According to Mary Yee, Vice President of Global Marketing, their goal is “to tell a unique story through our marketing.” At the opening of the ad, “you’ll see the new console’s features come to life through a young woman’s eyes and her movements.” Representing DualSense haptic feedback, the young woman walks across an icy lake, and as it begins to crack, she can sense the feeling. As the character senses something is awry, a kracken bursts through the ice, further highlighting the power of haptic feedback. In the next scene, the character is in a war zone, noticing sounds all around.
The camera then focuses on a radio when the character hears (and miraculously dodges) what appears to be a tank shell careening past. With the detail of the sound, Sony is showcasing the PS5’s “Tempest 3D AudioTech.” Following that, the young woman draws a bow, signifying the haptic adaptive triggers. These triggers will allow for a sense of power and strength when drawing a bow, firing a gun, or driving a car. According to the PlayStation 5 website, the triggers feature "dynamic resistance levels which simulate the physical impact of in-game activities in select PS5 games."

I think the most effective use of the adaptive trigger [in Gran Turismo 7] is for representing the operation of the antilock brake system (ABS) while braking. A typical ABS releases brake pressure intermittently while the driver applies pressure to the pedal. The adaptive trigger is suited for recreating this pedal feel, and it will allow the player to accurately feel and understand the relationship between the braking force they want and the tire’s grip.
