News Hype Deathloop blocks the PS5 DualSense controller triggers when your weapon jams (Innovative feature of the PS5 DualSense)

Deathloop blocks the PS5 DualSense controller triggers when your weapon jams

www.eurogamer.net

The PS5's DualSense controller includes adaptive triggers and haptic feedback, a subject discussed by a raft of developers in a new PlayStation Blog post. But the note from Deathloop game director Dinga Bakaba caught my eye.

As Bakaba explains, when your weapon jams in-game, the controller will block the triggers, preventing you not just from pulling the trigger virtually, but pulling the trigger on the DualSense.

"I'm really excited by the adaptive triggers and the haptic feedback, both features that will bring some physicality in game experiences, and give important feedback," Bakaba said.

"Deathloop being a first-person shooter, we do a lot of things to make weapons feel differently from one another. One I like is blocking the triggers when your weapon jams, to give to the player an immediate feedback even before the animation plays out, which prompts the player in a physical way that they have to unjam their gun."

Death Stranding blocked the fun from the Dual Shock 4. So this isn't that innovative.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Read about this earlier, cool as shit to get feedback from the controller before the game animation. Will make gun fights more tense. Love the feature

 

[truth411]

Cool, but I get the feeling this feature is going to lead to alot of broken controllers.
I can here it now: "WTF is going on!! Squeeze Damn it!!!" Lol.

[MasterCornholio]

That sounds pretty cool. I knew it could adjust the tension but I didn't know it could block the triggers.

 

[Justin9mm]

I really hope they have put this controller through some rigorous testing because having so many gadgets on a controller makes me fearful of defects, failure and breakage.

The more a controller can do, the more it sucks the battery dry.

 

[kretos]

I like what i'm hearing, i hope not but i fear this controller will break easy and will cost a lot

 

[MrJTeera]

Wonder if in Multiplayer games, can cheaters block your triggers by hacking it? That’ll be a whole new way of cheating.

 

[kretos]

didn't they already say that it lasts x2 DS4

 

[Silver Wattle]

So expect an excessive amount of jams.

I would love to watch the meltdowns

This is going to be the new "weapon degrades and breaks" gimmick like LOZ: BOTW used, isn't it?!

 

[yurqqa]

The more a controller can do, the more it sucks the battery dry.

The main purpose is to have fun and not to protect the battery.

Just go back to wired and feel safe.

 

[Rentahamster]

There will be a nonzero amount of users who break their controller because of this.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

This is fucking retarded. I hope enough people are able to tell him that.

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

I don't see this controller having a long life cycle. I could even see the actuators going bad before the battery starts to degrade. Hopefully there's a way to disable this or buy a cheaper version without these features.

Then again, if the Ds4 isn't supported, I don't see why there would be a way to disable the feature, or using a cheaper 1st/3rd party controller.

 

[Tesseract]

one of those ideas that sounds cool but is functionally stupid

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

You know what would be cool? If everytime you died in a game you get shocked in the nuts! Gee aren't we innovative?

 

[Esca]

Sounds neat. I love the idea coming out from revs on how some are using the controller. I really how it does add that extra layer

 

[eastwood333]

Sony must be paying a lot for these marketing/timed exclusivity deals.

 

[Matsuchezz]

Sounds good, i am all for this kind of interactions with the controller, makes the games more immersive.

 

[TheGrat1]

I always thought Sony should make a sequel to the sharpshooter that was dedicated for shooter games and did not need move wands. I envisioned one of its core features being a trigger with variable "take up" and "break" points that would mimic real guns or even fantasy ones. It would be an extremely immersive experience. I hope devs can create that experience with the DualSense.

 

[Keihart]

I think this is the right context in which people deserve to be called boomers...Bunch of boomers complaining about a really cool feature in a game using a new feature in a console.

 

[Unknown?]

Death Stranding blocked the fun from the Dual Shock 4. So this isn't that innovative.

Instead of calling it something most people won't be able to quickly identify, please just call DS simply GOTY 2019.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I hope you can just turn it off, I will be doing so as soon as I get my hands on it.

