Sony is testing a concept where a smartphone connects to the DualSense Wireless Controller to add extra inputs. Future PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 6 games could use it for touchscreen controls or as a second screen.

    1. Having the map or something like that could be a fun gimmick. Even if it’s just a mirror and not necessarily attached to the contoller

    2. I like this, better than slapping an expensive screen on the controller which only a few games would use.

    3. If you’ve ever used a modern smartphone to play games this way, then you’ve probably experienced the way it throws the weight balance off. I’m good.

    4. Because having a second screen worked well for Wii U.

      Also the second screen function a few PS3 and early PS4 games used.

      I do not want face tracking in my games that already have a problem with data collection. Ffs

    6. It would be such a hassle with the fit for different phones and cases. Better off having a separate attachable mini screen for it. But the weight of a phone on top of a controller while playing on my TV seems like it would feel cumbersome.

      What they need to do is add back buttons for extra inputs. 6/10 fingers are not used for anything
