Thanks to some photographs taken by the cleaning staff of a well-known game editor, supposedly Ubisoft, we can better appreciate the front of the development kit of PS5 and also the new version of the remote DualShock, whose design does not seem to differ too much from the current one.
Once again we remember that in the case of the latest PlayStation there have been notable differences between the final appearance of the console and its development kit.
Unlike the PlayStation consoles, the controls that accompany their development kits usually have a design that is very close to the final version that accompanies each unit and will be sold separately. If we pay attention to the DualShock command that we see in the photographs, we should not expect great news with the new edition, at least in terms of exterior design. The peripheral seems more robust and the same buttons and touchpad remain on the front.
The design of the new DualShock also coincides with that presented by Sony at the Japanese Patent Office and the description offered by Wired, a medium that has been able to see the console in action. However, the Japanese company has already confirmed that its biggest news is inside, where a haptic feedback system is hidden. It will also feature USB-C, upgraded speakers, increased autonomy, and adaptive triggers (L2 and R2) with different programmable resistance levels.
The element that does not appear in the Sony patents or is not seen in the photos is the light bar. No more buttons are seen either, although an accessory was recently announced that adds two on the back to the current DualShock.
Finally and as expected, Sony has not shown the appearance of PlayStation 5 at CES, but it has taken advantage of the event that is held this week in Las Vegas to reveal the logo of the console and remember its main features.
The PlayStation 5 logo is exactly as expected, just like the PlayStation 4 logo, only the same font type is kept but only by changing the number. There are no surprises in the console details revealed either, as they had all been previously advanced by Sony. These include the use of 3D audio, haptic functions for the remote that will also have adaptive triggers, high-speed SSD storage, ray tracing support via hardware and Blu-Ray Ultra HD drive.
