How Dead Space Taps Into PS5 Haptics And Adaptive Triggers For Immersive Horror

How Dead Space taps into PS5 haptics and adaptive triggers for immersive horror

With the PlayStation 5 DualSense Wireless Controller, Motive players can immerse themselves in Isaac's exciting journey through the USG Ishimura. In various events such as For example, gunfire, asteroid hitting a ship, and a Necromorph attack, haptic feedback allows players to feel the impact as Isaac would have felt it.

Our goal with the weapons was to give each a unique feel to make the experience of fighting Necromorphs even more immersive. Read on for some engaging examples of DualSense controller gameplay.

Set up your plasma cutter and circle the lung cutter's legs. Place your finger on the DualSense controller's trigger and press past the threshold required to fire the weapon just after you feel the weapon vibrate. The trigger on the DualSense controller is pressed again and reset for the next shot.

The same type of trigger effect is found on a flamethrower, but with a slight difference, you can feel a slight vibration in the trigger as the exhaust ignites.

A Swellen starts pulsing when you draw the Pulse Pistol. To survive, you'll use everything you have and dump the remaining bullets to defeat the incoming threat. As long as you hold the trigger in DualSense, you'll feel it release from the gun with every shot.

ability to move and feel

By entering certain zero-gravity zones, the player can activate Isaac's magnetic boots. Through the controller's haptic vibrations, the player feels the impact of each step as the wizard's boots hit the ground.

When players use Isaac's Kinesis and Stasis modules, they get similar real-time feedback through rich haptic vibrations through the controller.

In addition to immersion, players receive valuable gameplay feedback from the controller's speakers. During the player's journey, when performing certain actions such as gathering items, charging their stasis energy, and using their tracker, these effects will be heard over Isaac's RIG audio.

When Dead Space launches on PlayStation 5 on January 27th, you can delve deeper into this iconic story and experience the tactile and customizable activation effects of the DualSense controller.
