Sony's next-gen starts now, with the reveal of the DualSense controller. This issue we deliver the definitive analysis of the pad's new features, including how haptic feedback, the new Create button, advanced mic, and more will deliver new experiences on PS5.
We speak to leading next-gen devs and get their reactions. Keith Lee, creative director on PS5-exclusice Godfall, tells us in OPM #175 on sale now: “Our combat is kinaesthetic in nature, so the new controller’s ‘adaptive triggers’ and haptic feedback will make moment-to-moment combat feel exhilarating and visceral.”
Quantum Error
There's more PS5 news in issue 175, on sale now, as we speak with TeamKill Media about it's next-gen shooter Quantum Error. As well as new details on the threats you'll face in this Doom-meets-Control horror-shooter, the studio's Micah Jones reveals Quantum Error could be a PS5 launch game, and an exclusive.
“We fully expect we can achieve an early PS5 launch. However, we dream and pray we could release as a PS5 launch title, and believe if you set your mind to something and work hard you can achieve anything.”
Jones reveals to us that, at the time of our interview, horror- shooter Quantum Error is only in development for PS4 and PS5. “Our focus is on PS5 first and then to optimise for PS4. We are open to a timed exclusive or full exclusive.”
