Spider-Man: Miles Morales offers unique implementation of haptic feedback in DualSense controller

Though talked about often, DualSense, the all-new PS5 controller, really is something that simply has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. While with each generation, Sony has improved the DualShock controller, culminating with DualShock 4 on PS4, DualSense is a complete rethinking of the controller. One key feature of DualSense is haptic feedback that offers granular vibrations, among other types of feedback, for much more nuanced experiences. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales Creative Director Brian Horton on <a href="https://blog.playstation.com/2020/08/20/presenting-playstations-first-global-ad-spot-showcasing-key-immersive-features-for-the-ps5-console-generation/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">PlayStation Blog</a>: <blockquote> The haptic feedback precision allows us to do all sorts of new things. In Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, we’ll be hinting to players which direction attacks are coming from by providing haptic feedback from the appropriate direction on the DualSense wireless controller. What does it feel like to use Miles’s stealth ability? How does a Venom Blast feel? Because of the high resolution of DualSense wireless controller’s haptics system, we can really push the dimensionality of the feedback. For instance, as you hold down Square to do a Venom Punch, you feel Spider-Man’s bio-electricity crackle across from the left side of the controller, culminating in the right side on impact. </blockquote> This is an extremely smart and unique implementation of haptic feedback that goes beyond cool and actually fits in narratively. One fundamental nature of Spider-Man’s power has always been Spidey Sense, an ability that alerts him to oncoming dangers before they happen. Until now, Spidey Sense was either omitted from games or displayed visually. With DualSense, gamers will be able to feel in their hands with Miles is feeling and get a sense of the direction of an attack before it happens. <a href="https://sonyreconsidered.com/spider-man-miles-morales-offers-unique-implementation-of-haptic-feedback-in-dualsense-controller-ac68f32f626f">Read More</a>
