Conor Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I doubt they'll force anyone, I'm interested to see how the feature gets used. If done right, a lot of the skeptics and naysayers will reverse their positions (like with analogue sticks, rumble, touchscreen etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You asked the question and the answer was that most people are not interested in those features. They're not 'wrong' and neither are you, it's just personal preference. You seem to want to 'convert' people to your way of seeing things. Since it's so subjective why does it matter? Personally, I want a single player game with nice graphics, a good story and no online or multiplayer content. that's pretty much all I want from my console! For others it's different. C'est la vie! People are diverse. Share the love man! xx P.S. I get where you're coming from. You want more innovation and you feel held back by the conservatism of other gamers. That's cool and I understand your position. Just so you know I'm not having a go! No problem, and yes that’s the position I’ve come to as well. I didn’t want to make it seem like I was having a go either. I fully expected people to give good reasons why Sony mandating something is bad, but am frankly aghast at peoples lack of interest in advancement (and yes they are wrong in that general philosophy, but I didn’t mean to make it seem like I was attacking people for a deficit in imagination, that is nobody’s fault) 10 hours ago, Lan Stee said: I doubt they'll force anyone, I'm interested to see how the feature gets used.

I doubt it’ll get used without Sony requiring the effort though, not when PC and Xbox don’t allow the option.

We have far too much 'advancement' in my opinion. We need to grow less, develop less, work less, build less (in the West)! More mindfulness, more spirituality, more community, more love and kindness! Yes, I'm a bit of a hippy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm a bit of a hippy!! I’m with you on the love and kindness, but develop less? No. We need to develop ways to survive coming ice ages and the death of our star. Stopping development is not a moral option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da-Noob123 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I like the idea of this haptic feedback, feeling the tension of a bowstring in Horizon / Tomb Raider- sweet. However, I think it should be strongly encouraged not enforced/ mandated. Lair on the PS3 suffered from this in regards to the Sixaxis motion control. Also, haptics should be able to be turned on and off for people with arthritis or other afflictions that would be affected by a button that resists them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulTorment Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I am opposed to mandatory haptics, not innovation in general. Seems like an odd mental exercise is required to think that one equals the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to all the people saying “i just need [these already standard things]...” and proceeding to call anything new “gimmicks” LMAO!

thefourfoldroot Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) So, apparently Sony are looking to make using haptics as easy as possible by utilisation the sound effects in games. Surely with all this help devs can’t complain of too large a work burden for such a great feature. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2020/08/ps5_can_generate_haptic_feedback_from_sound_effects Edited August 31, 2020 by thefourfoldroot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
