This dude added rumble and basic adaptive trigger support to his build of DS4 Windows. Just tried it out and it's some pretty cool stuff. It only works over a USB connection at the moment, though. It also has a bunch of sliders you can use to adjust the intensity of the feedback.

It's very funny and cool to see Steam Input API and DS4Windows competing to get the better support for Dualsense first :evilblob:

But if Sony truly are to release some of their PS5-led games on PC an official driver for the Duelsense is inevitable.

I hope Hades is gonna win GOTY at TGA, but TLOU2 is something that is simply too big to fail at the moment, even if it's not the best game of the year by a long shot.

Valve not celebrating any of their 4 nominations is pretty telling, Geoff gonna wait a couple of years for the next interview.

Don't underestimate how lazy companies can be, or at least I could see Sony taking years to get around to that.

I can see the scenario where Sony isn't doing that just to make PS5 versions of games slightly more "unique".

True but in the meantime we have two open source projects giving support, one from a big distributor and the other from the community itself, I still think it's an amazing thing to see.

Pondering going xbox controller with rechargeable batteries instead of play & charge.
I have no use for this type of batteries in a rechargeable form except for the pad, which will feel odd and add clutter in my home.
Then again, I can't deny that in my experience the old Xbox pad was far lighter with batteries than with the kit. It was very pleasant.

So, Steam sale soon right?
Next week I think
People so hungry for PS5 that every European Amazon is crashing (at least on PS5 pages), expect Italy who doesn't still have PS5.

I started Halo 2 last night, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than the first Halo so far. It's almost one set piece after another instead of running through endless amounts of copy-paste corridors. The game is also less frustrating on Heroic difficulty. Dual wielding makes a huge difference against larger groups of enemies.
Oh, just you wait...

Some of the boss fights, vehicle sections and levels against the Flood will test your patience. Also, any level with Jackal snipers. I swear, the Covenant could've won just by pumping up their Jackal numbers. Hell, give them some active camo to have it over and done with in an afternoon.

Do I need the play & charge kit if I want to play plugged or can I just buy an USB cable and that's it ?
Is it USB-C to USB-C ?

You can use any USB-C cable to use it on your PC. Doesn’t matter if it is A or C as long as it has one C for the controller

Yep. Anyone decrying regional pricing as "publishers protecting their interests" and "they don't need games because they are luxury products" has never seen or experienced what it is for a good to be priced like this, for entertainment to be out of reach like some luxury product while people look down their nose at you.

Argentina, among many, many others, is a place that has fallen on hard times and I'm glad to see the gaming media finally pick up on the regional pricing obscenity and how DRM is instrumental in completely denying people in those countries any recourse for entertainment and art.

That would have been a cool reveal without the spoiler. IOI is publishing and developing, but it doesn't even have a name yet. It'll probably be a while.

That's underwhelming... The only developer who can make a good 007 game is probably IOI. So I am excited towards the full game.

Nabs yeah, within a couple of seconds of hearing the chords at the start i was thinking "This has a Bond feel to it" then you see the grooves and it was confirmed.

I wonder if it will be Hitman reskin with some driving sections?

Lessons of the past forgotten in a hardware generation.
Not shocked. Is it the same for PC or are consoles the bigger culprit due to pricing/availability?
i imagine it's more or less the same now with how pretty much all big publishers have been handling regional pricing for Argentina on steam for a good while now

You can just plug it in, the kit isn't needed.
The controller itself is USB-C, you can either use an USB-A to USB-C or an USB-C to USB-C cable.
There was no cable included for me.

Tip: Download the Xbox Accessorizes app. There is a Firmware Update for the controller.

Yeah I realized how freaking dumb this part of my post was a little later. Far too late to be honest :p

edit -
You could say the whole question was dumb, but clarity is not the best when you offer three fucking versions of your controller (vanilla, wireless included, play & charge)

Hero Rocket League game launched today. From the My Time at Portia team, Pathea Games.



Currently having some issues with the play button but they are working it out.

Here's an alternate way to start the download

On the positive side of not being able to get a PS5 this year:

  • Makes me have to wait to get Demon's Souls, meaning by the time the console is in stock a PC version may be announced or heavily rumored
  • Less chance of launch problems
  • PS5 games will be on more sales next year (I hope at least)

I thought for myself "Well back to PC gaming" after I missed all the shots for a PS5, but I realize that DeS is the only game I would have gotten asap, so when I had finished DeS the console would dust down again until Miles and Sackboy went on sale or Ratchet releases.

I guess having a massive PC backlog is a good thing during these times. Helpes me cope with the lack of PS5.

What about an Xbox?
I already have a One X for game pass, BC and games like Rare Replay that are not on PC.

Otherwise all upcoming games from MS will be played on PC. So unless MS changes that strategy, Im not getting any more Xbox consoles.

I must admit that my attraction to shiny new things has been severely tested now and then over the last few months but i have PC/Switch/PS4 backlog to go through and the PS5 doesn't do 1440 so it would probably look a bit off on my monitor and i'm not getting a new 4k TV & AV Receiver just for the PS5.

The fact it's a total crapshoot if anywhere actually has any in stock also makes more sense for me to wait until next year. More games, bugs and performance ironed out in both games and console etc. It's a shame the launch line-up for both MS & Sony didn't really excite me and by shame i mean, thank god, or i'd have been suffering massive FOMO right now :D

The popular Steam curators are mostly memes. And then there are these which look legit but feature weird coincidences.

Setting up a fake curator with bot subscribers looks like a good way to receive free games.









Yep so many bs curators solely used to farm free games and then trade them for others to resell on grey market reseller sites etc... So many have thousands of followers but less traffic than mine. They are also mostly run by the same half dozen people or so.

The Humble gift crack down has put a large hole in that market. Most of the complainers were people buying these, not from Steamgifts or friends.

That's already done, I think. Several times in this very thread, even. 👀
It's really crazy when you think about it.

Sony releasing their big guns on PC....No one would have ever seen that coming.

With allegedly so many PS4 SIE games in route to PC, I can only wonder how many will be announced at once unless they spread those 6-7 games over 5 years or something.

I still think they are gearing for a Sony PS Store announcement with a strong launch lineup.
