Starlight Blue, Pink Nova and Galactic Purple: discover the new new colors of the DualSense
For the release of its new PlayStation, Sony has completely revised the design of its historic controller, the DualShock. Now known as DualSense, this controller benefits from many advances that allow you to take full advantage of the features provided by the PS5. It is first of all at the design level that Sony operated. The DualSense offers softer lines, while offering a better grip.
On a more technical level, this controller now has haptic feedback thanks to two mechanisms replacing the traditional vibration motors. A system to obtain finer and more dynamic vibrations, which can transcribe a wider range of interactions. Another far from trivial innovation: adaptive triggers. The latter offer greater sensitivity, and truly take into account the pressure applied to them. What bring finesse into play, and dose the power exerted with great precision. Far from forgetting its origins, this DualSense has retained many of the features of the DualShock 4, namely the presence of a microphone and a speaker, a touchpad, or even a good old gyroscope.
Traditionally offered in white, the DualSense has recently been dressed in brand new vibrant liveries. Starlight Blue, Pink Nova and Galactic Purple, these are the names of these new colors with strongly pronounced neon tones.
Horizon: Forbidden West – Guerilla Games signs a perfect sequel
Released in 2017, Horizon Zero Dawn received an extremely positive critical and public reception. It must be said that the open world game concocted by Guerilla Games had something to please: gameplay with small onions, original universe carried by a gripping story, sumptuous graphics fully exploiting the capacities of the PS4, in short, a great success on all fronts . Five years later, the studio returns to the front of the stage with a sequel that takes the recipe of the original and pushes it a step further, for our greatest pleasure.
Taking place six months after the end of Zero Dawn, Horizon Forbidden West brings us back alongside Aloy, the reckless machine hunter, in her quest to save the Earth. The planet is indeed suffering from a disruption of the terraforming system which degrades the biosphere via an infection that kills everything it touches, fauna and flora. With her companions, the young woman will go explore new regions in this famous prohibited west. She hopes to find the answers to her questions there, learn more about the past, and triumph over the threat that weighs on the world.
Once again, Guerilla Games hits the bull’s eye with a perfectly mastered title that brings many new features to an already well-established formula. Navigating the post-apocalyptic world created by Guerilla has never been so enjoyable thanks to Aloy’s new abilities. The new regions offered by this title also bring a welcome richness and variety. With this sequel, the developer gives us an almost perfect copy that retains the strengths of the original and sublimates them thanks to a gaggle of additions that all bring their stone to the building. A real success to discover without further delay.
Horizon Forbidden West is already available at Fnac. If there is a PlayStation 5 version (sold for 74.99 euros), we advise you to turn to the PlayStation 4 version sold for 10 euros less. Why ? Well, quite simply because this PlayStation 4 version benefits from a free update to the PlayStation 5 version. And if you are a Fnac+ member, you will also get 10 euros in your loyalty account. All in all a good deal.
