Pressure sensitive PS2 controllers did need full pressure on the button actually.
The original PS3 controllers were pressure sensitive and motion controlled.
My thumb was forever sore after learning that pressing the “X” button down harder actually made the cars drive faster. So glad we seem to have switched to using the triggers for driving games now.
Was there a sensible implementation of this? If no, that’s kinda sad. I like it when they try new things.
A few games used it, but none of it sounds like a must-have. Just a lot of stuff that could be more effectively done with the triggers.
When I played Smash Melee as a kid, a few of the neighbor kids would flail about so violently that they would rip their controller out of the console, elbow or armbar me in the face to the point I was bleeding and bruised, throw their controllers about the room breaking the controller and whatever it hit, and just outright kick or punch me with a free hand right as I was about to clinch a game.
Years later, I would learn that that one time I came home from school early and saw a man in a neat black suit talking with my dad, who quickly made an exit, this person was not in fact my dad’s friend from work.
He was a fucking FBI agent surveilling the house of the extremely violence normalized kids.
Turns out their dad was some kind of convicted felon in another state, moved here, and was suspected of illegally purchasing or possessing a firearm.
So yeah about half a year later violent-family dad was arrested.
PS: For added irony, my dad later fell down the Q Anon rabbit hole and showed me his whole set up and process for assembling/manufacturing ghost guns with no serial numbers.
‘A wild ride that I was not expecting’ could be the subtitle of my autobigraphy rofl.
For what its worth, as crazy as your dad sounds, that’s technically not illegal in most states so long as there’s nothing preventing him from purchasing one.
Edit:not a lawyer lmao
What about people who lean to the side on the chair, to look around a corner in an FPS?
Once I was watching my brother play counter strike and he would turn away in game and irl whenever he threw a flash bang.
He didn’t even realize he was doing this until I pointed it out.
This is what the next subnautica needs to feel like. Game will only be good if I almost shit myself at night diving 1800m deep.
