Not only will the new Steam Controller scream at you but it can play tunes as well

GamingI hope the first song that gets replicated is the turret opera from portal 2
Is this close enough?

am I the only one who thinks "screaming" or "playing tunes" aren't features that should belong to a fucking controller?
They're done with haptics, apparently. Do you think haptics don't belong to a controller? It costs you nothing for these to be in the controller and you'll personally also never actually see them.
This is a "QUIT HAVING FUN" moment
all my controllers have had haptics, yet none of them ever played tunes because... how can I say? they were controllers.
Yes.
it seems you are wrong.
Nah.
Yep, but there is no need to cry for it, darling.
See above.
ahahahah I really triggered you fanboys huh?
that's nice.
Yeah, everyone else is crashing out, it's not you. You're acting totally sane.
I don't know why everyone is getting so weirdly defensive about this and downvoting you for stating your opinion.
I agree. It's like the PlayStation controllers that play little sounds from their shitty little speaker that sounds like it was ripped from a cheap children's toy. It doesn't add immersion, it adds annoying. I'd hate to be hearing little dings and noises from my controller while I'm playing a game. That's why I have speakers.
fandoms are weird.
For context, the screaming part is an Easter egg that plays a Wilhelm Scream if you drop the controller.
yeah, I am aware of that, but it doesn't change my opinion.
it makes it worse maybe.
I bet you hate floppotron too
for people like me who have never heard of it:
The Floppotron is a musical instrument created by Polish engineer Paweł Zadrożniak.[1]
It is made of a synchronized array of partially obsolete computer hardware programmed to play tunes. The current Floppotron 3.0 build sports 512 floppy drives, 16 hard drives, and 4 flatbed scanners. The net effect is of a robot orchestra.[2]
no, I definitely do not hate such a cool thing.
So why are you against the steam controller making sounds? It doesn't have a speaker, the noises it makes are from the haptic feedback. It's the same principle
lol
because it's a fucking controller maybe?
Why does that matter?
because, you know, it's a controller.
The cool thing that you don't hate, up above, is a bunch of floppy drives and flatbed scanners. They also aren't supposed to make tunes, but they do, and it's cool.
So?
