I want to praise Sony for the replaceable sticks. It would have been better for them to be electromagnetic sticks, but I still commend them for a solution that does not require replacing the entire controller. Microsoft should consider electromagnetic sticks or something else that does not have stick drift with the Elite series 3. Even if it costs more than Sony's solution, I would consider it worth the money.
You make a good point. Liked.Don't particularly disagree, but its pricing is comparable to other solutions on the market. If Scuf can charge $200+ for a controller, why can't Sony et al?
There are already existing 3rd party options. Sony are offering a different option with a different balance of advantages and disadvantages, particularly replacing thumbsticks for $40 instead of needing another $200 controller* when those are worn out. I don't understand why Sony should leave it to 3rd parties, or be expected to create a cheaper option. If I'm in the market for a high-end controller on PS5, I can choose Scuf or Hexgaming or Megamodz or Sony. If DS Edge didn't exist, I'd have one less choice and none offering replaceable thumbsticks.
DS Edge is too rich for my blood, I'd prefer better battery life, and I expect Sony would sell many more with better battery life and a lower price. As a gamer, I'd like an elite controller sold at cost - heck gimme a free pack-in game or two as well! As a business move, a product to make profits, this seems a reasonable option for the console company. It feels a step backwards in terms of consumer focus from PS4's days, with Sony's generally pricing feeling to be heading upwards - this is a completely different value proposition to the fabulous DS4 paddle add-on - but if I don't like it I can always shop elsewhere, from controllers to platforms.
* Though ironically possibly needing a new $200 controller instead of a $10 battery replacement!
What's the actual cost to implement alternatives to physical pots?
Now I understand why Sony forbid DS4 compatibility on PS5 games except for remote play. Because people wanting back paddles on PS5 will have to fork out $200 instead of $30.

The whole situation is very frustrating to me.

I presumed this is because DualSense had hardware that DualShock 4 does not, including more sensitive gyros, touchpad, vastly different rumble and of course the triggers are different. Some games might work but plenty would not. DualShock 4 works fine for backwards compatibility games.

Hi-Fi Rush is a superb, wildly creative game and maybe even an early 2023 GOTY candidate. Oliver delivers the DF tech review, covering Xbox Series X/S and PC.
Hi-Fi Rush tech review: a visual treat indebted to comics and TV cartoons
DF's analysis of the Series X/S and PC versions.
Hi-Fi Rush is superb. Announced at Microsoft's Developer_Direct showcase last week and released immediately thereafter, the game is a wildly creative effort from developer Tango Gameworks. There are elements of action, platformer, rhythm and side-scroller games, all held together by an incredible sense of style and bold visual choices.
This is a wild, courageous game that succeeds on just about every level - and it's an eye-popping visual treat as well. It's also the first major first-party Microsoft title in over a year, ending a prolonged drought for exclusive Xbox software. Today, we'll be taking a look at Hi-Fi Rush's daring flair and beat-matching brawling action, and try to get a sense of what makes this game tick.

O ryou can use your normal Dual Sense
You can buy an entire retail joystick using Hall Sensors that is Bluetooth based and works with Switch, Android, PC, MacOS, and IOS. The article says it retails for $60, but Amazon was $70.
Maybe $1 to $10 for a dual stick setup for the tech license and sensors?
Hall Effect Joysticks - What Is It And Why Does It Matter
Since the components in a Hall Effect joystick never physically touch, the sensors do not wear out like they do on analog joysticks. This means that in theory, Hall Effect joysticks never develop drift in their lifetime. In other words, magnets, how do they work.
I did too, but eventually changed my mind. AFAIK all native PS5 games are playable using DS4 via remote play. You can also emulate DS4 natively on PS5 by deactivating triggers and haptic motors.

can attest to Alex conclusions mentioned in the video, no shader compilation issues at all. On my rig, the PC gamepass version runs at a locked? 165fps 1440p XeSS Balanced.
