Too bad most devs do not take advantage of the controller’s haptics
exclusive features like those featured by the Dualsense will only be maximized by Sony's own team, sadly. And they definitely need to do it or it will become an afterthought by the end of this gen with other devs not bothered taking advantage of the unique features. that's exactly the problem with the PS Vita. not enough devs (not even Sony's) are willing to push the envelop when it comes to its features passed the launch period. games like Uncharted GA which uses the Vita to its full capabilities are almost non-existent. even the power is underutilized.
They're struggling with putting out a finished game let alone implementing exclusive features.
How are games like Horizon Forbidden West, Demon Souls, Ratchet & Clank, Spider Man, God of War Ragnarok, Returnal, Sackboy A Big Adventure and such unfinished?
They did a great job with the demo version I would guess with all this time they really push it now. Unfortunately nobody else does it. It really can make a big difference in immersion but it isn’t used beyond rumble , speaker and the touchpad as a button
Steering with the controller in GT7 is a game changer.
I've since played WipeOut and Project Cars 3 with gyro steering, and also loved it.
Wish more racing games used this feature
Recently, I had the opportunity to test a 15-year-old PlayStation 2 (PS2) controller, and what I discovered was astonishing: despite years of heavy use and a considerable amount of dirt buildup, this controller exhibited almost zero stick drift.
For those unfamiliar, stick drift is a common issue in modern gaming controllers where the analog sticks register movement without any input from the player. This problem has become increasingly prevalent with contemporary controllers, including the PlayStation 5’s DualSense. It got me thinking: why did we rarely, if ever, hear about stick drift during the PS2 era, despite analog sticks being a staple feature since the PlayStation 1 days?
Here's an in-depth look at whether Microsoft took advantage of the PS5 DualSense controller's features with the Xbox games on PS5.
I’m going bed now so have only previewed this article but credit to James Lara at MP1st.com for such a unique and in depth investigation! From comparing the audio captured from the controllers’ vibrations to determining the in-game source of vibration and its effect in Hi-Fi Rush, this seems like a scientific approach has been taken. Wow. Man must really cares about the topic, I gotta respect that passion. 🫡
i love how this is so indepth only to say "well yes, but mostly no"
haha xD good article tho
Those are some neat features.
there also a new turn off/ rest mode screen
Looking forward to these nice little upgrades
