Something I'd like them to clarify is what happens when Playstation 6 comes out. Will users be able to use their PS5 controllers, including the accessibility controllers, or will they be forced to buy it all over again?
Their track record is horrible in that sense. You can use PS4 controllers on PS5 but not for PS5 games, so they don't even have the "technical reasons" excuse.
- blincoln 3y agoI would assume that this is completely PS5-specific. I've really liked the overall PlayStation experience ever since the PS2, but I think part of the reason everything works so smoothly is that every generation is a pretty strict walled garden.[1] Not having a compatibility layer to upconvert PS4 controller input to mimic a PS5 controller removes a whole branch of code, testing/user troubleshooting steps/bug fixing, and complexity. I'm genuinely surprised that Sony built and released an accessible controller at all. This feels like a huge step for them. So while it might be frustrating to imagine having to upgrade when the PS6 comes out in the distant future, it's still a net positive IMO. [1] I'm still a little grumpy that I couldn't use the PS3 media remote with the PS4 or later, because it worked better than the ones that came after.