 

[PresetError]

Why so much resistance to the DualSense features? I'm sure you'll be able to disable them in games and use your expensive controller like a cheap one if you want.

 

[Knightime_X]

So basically a low key way to wear out and break triggers to replace controllers more often.
I see you, sony.

Some embarrassing responses ITT.

 

[Neolombax]

Cool gimmick...although it open up to more ways for the hardware to fail. The risks of innovation, I guess.

 

[ZehDon]

Maybe I’m just old, but that doesn’t sound particularly fun or enjoyable to me? I’d honestly wonder if my controller was broken when it happened. As long as it’s an option, power to them I guess.

 

[The Gamerlorian]

Hmm intresting but sounds like a gimmick to me not many devs gone to bother with this.

 

[Quantum253]

Wouldn't that be something, the game determines you're cheating so it locks the triggers on your controller!

 

[Quantum253]

Wonder if in Multiplayer games, can cheaters block your triggers by hacking it? That’ll be a whole new way of cheating.

I had the same exact thought.

 

[decisions]

This sounds like an awesome little touch. I'm all for controllers innovating if it doesn't mean entirely dropping the reliable experience we are used to.

 

[RCU005]

Maybe I’m just old, but that doesn’t sound particularly fun or enjoyable to me? I’d honestly wonder if my controller was broken when it happened. As long as it’s an option, power to them I guess.

I can't even imagine how it works, so right now, I'd probably think it's broken, too. My guess is that it's going to be a novelty at first, but we'll get used to pretty fast and become irrelevant after the first few games.

I also wonder how strong the haptic feedback is, because after all the talk about Rumble HD on Switch, I was very disappointed.

They talk about all these vibrations depending on what you do in-game, but judging by the Switch, the vibrations are so weak that there's virtually no tangible difference.

You know that kid that thought it was a neat idea to lick a frozen metal pipe in school? How he'd look cool doing it and nothing could go wrong with it? You ever wonder if someone told him, "hey that is fucking retarted" rather than all the other kids cheering him on like mongoloids? Before you say anything how about you think why people believe the idea is

one of those ideas that sounds cool but is functionally stupid

Maybe, people are just extremely optimistic and I'm wrong here though. Yeah! Maybe people will love getting their weapons to jam like irl which is something that people that shoot all day love. Yeah, yeah! They shoot all day just so that on the off chance the weapon jams, THAT makes your day. Now imagine it, jamming 50 times in one sitting? But with a plastic controller with not so durable triggers. Ebin, simply ebin.

This is truly the best generation YET!

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

Does this mean 3rd party controllers won't exist?

 

[Compsiox]

People will break their triggers soon enough playing this game.

Calm down, dude.

You're seriously overreacting to an innovative feature.

 

[Justin9mm]

The more a controller can do, the more it sucks the battery dry.

This is why I was one of the ones impressed when they said the DS5 battery is going to last 10-12 hours.

 

[Justin9mm]

People will break their triggers soon enough playing this game.

Especially since it's probably a sliver of plastic blocking the trigger inside. Instead of the consoles failing, it might be the DS5 Controllers. It'll be the new epidemic of Xbox's RROD.

 

[Tesseract]

Calm down, dude.

nah, it's fucking stupid

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

I'm simply replying to the thread in a non npc manne..

[TheGrat1]

Sony:

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

nah, it's fucking stupid

Only if they force the player and not actually give the option to disable the feature.

I'm pretty sure thr developers will give the option to disable this feature at the beginning of the game.

It is called: "immersion."
"VR is stupid. Who wants to turn their head to look around like in real life? This isn't real life this is a game. Just let me use the analog stick/mouse ffs."<--What you sound like right now.
Do you want us to get rid of rumble while we are at it? I'm sure some people thought that was a stupid feature when it came out, too.

WTF is "Ebin"?

IMO, Sony should have allowed DS4 compatibility, if they give the option to disable the feature on the DS5.

Comparing VR to a controller locking up on you is as stupid as danganronpa.
