Input Lag on PS4, especially in Starfighter Assault
I am pretty new to Playstation 4, so this might be a dumb question. But here goes:
While playing Starfighter Assault with my GF in Arcade I noticed that something felt off in comparison to the PC-Controls. At first I thought I just hadn't adjusted the controls to those I am familiar with, but no matter what I did with the "Response-curve" and the "Deadzone" options, it still felt weird.
And then I noticed that, especially (or just especially prominent) while turning/controlling the starfighter (aka using the two sticks), the input seemed to be delayed. E.g. If I wanted to dodge an obstacle in last second I often crashed since the game seemed to notice my input to late. Or while turning around I overshot because I held the stick for too long.
The delay was always the same and only a few milliseconds, but still annoying.
So my question is: Where does this delay come from? Is it just a typical delay for wireless controllers? Or is it the game's "fault"?
Hey @CptAmmogeddon
If you're pretty new to console gaming, then controls on PS4 might at first feel slightly weird to you.
I'm a PS4 and PC owner and for me there's always been a small input delay when it comes to playing with a PS4 pad. There are some great games that I play on both platforms and the difference between PC and console controls can be huge, but it's nothing that I couldn't get used to eventually 😉
It's hard for me to tell if you might have an actual problem with input lag in SWB2 now or you just need more time to adjust 🤭 I suggest playing a bit more on PS4 or try different games if you have a chance to see if your sentiment towards the controls won't change.
