The Last of Us Gets Its Own Limited Edition DualSense PS5 Controller

So no new game but still milking the franchise huh?

Fairly uninspiring, as most of these controller designs are.

The Last Of Us Re-Mars-tered edition tease?

Lol. I find that to be a very tacky looking controller, though I do love the matte finish.

I might hold off on this one. I already have Spider-Man 2, God of War Ragnarok, Astro Bot, Helldivers 2 and 30th Anniversary DualSense controllers. All of them are very nice and have good designs and control schemes, but this one is not quite as impressive. Plus while I enjoy TLOU, not the biggest hardcore fan.

@IOI The second season of TLOU is coming out that's the reason for this new controller

All over this. Even though I mainly use the 30th Edge, it'll be nice to have.

How can Concord put out a better looking controller than TLOU?

this is one of the lamest ones

Why are companies so bad at making controller designs?

Look at the uncharted and god of war ps3 controllers and then look at this.

Same for the majority of the Xbox One controllers which looked pretty amazing.

This is an incredibly lame design.

I like the colors on it but the logo on the back of the controller is a bit tacky.

@IOI It certainly looks like it would go well with a glass of milk.

I actually really liked it until I saw the back. So close!

A new last of us game would have been better ND. Also does uncharted still exist.

The new ND game has soooooo much to live up to.

Sort of horrid design. The balance of black and white just does not work imo.

I'm glad Sony's still making these unique controllers, seems like a no brainer for all their big IP. Now with that being said, please release a Horizon one 🙏

Waiting for Stellar Blade one in EVE green.

Dang Sony releasing more limited edition controllers this gen than actual first party games.

It looks like it was designed by a teenager. You can buy replacement parts to create that colour scheme yourself, the only thing they've really done here that is difficult to mimic is stuck logos and icons from the game in random spots on the controller.

Also worth pointing out that white is a poor choice for buttons, especially thumb sticks. Skin naturally secretes oils which will gradually cause the thumb sticks and triggers to yellow.

Im not even a huge LOU fan but that controller is sick, def going t try to snag one!

@AndyKazama My man

@HMazzy111 Agreed. Astrobot set the standard for what these should try to do. I wish I bought more than one!

This controller looks ugly. It's like they took inspiration from the LeBron and Fortnite controller.

@AndyKazama
That be hot!

Remember when PS fans used to say Xbox released more limited edition controller than games? Anyone? Anyone remember that. It went like another Xbox controller, they release more controllers than games! Well……………. I could say that here. I won’t. I’ll be nice. But man. PS5 is out here doing the most to be stale. Good thing they sell lot’s of consoles tho right. Thats the counter argument to anything said about them.

If a ps5 plate/cover looked similar that would be sweet.

Looking good, but my controllers can only last for max 2 years so I wish it were a Dual sense Edge

Scalpers be like:

Why is it so hard for Sony to hire some designers with taste?

I'd rather faceplates for the ps5 pro then more Controller's

That's great and all but will there be anything to play with it that aren't remasters?

Every time I make a joke about Sony putting out more new hardware than games recently Sony counters by… announcing new hardware.😂

I don't know why they bother the Helldivers 2 one was a huge disappointment,.it should have been black with yellow strips and the HELLDIVERS icon on the touch pad but it was rubbish they all

@OldGamer999 Uncharted series already finished. ND doesn't want to go back to the series anymore because the story wrap up nicely with Uncharted 4.

And they're busy working on their new IP; Intergalactic. Maybe they will do TloU 3 after they're done with Intergalactic...

sigh unzips wallet

I ended up buying the 30th Anniversary controller shells off E-bay for $22 a piece, and they look amazing!

I’m a total sucker for anything like that, day one for me 🤦‍♂️

Y'all arguing which dress you rather have on your dolls

I'm sorry - I love these games, but that's the most boring looking custom controller. Of course, I'm sure there's going to be people salivating over it... but it's like you asked a work-experience kid to do the design. Couldn't they have at least... having the gloss (relief?) was slightly interesting... but when I look at the controller, I don't feel anything (from somone that absolutely loves the games).

I see people gushing over this - and well - hope you enjoy it. I also wonder why... but to be fair - I don't buy custom controllers. However... missing out on the Concord controller is one of my life regrets.

edit - apparently bait-and-switching goes hand in hand with TLOUp2... why would they show Joel/Ellie/Abby on the controller as part of the faction icons, when they (from what I can see) don't actually figure on the real controller that people would be buying. Huh?

@Deadlyblack er.... sorry... maybe I didn't watch carefully enough. What colours?

I'm not a fan of the placement of the white symbols. I think it'd look better with just the "watermark-type" symbols and no white ones.

Why this color scheme? What about the choice says TLOU? Should have been earthy and fern green or something.

Not great.

In fairness the source material doesn’t allow for a particularly attractive and eye catching design (unlike say a Sci Fi game), so they were in a turd polishing situation from the start.

But still I think they didn’t polish very hard. IamJT is right in that I’d have been expecting something earthy or fern green.

I guess in that sense they really lived up to the reputation of TLoU 2 and honoured Druckmanns strategy. They subverted expectations and produced something meh, when doing the predictable would have created something far better!

Looks like somebody trained an AI on a bunch of icons for the game and said "now, make me an image of a DualSense branded with TLoU images"

At least it doesn't have three joysticks.

Really like the reversed colours, but the rest of the design is pants. Weird colour scheme to choose for TLoU. No thanks.

How uninspired and boring.

Factions2 MP canceled, and creator says "don't bet on a sequel" but here's a controller you can hold while watching the HBO series

I like the invert look of the original DualSense, but I never could get into TLOU and the logos randomly splattered all over it make it not worth the carnage to acquire one.

Although someone did mention a StellarBlade/Eve controller, green chrome with white bits like this could work really well...

$ony really doesn’t have to try with anything anymore

Gorgeous design but I’m not buying another controller knowing full well I’ll be installing TMR sticks. Already got two. But hey, this is a nice one.

@HMazzy111 The lack of care and attention to detail is astonishing. This looks like someone has just plopped some logos on there randomly and left it at that. Compared to xbox controller designs, this suuucks.
