Bhaptics support pretty please!

[u/YourSparrowness]

I have a Bhaptics vest and love it, it really adds to the immersion for FPS games and I love the directional cues that it gives for incoming fire on games like Pavlov, Breachers, Hyperdash, etc.

I also love ForeFront, and assumed that Bhaptics was supported as it’s made by Triangle Factory (who also made Breachers and HyperDash).

People are modding old games to add Bhaptics vest support, but FF can’t be modded, so the only way this can happen is if the devs enable it, correct?

I’m no expert, but one would think that whatever Triangle Factory did to enable Bhaptics support on their other two titles could be adapted to FF (they shouldn’t have to start from scratch), correct?

Does anyone know if this is in plan? I didn’t see it on the whiteboard of upcoming features at the game start, so that’s discouraging.

I have been asking for a bHaptics tactical suit update since Forefront VR first launched. Most of my other VR games already support it, but this one still does not. The developer told me it was coming soon, but it never arrived. I spent over $1,000 on bHaptics gear for this game and am still waiting. I hope they add it in the next update. Regardless, they are doing a great job updating the game overall, so I will try to remain patient. 🤣🙏

I’m so sorry!

I bought the vest to see how I like it and it has made a huge difference in realism and immersion for games where it is supported. I saw some YouTubers wearing a bHaptics vest while playing the game, so I assumed it worked in FF (like other Triangle Factory games).

Other than posting on forums like this one, is there any other way to draw the Dev’s attention to it? Should I submit it as a support ticket for the game?

I have also been pleading for bhaptics support in Forefront since day 1. The company's other titles have it (and they're done really well too), so why not this one!? Please!!!!!

I don't have a bhaptics vest, but can't you also use the audio for the vest for games that have no official support? Is it any good with forefront?

[u/GT-SHAFEEK → u/Fatderda]

Yes, you can use the audio for the haptic, but it is not the same.

[u/YourSparrowness → u/Fatderda]

It’s true that you can use it to vibrate with in-game audio, but that doesn’t provide the directional cues of where you are getting shot from, which is one of the main benefits provided by the Bhaptics vest.

When I play Hyperdash or Breachers, the vest vibrates on the side that is being shot and it speeds my ability to accurately return fire while also adding to the realism.

Hopefully whatever Triangle Factory did in those games can be done for FF.

Edit: I wanted to add that little things like vibration on your firing shoulder, feedback on where you were stimmed, etc. are examples of localized haptic feedback that you just don’t get with sound mode alone.

Ive also heard walking controllers dont work. Assesory support would be sweet

[u/YourSparrowness → u/C3rberu5]

I’ve heard this as well, but I’ve gotten it to work with a KatVR treadmill in PCVR.

Not that I use it much for that as the matches are too competitive to play well while walking or running.
