It was recently revealed the Alan Wake 2 will come with DualSense support that would take immersion to new heights. Using this technology, players can “feel” the guns as well as the rain. Different guns will react differently on controllers, making moments and action sequences in the game have a more elevated experience.
DualSense support. For example, "feel" rain patter on the controller. Each weapon feels different on the trigger, so a shotgun will be markedly different from the crossbow. You can ofc turn this stuff off if you want. Also supported on PC if you use the DualSense there.
