| Doctor_MG said: You are misunderstanding, what is happening in the triggers of the Xbox One controllers is vibration. The adaptive triggers have nothing to do with vibration. It's creating tension, not vibration. Edit: Just for further clarification, it isn't using haptic feedback to create tension. It is creating tension through an entirely different means. This is more an evolution of analog triggers than anything. |
I am not referring to the Adaptive triggers in the Dualsense, i am referring to the haptics in the Dualsense, the tech that vibrates the controller. Sure Sony added Adaptive triggers where it also includes Tension however the Haptic rumble was pushed by the X1 controller where it uses twin rumble motors to create the immersion of driving on rough surfaces or pulling a trigger on a gun where each trigger offers separate responses etc. This is something the Dualsense also does + more years after.
| PotentHerbs said: People didn't care about haptic triggers on the Xbox controller because it didn't push the medium forward like adaptive triggers or haptic feedback. Similar to the touchpad on the Dualshock 4 controller that no one cares to mention. That's why reviewers consistently praise good Dualsense implementation. How many reviews praise haptic triggers on Xbox controllers or HD rumble on the Switch? Or how about third party developers supporting those features compared to the Dualsense? That's not something you can gloss over if you want to discuss who popularized/modernized implementation of these features. Regardless of these "similar" features, Sony should get the bulk of credit for moving the current controller forward, since the Dualsense has both features that are much more refined, and it has strong third party support unlike HD rumble or haptic triggers. Its not one or the other when it comes to the Dualsense. Its the complete package that set a new standard for more immersive gaming that will have the industry following suit. |
But Sony didn't push the controller forward, it is doing exactly what Nintendo did years before they did it. Why should Sony get the credit? Because a few games use the DS? What about the few games on Switch which used HD Rumble? what about all the positive reviews HD Rumble received? If you give credit to Sony in this case, you might as well try to give Credit for the PS Move over the Wii Remotes. Sony improved upon the idea and pushed it into VR gaming etc but Nintendo also did it first and more importantly, Nintendo did it right first.
