I've had playstations for multiple console generations, but I just ordered an OLED Deck as my first ever "gaming PC". Forgive the naivety, but could non-supported titles potentially get Dualsense features modded in?
Yeah, that's what steam input did, it emulates a controller on the fly, you can even emulate a keyboard and mouse in games that don't support controllers, I have a steam controller and in most fps I configured it to emulate a controller but with mouse look on the right touch pad and gyroscope on a light press on left trigger, unfortunately some games don't support simultaneous mouse and controller use, other games change UI when switching between mouse and controller, which may be annoying
I wish more PlayStation games would allow use of motion controls. I've gotten used to enabling it with Steam Deck to actually make fps games playable for me on controller, then when I switch to ps5 and start tilting the controller for precise aiming and nothing happens...
Steam input, and their customization options for controllers on Steam Deck (or I guess in Steam in general) are incredible, and something I don't see mentioned nearly enough.
I think it wasn't used enough or not creatively enough in the PS3, the only one that comes to mind is Heavenly Sword and its implementation was a bit poor and I'm unsure if it was the Six-Axis fault.
Too bad my Dualsense started drifting less than 8 months after purchasing… it’s just been sitting in a drawer ever since. I liked it, but I feel it was a waste of money.
