would be pretty shitty not to since its all one account and the backwards compatibility is there unlike previous gen ups

did games libraries survive the jump from PS3 to PS4 / 360 to xbox one? I can't remember
― ||||||||, Friday, 12 June 2020 18:26 (three years ago) link
i may be wrong but i think that gen was digital-purchase dominant only near the end of its lifecycle so it was less of a point of contention.

my only disc is ring fit adventure, so i'm really hoping everything else will carried on to ps5.
i don't care TOO much about the hardware design, but yeah, it is really, really bad. attention-drawing in all the worst ways

xp for xbox its game specific, theres a few hundred 360 games that run on the One iirc including most of the major ones, but not everything
for playstation the PS3 games are presumably still on your account but the PS4 can't run them

these details on how some ps5 games plan to take advantage of the improved haptic feedback are really promising!!
In a post today on the PlayStation blog, developers of PS5 games shared some thoughts on how haptic feedback works in the DualSense. The coolest nugget of info comes courtesy of Arkane Studios’ Dinga Bakaba, game director for the upcoming first-person assassination game, Deathloop. Apparently, when your gun jams, the DualSense’s triggers will too. This “[gives] 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,” Bakaba said.We can talk all we want about teraflops and processing power and high-fidelity graphics and other blatantly obvious technological advancements the next generation of consoles will bring. (Indeed, we at Kotaku have. A lot.) But I’d argue that subtle tweaks like this are just as big a deal. Sure, having your triggers jam up in the middle of a match sounds like the type of frustration that makes you want to pull your hair out. It also sounds, to toss out an overused buzzword, immersive as heck. Those who like Arkane’s particular flavor of immersive sim (Dishonored, 2017’s Prey) will likely get a kick out of it.The blog also goes into other uses of the DualSense haptics. For instance, according to creative director Brian Horton, Spider-Man: Miles Morales will apparently feature a sort of rolling vibration. If you use a special move—say, Miles’ “Venom Punch”—you’ll feel the vibration start on the left-hand grip and move rightward across the controller, ending as you wrap up the attack. It’s a far cry from the typical, unlocalized rumble you’d feel while punching, or getting punched, in 2018’s Spider-Man.Gran Turismo 7 will use the DualSense triggers’ haptics to mimic the feeling of a real vehicle’s anti-lock braking system. Sounds interesting to me, but maybe someone who better knows how cars work—someone who didn’t get in a minor collision just last week—would be better suited to explain it.

the 3 exampled explained here are intriguing enough, but to me it's a good sign that the physical sensation of holding the controller and the feedback you get from it is going to be more of a flexible palette for game designers, and that's really cool i think
― The GOAT Harold Land (Karl Malone), Friday, 21 August 2020 04:00 (three years ago) link
I can't remember, is microsoft introducing something similar on the series X controllers? Because when 90% of game development is multi platform, support for platform exclusive features like this tends to go out of the window pretty quickly.
In fact that's even true for single platform first party devs tbh. Eg the HD rumble in the switch joycons, which was demoed really well in 1-2-Switch but then barely used at all in any other 1st party nintendo game.
― JimD, Friday, 21 August 2020 09:49 (three years ago) link
i think the current xbox controllers already have something like that, i remember playing forza there was pretty detailed rumble feedback compared to the ps4 controller's rumble. the stuff about triggers jamming is new though
― ciderpress, Friday, 21 August 2020 12:06 (three years ago) link
I thought in performance cars you generally disable or don’t install anti-lock braking

Maybe because reading one news article becomes a self-perpetuating algorithmic cycle of repetition, but I keep getting served stories about the PS5 Pro built around the premise: why?
