Pressure sensitive PS2 controllers did need full pressure on the button actually.

Yeah, you pressed it
But did you press it enough
The original PS3 controllers were pressure sensitive and motion controlled.
My thumb was forever sore after learning that pressing the “X” button down harder actually made the cars drive faster. So glad we seem to have switched to using the triggers for driving games now.
I used the right analogy stick back in the day for acceleration and braking. That worked well too.
Was there a sensible implementation of this? If no, that’s kinda sad. I like it when they try new things.
It just mirrored the PS2 controller features since the original launch PS3 could play PS2 games.
A few games used it, but none of it sounds like a must-have. Just a lot of stuff that could be more effectively done with the triggers.
Yeah I was playing burnout revenge on the ps2 a few weeks ago for the first time in years and getting my ass torn up by my friend. It took my a while to get back in the 8 year old mindset and figure out what was wrong
Once I was watching my brother play counter strike and he would turn away in game and irl whenever he threw a flash bang.
He didn’t even realize he was doing this until I pointed it out.
I honestly do that too and think it’s because of our monkey brain.
When I jump into some place with a pretty low ceiling (like catacombs in Dust 2) I sometimes duck irl to not hit my heod
What about people who lean to the side on the chair, to look around a corner in an FPS?
Thanks to head trackers and VR, this finally makes sense
Tilting the controller made sense at the time of the Wii as well.
Lots of controllers have gyroscopes these days. The ones I’ve personally used are switch, ds4 and steam deck, but I assume it’s a pretty regular feature on newer controllers these days too.
What about us?
It helps us see more polygons.
This is what the next subnautica needs to feel like. Game will only be good if I almost shit myself at night diving 1800m deep.
And this is why I don’t play that game. 😅 Sounds fun for those who like that stuff, though!
I’m all of these fish. If I’m going to spend my life playing a game I want to immerse myself as much as possible.
What about people who lean in closer to the screen as the action intensifies?
I have a belly button.
Is it pressure sensitive, too?
My wife says ow when I get hit in a game.
Lol I totally say ow
Motion controls in GT7 are actually pretty good now 😂, not as good as a racing wheel, but more accurate than the analog sticks.
Ow!

Remember PS2 where pressing the X harder actually made you go faster in racing games?
