You remember when PS3 didn't launch with rumble, but the sixaxis at least had motion controls? People tore sixaxis and Phil Harrison apart, said rumble was so important and they could not see themselves playing without rumble, that the games would feel empty without the feature.
Cue today, so many comments on "it's the first thing I'll turn off", "Only a few games will use it", and such statements only serve to minimize the importance of the feature, but this is not plain old rumble, this is an evolution from that. As can be seen in the OP, even devs who thought the uptick was just a minimal one was blown away by the feature when they got hands on and saw how they could implement it in their games.
There is no way that the adaptive triggers are underutilized because PS5 is going to be the market leader, and feedback in games is already established, more so than track pad use. People knock track pad use on PS5, but never mention that PS4 revolutionized an audio jack, a speaker and a share button on a controller. Many laptop users don't even use a track pad, because they'd rather use a mouse, but it was a perfect fixture for consoles and I thank Sony for including it, because there were some wonderful implementations, but you really can't compare track pad use with haptics. Haptics is just revolutionizing on a pretty standard and well established feature on controllers, which is feedback, just that it's taking it to many new levels.
As we speak, I better start working on a smell chip before everyone catches on. We've already had immersion with 3d space and VR, we are coming strong with 3D audio even on a headset next gen, graphics technology with nanite, lumens, raytracing, high rez textures and lifelike materials are a go, now feedback on controllers, racing wheels etc are going to take a huge step up...... I guess smell is naturally the next step...... Yet, I must say the latter is both exciting and horrifying at the same time, but the person who can make it work and commercialize it is in for some serious kudos and dough......
Mom, what are you cooking? Hey take a smell of it, transmits through your olfactory system, maybe you would need a device plugged into your nose or just patched on to accept the transmission...... Ranting a bit here, but I'm always excited for new technology is the point being made.
I think we should be happy that devs are excited for haptics, pretty much all third party devs including Bethesda are extremely excited about the dual sense..... As I said before, all this excitement can't be fake or manufactured, simply because there is too much concensus there....
