On PS5, you will find an updated version of the game that uses GamePad. This allows you to control the camera, and the game, using your hand or gamepad.
This is a new feature, as opposed to GamePad on PC. The main reason for this is that the PS4 has a lower resolution than the Xbox One, so the game will run a little bit smoother and look better on your TV, but if you’re using GamePad, then you’ll be able to use your gamepad to move around on the screen.
The gamepad is also a really fun feature to have. A lot of times in the past, Ive used the gamepad to do some of the things I normally wouldn’t, like pull up a menu and play some of the game. I find it to be a lot of fun to use, and I cant wait to see when it comes to PS5.
While the gamepad doesn’t make it into the new PS5, the game itself will be a lot easier to use compared to the Xbox One. The game works with both the gamepad and the Dualshock 3 controller. The game also has a better UI compared to the Xbox One, which is a big plus.
Personally, I think the gamepad makes it easier for me to just play something like DDO or the likes of Paus. I also think it makes it easier for me to switch between games and check on friends on the go. I will say that the gamepad does make it harder to get control of a few of the gamepad buttons without accidentally pressing them. For example, I do find myself accidentally pressing left and right to jump.
Not that it makes it hard to get control of those buttons, but it does change the feel of the game. I’m a big fan of the Xbox One gamepad, so I really like the new design, but the Xbox controller is still the current standard for gaming, so it’s hard to deny the design changes. It’s also a shame that Sony’s choice of “new” is “retro.
But if I have to pick just one design change, I would say the gamepad switch is one of the biggest. The other is the way the buttons and controls are laid out. There are now two directions of motion control, which makes the gamepad feel like it’s moving a little more slowly when you’re aiming. There is also less space for all the buttons, so it makes it harder to use the other controls as well.
For the past two years, Sonys has been the only gamepad in the market to offer a more traditional controller layout. It’s a shame because it doesn’t look as good as the new PS Move controller. But it does still look neat and has a few cool features. For one, the gamepad doesn’t have the same buttons as the original. Instead, it uses a smaller set of buttons for most of the same functionality as the original controller.
The downside to this is that the button layout is a little cramped. A typical controller has about 10 buttons with the left and right triggers and the analog sticks. The gamepad just has 7. The gamepad’s buttons aren’t quite as small as the original controller’s, which is really the only drawback to the PS5.
The only issue with the gamepad is that it takes up a lot of screen real estate. And yes, the gamepad does have its own unique buttons and is very different from the original controller. But if you want to play ps4 games on your console, you still have to use the gamepad.
