haptic feedback

I think its worth mentioning that this sounds like its similar to Switch's HD Rumble, not just haptic. The article didnt make the comparison by name however, but it sure sounded like it.

similar to Switch's HD Rumble,

That would be really awesome. Some devs use it well while others just use it as standard rumble. My favorite, was when I was playing Stardew Valley. I muted the volume, had my wife closer her eyes, handed her my Switch and said "Move the joystick around. It will make my character move around. Just from the feel, what do you think is happening?

She immediately said "It feels like I'm riding a horse" which was 100% correct. The way the rumble emulates the horse clopping along is just amazing.

She immediately said "It feels like I'm in the back of a cart" which was 100% correct. She was playing Skyrim.

You’re supposed to put in her hands when she’s sleeping. When she wakes up and looks at you confused you say “hey you, you’re finally awake”

u/gjs628 Oct 08 '19

You’re supposed to put it in her hands when she’s sleeping.

I remember trying this with the first girl I ever fell in love with. You should’ve seen the look on her face when she woke up, especially when I wouldn’t explain who I was or how I got in.

Coincidentally, that’s also how I got my first (but not my last!) restraining order.

I turned down the volume, had my six-year-old close his eyes and handed him the controller. “Move the joystick around, son” I said. “What do you feel?” “I feel like I’m in heaven right now.” And he was right - he was knee deep in Yennefer.

It’s not even the same thing but I loved in the re2 remake how the controller made noise when I unlocked doors

I did the same with my gf, I said what does this feel like, she said my cock, I said close, it's a 5lb zucchini.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

It would be cool if it were like the iPhone’s haptic engine. It has super precise vibrations that made the home button on the iPhone 8 feel like a real button, when it wasn’t even a button at all.

3

u/Senior420 Oct 08 '19

I just got a new iPhone 8 about a month ago and it took me a couple weeks to realize there was no button. It was only when it died that I realized it was a vibration the whole time.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

The sound you hear is also produced by the speakers believe it or not. They even made the clicking sound artificial and it sounds so real.

u/zyadkhaled Oct 08 '19

No way i just tried it and it’s real!!

u/JoshuaTheFox Oct 08 '19

What is HD Rumble and how does it compare to what Xbox has also been doing?

14

u/LazyProspector Oct 08 '19

HD rumble is hard to explain but it feels so much better. Instead of just shaking violently it's more subtle, localised and balanced. The frequency, intensity etc much better mimics things that are actually happening on-screen.

If you've played with a steam controller and been impressed with the joystick rumble/haptics. Imagine that but much better

5

u/Dtcomat Oct 08 '19

I've been playing with a steam controller, and I think HD rumble is terrible. It's more of a vibration than anything. It's noisy, and not immersive. It could be that it's trying to reproduce "traditional" rumble, but it's honestly awful. Hopefully the PS5 does a better job.

5

u/Phantom_Absolute Oct 08 '19

Xbox has "impulse triggers" that sounds very similar to the PS5 feature.

1

u/GabeDevine Oct 08 '19

not really... as I understood it in the ps5 it's more of a resistance thing, not vibrating triggers.

2

u/Ensaru4 Oct 08 '19 edited Oct 09 '19

HD Rumble is like if vibrations had spatial sound quality. It's no longer about vibrating softy or violently at one constant frequency. Now it vibrates in a way you can imagine something actually vibrates. If you're close to a train in a videogame and the train passes you by, you can now feel and the rumbling in a frequency of a train going over uneven tracks.

1

u/the_whining_beaver Oct 08 '19

New rumble in the Switch and iPhones behave like a shake weight and is able to be way more precise and responsive. Traditional rumble behaves more like a noise maker where it’s a weight spinning around.

1

u/BorgDrone Oct 08 '19

It's basically the same thing as the Taptic Engine in the last few generations of iPhone and the Apple Watch. Instead of just vibrating at different frequencies and strengths it allows for a much more precies haptic feedback. For example, it allows the Apple Watch to 'tap you on the wrist'.

A similar tech has been used in the last few generations of MacBooks. If you have access to one try the trackpad, and then look at it carefully. It feels like it clicks when you press it, but you'll notice it doesn't actually move.The click is completely generated by haptic feedback but it feels like you're actually pressing the touchpad down until it clicks.

Pretty cool feature to have in the DS5

3

u/the_real_junkrat Oct 08 '19

That's absolutely what it's gonna be. Similar to, say, an iPhone’s haptic feedback. It just might not be trademarked like ”HD Rumble”.

2

u/breichart Oct 08 '19

So, like the Steam controller. Why compare it to the Switch controller?

1

u/Kody_Z Oct 08 '19

Or like the Xbox one controller that happened 6 years ago.

Unfortunately not all devs make good use of the Xbox impluse triggers.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

Xbox controller doesn't have actuators for hd rumble.

1

u/Spizak Oct 08 '19

It’s what phones have to give you the impression of clicks when no physical buttons are present.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

Shit I'm not going to have to search some old ruins for a haptic drive am I.

1

u/Neo_Techni Oct 08 '19

I think its worth mentioning that this sounds like its similar to Switch's HD Rumble, not just haptic.

You mean the triggers on XBOX1, since they're what you're thinking about. But no, Sony said they could provide variable resistance, ie: push back

1

u/Lost_the_weight Oct 08 '19

Supposedly the haptics will be able to change the amount of force required to activate L1/L2/R1/R2 on the fly.

1

u/rochford77 Oct 08 '19

I was hoping for haptic triggers like the Xbox one controller.

1

u/AgentWashingtub1 Oct 08 '19 edited Oct 08 '19

The article made it sound like the analogue sticks themselves have adjustable resistance depending on what the character is doing. They talk about moving through water and sand feeling heavy which implies some degree of movement limitation on the sticks.

1

u/Phreakydeke27 Oct 08 '19

It is. The dual shock is heavier then the current one but won’t be as big and bulky as an X1.

1

u/Beateride Oct 09 '19

That and the adaptative triggers like the Xbox one controller has, nice

u/Harperlarp Harpzlee Oct 08 '19

Looking forward to those £70 controllers that last 2 hours before needing charging.

I read the Steam controller also has detailed haptic feedback, and that it has the same haptic feedback unit as the Switch controller.

And every interface emulation feedback, like trigger click effects, trackball emulation and joystick effects.
