PS4 Back Button Attachment Review

Dual Pixels: "Who would have thought an accessory would be a game changer?  And for the price, it's definitely a game changer. I was skeptical when Sony announced they were making yet another accessory, out of nowhere."

They should make an attachment that improves the battery life :/

KillBill2223d ago

Real curious as to how this affects battery life seeing it draws battery for the display. Have not seen an instance where said display is in an off mode. Would be nice to see a detailed review of the device instead of the "i love you" reviews that give little actual specifics that we couldn't garner ourselves.

UltraNova2223d ago

Maybe those "I love you" reviewers didn't notice any noteworthy battery drain? Just saying...

SamPao2223d ago

its an oled, and you can see it turns off very quickly and its 2 buttons, they use nearly NO additional battery and reviewers say the same, they did not see any change

xetiro2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

Can't understand the fuzz with the battery life consumption from such a simple USB attachment device. This is a low-power accessory that only features a super small, low-res and monochromatic oled interface that automatically idles off after a few seconds. It only lights on the few pixels that it has when you touch it to change/update the buttons profile. Besides that, 99% of the time this accessory is a simple 2 digital button input. I would say that its virtually impossible to notice any real-life battery life drain from this device.

This is a well design accessory that fits the DS4 perfectly and does its job well at a fair price. That's the only reason why in overall the reviews and feedback of this accessory has been extremely positive. If battery consumption was even a problem that would stand out as a negative aspect of this accessory, but its obviously not the case.

kparks2223d ago

I've had this a couple days now Walmart was selling it early for 25$ the screen is only on for like 3 seconds and you have to activate it, I don't see any drain on the battery. The attachment will take some getting used to it feels really weird if your not used to it but it does seem well made. Hope this helps

rainslacker2223d ago

A couple have mentioned it, and said it doesnt seem to affect the battery life. The oled doesnt stay on all the time apparently

Idk why people complain. Yesterday i play from like 12 to 2am and the controller started dying at 2am and this is non stop playing days gone. So sure can it improves and yeah it shoul why not. But 14hrs gameplay non stop isn't that bad.

JackBNimble2223d ago

I don't get anywhere close to 14 hours, maybe a 3 hours and my controller is only a few months old.
I don't have a huge problem with this because I just plug into my phone charger but the DS4 battery life is shit.

rainslacker2223d ago

I only have issues on games which go heavy on the rumble function. Borderlands 2 was maybe 4-5 hours of constant play. Most games I get 8 or more hours, and I rarely play that long in one go. If by chance the battery starts going dead, I have a usb cord right next to my sofa

SamPao2223d ago

its called a cable and its almost always in stock :D

drunkenspy0072223d ago

I never had any issue with the battery. Not to say it won't run out, but I seem to get at least 12 hours or more before needing to recharge, and that just means connecting up to the cable. I have two controllers though, just in case one does need to charge.

Pre-ordered mine. Haven’t gotten it yet.

SeanScythe2223d ago

same preordered on amazon, but shows out of stock and that im on a list to be notified when it's back in stock. I thought preorder meant I would get one in stock. I can understand not preordering having to wait.

GameStallion2223d ago (Edited 2223d ago )

Seriously, I checked again to see when I pre-ordered and it was the 31st of Dec. 1st world problems I guess, bro.

SeanScythe2222d ago (Edited 2222d ago )

Canceled my amazon and found my local gamestop had them same price in stock. Went and grabbed one on my way home.

BlackDoomAx2223d ago

Just a few things I notice just by the look (and for comparing with a strike pack that I have): why put the screen on the back and not on the front? If you want to change it in game, you stop playing and turn it ? Then I think it won't fit for every hand as the buttons are in straight line ( compare with a strike pack to see what I'm talking about ). If you plan to buy one, you should try it before to see if you're comfortable with it.

Abnor_Mal2223d ago

Went to my local Gamestop to pick one up, but the store was going out of business. Most everything Gone off the shelves and what little they had was 70% off. They were even selling off the shelving units and odd furniture.

Will take a trip to Best buy tomorrow and pick one up, only hearing good reviews about this device. With reviewers saying the old screen is very dim and only stays on for a few seconds and there was no noticable battery drain.

As for why the screen is on the back, I would guess because it would be easier to hit and possibly change features while using the thumbsticks if the screen was on the front.

VenomUK15h ago

I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.

Right now I am more excited to see some gameplay of the Remake Trilogy than the sequel.

rlow11d 4h ago

Question is? Is the remake going to be 100% faithful to the original, or will they cut out some of more controversial parts? Aka. Sex scenes? It’ll be interesting

repsahj1d 1h ago

I agree. That is why I am excited to see the gameplay.

-Foxtrot1d 8h ago

I'm really not fussed if we don't see Atreus again to be honest

Kratos should be the main focus at the end of the day, I thought the Atreus sections in Ragnarök were pretty boring, he's just not that interesting on his own.

Shane Kim1d 7h ago

I don't get it either why they have to shoehorn hos "son" into the story. Just give us Kratos.

Cacabunga1d 7h ago

What i cannot think of is Sony closing this studio as well at some point. They are really on a terrible streak towards downfall…

Inverno1d 5h ago

They did Atreus dirty in Ragnarok. His design doesn't match at all the way he behaved and his personality. They didn't write him to come into his own, instead they wrote him as an obnoxious modern day teenager, acting out and being cringe all the way through. I was hoping to see him become Loki but nope.

Pyrofire951d 1h ago

I think I'd be cool with a mid budget Atreus game but my loyalty is with Kratos for sure. Looking forward to seeing what the remakes are more than anything atm. But also I'm still mad at Playstation over Bluepoint

Inverno1h ago

GOW has the potential to be spinoff'd into games about other gods. A game about Atreus becoming Loki with a trickster mechanic where the story changes depending on your method of tricking other characters would be hella interesting. More so if they bring Atreus to whatever other patheon they might have planned for Kratos. Actually would be a missed opportunity if they don't make Atreus in a reoccurring character in future games. He could easily be the Patches of the GOW franchise.

No hints at interesting gameplay, though.

They saved "Mau" for their next live-service spin-off game.
