So in my time with Uncharted 4 so far...haven't really came across any unique uses of the features of the Dualshock 4...pretty much the only thing that could even be remotely considered a "unique" use of the Dualshock 4 imo is the clicking the touchpad to take out your journal...that's it so far!
Some things I think could've been enhanced with the Dualshock 4 unique features:
- Optional gyro aiming and/or optional gyro camera control: to me, this one's a no-brainer...could've enhanced the precision of aiming at stuff (which could very well work alongside using the right stick to aim as well!) depending on the implementation...when I say optional...I mean a toggle for them in the settings menu somewhere
-Touchpad usage to add more interactivity with puzzles and/or journal: Imagine being able to scribble up (and erase as well) your own additions to the journal. Imagine some puzzles requiring you to swipe the directions of the touchpad on the Dualshock 4 and/or other uses for it I haven't thought out of yet...
-Optional touchpad use to scroll up and down menus: this one shouldn't be too hard to implement...and could even be more readily accepted by people who otherwise dislike/look down upon "gimmicks"...I think using the touchpad to scroll up and down menus as another option besides the d-pad and left analog stick would've been nifty!
-Maybe some kind of way or ways to use the touchpad in order to use the rope/lasso in unique ways...perhaps swirling your finger around on it to whirl the rope/lasso around or something? I don't know haha
-Touchpad being able to rotate and play around with the treasures in the treasures menu...could be very similar to the way Mario Kart 8 lets you do that with the trophies (I think that's what they're called?) after winning a Grand Prix if you're using the Gamepad
-Use of the Dualshock 4 speaker to enhance the immersion in the game somehow
I guess it comes down to the bad reputation the Uncharted series often gets when it tries to experiment with unique features of the controllers/systems they use...I see Uncharted 1 (PS3 original...I think the remaster in the remaster collection scrapped the unique Dualshock 3 stuff altogether...I'd appreciate some clarification on that haha) in particular get lots of hate for it's uses of the unique features of the Dualshock 3...haven't played it myself, so can't weigh in on that yet...and Uncharted: Golden Abyss for the PS Vita I think also gets plenty of flak for the uses of the unique PS Vita features...but perhaps not to the same degree of hostility Uncharted 1 PS3 gets for it's uses of the Dualshock 3 unique features. I did play some of Golden Abyss from a borrowed copy from my friend...and I enjoyed most of the unique features of the PS Vita to enhance the game...
So GAF, what do y'all think? Do you wish Uncharted 4 tried to use the Dualshock 4 in more unique ways, or do you prefer it as-is, "gimmick-free" (at least from what I played so far...not likely the game's suddenly gonna start using unique Dualshock 4 features...but you never know...it might)? I'd appreciate it (but isn't mandatory for participation in this topic) if you'd elaborate on why you feel the way you do on this topic as well
