"Since the weight of the triggers would determine how shooting a gun felt, it was tricky deciding how much weight felt 'realistic'." As the end result shows, Capcom was able to further drag us into Ethan's European Nightmare by making the pervasive sense that every shot had to count into a physical sensation. The importance of time and care was also expressed by Morimasa Sata, director of Resident Evil Village, who says that while "the PS5 expanded the possibilities of game development", the adaptive triggers did give his team pause. Not everything worked but when it did we kept it and made it better." Easy to implement "We had to experiment, research and be bold to explore what was possible. DualSense connects players to games in an even stronger and deeper way, and with Returnal we wanted to use it as tastefully and innovatively as we could," Louden continues.
So this is why it has had such a massive impact. "For me, when DualSense is used well, it means players are more deeply in flow with the gameplay and story we are trying to tell. Housemarque's narrative director Gregory Louden tells me that the studio was "struck by the DualSense prototype and the potential it had to create something new," adding, "we wanted to bring a new level of immersion, communication, and atmosphere through nuanced and textural haptics." Speaking of games with the potential to impress, Returnal is another of the PS5 exclusives that turned some heads in 2021 with its innovative haptic feedback. By the time we got around to creating Astro's Playroom, we had lots of haptic expressions that we knew had potential to impress new players." Of the process, Doucet says "we were lucky to be part of the prototyping of DualSense since the very early days, getting our hands on controller prototypes and being the team to create demos and showing them back to the hardware engineers, which in turn could tweak the inner technology to best effect. One studio that was introduced to DualSense early on was Team Asobi. In fact, we are dedicating a small team solely on exploring the controller" Nicolas Doucet, Team Asobi "Looking at the future, we think there is a lot more we can get out of this controller. "Their goal is aligned with what we wanted to deliver with the DualSense controller, and the response from game developers gave us confidence that the DualSense controller would be welcomed by many other developers." They started thinking of creative ways to implement the features in their games, and it was great to see this ideation happen," says Aoki. It was mind-blowing and exciting at the same time.
You can see the joy and smiles they had on their faces. "When we first shared the new controller prototype to game developers, their reactions were super positive. Speaking with Toshi Aoki, product director at Sony Interactive Entertainment, I'm told that the first wave of innovative implementation has been possible because creatives were invited to play with the hardware early – and because they liked what they saw when they got there. Launch games will typically work to highlight key innovations of a new system and then, gradually, support will subside over time. It's rare to see such creative implementation of new technology so early on in a generation cycle. Whether it's Returnal simulating the feeling of environmental effects like rain and hail in the palm of your hands, Control making each of Jesse Faden's service weapon forms feel physically distinct, or Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart finding a genuinely new way to manage primary and secondary fire functions, the boundaries of what is possible are yet to be discovered. What's remarkable is that, a year on from the launch of PS5, the novelty of the adaptive triggers and haptic feedback is yet to wear thin.
