DualShock 4 Is Now Compatible With iPad, iPhone and Apple TV
Apple made some big waves in the gaming scene recently with the release of Apple Arcade, which is a gaming subscription service. You get access to lots of games for just $5 a month, which has brought lots of console gamers on board. Of course, many would rather play with an actual controller than touch controls, and now they can.
Today Sony’ Director of Peripherals and Esports Marketing, Anand Agarwal, posted on the PlayStation Blog that the DualShock 4 is now compatible with several Apple devices. These include the likes of the iPad, iPhone and Apple TV, and Mac compatibility is coming in October with the release of macOS Catalina.
Along with this comes the news that you are now also able to stream games from your PS4 to any Apple device that supports the PS4 Remote Play App.
You can connect your controller to the Apple device by using Bluetooth, though there are some steps to follow to make it work. You need to make sure that the controller is off, then you need to hold the PS button until the light bar starts flashing to put it into Bluetooth pairing mode.
While this will make gaming a lot better on Apple devices, there are a few caveats that those interested need to be aware of. Things like the touch pad, vibration function, motion sensor and the headphone jack don’t work, so you’re basically getting a bare bones PS4 controller. Even still, it’s way better than using touch controls.
On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.
The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.
The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.
We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.
PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.
Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?
According to Metacritic, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the worst-rated game of 2023, setting a new low for AAA releases. OpenCritic’s story is similar. See our video or written review to understand why.
Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
