Dualshock 4 Internal Speaker

[Tazman]

Does anybody else really like how the Dualshock 4 speaker has been used so far?

I honestly didn't even realize it was there until I played Resogun, and it really helped give the game that 'arcade' feel. It was also used a bit in Second Son whenever your phone rang (maybe for some other things to) and it just made the audio a bit more realistic when it happened.

Do you like it?
Will game developers take advantage of it?
It it a useful feature?

Not sure if its really useful yet,but it does almost add an extra dimension to some games.
For eg in Killzone SF when you pick up the audio logs they start playing through the DS4 speaker,which makes it feel like you actually have that audio log in your hand,pretty simple but effective.
Ofcourse if you are playing with a set of gaming headphones on you will hear it playing through your headset,so wont have that effect.

I know when I'm playing Infamous: Second Son and I'm drawing power from something, it plays through the speaker. The audio is OK I guess. Better than the Wii-motes.

I really like it, specially in inFamous when you are painting the walls, it makes controller really feel like an spray.

I havent really found it useful so far to be honest.
Its a nice feature to be fair.
However, it is not for me.

The use on Sniper Elite 3 is amazing but it adds a completely simple but, extra dimension like others have said. It does the following:

If you realod the sound comes out your DS4 Controller
If you're using a bolt action weapon, the sound comes out your DS4 controller
If a friend is reloading or using a bolt action weapon and you're near by, the sound comes out your DS4 controller.

Overall it adds an amazing dimension to the game.

I really like it and I hope more developers use it in their games since it adds some kind of depth that other games don't have. Even if it's just something simple like a phone ringing or a spray can, I appreciate every single use of the feature because it's something new and unique. I'm not sure if it's used in racing games but that's another genre where I think the use of this feature could be really nice.
