A Limited Edition Destiny 2 DualShock 4 controller has been revealed for Europe, and will be releasing on 6th September. Unfortunately, it won’t be available in the UK, Poland or Russia. Also, new Jet Black PS4 Pro bundle has been revealed along-side the previously announced Glacier White bundle.
Sony has announced that PlayStation Now will be coming to PC, allowing your favourite PlayStation games to be played on a Windows PC for the first time. The service will launch in parts of Europe on 24th August 2016, followed by North America shortly after. In addition, Sony are releasing a DualShock 4 USB Wireless Adaptor to allow your existing controllers to be used on PC.
Following the recent leak of the PS4 “Slim” console, it has emerged that the DualShock 4 controller has also been updated, and will come with the new console. On first glance, the controller looks almost identical to the current version, but there is one important change: the lightbar colour now shows through the touchpad. This will be useful for games that use the lightbar to indicate life or other status.
Sony has announced that two new coloured DualShock 4 wireless controllers are launching in July for the PS4 in Europe. Crystal, Steel Black, Gold and Silver editions will all be available from 11th July, as part of a limited edition Crystal & Metallic range.
Sony have just announced the release date and price for PlayStation VR. The device will be available this October, and will cost £349 / $399 / €399 – making it $200 cheaper than the Oculus Rift. The device will also require a PS4, DualShock 4 controller and PlayStation Camera, but all that is still cheaper than a high-end PC.
To celebrate 20 years of PlayStation in Europe, we’ve created a very special 20th Anniversary Edition of the Dualshock 4 Wireless Controller. Launching September across Europe, this limited edition controller is sports the “Original Grey” colour like the first PlayStation console and also features the iconic original coloured PlayStation family logo.
Porting MediaMolecule’s Tearaway to another console would have been impossible due to the specific nature of the controls on the PS Vita. However, the DualShock 4 offers the closest set of controls for the game, which is why a modified version of the game is coming to the PS4 next year. Tearaway Unfolded in a expanded version of the original game, adapted for the PS4 and rebuilt from the ground up to use the unique features of the DualShock 4.
While the PS4’s DualShock 4 has been compatible with the PS3 since launch, it only worked using the USB cable. However, a Reddit has discovered that a recent update now allows the controller to be used wirelessly, though not all functionality is available. You can pair the DualShock 4 as a generic bluetooth input device, which means the PS button, vibration and sixaxis detection do not work.
Sony recently added the ability to dim the DualShock 4’s lightbar in Firmware v1.70, but you cannot turn it off completely. The reason for this was unknown, until now that is. Speaking to TechRadar, SCEE Senior Designer Jed Ashforth revealed that the controller’s lightbar is required for Project Morpheus.
