High-G Turns Return with PS5 Trigger Feedback
Ace Combat 8 retains high-G turns and familiar arcade flight controls. On PS5, DualSense trigger resistance communicates acceleration, deceleration and the combined input used for a high-G maneuver.
What the official material confirms
The hands-on report describes R2 acceleration, L2 deceleration and holding both for high-G turns. Standard missile, special weapon, gun, target switching and weapon switching controls were also demonstrated.
Why this matters to players
Returning players receive a recognizable control foundation, while tactile feedback aims to make changes in aircraft energy feel more physical. It remains a flight shooter rather than a requirement for simulator-level knowledge.
What is still unconfirmed
PC and Xbox input feedback, remapping depth, accessibility toggles, controller presets and the exact energy penalty of repeated high-G turns are not confirmed.
