Hi-Fi Rush is a Game Where Controller Vibration Actually Matters

Because of its reliance on timing button presses with music, Hi-FI Rush is a title that benefits from having controller vibration turned on.

I mean, that's basically all rhythm games

Also make sure whatever sound device you're using has no bad lag. Very important to the enjoyment of the game. I wish the game did a sound test for me at first and had no idea why my input was so off.

Interesting to know. Might have benefited even more on the Dual Sense controller where its vibration exceeds other controllers on console.

The DualSense excels at creating a sort of sensation or feeling. Vibrating to the beat of the music wouldn't benefit at all, it's just standard vibration at that point.

Naw, the way this game is setup it would actually be dope. I wouldn’t want it to vibrate too much. Like I said earlier the game does a great job staying in beat even the character snaps, and stays with it in idle. It would be great if the vibration’s sensitivity was based upon a completed combo.

Pork, you know this game would have benefited more on Dual Sense.

I mean, I don't know, Sony's controller has extra feedback that has proven to be more fun and immersive than the Xbox controller.

I mean. Hmmm.. a music rhythm game could have benefited from a speaker built into Dual Sense for extra immersion would it not? Music seems to work great coming from speakers.

The motion tracking in the Dual Sense could have also added some type of extra gameplay to this game don't you think? Same with the triggers.

You know you can't deny it. The game not coming to PS5? I'm fine with that. But the facts are sitting right in front of your face. This game would have benefited from Sony's controller more.

I play PS5 PC ports with a dual sense. Triggers are nice, think the heptic is..... what it is, each to their own.

But biggin' up a controller for its built in speaker or having motion control. Thats a LOL in my book. I'd drop both for some battery life.

I love how you were specifically talking about vibration, but now you're moving the goal post to include the speaker, triggers, and the motion controls. Could the speaker, triggers, and motion add to the game? Absolutely, no argument there, they probably could have done some cool stuff. But vibrating to the music wouldn't benefit from haptic feedback because it's just emulating the music beat. The vibrations would essentially be the exact same.

[ApocalypseShadow]

No goal posts. Dual Sense has proven to be more immersive than the Xbox controller. No one talks about the Xbox controller. At all. For vibration. For anything.

Sony's controller would not just vibrate for this game but could do so across the controller in different ways. The other features are just icing on the cake that embarrass the Xbox controller.

Keep denying it though. Doesn't matter. The facts are there. A multiplatform releases of this game would have also proven my statements. But we know that's not going to happen. I'm still right though.

The fact that everyone disagreed with your statement that "it's just standard vibration" is just denying the facts.

[giovonni]

I with you on this one. That’s too much feed back for my taste. The whole game is one big song

[porkChop]

"Embarrass" Xbox? Do you hear yourself? You're acting like a baby screaming because someone took your pacifier. It's an article about how a controller vibrates in sync to the beat of the music. Yet you've gone out of your way to bring console war bs into it because your controller would vibrate better. JFC, get help. People like you are what give gamers such a bad reputation.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Who's screaming Johnny? Am I typing big? No.

Prove that the vibration on Xbox has been well received over Dual Sense this generation? It hasn't.

Pull any links. Provide any articles. Dual Sense has done a better job at vibration among the other features. Xbox fans just can't admit it just like they can't admit game pass cannibalizes game sales. Or about Microsoft has done nothing this generation but take away games.

People like you can't prove otherwise. So you go after me personally. That's when you know you got nothing. Personal attacks without any facts.

Reasonably and logically you have nothing. But I can prove easily that this game would have done better on Dual Sense. Am I afraid to come into an Xbox article and say it? Nope.

Why would I have to prove something I never said? At no point did I compare Xbox and PS. *You* did. I said that the vibration would be the same regardless of haptic feedback or controller, because it's true. A simple pulse of vibration to the beat of the music will not benefit from haptic feedback because that's not what haptic feedback is meant for.

The haptics would just output a normal vibration pulse, like they do if you play a PS4 game with a DualSense. The vibration is being used to keep the player in sync with the rhythm of the music. It's designed that way to aid gameplay, not create a feeling. That isn't going to change suddenly just because a controller has haptics.

It’s better, but the game does a good job staying in rhythm

Yeah I know some people turn the vibration off when playing certain games especially FPS competitively but Ive always liked the little sensory feedback when performing tasks or taking damage in games. Its definitely perfect for a rhythm game like HiFi Rush you can literally feel the beat. Love it.
