The news of a new system for VR gaming on PlayStation 5 were confirmed a few hours ago from the presentation of new controllers designed for this game mode. From the pages of PlayStation Blog, Hideaki Nihino, vice president of the Platform Planning & Management section, talked about the characteristics of a new prototype that combines a design suitable for virtual reality gaming with some features of DualSense.
In particular the controller (whose shape has been studied to obtain balance and ergonomics) will inherit adaptive triggers and haptic feedback from DualSense, workhorses of the controller and protagonists of the PlayStation 5 marketing campaign, in addition to the rest of the keys that we can find on a "canonical" controller (L1 and L2 - on the left controller - and analog stick, cross, circle and R1-R2 on the right one).
The controllers will also have a tactile detection system of the player's fingers, in order to favor a firm grip on the part of the player during the eventful gaming sessions, and a compatibility system with the VR viewer.
As mentioned, it is a prototype, which it will soon go into the hands of the developers, therefore, the first announcements on games that adopt them could tend to arrive at the end of the year, or at the beginning of 2022.
The meeting between features of DualSense and VR it looks very promising, and at this point we can only wait with curiosity for new developments which, according to the press release, will arrive in the coming months.
