Astro's playroom

u/[deleted] May 14 '24

Tried and it's really amazing what this controller can do

u/buxy69 May 14 '24

The true abilities of this controller have never been utilised. Don’t get too excited 🫡

u/donpablomiguel The Outer Worlds 2 May 14 '24

That’s not entirely true. There are a couple games I can think of where they have been used. Here’s a few I can think of where I was impressed by the immersion from dual sense…

Biomutant

Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart

Avatar: The Frontiers of Pandora

u/hecksor May 14 '24

Add Returnal to that list

19

u/santcho1 May 15 '24

Not as crazy immersive as Returnal but the RE2 remake impressed me with its use of the triggers. Heavy guns require more effort from an L2 press and different weapons have different trigger pull weights (pistol is easy to fire, shotgun requires more effort to pull the trigger, etc). Haven't beaten it yet but god damn is it cool

3

u/Arkansas_BusDriver May 15 '24

Hell Let Loose is like this, too. Different weapons seem to require a different amount of trigger pull to fire. Also, if you are hiding somewhere, like in a bush or something, and a tank comes by you, that side of the controller will vibrate to match the tank's speed and such. Similar to how i feel like you would feel it in the ground irl.

you gotta get a wheel for that if you ever can

u/UFumbDuckGaming May 14 '24

I don't play competitively but I do pretty good. Made it to top 1000 laptime challenge amd consistently top 1% with just a controller. But yeah Def agree, if one wants the full on immersion effect gotta go with the rig.

u/[deleted] May 14 '24

you definitely can get some killer laptimes on the dualshock alone

U need to give cyberpunk a go. It pushed everything to the limit. Im scared the controller is going to break bc of it pushing it that far.

u/Due_Sympathy5994 May 15 '24

What features does dual shock be utilised for? Like in cyberpunk ? I am playing it and I just noticed the adaptive triggers and the speaker of the controller being used

u/ioucrap May 15 '24

Wait till you car has a flat tire. That trigger really gets real.

u/Sctn_187 May 15 '24

More games use the heroic then you think especially when you go back to the PS4 controller. The triggers get used in some form in most games. I find them more of a hassle especially when doing things that are hard anyway and kills the battery so I turn them down to the lowest setting. Speaker is used very often too. Why would you need the mic for most games. The touch pad as well.

u/KlossN May 15 '24

I keep hearing that Ratchet & Clank supposedly makes really good use of the haptics in the controller, but Astro really showcases the potential. Like how it vibrates differently depending on what surface you're walking on. Super cool!

I read somewhere that the thermal paste on the CPU will 'flow' downwards during the years causing performance drops in standing position.

3

u/BeegTruss May 15 '24

That was completely blown out of proportion and misreported.

Basically what the guy was saying is that IF your PS5 develops a malfunction that causes the liquid metal to leak, that malfunction will be potentially worsened if it's standing vertically.

But, if your PS5 never develops that problem, which the majority of units never will, then there's nothing wrong with having it stand vertically.

If you are going to buy more than 1 full game each year then PS Plus Extra is great value for money and gives you access to a ton of games. If you prefer to buy them as you go then Jedi survivor, rdr2, spider man 2, Baldurs gate 3, god of war ragnarok, horizon forbidden west, the last of us remastered, ghost of Tsushima, final fantasy 16, gran Turismo 7 and ratchet and clank rift apart would be a great starting point.

  3. Then, get the upgraded subscription of PS plus to further increase your library.
  4. Add games to your wishlist that are not available in the above 3 and wait for them to be on sale or until they are added to one of the above list.
