Naturally, it's the design that's the star of the show here, and Rasmus Poulsen, Franchise Art Director on 007 First Light , states in a new PlayStation Blog post that "Every element of the DualSense design was crafted as a celebration of Bonds return, blending legacy and modernity to create a controller that feels unmistakably 007 from the moment you see it."

At the core of that is the controller's shiny golden sheen finish that's punctuated and complemented by darker, black features. 007 First Light

On the rear of the pad, among the sea of goldness, the 007 First Light name and tagline of 'Earn the number' are present.

I think it looks very slick and chic, and I simply must add it to my collection.

game and how it feels to play it as well as being a nod to one of pop
cultures most recognizable visual signatures."
