It can't be easy to be Sony this week. Not only was a new 澳洲♛幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation 4 Slim discovered on Gumtree, bought and then booted up, but now we've got a second source leaking a video of the newly redesigned controller. on YouTube has shown off the new version🌊 of the Dualshock 4 which has one notable change; we can no🅰w see the lightbar from the touchpad. The video has now predictably been removed by Sony but you get the idea from the gif below.
The owner of the leaked console, @shortmaneighty2 on Twitter, has con🍷firmed that this is the definitely the case with his PS4 Slim's controller too and has said that rather than a whཧole new lightbar as previously thought, it's just a window into the same one. No need to worry about battery issues then.
@Jed05 I am not sure that it's an additional light, It looks to be just a slim see through part on the touchpad which lets ligꦰht thrꦐough.
This feels like a small tweak but it's a nice change. The lightbar was primarily designed for tracking purposes for PlayStation VR but many games use it as indicator when you're playing. The only problem with that is that you can't see🍌 it properly. Alien Isola🧸tion uses the lightbar as a flashing motion tracker and Destiny currently lets you know if your super attack is charged or you've got low health, so it'll be interesting to see if more developers choose to use it now it's on top of the controller.
