But after the big success the Sony audience starts now to be impatient. Infact, even though the name of the new console wasn’t official yet, even if for many it was sure, in the last months between the main searches of Google there was, right, the Playstation 5.

After months of rumors and indiscretions Sony could just, so, released some official declaration, by announcing that the successor of one of the best made console will arrive in about one year. And so here you have what we know until now.

The controller of the Playstation 5

Between the official news there are the ones about the controller of the next Sony’s console. The Playstation 5, infact, will have as main purpose the one to make much more deep the game experience, especially under the tactile point of view.

The new controller will give up the old vibration, that for years followed our game’s sessions, by allowing us to immerse ourselves on it even under the tactile point of view. It will now be, instead, equipped with a haptic feedback, which will give to our hands close to the controller many different feelings.

It won’t be, so, only one feedback, but many different feedbacks according to the condition, by allowing us to understand the difference, for example, if our character is walking in the mud or inside the tall grass.

A big revolution of the new controller will be even under the point of view of the triggers. They are, infact, studied to let transmit us many different feelings too, by putting, for example, more strenght if we have to run a rope to archery.
