PlayStation fans hit out at new console’s ‘lazy’ design

We’re going to look back at 2023 as a landmark year in gaming. It’s been a year chock full of incredible releases. Already, we’ve hadStar Wars Jedi: Survivor, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, Sea of Stars, Disney Illusion Island, Baldur’s Gate 3, Street Fighter 6, Resident Evil 4… I could go on. There’s been a little bit of something for everyone.

The fun doesn’t stop now though. We still have four months to go.Starfieldwill leave its early access period tomorrow, releasing to all. After that, the next big landmark is perhapsMarvel’s Spider-Man 2. It’s undoubtedly Son’y biggest release of the year so to celebrate, they previouslyunveiled a themed DualSense controllerto launch alongside the game, in addition to PS5 plates. As we near the game’s launch month though, fans are branding the design as ‘lazy’.

Take a look atMarvel’s Spider-Man 2in action below.

Primerion-kenadded, “They wanted a quick cash grab. Both controller and plates design are bad and lacklustre,” while UnkownMeme1337said, “Controller is good imo but the fking plates, holy st.” PotatoLord_69wrote, “I think the side with red and black is good, but the other side that’s just all black with the tiny logo is awful.”

I agree with that latter sentiment. The red and black side is promising but on the whole, the design is a tad simplistic - especially when you compare to theStarfieldplates currently available for the Xbox Series X which include a detailed four-plate design. Sony are only just beginning their venture into limited edition plates, so hopefully we’ll continue to see an improvement.
