force feedback analogue sticks?

well i was living my life when i had an awesome brainwave: what if you were to make a force feeback analogue stick??come on, that would own, instead of your gun recoiling, the analogue stick actually moves upwards, or when you skid in a car, the annalogues stick actually moves, or like, in a fighting game, you get hit and get jarred backwards.

so what do you think is this an amazing idea or what? :D. i think it would make a great leap for the next generation.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. But pretty cool nonetheless.locopatho

LAWSUIT? :O meaning someone has already invented it???

What's the point? Vibrate does pretty much the same thing, but stronger.

hehe i'm 15 how am i supposed to "invest" in it and such and whatnot??? i just thought that it would be incredibly exciting. hell i'd say more evolutiuonary than wiimote.

i mean like a force feedback wheel. ever tried one of those? it forcefully steers to one dircetion or another when you skid or something. sure they're much bigger motors but then how much stonger is your arm compared to your thumb??

terrible idea why the hell would you want to fight the analog? lol qweewewq

:roll::roll::roll:

ever heard of immersion?? enhancing gameplay??

forcefeed back was lame as crap on daytona usa arcades.

muchless analog stick.

That is an interesting idea. Battery life would probably take a hit with an additional 4 motors for the feedback though.PS2_ROCKS

yeah they'd have to be wired i guess but who cares i actually prefer wired controllers bercause i throw my 360 controller on my bed (with white covers) and spend ages and ages searching for it

Wouldn't the problem be that your thumb just slides of the stick then ?R4gn4r0k

i don't see how it would do that easily. at least with 360s inward going thumbsticks (concave amirite?)

I have a force-feedback stick, that happens to be analog. Microsoft Force Feedback Pro.br0kenrabbit

yeah but i mean thumbstick.

Weird.

But cool nonetheless. I would love to see how it would play out...

so? you can easily limit the "range" of the force feedback, or just make a tumbstick with more degrees of pushing forward. also you are pushing against it. with a force feedback wheel it goes entirely to the end in some cases. the point is you are going against it.

force feedbac analog sticks would be expensive and very fragile because they're too small to have it

and it'd be a pain in the ass

Actually, it does. Haptic technology allows vibrations that produce directional forces to simulate movement in that direction.

Force feedback on a steering wheel, or flight stick, or a gun peripheral (like in the game Sniper Scope), etc., that's fine, because those kinds of controllers are meant to simulate. Those make sense. But force feedback on an analog stick is a total waste of effort, because analog sticks are generic abstractions that don't simulate anything. Directional rumble is just as good.
