This is why, Sony recently announced these six titles below, which will release this year so the VR fans have something to anticipate as well:

• After the Fall – Fans will now save mankind and explore the dying civilization in a new realistic experience. 
• Doom 3: VR edition – Unlike the original Doom series, the VR version takes players through an interactive exhibit, just as in a museum.
• Fracked – One can only imagine the thrill of experiencing gunfire, climbing, and skiing through mountains in a VR headset. 
• I Expect You To Die 2 – Going on missions as an undercover agent is sure to get more appealing when one can experience it all in a simulation. 
• Zenith: The Last City – What would make a fight between Gods who are saving the world from catastrophes, more intense? The fights being in VR. 
• Song in the Smoke – An adventurous survival from the hungry beasts in the dark forest promises to become highly interactive and intense in the VR version.
