RE: PlayStation 5 - Moonface - Jul 30th, 2022 If I hadn't downloaded it by mistake at PAX I likely wouldn't know about it or have the app either. The only reason I really kept it was because it could receive captures from your consoles so you don't have to upload or transfer them directly from the console. I wish Sony would add more sharing options besides just Twitter. RE: PlayStation 5 - Dragon Lord - Jul 30th, 2022 Hmm, I might have to consider downloading it after all then, because I do like to share screenshots with some friends, but it's annoying to have to go into the settings on the console and upload them to Twitter there. Might actually be nice to just take the screenshot and open up an app on my phone and share it right away . RE: PlayStation 5 - Moonface - Jul 30th, 2022 Yeah, the app is supposed to give access to all your photo and video captures, but despite me having all the settings enabled for it, nothing has shown up on it once for me. The workaround would be to upload it to Twitter, save it on there, and then delete the post, but that's a pain.

Captures are only uploaded at the moment of creation, so if you have captures from before you enabled uploading to the PS App there doesn't seem to be a way to re-upload them. The same is likely the case with re-uploading a capture that has expired in the PS App, since they only stay in there for 14 days. Sony should really allow captures to be re-uploaded.

What games did you get with it? RE: PlayStation 5 - Moonface - Aug 23rd, 2022 DualSense Edge Controller Revealed During Gamescom Opening Night Live, the DualSense Edge wireless controller for PlayStation 5 was unveiled; the first-ever high-performance, ultra-customizable controller developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Designed to give you an edge in gameplay by allowing you to create custom controls, the DualSense Edge wireless controller invites you to craft your own unique gaming experience tailored to your playstyle. The DualSense Edge wireless controller features a number of hardware and software-based customization options for creating a completely personalized controller experience, including:
RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Mr EliteL - Aug 24th, 2022 Guess it's not bad, well obviously not, but I'm mostly "meh" about it other than the replaceable stick and changeable cap/back buttons although I probably wouldn't change anything, unless I find something to be better than the other if I bother to try different ones. Not sure if I'll get one, maybe. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Moonface - Aug 25th, 2022 Yeah, I doubt I'll ever get one of them since I expect the price to be double of a regular DualSense with a ton of features I don't have enough use for to pay for. Seems more tailored to competitive players and such. I mostly like it because of the extra areas of black and the PS symbol patterns on some areas. Also EL, probably a good thing you grabbed your PS5 when you did since Sony announced a price increase in multiple markets today: https://blog.playstation.com/2022/08/25/ps5-price-to-increase-in-select-markets-due-to-global-economic-environment-including-high-inflation-rates/ Sony said it was a 20% increase in all affected regions, but I don't really know how to accurately calculate that since such an increase is going to depend on the currency, rather than just a straight up 20% increase, as you can see by comparing some of the old and new prices:
It's probably too late in the life cycle of the Switch for Nintendo to follow suit at all, but I wonder if Microsoft will do anything like this for the Series S|X or leave the prices alone. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Mr EliteL - Aug 26th, 2022 Yeah glad I got mine in time before this increase. I'd have been disappointed if I did miss out on the original price tag. Yeah it's just £30 but that's like half a game, kinda. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Moonface - Aug 26th, 2022 (Aug 26th, 2022, 11:21 PM)Mr EliteL Wrote:Good point. Microsoft have stated they do not intend to increase any pricing in response to this move by Sony. I'm not surprised; their bread and butter is subscriptions to their ecosystem so if they are making any slight losses on their consoles in certain regions because of inflation they're probably making it back elsewhere. I did like the one take I saw on the PS Blog that pointed out if these markets were very strong against the dollar we wouldn't see price decreases. XD Oh, there's also a free online play weekend this weekend. I assume it's worldwide and I'm probably the only one here who could get any use out of it since I lack an active subscription. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Mr EliteL - Aug 27th, 2022 Ah that play online for free like you have PS+ this weekend is happening for UK too. Shame I don't have any real desire to play, if only it was a different weekend maybe. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Moonface - Aug 28th, 2022 (Aug 27th, 2022, 11:04 PM)Mr EliteL Wrote:Well remember I have a UK PSN, so the alert I got about the free weekend was a UK alert but I figured it would be worldwide otherwise it's pretty pointless if you wanted to play with a friend outside the country for free for a weekend. XD Also I didn't realize until today that the colored DualSense controllers cost $5 more than a regular one. It's not much but when they're already asking $70 it feels a bit of a piss take to ask for $5 more because it isn't white or black. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - Dragon Lord - Aug 28th, 2022 As someone who owns the blue and purple DualSense controllers, 100% worth the extra $5. Also I like what I see with the Edge controller. It's nice seeing Sony make an official customizable DualSense controller instead of having to pay $200+ to trust a sussy third-party. Hopefully Sony will have enough sense (heh) to keep the controller a lower price point than the third-party ones, but we'll see. If the price isn't too absurd, I'll probably pick one up. RE: PlayStation 5 | DualSense Edge Revealed - ShiraNoMai - Aug 28th, 2022 I doubt they'll mark it up that much. The Xbox Elite Series 2 controller is only $179 MSRP and functionally has all the same customizables. |
