Sony har i dag løftet sløret for næste generation af sin VR-controller til PlayStation 5. Den kugle-formede controller "vil ændre måde, hvorpå VR-spil opleves", siger selskabet.
VR-controller til PS5
Sony bekræftede for nylig, at der udvikles et nyt VR-system til PS5. I dag løftede selskabet så sløret for en ny VR-controller til PS5, som implementerer teknologi fra bl.a. PS5s DualSense-controller.
- "Following the recent reveal of our next-generation virtual reality system for PS5, I’m excited to unveil more details about the new controller that will play a critical role in providing gamers with the VR experience we’re working to deliver. Our new VR controller speaks to our mission of achieving a much deeper sense of presence and stronger feeling of immersion in VR experiences. It will build upon the innovation we introduced with the DualSense wireless controller, which changed how games “feel” on PS5 by unlocking a new way to tap into the sense of touch. Now we’re bringing that innovation to VR gaming," sagde Hideaki Nishino, SVP of Platform Planning & Management, Sony PlayStation.
Næste generations VR-controller til PS5
Selskabet forklarer, at den nye kugleformede VR-controller er skabt med udgangspunkt i, at brugeren skal kunne mærke og interagere med spil på en mere virkelig måde. De primære nyheder fremgår af tabellen nederst.
Mens Sony fortsætter ned af VR-stien, så gentog Microsoft tidligere på ugen, at "VR til konsol ikke er et fokusområde for os på nuværende tidspunkt" (via The Verge) efter brugere fandt referencer til VR i Xbox-brugerfladen.
Sony proklamerer, at det nye VR-system til PS5 vil være et kæmpe skridt fremad ift. det nuværende PS VR-system til PS4.
- "SIE’s Product, Engineering, and Design teams have collaborated to build our new VR controller from the ground up with a goal of making a huge leap from current-gen VR gaming. We’re thrilled with the controller we developed, but what matters now is how game creators will take advantage of the features to design the next generation of VR experiences. Prototypes of our new VR controller will be in the hands of the development community soon, and we can’t wait to see what ideas they come up with and how the controller helps bring their imagination to life!"
Det nye VR-system til PS5 vil ikke blive lanceret i 2021, lød det fra Sony i sidste måned.
Next-gen VR-controller til PS5
Med Sonys egne ord:
Adaptive triggers: Each VR controller (Left and Right) includes an adaptive trigger button that adds palpable tension when pressed, similar to what’s found in the DualSense controller. If you’ve played a PS5 game, you’ll be familiar with the tension in the L2 or R2 buttons when you press them, such as when you’re drawing your bow to fire an arrow. When you take that kind of mechanic and apply it to VR, the experience is amplified to the next level.
Haptic feedback: The new controller will have haptic feedback optimized for its form factor, making every sensation in the game world more impactful, textured and nuanced. When you’re traversing through rocky desert or trading blows in melee combat, you’ll feel the difference, magnifying the extraordinary visual and audio experience that’s so central to VR.
Finger touch detection: The controller can detect your fingers without any pressing in the areas where you place your thumb, index, or middle fingers. This enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay.
Tracking: The VR controller is tracked by the new VR headset through a tracking ring across the bottom of the controller.
Action buttons / analog sticks: The Left controller contains one analog stick, the triangle and square buttons, a “grip” button (L1), trigger button (L2) and Create button. The Right controller contains one analog stick, the cross and circle buttons, a “grip” button (R1), trigger button (R2) and Options button. The “grip” button can be used to pick up in-game objects, as one example.
