On PlayStation Blog, Sony also shared some interviews with different game developers working on upcoming PS5 titles regarding using the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in the DualSense.
Japan Studio, assisting Bluepoint on Demon's Souls for the PS5 are using these enhancements to convey the strength of boss attacks, parrying, magic and the different weapons in the game. Meanwhile, Arkane Studios conveys the sensation of a gun jamming in Deathloop. Insomniac Games is using it to great effect for the weapons in Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and for venom blasts in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales.
