I'm out of the loop. What did the steam controller do.

[–] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 60 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Despite not having a speaker the steam controller screams when you drop or throw it.

I have no speaker, and I still scream.

Uses similar vibration-based haptic audio output as the Joycons or the Dualsense.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 12 hours ago

Doesn’t the Dualsense have a dedicated speaker in the bottom middle of the face, independent from the haptic vibrators?

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 14 hours ago

Or the original Steam Controller.

Is this post a joke or are you alluding to functionality that exists on a software level in case a controller were to be released that did include a speaker?

[–] MarauderIIC@lemmy.zip 18 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

It uses the haptic motors to make a Wilhelm scream sound effect. Not a joke.

You think they licensed that from...it would be Disney now?

Looks like it is licensed under Creative Commons CC0, so anyone should be able to use it for free

Well that's nice of them.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 1 points 15 hours ago

Wtf I want one just for that alone. Well, I was going to buy it anyways since I have a SD, but now I have even more justification for it!
