The patent suggests a possible form of mobile DualShock -apkrig
Although cell phones understand the controls on both the Xbox and PlayStation, you may not always be able to conveniently connect devices to them, or set them aside and set them up so that you can see them. In connection with xCloud, a clip was used through which a mobile phone can be used usually pin sizes to the Xbox driver and quite meaningfully use it for gaming. But Sony will probably do it differently, but not in an original way, if it wants to use the newly published patent of the Japanese headquarters. The patent, which was registered in May last year, describes a relatively standard view mobile driver, which manufacturers of various brands have been bringing to market for many years. It is a divided left and right part of the classic gamepad – in this case DualShock 4 – between which a mobile phone is placed with the help of a clamping mechanism. According to the description, this method should be used primarily for the use of the Remote Play function, ie remote play from its console, but it could naturally find use even at the moment if Sony decided to expand PlayStation Now or enter the waters of mobile titles more actively.
“A driver described in a patent document is a device that is connected to an information processing device, such as a personal computer or a gaming device. This then sends information processing signals to this device and receives back data about the user’s interaction, ”the document defines in the usual language. It describes in detail that the controller has two hands-holding parts that communicate wirelessly with the data processing device mentioned, or you can read a detailed description of all the usual buttons on the controller for the PlayStation and their possible uses. Part of the patent documentation is also devoted to the system of attaching the phone between the two parts of the controller, nothing more that the user can set the width himself, but you will not find out in it. In other words, if you’ve ever had a gamepad or even a mobile gaming device, you don’t need to know anything more.
However, the information about the driver’s communication with the computer or console is important. Although it may seem at first glance that Sony has jumped straight into the mobile gaming segment, this may not be the case based on the gamepad described. As the Video Games Chronicle magazine, which was one of the first to point out the patent, recalls, Sony hired current Apple Arcade content director Nicola Sebastiani in October and will probably want to use it for its vision to bring it to the mobile platform. some of their most popular brands. However, it can be done without its own gamepad, especially if the option mentioned in the introduction to the already owned driver via Bluetooth is still valid.
Nevertheless, the reminder that Sony has already confirmed the return of the Wipeout series, which will take place on mobile phones, cannot be left aside, and we could allegedly see new mobile games as early as next year. But don’t rejoice too much – as the CEO of Rogue Games, which is responsible for the development of the game, will not be a classic form of futuristic racing, as players on PlayStation are used to. Instead, the developers want to try new elements of gameplay, which should be framed by a form of animated comics and semi-automatic racing without the possibility of direct control of individual ships.
