Today, the team revealed some more details, specifically for the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controllers and its advanced haptic feedback system.

Adaptive Triggers

• THROTTLE: The throttle simulates the progressive resistance of the real grip. This function is only available when the command is associated with an adaptive trigger (R2 / L2).
• BRAKE: The brake simulates the progressive resistance of the real lever. This function is only available when the command is associated with an adaptive trigger (R2 / L2).
• TCS / LIMITER: Throttle vibration simulates the traction control system (TCS) intervention or engine limiter. This function is available only when the command is associated with an adaptive trigger (R2 / L2).
• ABS: The brake vibration simulates the intervention of the anti-lock braking system (ABS). This function is available only when the command is associated with an adaptive trigger (R2 / L2).

Motorcycle Effect

• ENGINE: Engine vibration at rest, acceleration from standstill and reaching high rpm.
• GEAR SHIFT: Gear shift pedal simulation
• BACKFIRE: Backfire blast.
• LOSS OF GRIP: Loss of front and rear tire grip.

Ambient Effect

• SURFACES: Differentiated simulation for the main contact surfaces outside the track (curbs, sand, grass).
• RAIN: Simulation of rain drops that varies in intensity according to the speed of bike.
• OPPONENTS: Collisions or proximity with opponents. The wireless controller returns a localized vibration corresponding to the position of the opponents with respect to the player’s bike.
• FALL: Collisions with terrain and track elements following a a fall.
