Sony Working on Player-Specific Haptic Feedback System

NeoGAFs Kent Brockman

A recent patent from Sony might indicate that the hardware developer is looking to introduce a way for the DualSense controllers to personalize haptic feedback for players beyond the input of game developers. This could make smaller indie titles and the massive library of backwards compatible PS4 titles more interactive on PS5 compared to playing across other systems.

The patent itself looks specifically at finding interactive tasks within a game and creating a haptic response based on what is happening and what the player is supposed to do. This new system will also determine the type of feedback based on information within the player profile, which could be something as simple as a player's PS5 settings for haptic feedback or as complex as their previous playing experiences. It also appears that the primary purpose of this software is to lead players towards interactive tasks or through sections of games through the haptic feedback.
