GTA V DualShock 4 features revealed

4.6
Sony has revealed the extra functionality the DualShock 4 controller will bring to the PS4 version of Grand Theft Auto V.

In a post on the PlayStation blog, the company listed a number of unique features that will be made possible with the controller's touch pad, speaker and light bar.

Players will be able to use the touch pad for numerous additional controls. These include switching between third person and first person viewpoint on the fly and switching radio stations.

The touch pad can also be used for quick weapon switching and quick-tossing grenades during the middle of a gunfight.

Police radio chatter will now be heard through the controller's speaker rather than the TV, as will phone calls from friends and acquaintances Michael, Franklin and Trevor meet throughout the game.

Finally, the light bar will change colour depending on the character currently being controller, and will start flashing red and blue when the police are chasing you.

The new-gen Grand Theft Auto V release date is November 18, 2014 on Xbox One and PS4. The PC version, originally planned for release this year, will launch on January 27, 2015.

That's amazing, maybe not enough to completely get me to switch to PS4 but for sure a great new feature!

Chevy- Deff gonna go buy the controller !


It.. it comes with the console..?


Why would you need to buy a controller? It comes with the PS4?!


He read the title. And read it wrong, he thinks that a GTA V limited edition PS4 controller is being released. Idiot.


Basically, and obviously to boost him news comment count because he didn't read the post.

This is one of those simple features that isn't much when heard about but will definitely look cool once it is introduced.

Kind of interesting. I have the Xbox One though so I won't get to try this.

I figured that Rockstar would do something like this with GTAV, with the touch-pad. And it turns out, that they will be doing some touch-pad controls, like the switching weapons.

This made me laugh,

I really wanna buy the game, but at the same time, I feel like it'll just be the same as the original.
