A new Hogwarts Legacy trailer focuses on the PlayStation 5 version. Adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, 3D audio or super-fast loading, here’s the latest information.
Hogwarts Legacy: Hogwarts Legacy is resuming its communication after the lengthy presentation last March. This time, set in the Harry Potter universe, the game praises the virtues of the PS5 version on video.
A next-gen experience on PS5 for Hogwarts Legacy
In addition to the 4K graphics that will be common to all platforms, the PS5 version of Hogwarts Legacy differs from its counterparts with its DualSense controller.
The Avalanche Software teams will use LED lighting around the touchpad to display colors according to the spells cast or received, but also according to the house the player belongs to. As a reminder, there are four: Ravenclaw (blue and bronze), Slytherin (green and silver), Hufflepuff (yellow and black), and Gryffindor (scarlet and gold). This is the most basic usage.
However, immersion will go up a level when performing various actions. Every spell, every trip on the back of a hippogriff or every ride in a chariot has precise and, above all, localized vibrations, which are concentrated, for example, on the right handle.
The different spells will give you unique sensations thanks to the haptic feedback that is a direct connection between the DualSense controller and your wand. These effects only affect the right side of the controller. The DualSense thus becomes a true extension of your wand in-game.When parrying a spell with Protego, you will feel the crackle of magic being absorbed by the shield spell.
Graphics modes and loadouts
In terms of next-gen additions, Hogwarts Legacy will have super-fast load times and 3D audio support on PS5.
PS5’s Tempest 3D audio technology makes you feel like you’re right in the heart of the wizarding world. With the crackling of flames as you cast Incendio, the bubbling of potions in cauldrons, and the unique soundscapes of the different environments, you’ll really feel like you’re there. And when playing without a headset, enjoy additional immersive sounds thanks to the DualSense controller’s speaker. In particular, you’ll hear the flapping of a hippogriff’s wings or the various effects of the spells you cast.
Finally, and this is true for the Xbox Series X at least, there will be two graphics modes “Fidelity” and “Performance”.
