![]() ![]() It just feels right, and I’m itching to give more racers a go so I can compare. It really does bring you closer to the action in a way that isn’t invasive or over the top. Depending on the terrain, the controller will shake and rock as you go barreling over rocky mountain tracks, or it’ll give a smooth, continuous low rumble as you drift around a wet, muddy corner. The resistance in the triggers is a great feature, as are the rumbles. And it should have been, damn it! Why haven’t controllers been doing this the whole time?! It’s such a small thing that after a while, once the stupid grin left my face, it was just there, as if it’s always been the most natural thing in the world. Not too much and not too little, but just enough to remind me what it’s like to put a foot to the pedal of a real car. Pulling the right trigger, you’re met with a touch of resistance. The haptic feedback on the DualSense is all about the triggers. The graphical upgrade are nice and the aim of 4K working in tandem with 60fps gameplay is appreciated, but the real upgrade comes in what’s sitting in your hands and how that brings you a little closer to the tracks. DIRT 5 isn’t alone in this, actually, as I’ve found myself playing Forza Horizon 4 in much the same way, and it’s my fear that graphics are going to be so great this generation that I’ll never see the inside of a car again. If possible, I’ll always play in cockpit view, but with DIRT 5 I found myself playing in chase cam because I felt like I was missing out on too much with the smaller world view inside the cockpit. In fact, the scenery and cars look so good in DIRT 5, I’ve found myself breaking my own rule when it comes to racing games. Still, I’m just as impressed with DIRT 5 on PS5 as I was on PS4, and a little more. It’s not a massive upgrade over the original game from PS4, but everything looks much cleaner, crisper, and slightly better illuminated, though with the game’s dynamic weather that can shift from blinding sunshine to a thunderstorm in the course of a lap, it’s hard to really make those like for like comparisons. Let’s start with the obvious, then – the graphics. What you are getting are some sexy features with the DualSense controller, higher resolutions, higher frame rates, and none of that screen-tearing that I was forced to get used to on PS4. It’s the exact same game, mind you, you aren’t getting any extra content. It wasn’t without its issues, mind you, but the majority of them have been swept away by the extra power inside the PS5. DIRT 5 on PS4 was a brilliant game and I thoroughly enjoyed myself playing it.
