I noticed the light on my controller was green while playing Wolfenstein, it is normally blue. Are there other games that do this? Wolfenstein is the only one in my collection that I noticed doing this. Show PSN:Spartan_718 IceHusky13 7 years ago#2 Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition changes the controller light bar too.

SlyfulDragon posted...Shadow of Mordor I think it turns for health status on that game. Most games have something like this (well most major retail games i mean). Also if you have more then one controller connected they will both be different colors depending on the profile they are signed into. -Darkness NCPwn 7 years ago#10 Yes, games can use the light. Warfare strobes like you are at the disco if you die. In fact, it caused my cat to have a seizure (when playing in a dark room) The DualShock 4 is a great controller, but it's designed specifically for the Sony PlayStation 4. That means, at least on paper, that it's not meant to be used with PC games. Fear not, since PCs are such powerful and flexible systems, you can get nearly any peripheral to work on them with a little effort. Here's how to connect a DualShock 4 controller to your PC. If you want to use the most advanced PlayStation controller, we have a guide on how to connect your DualSense to your PC. The good news is that the process is almost the same as it is with the DualShock 4. The bad news is that the particularly special features of the DualSense, like adaptive triggers and subtle haptic feedback, are very hit-or-miss on PC. The Connection ItselfThere are two ways to connect a DualShock 4 to your gaming rig. You can go the wired or wireless routes, but setting up those connections is a bit different than how you would do it on a PlayStation 4 console. The Wired Method
The Bluetooth Method
Getting the Gamepad to WorkConnecting the controller is only the start of the process, due to how the DualShock 4 communicates with your PC. Most current Windows games use Microsoft's XInput, an interface that processes Xbox 360 and Xbox One controller inputs. The DualShock 4 doesn't send XInput commands, so a wrapper is needed to translate its inputs into something your PC can deal with easier. There are two good options: DS4Windows and Steam's controller compatibility settings. The Comprehensive Way: DS4WindowsDS4Windows is a freeware program that tricks your PC into thinking an Xbox 360 controller is connected, instead of a DualShock 4. Follow these steps to get it to work.
What Else Can You Do With DS4Windows?By default, the DualShock 4 acts like an Xbox 360 controller, with the touchpad functioning as a mouse. That said, DS4Windows offers more options. To start, click the Profiles tab and double-click the Default profile (or create your own new profile). This causes an outline of the DualShock 4 to appear surrounded by various settings. Here, you can remap the physical controls, program the touchpad and motion controls to act in different ways, adjust rumble settings, and tweak the analog sticks' dead zones and movement curves. You can even change the light bar's color. DS4WindowsDS4Windows offers many more options for getting your DualShock 4 to feel good on your PC. You shouldn't have to open these settings, because most games will behave properly after you set the software up the first time. The (Potentially) Easier Way: SteamIf your favorite games are on Steam, they'll work with the DualShock 4 with a quick tweak.
Steam's DualShock 4 compatibility is inconsistent, and this technique obviously won't work with non-Steam games. As a result, you may have better luck simply using DS4Windows. On the other hand, if you have a Steam Deck, the compatibility mode there might be your only option without extensive software tweaks (and installing Windows on the system). And, if you can dock the Steam Deck, connecting a DualShock 4 could be the ideal way to play Spider-Man Remastered on it.
