I completely understand why Valve decided that the touchpad haptics were good enough, the deck is heavy as it is already. I’d still love to have the option of adding some proper rumble on the deck for the games that deserve it.

      I’m honestly confused by stuff like returnal having PC ports. I can’t imagine it being properly playable without the feedback on the trigger pull from the PS5 controllers.

      Sony’s two “gimmicks” were two of the most exciting things to happen to gaming in a long time as soon as the announced them to me (the other being the combination of architecture to make loading effectively immediate. PS4 games load way faster than on PS4, but PS5 games are silly, and it unlocks gameplay you couldn’t do without it).

      I did wait until the library built out and only just recently pulled the trigger, and it’s more impressive than I expected. Of course, I spend a lot of my time playing last gen stuff now that I’m not hampered by ten minutes of loading every time I’m less than perfect on the difficulty cranked up where I like it, so patience wasn’t needed, but whatever. It’s a nice piece of tech though.
