Whatever your view on the new PS5 design, it's hard not to be impressed with this if it's true... apparently all the texture in the PS5, Dualsense, the camera and the headset is all X O □ ∆ symbols:
I am on the other boat with a lot of people. I am not impressed.
The controller has a number of nice elements including that texture but for me DESIGN was a focus over anything else.
- The digital version was designed first, the disc drive version defiantly looks like a "This is the design, how we put on a drive now?" and the design look suffers from that.
- There is likely to be a black version
- Lots of meme's of course but there is a growing nature of the lady's part's looks and the feminists are kicking up a fuss apparently. It is supposed to represent v for 5.
- I do not hate the look, I just think that as a designer I can see what they went for and wonder at what costs as a result. The XBox design is clean and I do personally like it better but outside of that I can see for form and function etc going in there.
I am not saying Sony has not put thought into their console but everything so far on the console, online, games etc all lead to it looking like they are resting on their success. Relying on their majority stake in player base this generation to cross over. If the price is crazy high that will just re-iterate (Which may have leaked out) that.
I think Microsoft have been building back up with nearly all the original heads on this generation gone, rebuilding, buying game companies, sorting out a lot of things and working towards not just a console but a gaming platform for their user base to get into.
