Built-in microphones
One thing that will please multiplayer/social gamers no end is the new facility to chat in-game and with other players without the need for a headset – especially for short periods and when voice audio quality isn’t that important.
Adaptive triggers
Along with haptic feedback, the new controller adopts adaptive triggers for the L2 and R2 buttons.
These also introduce content-related feedback and finer control, such as when you are pulling the trigger of a gun on screen, or pulling back a bow to fire off an arrow.
Battery life
Another biggy for the PlayStation team was to improve the battery life in the latest controller. That’s perhaps one of the DualShock 4’s main caveats and it’s great to hear it is being addressed.
There is no word yet on how large the battery is, or how long it might last, but the slightly bulkier design of the new controller is partly as a result of cramming in a bigger battery. And that’s great to hear.
