The Amazing Evolution of Rumble/Vibration In Controllers
Ойындар
The sights that you see. The sounds that you hear, the feelings and emotions that are elicited out of you. These are all avenues that games use to immerse you as a player and get you invested in the experience. Some might be subtle like a low-volume wildlife ambience track in a deep-jungle area that you might not even be consciously aware of while others are more visceral like the incredibly well-animated moments of Joel smashing through a clicker’s head with a lead pipe in The Last of Us. But most of the tools that developers use to hook you and bring you into their world are somewhere in between those two extremes.
Things you may or may not notice from time to time but also do a great job at getting you as close as possible to feeling what the character in the game is feeling. Controller vibration is something that exemplifies this well. Whether it's something subtle like the little bumps you might get from sprinting or a jump, or a massive shock to the hands from being shot by an enemy or shooting one of those sentry guns that every first person shooter seems to need to have, the various types and degrees of vibration in controllers have come a long way since their implementation over 20 years ago and still shape our experiences with games by bringing us closer and closer to feeling the impacts of what is happening on the screen.
While some gamers might find vibration feedback distracting and just turn it off, some even going so far as to remove the rumble motors from their controllers entirely, for most, it still works well and the incremental improvements in it have not gone unappreciated. Today, we’ll take a look at some of those incremental improvements to get a better idea of just how far the technology has come, and where it is likely to go in the future.

Fun fact the first game to implement rumble features was Worm Odyssey on the SNES
It amazes me to this day how controller feedback works. The way the motors are programmed with each arm every game to act in a specific way is just amazing

don't forget Japanese releases of dualanalog controller
Damn y’all don’t stop uploading and I’m not complaining 😂
I'm curious to see how Sony's 3D audio and Dual Sense works together. It could be amazing

The Nintendo 64's rumble pack required 2 batteries, not 3

Did you know that Worm Odesey was the first game to implement rumble features?

Yo fantastic video guys !!
If the PS5 controller Rumble/Vibration adds to the GamePlay I'll gladly make PS5 the main Console I use.

@@dantedlane2 the vibration the ps5 dualsense controller features was actually first seen on the steam controller and then it's been present in other controllers like the HTC vive, Oculus Rift and Valve Index VR controllers. It's called linear resonant actuators or marketed by nintendo as hd rumble.

@@looeegee Actually Joy-Cons use the linear resonant actuator as you said, but the DualSense uses Voice Coil Actuator, the technology behind it is actually pretty different.
Before the Rumble Pack, the idea was used in the Aura Interactor.
Few games required the external memory pak to save. Pretty much the games shown did not require the pak and saved to the cart.
Why is my phone vibrating and controller vibrating
Yeah these are amazing

All the gaming channels I will go through afterwards. And I like to play video games too much
First thing I turn off is vibration if I'm using a controller, it's never useful and just serves as a distraction. Why they persisted with it? Even kinect was potentially more useful and better implemented than vibration in most games.

Looks like you haven't played dirt rally or forza horizon games with Xbox one controllers.
The Dualshock was unveiled first....so technically Sony had rumble before Nintendo
don't forget Japanese releases of dualanalog controller
Can anyone identify the game at 3:32?
I feel like HD rumble is the best haptic feedback option we have at the moment (even tho these guys tried to downplay it) I'm curious to see what next gen has to offer tho.

Ngl, last time i'm on console with PS1 and PS2, never play PS3 and above or and xbox. Suddenly this rumble thing come out of nowhere. Im confused what is rumble..... Oh the vibration. People call it rumble eh? Lol.

I think the PS5 controller might be more distracting rather than add to the immersion.
You can tell this was made by an Xbox and Sony fanboy. They simply glossed over HD rumble. And almost completely disregarded the n64 rumble pack because it required batteries even though it was the first game console to have it. And instead praising Sony for having it built in and not an add on. Guess it's better you only had to have bought an entirely new controller instead of an add-on. But yeah praise to Sony and Microsoft. Trigger rumble >>>> HD rumble according to this video.

They also unplayed how much the memory pak for the N64 was required. Few games required it.
I don’t use vibration anyway. Haven’t done for yearssss
Im here for the comments of the fanboys 😂
